John and I started out on our morning walk together, but we didn't get too far down the road before his knee started bothering him and he decided to head back home while I continued on by myself.  His right knee has been stiff for about a week so he has been icing it several times a day which seems to help.

Right after breakfast, John left to take Ralph to his doctor's appointment.  The good news is that he has a severe case of bronchitis and not pneumonia.  The doctor felt he had made enough improvement over the past 48 hours that he didn't need hospitalization and could remain at home, rest, and take his meds.

While John was gone, I spent some time on the phone with Direct TV trying to find out why the service technician didn't come this morning and install our new DVR.  It seems they had an incorrect phone number and couldn't get a hold of us.  After much back and forth, we have settled on next Tuesday afternoon for installation.  

Gene and Jeanne Bevins invited a group of us over to their place for happy hour this afternoon.  About 20 folks showed up and brought snacks to share.  I made a batch of brownies and didn't have a single one left to bring home.  The rich chocolate was a big hit.

This evening I went to bingo with a couple of the gals.  We didn't win anything, but had a great time.  John stayed home, iced his knee, and watched some college basketball.
