Change is good! Well at least change we choose. 

As we arrived in Rochester, we learned that the new owners of the apartment building we are in had evicted friends of ours. We were concerned that they might not renew our lease next Summer. the good news for us is that it was specific to our friends and there is no current desire by the new owners to clear out the current tenants. The decision whether to keep our perch in Rochester can be pushed off into the future.

Carol and I have been trying to figure out what to do with our travel bug since we cancelled our Sicily trip. Carol has been bugging me about travel to Iceland. I got an email from OAT that featured an extension to Iceland and forwarded it to her. That trip is not suitable but I started looking at Iceland trips.  On line there was nothing available in our preferred timeframe. Not being willing to give up I submitted to the endless on hold experience to see what might be available. Lo and behold a departure on August 6 is available. Well it was, we booked it. 

We will be flying out of New York so those of you in the region can expect the possibility of a visit either on the 5th or the 18th of August. To be determined. 

We have been very busy here as we visit with our many friends and go to meetings that we have either zoomed to or just skipped. Somehow, along about 1 PM I start getting emails and calls from Jojoba Hills and engage my role there. Carol’s complaint is that I am sitting too much. She is right, but we do get out with Rohma and Josh on the weekend and getting up and down from my chair might we called exercise. 

Next week Jazz Fest starts on Friday. I expect I will be posting plans and results daily during the event.
