Well, I'm almost to WRTC. Which is good considering that at one point Sunday 
night I did not know if I'd be here at all.

Last Friday we got a call from the assisted living place where my mother 
lives, that she had fallen and been taken to the emergency room. She ended 
up diagnosed with a fractured pelvis. I saw her on Saturday and she was 
doing OK for her situation. But then on Sunday various things started 
happening, ending with a call from the hospital at 10:30pm that the staff 
hospitalist thought she needed emergency surgery to check out what was going 
on. The surgeon was indeed called in, but after examining her and her files 
decided it was best not to operate. But for the several hours I could see 
myself spending the weekend hanging around a hospital or worse.

Fortunately she is doing better, the doctors have settled on a wait and 
watch approach to the complicating issues, and my sister from Florida flew 
up and is doing the local family help. Wanting to see her before we left 
Sharon, we got a much later start of our trip to NJ on Monday (where our 
daughter and grandson live), and spent? extra time there this morning before 
leaving to get Linda to her cousin's place on Cape Cod where she will be 
spending the week. I'm there tonight, and will be off to WRTC land in the 
morning.

Thanks to all for the good wishes. And thanks to all of you that supported 
WRTC to make it able to do all this. Solar conditions look great, the 
weather forecasts sound ideal, and we'll be looking for all of you in the 
pileups, and hope to work you many times, along with all those infinite 
piles of Europeans that one has to endure from W1.

73,

Jim? K8MR
