Report of 24 Nov 2024

 Good evening!

I have just finished a swim and eaten dinner, and a healthy feeling permeates me.  Good time to blog.

We are well and hope the same with you.  Scott is - as we speak - speaking to our health insurance rep about renewing our health insurance.  It's good to have this insurance, isn't it.  

We returned to India on 8 Nov, and the prepaid taxi service at the airport provided us a cab with an able and taciturn driver.  He ate betel nut on the way home; it helps curb hunger.  I had a few treats with me from the plane - expensive by Indian standards: cashews and some chocolate.  There was no need for me to eat them and so, I shared.  I love doing this - the drivers are consistently appreciative/amazed and who is to say that they cannot get some such treats, eh.  

We went to get blood work done and then to the Banyan.  As always, it rejuvenates my spirit and restores balance to be at the B.  Last week, we managed to get train tickets and went to Karnataka, my mother's home state, to see a host of relatives.  All - including us - are aging, some are unable to travel and it was good for us to see them.  Some are of ill health and I gave what advice would be received.  We came back from Kodagu, my mother's home district, to Bangalore and saw my sister-in-law, her family and my niece who is studying there.  That was a rollicking good time.  Next Gen is so full of good sense and fun and affection.  

We used to go busting down to Madurai soon after arrival in India.  That has now changed after both my parents have passed away.  Things are changing.  

We hope all of you are well.

Unw -
