as Christmas readiness is the order of the day.
Went to a surprise 65th Birthday Party for John Browne, Jr. He is our dear friend and a long time “rabbi” for me at CIC/CNA. John has been in a battle with a terrible cancer and has undergone a liver transplant at the Mayo Clinic. John and his wife Pat are a true inspiration in their fight. John’s active in raising awareness for the need for more transplant donors. I’m carrying such a card as a result of his example. Thanks, John.
John and his grandson Alex.
Sylvia Levine, John and myself at the Pennsauken Country Club Saturday.
Later we went to a cocktail party at the Hordt’s with Dave and Cheryl.
Ready for the northeaster Saturday morning.
Merganser at the head of the Glimerglass this morning.
Suzanne at the end of another faithful season.
The Lucas H15 waiting her turn in the “Salon” for an extreme makeover. Saw her during a turn around the yard. Raw and cool out though not cold. Needless to say the thought of a warm cabin and water ready for tea made it all bearable.
Calm after the storm.
Tea at the steam; just about ready for a dollop or three of Tortola’s finest.
There’s Carl. My old friend, Carl Danish; certified wooden-boat-nut and ageless longboarder.
Decorated our Christmas tree this afternoon, with a slow fire perking along as the wind’s come up from the NNW and the temperature’s dropping.
See you all soon.
