I am working through the logistics for being in Houston for two weeks. So far, we have plane tickets for all of us. Bill and I have rooms for when we get there. I found a cool B&B not far from the hospital for when I'm released and BDau helps me re-locate from hospital back to wide, wide world. Still working on the 5 nights with Bill and Ben that will (am I really saying this) constitute our winter break vacation. I'm hoping to get a little cabin in Seabrook, which is east of Houston on the Bay, and close to NASA. The NASA site is amazing -- visiting Mission Control, and the training center, etc. is like going to Disney Land. The 5 hour tour is $90 and limited to 12 guests. Bill and Ben can go have a ball looking at all the old and new tech. Seabrook also has a marina, kayaking, birding (not that we do that, but the fact that every website talks about it suggests that the place is at least somewhat natural) with a nearby wildlife refuge. There's 10 miles of bike trails (Bill can do 10 loops). I'm hoping we can make it a decent trip for them, while I convalesce.
I saw two friends today, neither of whom I'd seen for a year, both of whom offered words of comfort and sympathy. I'm so lucky.
