Dear TeamToddTBI,

I completed virtual flights: “https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MRDAFzIIRJ5Ok6Y20tsdU38td0Wh5u9A/view?usp=sharing” I had two bad landings: one on a flight from KWVI to O22 and a second bad landing on a short flight (15 nautical miles) from KFOT to KEKA.

I have a backup Pi 5 in case anything happens to the one I have; I like flying my bike that much. I would like to enable someone else to complete flights as I do so I hope I can loan my backup Pi out. I want to see if someone else becomes addicted like me.

Amish Breakfast Casserole this morning: I was good in church.

This week, something interesting, (my definition of interesting) happened in Grand Sumo: The gyoji halted match to adjust the mawashi of both rikishi. Try not to imagine the scene if the gyoji had not acted!

Last week, I attended the wake for Dad’s good friend, Joe Burns. At the wake, I also saw Fr. Stuart who taught a religious education class my senior year of high school. I imagine he enjoyed remembering the past as much as I do. Fr. Stuart is a Canon Lawyer; I may need to get a marriage annulled someday. I will keep in touch with him. 

My weekly update is roughed out Saturday, and finalized by early on Sunday: that is why I did not include much about the wake in previous update. I am more mentally fit in the morning.

I did not watch the Hokie football victory over Wofford. Coach Fry was fired earlier this week; I am not a big fan of dramatic mid-season changes.

My parents celebrated their 55^th wedding anniversary on Friday.

St. Luigi, thank you for your intercession. St. Carlo Acutis, pray for me.

Hello, TeamTodd, Thanks for staying with us.

All is well here. We are enjoying lovely late summer, cooler temperatures.

As you may suspect, Todd is keeping himself busy. He is always looking for ways to be helpful around the house and it seems every day he surprises me with taking on an additional task. I am grateful for his help and his cheerful attitude. Todd just might be a “caregiver” in training. 

Many thanks for being there for Todd and US!
