Dallas = visit friends and family


Gerald & Mrs. Harless of Plano,TX were a delight to reconnect with. Gerald is a Corrosion Engineer and oversaw corrosion installations for the AirForce in the 1980s and is now retired but sharp as a tack. Gerald designed corrosion installations for Mike.

My X sister-in-law Kathie and I can pick up just where we left off, so even though not officially related, we're still friends. She is one of the 8000 that EDS laid off a year ago. HP bought out EDS but has hired back few former employees. She and David were going to get married around Thanksgiving but he got a brain tumor and is doing radiation and chemo. He looked good- hair growing back; he and Mike are about the same size. She is a gifted interior designer and can rewrite techno goop into consumer lingo so has marketable skills so hope jobs materialize.

Running late, we met my brother Clayton and his new love Priscilla at her beautiful home. She is a tall willowy mother that bubbles with merriment. She has two kids, both in college that are the same age as Justin & Lauren except sex reversed. We had dinner at a Mexican restaurant and got home about midnight - At least traffic light. Only one wrong turn. A FUN day.
