Weekly
Update 11/13/2016
I
will not comment on the election.
The
week for me was about Medicare. I had been made aware that the
coverage I have through the City of Rochester and the NYS retirement
system might not be the best for me. I asked friends for advice, I
went to insurance company sales talks, I got advice through the
counselor at the Senior Center. And I finally made the decision to
change to a plan that is better suited to my needs, which are few. I
may have made a mistake, but at least I will no longer pay $100 a
month for coverage I don't use, so there's that. And I'm quite proud
of myself. For most of my life, someone else has made these decisions
for me – in fact, the NYS retirement system pretty much made the
decision for me with the coverage I have. But I made this choice
myself, and it feels good to take control for what I think is best.
Since
getting back into my normal routine after the hurricane, and then
Europe, I attended a interesting lecture on Monday this week. As
part of the DH Fall Lecture Series, I had an opportunity to hear Dr
LeeAnn Caldwell speak on Women in the Early 19th Century.
I enjoyed that very much, especially as we were on the eve of perhaps
having the first woman president.
Donna
and I went to the St John's Episcopal Church Bazaar on Wednesday. I
look forward to this every year because they make the best chili. We
had lunch there, with neighbors John and Dave. I didn't even bid on
anything at the silent auction, as it was mostly works of art, but I
did buy two used books.
On
Saturday, I walked to the clubhouse because there was to be a
Neighborhood Garage Sale at MP. I don't need any more STUFF, but as
so often happens I did discover that I needed a pizza stone (and
another book). Then I walked across the street to the Farmer's
Market that's held every Saturday at the school. There was more
baked goods there than fresh produce, and I find that annoying. I
didn't buy anything there.

In
the afternoon, I went to the SCT. I haven't been there in quite a
while, but I was not disappointed with the performance of The Legend
of Sleepy Hollow. The cast was entirely children and young adults,
and they all did a wonderful job with the musical. Since the Bills
played last Monday night (and I won't say anything about that
either), and had a bye week this Sunday, I didn't need to go to
Coach's again this week. I sat home to watch other games and didn't
even stick my nose out the door.

I remember that last year Gerry and I were visiting and we attended the St John's Episcopal Church Bazaar with you - how fast a year has gone by!
