Not so sure about travel plans to NOLA. The old man's habit of consuming vast quantities of fine wine is catching up with him. Minor stroke yesterday. Can't walk. (They live in a two story, with all the bedrooms up a loooong stairway.) Bile in the urine indicates the liver not doing so good. With retirement looming ahead of him in a month or so, he has no real plans. The only hobby appears to be Chardonnay for breakfast, Pinot for lunch and Bordeaux for dinner. Chronic pain in his back and knees reduces his mobility in the best of times.

I may pop into Houston for a day or two, kinda blowing my vacation time for November. (Big deadlines at the end of the month.) His old man is dropping into Houston for a couple of days at the middle of November, so I may be able to take care of two obligations at once.

I'd rather not deal with those dysfunctional people, but probably ought to.
