     In Great Bend, Kansas I sang in the Alzheimer's Section at one of the nursing homes. One of the rare times I've had to stop singing and walk over to some staff members to ask them to tone down their loud talking which was causing a distraction for the residents.

With electric hookups and only ten dollars a night, I spent this warm day going for walks and doing some writing.

And so begins another week.
