Bryce arch
Here’s a natural arch somewhere at Bryce Canyon National Park. Great Art courtesy of the exclusive iPhone-cam, taken at Bryce Canyon National Park a couple weeks ago, and part of my famous Vacation series.
Been a good couple of days. We went to the doctor yesterday and were delighted to learn that LRN4’s white cell count has started going down. On Thursday, it was at about 50,000 cells/microliter. Monday, it was 32,000. Thats a huge relief and we’re feeling much more optimistic.
LRN16 and LRN17 get here tomorrow! They’ll be visiting us for two days, during which time they plan to cook us a bunch of food and do whatever other work LRN4 asks them to do. I suggested they work on my transmission, but LRN16 seemed a little too anxious to give it a try, so I withdrew the request. I’m really looking forward to their visit.
Fortunately for them, they won’t be needing to clean the house. I hired the cleaners on Saturday and they came for the first time on Monday. They’ll be here every other week for the foreseeable future. They did a beautiful job. As LRN9 said on the phone today, hiring a cleaning company may turn out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Got the slide scanner and neck pillow I mentioned on Friday. LRN4 reports the neck pillow is working great, and I’ve already scanned about 125 slides. I’m not happy with the quality of the scans quite yet – very contrasty, very fuzzy, and generally of very low quality. I need to check the settings I’ve been using and see if there’s anything I can do to bring the quality up. Even so, it’s been really fun to see some of our old pictures again. Can’t wait to get all of them scanned. There are many hundreds.
And it’s late already, so I’ll leave my Loyal Readers with this exciting Morrowlife Employment Agency job opportunity: shark-like attack otter!
See you tomorrow.

What a great visit we had with LRN16 and 17! They were awesome in attacking my “to do” list, and cooked food fit for the gods! Thanks!
