John Irving and Novella Carpenter on Wednesday’s show

Last day








Leaving today for home. Been away a week. Nice. Last night was dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and a Dive-in movie (Old Dogs). The best appetizers at the CF: Avocado eggrolls and Firecracker Salmon rolls. We opted out of the cheesecake, though we ogled the menu. Going away is better than a good rest. Changing the atmosphere. Having a chance to miss what you have.
