Mom: many thanks especially to Paula for staying a week with Mom and helping her with her daily nutrition and physical therapy requirements, but also David and John. Paula left yesterday with a sore throat which we hope heals quickly. Mom seems to making progress, although it is slow. She will be moving to a new apartment which is configured exactly as her current one, because Meadow Lakes is tearing down her building and two others because of pervasive mold contamination. The move should take place just about any time because the new apartment is empty. All of you grandchildren, a get well card and maybe a phone call would help Mom to speed up her getting well. She sees her pulmonologist again this week.
John stopped by on Saturday to watch the Yale football and soccer games on a somewhat chilly but glorious fall afternoon, exactly the kind of day you envision for a football game. While Princeton lost both games, there is hope for the future as the football team has some very promising freshman – one of them set an Ivy record for rushing for 1,000 yards in his first year.
Want to know how much admired is our family name? I have a case in Federal court before a judge named Joseph A. Dickson. He announced in the first hearing that he knows he's not related to me because his father changed the family name from Digovich.
I have recently discovered a lovely podcast called The Writer's Almanac:
writersalmanac.publicradio.org/
It's read by Garrison Keillor seven days a week, about five minutes or so; he tells a story or two about those writers whose birthday it is, then reads a poem which is posted on the website. I listen every morning.

We hear The Writer's Almanac on NPR every morning! And thanks for all this. I wrote and posted my entry before I saw that you had covered a lot of the same stuff.
