Today was pretty quiet. I have found that each time I return from Alaska it seems to take me several days to acclimate...just bone tired and seem in need of endless sleep. I found myself returning to bed in the afternoon and taking a long nap and then going to bed early too, all after having gotten up late to begin with!
A friend, Rebecca Turk, called this afternoon asking if I would like some fresh dill. Rich and I both went over and harvested dill and other herbs, and just chatted for a couple of hours. It's fun to be with friends and I'm delighted to have the herbs to dry.
We went to dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant, Gallo Loco...the crazy rooster. The food is always wonderful and they service very quick. It was no exception tonight, except that I think every living soul in Oak Ridge must have been there.
Today and this evening the airways are filled with the stories of multiple terrorist attacks in Paris. Just today Obama had declared that ISIS was contained...how did he ever get elected??? So far the news is that there are about 140 killed and hundreds more injured. President Hollande of France has declared this an ISIS attack, and ISIS has claimed responsibility. So much for "the JV team". In the meantime I'm guessing that the college aged, self absorbed, "brats" protesting across the nation for free tuition, tuition forgiveness, race, and $15 per hour minimum wages will be angry at ISIS because they've been kicked off the front page! Oh my! This is going to be a long, long next few days!
