Runaround

This morning we did our laundry, walking while the clothes were in the washer and again while they were drying. This afternoon Ken had a doctor's appointment. We were running a little late, so we hurriedly packed some sandwiches and headed to Mission. When we got there, Ken found out that Dr. George was at the Edinburgh office today, so we turned around and drove north. Rosie misplaced the office, so we had to call and ask for directions (so much for GPS technology!).

Tonight we met some friends at the old McAllen Convention Center to attend the opening concert in the McAllen Community Concert series. We don't have tickets, but John and Sandy Walenter aren't in the Valley yet, so we got to use their tickets. The featured group tonight was the Water Coolers. They bill themselves as "The comedy group that sings."

They were funny, with some on-target satire about corporate life, and their singing was enjoyable. However, their performance didn't seem to fit with others in the concert series. In fact, it didn't seem to be a concert. Besides, most of the audience aren't part of the corporate world they were lampooning. Some bits hit home with the audience (air travel, dealing with computer help lines, and such).

The best part of the evening was getting hugs from our friends we haven't seen in months. It's good to be home.

The good news about Ken's doctor visit is that the bump on the back of his hand isn't melanoma (whew!). Instead it's a cyst on a hair follicle, and Dr. George froze it. Ken is also getting a referral to a gastroenterologist for follow-up on his acid reflux problems.
