Once again, a typical Saturday. I did a couple of things that were different. One was that this morning I called my college friend in the east coast to wish him a Happy Birthday. We talked for a little more than a half hour. I was thankful I got a hold of him. He can be very hard to reach. We have been friends and stayed in contact with each other for almost 40 years. There has never been a hassle with him in all of that time.

Another thing I did different today than usual was to get a haircut. I get a haircut about three or four times in a year. It was great that this time I got served right away.

My friend here has had company pretty much all day, so he and I didn't get together. That was too bad. I was hoping that we could. It's amazing to me that he's retired and yet he seems to have a lot going on Saturdays.
