Days 6,7,8

Both of us started feeling ill on day 6- the past monday, but we decided to go ahead with  nice dinner at our favorite restaurant and then see "Bridge of Spies" with Tom Hanks.  The dinner was excellent and so was the movie!  We got home a little late- something we would not have done two weeks earlier with a work day the next day!  However, Jim did not sleep much that night and was quite sick with cold or flu all day the next day and well into the following day, so day 7 was lost and close to half of day 8 (today).    Jim took trash to the transfer station today rather than Sat, for probably only the 2nd or 3rd time in 30 years!  Because elections are coming up, the campaigners usually show up there on Sat. and slow things down, so going on Wed. avoids that!  Temperature have warmed bit, but it is clearly fall.  Jim is slowly getting used to using his new macbook and transferring files and such from his old computer. There are some interesting options around for being able to run windows on the mac too, but some of these sound easier than they probably are in reality.  Software upgrades would probably be needed as well.
