2026 April 18 RIC-NYC

 Starting this to keep Family up to date without endless texts that one relative despises. 

I’ve showed up early, I was at the station before the pick up time   Southeast Asian driver at best guess  only got slightly lost at WC. 5 out 5 stars.  

My bid for Business Class was accepted, so when the train was delayed by a car on the tracks at Main St  (Way to go RVA  although the 757 cars do the same thing with tunnels.) did not have to stay in line for a good seat.   



Yesterday, patient finished at 4:15, I sat down to sign a few things and when I looked up it was 4:48.  I raced out of the office, taking my stethoscope and head lamp with me.  64 was 64, got diverted off to Route 60 - Old Richmond Hwy - but getting on past the blockage in Bottoms Bridge it was clear sailing to RVA.  My older cousins went off to their cocktail party and I got to hang with my younger cousin.

We alternated between doing her puzzle and sorting and re-packing the car.  At 7:47 I realized I had forgotten my computer.  Driving back to Gloucester would have been 2.5-3 hours, woken up Lynda AND Gi, and I wasn't entirely sure it was at home and not in the office.  Can't get into the office after hours.

Luckily there is one Walmart open after 8PM on Friday - and it's the one near Westminister Canterbury.  My sainted cousin drove me out there (car is spending the week with cousin #2), despite what it said on the website - and on the manager's stock list, my first two choices were not available.  So this is what he found:

It was larger, heavier, and cheaper than the other options.  It works fine for what I need it for which is catching up on paperwork and surfing the net.  Learning a new oS is probably good for the brain.  Trying to decide if it is evil to return it, I'd have kept my first choice for sure, but this doesn't have a touch screen - both my work and home lap top do.  In the end it was relatively inexpensive and I could gift it to someone.

Getting ahead a little:
