Fri, Mar 7, 2025:  St. Louis, MO:  

Did a little clean-up outside this morning and then to lunch at my favorite Mexican restaurant--hoping it wasn't shuttered because of what's going on in Washington right now.  Still there and enjoyed my lunch.  Back home and started watching "Band of Brothers" based on the Stephen Ambrose book "D Day".  An amazing collaboration with Stephen Spielberg and Tom Hanks--and directed by Tom Hanks.  I've read several of Ambrose's books:  Undaunted Courage about the Lewis and Clark expedition.  A great read.  Also, Crazy Horse and Custer, and I'm now reading "Nothing Like It In the World" about the building of the Transcontinental Railroad.  He's such a prolific writer.  He was also President of the D-Day Museum (now the WWII Museum) in New Orleans.  Mike and I visited there many times and contribute to it every year.  A nice day today.  Looking forward to next week in the 70s.

RIP Mike.  So lucky to have you in my life.
