We're coming up on our fourth month at the Perch. We've begun turning new acquaintances into fast friends, and we're happy to be settled. Judy has maintained a constant schedule of workout activities. I've joined a men's kibitz on Wednesdays as well as a standing cribbage game with the guys every Wednesday afternoon. We've stopped chasing our food allowance, and have even cooked our own dinner a few times, although I must say, it's pretty easy to get used to being served. The food itself is very good, and the service continues to improve. We're still a little disappointed in the Whitworth connection, mostly that auditing a class costs $300/credit. We had hoped it would be free. Otherwise, Whitworth is giving us free access to games, their pool, and other large group events on campus, so there is an attempt at collaboration. I'm hoping things improve as time moves along. Meanwhile, Judy and I went to our first Whitworth football game, which buzzed with college energy that was fun to envelop ourselves in. On the home front, we've organized a hallway party for next week with the goal of introducing neighbors on the fourth floor north. We're hoping to open some doors, hear new stories, and generally provide a sense of propinquity, which will increase life's goodness, especially today.
Judy's new stressless chair arrived. The Perch is now completely furnished.
