At the game

Posted on 2026-09-18 by Holly

After spending the morning sorting out all the projects for my upcoming trip and trying to sort through whether or not I now needed a visa for French Polynesia (free money for them as I am not planning on leaving the ship in those ports, we left for SF and tonights Valkyries Game.

We received our hats (I have avoided wearing a hat since I retired unless there is absolutely no choice, but hey, it is easier to wear it than hang on to it…. Anyway, the first quarter was close, the second not so much and it was steady after that. Trading txts with a friend – the Lynx lost their third straight game (no clue what is up with them) and I would have preferred a different outcome.

there is one more home game – tomorrow, then I am done for the season. Even tho there are playoffs -I sail on Saturday.

and returning home, there was the velcro cat just waiting for me. Do you think he can sense that I am abandoning him – oops, leaving for travel – and will be gone at the end of the week?

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
