Kent had a very nice weekend in Heber. Talked with a big game hunter from Alaska… very interesting guy. Happy that his Hawkeyes basketball team are in the top 15. Geoff… nothing exciting going on, just happy to be here. Larry looking forward to Andrea’s Induction ceremony later this evening. Had a very nice Valentine’s Day… went to the Esplanade Dine-in Theater. Corey celebrated V-day on Sunday. He and Patti went out to the Arboretum in Superior, but hit the Renaissance Fair traffic. Spent about two hours learning all about trees. Ben went to work yesterday as an Administrator for 4 surgery centers. As of today, the company has gone public and he is now Administrator over 11 hospitals and 43 surgery centers in 43 states. Wow! Karen had a great Valentine’s Day with Steve that included a night at the Ritz Carleton. Very thankful that her grandson, Jett, has recovered well from his emergency appendectomy last week. That’s it for this week!
