Early Bird

Up at five this morning for a shower, coffee and a chocolate doughnut while Glenda did the laundry. At breakfast I enjoyed smoked salmon Eggs Benedict and the company of Clancy and Martha from Myrtle Beach. He designed some of the computer software we used when I was in the Army a lifetime ago.
