July 15

Tomorrow is fly day, the day before Friday and I am so excited about going home tomorrow that I have butterflies in my stomach. We have the bags packed and are ready to bolt. Judy had a good day. She actually walked down to the nearest coffee shop for a mocha. As mentioned in an earlier blog, the activity that triggers her cough is talking. Of course, this doesn't stop her from talking. Judy has been getting plenty of rest and has been comfortable enough to sleep most of the night. Today, I had a pleasant surprise. My old buddy from high school, Brian Hartzell, met me for a beverage. He flies for Air Canada and was in Vancouver for the day. This evening, Judy's nephew, Justin, met me for another megawalk to Granville Island and the seawall. Earlier today, I biked around False Creek and proceeded past Kitsalano to Jericho Point. Another milestone today: The Diamond Judy Blog reached 16000 hits. Hopefully, the next blog entry will be entered in Saskatoon. Good Night.
