Will be a long day for Terry (and Hilda) today; they're driving to Colorado Springs, a 3-hour (?) drive, to pick up Karen and Mark at the airport.  Since Terry's hoping to get out of here by 9:00, that means waking up Hilda early!  And speaking of early, Karen and Mark needed to be up by 4:30 am NY time (2:30 am Colorado time!) to make their flight - so they are "likely" <g> to be exhausted by the time they arrive here in the late afternoon.

Cheryl rolled in yesterday to be on Neil duty, which frees me up to go over to Elinor & Richard's (saving Terry that chore on their way out this morning) to feed/visit with Q while Elinor & Richard are on a 3-day camping trip.  Brownie gets to go along also, so Q could have an unexpectedly exciting morning!
