From February 2, 2019

My nine days of silence has ended. Of course, I did talk a little to my neighbors, workers at the bank and post office, and there were a few phone calls to friends, but for the most part I spent my time alone. The only break in my solitary routine was the few hours spent with Jim Flickinger on the alligator excursion. I could have used a few more days of stillness and silence, but I am eager to get back to the kids.
