A month goes by quickly.
It is the busy season. We held a fundraiser for the museum and raised $5,000. I bought tickets for the dinner and contributed items to the silent auction.
Matt, Mark, Jeffrey, Addison, Cathy, and Dan.
I had the vegetarian dinner, but I suspect there was lard in the tamales because I started to feel sick while driving home and soon afterwards threw up. But we raised $5,000, so that was great.
Robert and his flowers.
I also showed him how to make refrigerator magnets. I will be doing both craft activities for an event next weekend.

Matt and Homer. The bolo tie was made by my step-grandfather in the late 1960s.
I am assembling my altar for my All Souls Procession cocktail party. I taught Robert how to make the flowers and he helped out.

Magnets.
Gave a talk for AAHS. Giving another later this month on legal executions in Pima County. Went to the State Archives to do research and found a lot of useful data.
Little Miss Ruby is all grown up. She is getting better with going bathroom outside, other than some very occasional accidents. Also less chewing of things.

Today I got to visit with Christos, who was in town for a trunk show. He was the boyfriend of my roommate Les back in 1985-1986. I haven't seen him since the summer of 1986. Time goes by. It was really fun to see him and catch up.
Christos and Homer.
He said I hadn't changed, but I really have. I look older, balder, and fatter. I used to be so super skinny and I had a lot of very fine brown hair on my head. But that's what happens.
