On a typical day in this household, we lack scheduled activities (say: retirees). Today, we acted! We early voted, no small thing because there was a long slate of offices needing consideration, although many were unopposed, incumbent judges 🙁.
The second activity was I went to an outdoor meeting of BookClub. The evening sky was fabulous from the poolhouse (autocorrected temporarily to poorhouse 🤣). We talked about “The Women” by Kristin Hannah, a novel about American women nurses in Vietnam in the late 60s. We had a retired nurse from slightly earlier among us, and so a fascinating discussion. She was more in and near Saigon than Hannah’s nurses, so the nursing was slightly different, but still: war. Excellent read.
