On the East Coast

We're in Connecticut today, having flown all day yesterday. We're staying at a nice B&B, called the Watson House: built in the 1700's.

We have 3 things scheduled here in the area this week: a meeting with a pastor in East Hartford today, tomorrow we're cooking our African stew at a church in Philadelphia, and then Thursday we are tentatively scheduled to have lunch with a pastor in Springfield, VA. Chuck had e-mailed the pastor (today's lunch meeting) before we left Sunday, and when we finally got online today, we had an e-mail from him cancelling that meeting! AAAAAACK.

But then, Chuck read me his explanation--he had experienced a possible TIA last Wednesday: I think that stands for transient ischemic attack, basically a mini-stroke. He had gone to the ER at the time, but he had to schedule a follow-up with his own doctor. He suggested we meet for breakfast today instead; but we had a hard time getting online this morning and didn't even SEE the e-mail till about 10:00. We couldn't reach him by phone at first, but we did finally talk and he told us we were close to the church and to come on over before his doctor's appt. So that's what we did.
