L’automne s’installe avec tout doucement, le froid, et des bonnes nouvelles !
It’s cold out there now, isn’t it. I have recently returned from the Mayo Clinic, where I underwent my annual cancer scans – a process my oncologist informs me will occur yearly, most likely, for the rest of my life. I’ve got it down to a fairly fast 2-3 day trip – arrive off the evening flight, head to the hotel and get settled in. The next morning, a blood test, an X-ray and an MRI. The second morning, a meeting with my urologist, and a mid-day flight back to Chicago.
In other news, I have purchased a new car – a 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV in metallic black. I’m quite fond of it so far, and it only came with about 7,500 miles on it, so it’s effectively brand new. I didn’t realize the extent to which my old car was beating me half to death until I got one that still has half-decent shocks on it. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
As a little treat to ourselves, we will be taking a weekend in Lake Geneva next weekend to enjoy the Christmas parade and light shows up there. It’ll be the first proper proving ground test of the new car, before I take it down to see a buddy in Fort Wayne next month (well, I may still fly, I’m not sure).
