Homestead Report Number 55

This is Thomas R. Welch reporting to you again direct from the homestead on the south side of Atlanta, Ga.

Our friend Mike passed away and the funeral was yesterday.  Yun and I met him and his wife Chun Ja all the way back in 1972, when they came knocking on our apartment door seeking Korean companionship.  Yun and I had just come from Korea, and so had they.  Anyway, we all hit it off and remained in touch ever since.  Mike was a decent man and we loved him.  His wife, Chun Ja, is alone, but she has a good support structure around her and she will be find.

I've been playing with the Wii.  My favorite game is bowling and I'm not too bad on it.  My high game is 248, and I'm bowling consistently above the PRO level, but just barely.   The main thing is that I am burning some calories.  It's a little strenuous bowing frame after frame non-stop for an hour.  On the other hand it's a lot of fun.  I work at it for an hour a day, trying to move as though I really am bowling, and I get Yun has played a couple of times but I guess its not her thing as she mainly is my cheerleader.  She is trying very hard to encourage me so I don't lose interest.

Yun is having an allergic reaction to something.  I believe that it is due to her insisting on eating two different types of fish.  She loves it loves every time she eats it she has the same type of reaction.  I've urged her not to eat it but sooner or later she does anyway.  I bought her some benadryl today.   It helps her some, but also makes her sleepy.  If nothing else she got some good sleep today.

Sassy and Lady are both well.

More later (There is always more, later not so much)
