Note: Yes, it’s Thursday, not Wednesday, the usual day for my weekly update. Yesterday was one of those days where nothing went right, from showing up at the Subaru dealer where they didn’t have my appointment on the books to getting lost on the way home.

My friends Jack and Lee have lived near there for decades (I know, we’re all really old people when you get right down…
