Nobody's been on da Stoop for a week. Hope everyone's OK. My life has been very busy, it's never fun stuff, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. The weather's been good tho, overcast mornings and pleasant afternoons. Sometimes it's been downright cold, like low 60s. Hot weather will begin soon enough.

Still don't have access to my Word program, it's an inconvenience to say the least, but I've learned to work around it tho it's not the greatest thing. My laptop disappeared, I lent it to my daughter, she thought she returned it, anyway it's gone. I may be buying another desktop AND another laptop.

Went down to UCLA for the first time in over a year to see Mike's neurologist. UCLA is a very big pain, the parking is difficult and the place is so big. He will be needing to have the battery in his chest replaced. I expect it will be scheduled in the next two weeks. This darn battery goes out every 2 years.
