April 27

Made a quick trip to the office to pick up a student file, got some groceries and dropped them off at the police station at the same time and picked up my headphones. Left a pink flamingo in Beth's chair and blueberries for Michael (who was there). Got my camera and monitor and docking station and teamug and got it all home and washed the car on the way. Listened to NPR on the way - THINK about successful aging. Good stuff.
