Oh, THAT'S what it was...

  Today Anne took Jim and Bob to Pyramid Lake. When I got home Bob told me "That's what I saw when flying in! It's a beautiful lake out in the middle of nowhere with nothing around it." Yep. That's our high desert lake. It's on an Indian reservation and there are only a few houses out there. They like to keep it as natural as possible.     Tonight Jim cooked dinner for everyone. This was great as I really needed to wind down after a second day of High Anxiety at work. He fixed home-made chile rellenos, platanos and fried yellow zucchini with a side of mango/chile pepper/avacodo/cilantro salsa (no tomatoes). Delicious!     Just before dinner was served, Cheeze & Dan called on Skype and chatted for a few minutes with Anne. They'd had someone working on their computer setting up a new printer. Before signing off, they made tentative plans to Skype in on Friday night. Hopefully, they'll be joined by other family members. Be sure to have the latest Skype Beta so that you can see all participants!     After dinner, we all sat around the living room talking and relaxing. Then Yota called and Anne chatted with her and wished her a birthday while Jim, Bob and I discussed the economy and the presidents responsible. I don't usually engage in political discussions, but it was pleasant to find someone that understood the history leading up to our current situation.     After a while, Anne wrapped up her phone call and I flushed her PICC lines before hitting the sack. This seemed to fascinate Jim, who watched from a few feet away. She showed them where the tubes went in and described how they stop just outside the heart valve.     No movie tonight, although we briefly discussed watching Something About Mary. Perhaps tomorrow night there'll be a flick report.     Sending blessing on the breeze your way, Don and Anne     ---
