Well, now, ain't this sweet. I am in my own home typing on to the Mudcat. Ah, life is good.

Gordon got this computer at a rummage sale for $40. He then had to buy a power cord for it. I have it until I can get a real computer. This is an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 440CDX running Windows 95. I had to reload Windows but now I am back on line. The computer is slow but it works.

I am two weeks into my retirement and life is good. The pain of August and September is fading and I am enjoying life. My motto these days is, "Twenty four hours a day and they're all mine!" I set myself up with a few errands each day and take them slowly enjoying each one. Today I paid some bills and got the materials I need to fix the side of my filing cabinet where it got burned.

On the way home I stopped at Ylig Bay to take pictures. Dad wants them to see how the area has changed since 1947. I don't think he will come to Guam. He is not interested in the long flight.

Wakana is still in Japan. We call each other nightly. She has apparently radically changed her hair style. Good thing she warned me. I have a bad habit of not noticing such things.
