I got a call at 6:00 am this morning from my son, who had arrived in Bangor, Maine. He wasn't there long before flying to Texas for about a week debriefing and then will be coming home to New York. I feel like a ton of weight has been lifted from my heart.
I'm walking with Jeannie this evening and afterwards will have dinner at her house. My leg muscles are still sore, but skipping the walk yesterday helped to heal them. Actually, doing nothing but lying around on the couch did more to heal them than anything.
Steve will be over early in the morning to start on power washing and coating the roof. I wonder if I dare get up there to help. I will feel a lot better leaving the house for the next month or so if the roof is taken care of. Sacramento is likely to get rain while I'm gone.
Speaking of rain, I hope all those living along the eastern U.S. have taken precautions for the damage that is likely to occur from Hurricane Sandy's arrival. Fortunately my son had a very large generator installed after a couple of lengthy power outages. It cycles on once a week to test it, and always caught me off guard when it came on.
Another weekend coming up - it won't be long before I'm pulling out and starting my trek across the country.

So glad to hear your son is back. But I think I wouldn't go up on the roof to celebrate.
