Boulder to Chicago

Marianne dropped me off at the bus stop, and I took the bus to the airport. I arrived in plenty of time, so got my exercise power walking in the Denver airport. On the flight, I sat next to a young man who was in a family business of buying and selling semi-truck tractors. I asked him lots of questions, and learned a lot.

In Indianapolis, I went through their new airport terminal for the first time. Very modern, kind of like the Denver airport, with high ceilings in the main terminal, art hanging down. The Enterprise rent a car people offered to upgrade my car, but it was a little more than I wanted to pay, and then they lowered the amount, so I took the upgrade. The car is a Hundai Sonata, pretty nice, almost full sized. I enjoyed the XM Satellite radio as I drove up to Chicago.

I arrived at Ann and Rosemary's townhouse around 7 PM. Rosemary had just started a new job, and was so happy to be out of her previous situation. Ann seemed shorter and more bent over than I remembered, but looked pretty good for 94 years old! We talked on a range of issues, especially related to the church. I left after Ann started to nod off a bit. They were very happy to see me, and I them. It had been a few years.
