Where I’ve Been, Where I Am
I’ve been to Vail, CO, speaking at the Vail Mountain School last Friday –beautiful place, beautiful school, beautiful people. I will post again about that visit, hopefully tomorrow.
Interspersed with such a great trip (except for travel delays both ways and other indignities), my dearest dog Desi has gone from racing through the yard three weeks ago to not being able to walk at all. She can walk a little now, thanks to steroids, but she has a tumor of the spinal cord. She was supposed to have surgery this week but it’s been postponed until next week. That’s probably just as well because our son (we got the dog for him when he was 11) is coming home Friday and bringing his girlfriend, Ania, another of Desi’s favorite people. Coping with Desi’s day-to-day problems has taken up time. However, her absolutely indomitable spirit is completely inspiring. The worst was having her away from us for a few days. Right now, she’s lying in my office and I feel so much better having her here.
It’s hot here - HOT-HOT-HOT as Humphrey would say, but the office is cool.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about my hosts at Vail Mountain School but I will give more details in the next post.
It was so lovely to see fall color!
