Good morning from Collegeville,

Weather wise, on a scale of 1 to 10, today would have to be a 10. Due to my restricted work schedule, the garden in St. Joe looks great. I can’t use the tiller, so I take the weeds out one at a time with a hoe that I paid $5 for at an auction in 1965. It was old and bent then. Oak tool handles will last a long time. I even planted some green peppers for Barby. I don’t like onions or peppers, but she does. I do have potato bugs on a couple of plants, but I pick them off. The dust that I purchased does not seem to work.

Health note: This has been an awful week for exhaustion and nausea, so I am going for a second opinion. Of course I can’t get in to see anyone until July 19th. With the help of my co-workers, I have been able to keep up with the renewals, but new business is suffering greatly. No news on the new hire. If you know of anyone that would like to work on the third floor of Wimmer Hall on the campus of St. John’s University, have them call me on my cell phone. The new hire gets the corner office with a view. Remember, using the computer is not one of my strengths right now. I excel at meeting for coffee at The Local Blend and talking on my cell phone.

The APHC show this week is live from the Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, Illinois. Special guests include mischievous country chanteuse Suzy Bogguss, Dean of the Diatonic Harmonica, Howard Levy and author storyteller Jack Zimmerman.

Tonight is the kick off of the “Sunset Stages at Saint Ben’s” sponsored by Dr. Gustavo Pena and D.J. Bitzan Jewelers. Tonight the performers are Monroe Crossing beginning at 7:30. Look for the Darnall Amphitheater on campus of the College of Saint Benedict.
