Iron Man

I gave blood this morning. My hemoglobin was 14.1, in the high average range. Go figure, that's why I could breathe normally at 14,000 feet. I figured I was an excellent candidate to give blood with all my extra red blood cells floating around, someone should benefit from it! The Blood Mobile was at the girls' high school, there was a young lady beside me who passed out while giving her pint. I was impressed with the efficiency of the staff reviving her. Afterward, I suggested she not try to donate for at least 5 years...she heartily agreed! :-)

Before giving blood, I showed up 24 hours early for my eye appointment. I really need to get a busier schedule! Then I won't do things like that. Thankfully they took me anyway so I'm happy to announce that my post-Lasik eyes are doing great.

This afternoon, I went into Fort Walton Beach and picked up a textbook from a high school there that Lisette needs to stay up to date with her school in La Paz. On the way home I stopped at WalMart and bought some groceries along with "Iron Man". When I picked up Jake, he was slightly less than insanely excited to find out we had it.

So you can imagine what's playing on our TV right now. Lisette is watching it too. Nicole chose "That 70s Show" instead.

John received an email with news that a Hurlburt airman had lost his leg this weekend in a motorcycle accident. I contacted a friend of his and he's going to arrange for me to meet with the family. Prayers please!

No other news about Bolivia. There were some talks scheduled for today...
