Day 22 - Part 2

I started up the car from my room and went down to finish clearing off the windshield.  When I put the car into low, the wheels spin - I wasn't moving.  I walked carefully up the stairs beside the driveway and fetched a dirt shovel from the garage that Paula had left for me for just that reason.  It took three attempts and about 20 minutes before I was able to free the car. The roads were a bit more hazardous than the day before as the snow had frozen over night, but I was able to carefully negotiate the roads and arrived early at DFC. The gal at the front desk called Duke University and found that the Chapel was open.  After a very quick breakfast, I drove a friend to the chapel.  Not surprising, the choir was quite diminished, about 20 or so.  Even so the music was wonderful.  They sung Ubi Caritas as the opening introit from the steps.  Today I sat half-way back so I got the full effect of the reverberations of their voices as that rolled down the roof.  The rest of the music was changed due to the numbers singing, so I can't report on what else was sung.

After lunch and more tearful farewells (Sudie, we may be having some guests visiting this summer), I only had time for 30 minutes on the Nu-step as they closed the gym at 2:30. As I was driving home I decided to go to the movies, so I asked Paula where the nearest theater was, I l;looked it up and decided to see "Extraordinary Measures." One reason was because one of the women who were here is the grand-daughter of the doctor who worked on the Pompe vaccine which the movie is about.  A wonderful heartwarming one, if you haven't seen it.

I'm listening to the Pro-bowl and will watch it as soon as I publish this.
