We arrived safely on Thursday afternoon after a relatively pleasant journey. The Interstate between Nashville and Chattanooga is often so busy that it can take two hours or more to cover the distance, but for some reason we were blessed with light traffic and good weather.
The convention kicked off today (Friday) with all the usual pleasures of meeting and greeting friends whom we hadn't seen for a year or two. It looks like I'm not alone in my medical woes, as several people I'd hoped to see here have begged off while they recover from their own troubles. Funny how that seems to happen more and more often as we get older...
I'm taking it easy, being gentle with myself, and wearing a back brace while walking around, to make sure I don't overstress the damaged areas of my spine. It's not comfortable, particularly if one goes outside into midsummer humidity and heat, but it's better than the alternative!
So far, plans are to leave Sunday afternoon and get home late on Monday. That may change depending on Alma's commitments, but we'll see. Meanwhile, please keep the prayers for safety (traveling and otherwise) coming.
Peter
