May 29^th.  Henry is hanging in there.  Some days are better than others.  Our Ford Transit Van got built.  Now it’s in a holding pen waiting for a train ticket to Houston or San Antonio.  After the train ride, it will get a truck ride to our dealer.  Mid-June is still the target date for delivery to us.  Christie, Kyle and Cameron made a visit to Colorado.  Kyle ran in the first wave of the Bolder Boulder 10K and finished sub-forty minutes, achieving his goal.  He collected his special shirt then circled back to the start, found Cameron, Conner, and some of Conner’s friends who were starting much farther back, and ran it again with them.  Becky, Brian, and Christie started yet further back and walked it.  The Bolder Boulder is a big event, 47,000 participants.  They start in waves based on expected finish time to avoid absolute chaos.  When I ran it 44 years ago, there were so few people that we all started at once and Judy rode next to me on a bicycle, and we didn’t get in anybody’s way.  I went to Austin last week to check out a van conversion shop to see if we could get a sofa/bed and roof vent installed when it’s time.  I liked them.  We might be able to get just what we want.  It’s hot here.  Thunderstorms at night.  Got some very large marble size hail once.  Jesse still has a brown face.
