This entire entry was erased somehow. The following is a reconstruction from various information sources.
On Wednesday, I had my second session with Joanne Hurvitz, in the mini-gym at the RV park. Not so good.
That night we watched “The Butler” from the redbox. It was only so-so, notwithstanding the hype.
Becky went to visit her dad on Thursday. All the brothers and sisters had dinner brought into Bill’s home that evening.
On Friday, we dropped off the dogs at The
Grand Paw for the weekend, and Becky took the truck to the Terranea Resort in
Palos Verdes for her annual spa weekend with the gang from the Organization of
Women Executives.
I bided my time until Sunday, which was the day set aside
for the Super Bowl and its attendant debauchery---which I did all by
myself. It wasn’t that much fun as a
result. Becky saved me from myself by
arriving back home Sunday evening.

Monday and Wednesday were more workouts with Joanne. I did a little better, although I’m not
feeling all that great.
Wednesday was also a day for the dogs. Becky and I took them for a long walk across the open desert adjacent to the RV park, then we took Ramsey to the vet because he was limping. Becky first drugged him (Ramsey, not the vet) so he would cooperate. It turned out he had injured one of his paws. Apparently, there’s little a vet can do under the circumstances but hope we can avoid having Ramsey walk on rough surfaces.

During one of the dog walks around the RV park, Becky
noticed that our old rig was parked in one of the spaces.
On investigation, we learned that, as we had suspected when we first saw the rig, connected up, at the rear of the dealership long after we had traded it in, it had been bought by the service manager at the dealership and he had moved it into the park for a while since there was no longer any room for it at the dealership. We confirmed with him that the rig was doing well and he and his wife were very comfortable living in it.

On Friday afternoon, we attended the Fabulous Palm Springs Follies,
an institution in the desert that is in its final year---after 24 years. It was a terrific show, hosted by its founder,
Riff Markowitz.
The Follies was a Ziegfield Follies-style dance and musical revue show that played seasonally from November to mid-May at the Plaza Theater in Palm Springs and had as cast members only performers who were 55 and over.
I love Jewish humor and this was full of it. Before the show, we had lunch at the Italian restaurant adjacent to the theater.
On Saturday, we watched Rush from the redbox. It was a very interesting film, starring Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad, and I started another novel---Tick Tock by James Patterson, having just finished The Appeal by John Grisham..

On Sunday, we went to the Marriott Desert Springs Hotel for
a drink. We had first (and last) been
there more than 30 years ago, before we were married. It’s still an impressive place.
After that, we stopped at the College of the Desert’s weekly street fair to have a piece of Becky’s jewelry repaired.

On Monday, we returned to the usual daily routine of pickleball, walking the dogs, and reading.
