BUCKET LIST
Yesterday I, my wife and our two daughters took a three-hour trip to the Zoo, meeting Okapi and Giraffes. I remained in my wheelchair the entire time.
After we returned home, I spent two hours on supplemental oxygen. I then spent two separate sessions on supplemental oxygen lasting much of the night. Today I have been limited largely to unceasing coughing and disabling head pain.
It is time to make a bucket list.
First item: Memorialize as much as I can about the business of manufacturing, because so much of it has been lost. Most of the country does not remember when we manufactured instead of just sending it aboard to "save money."
Wishing you ease and improved health, sending much appreciation for what our acquaintanceship has already given me.
