Dear TeamToddTBI,

Even more virtual flights: “https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ImUBKnaJmuRcVR2b5WecZ6_lXh4gWysi/view?usp=drive_link” I enjoy the physical and mental challenge. I wish someone would join me in my addiction.

My favorite sister spent Saturday night with us before she flew to California for a week of touring Palm Springs. Libby is accompanied by a tour group.

My favorite sister brought home a piece of tuna for me. The tuna was not line caught by my favorite sister. :( It came from the fish place she is privileged to live close by.

I captured the stream of characters (it’s in reverse IBM form) that I transform into a joystick throttle position using bluetoothctl. Bluetoothctl is not depreicated like gatttool. Now I need to figure how to get the character stream into a program that transforms for the stream into a joystick throttle position.

I also completed a small bit a work on an epic autobiography I have begun to tell my story.

I had a status check from UNUM – I have not worked for pay. I was days away from suspension of my UNUM benefits. According to UNUM, they tried to contact me in early October, I put on my google calendar when to reach out to UNUM next year to avoid any disruption to my benefits. I think it would be simpler to give them a copy of my taxes.

I was good in church Saturday night. I enjoyed a breakfast casserole Sunday morning.

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

Hello TeamTodd. It has been a busy week. As Todd mentioned, UNUM sent Todd a snail mail letter saying they tried contacting him by phone twice… NO! We did NOT get a phone call. There was never a message left AND our call log did not indicate a call from UNUM. A bit distressing because we abide by the rules. Todd attempted to call the contact person 3 times after receiving the letter. FINALLY, Todd was able to talk with someone. Hopefully, we answered all the questions correctly. WHEW! This is the 2^nd year we have gotten a letter saying Todd is not responding. BUT! We assured her, TODD WILL CALL UNUM a year from today to “report in”.

Interesting… Todd has decided to write his story. He has made contact with my cousin, Lisa, who is also a writer. She is willing to take this task on as an advisor. Todd wants to write his story like Homer’s Odyssey… Only Todd could come up with some comparisons to Homer.

BUT! TEAMTODD, You have supported Todd through almost 11 years! Surely, you are “fist bumping”… YES! YES! “Go for it Todd”!.. This is such a Toddster way of telling his story… Like Homer and the Odyssey . STAY TUNED!

As Todd’s primary “caregiver” and Todd’s mother, knowing Todd better than anyone, I think this latest adventure that Todd is taking on is a GREAT sign of Todd’s continuing recovery. AND how fortunate we are to have Lisa on board to work with Todd .

It was nice to have Libby home with us, even for just 24 hours. We took Libby to the Metro early this morning to fly out of National to meet up with a tour group in Palm Springs. It’s always a party when the 4 of us are together. We are grateful for that.

Thank you, TEAMTODD for staying with us. We are looking forward to the ScareCrow Classic, Nov. 8. Todd has the biggest team! GO TEAMTODD!
