My dad is now off many of the machines and tubes. The ICU staff had tilted the bed more upright and turned it toward the TV because he’s been awake for most of today. He’d nod off for a few minutes every 30 minutes or so, but it’s leaps and bounds ahead of where he was yesterday. The doctor’s are talking about moving him to long-term care soon. And while I’m not thrilled about the idea of him having to stay in the hospital in “long-term” care, I know this means that they feel he’s stable. His color is good, and I hate to say this, but he hasn’t looked this healthy in a long time.
Things are going well enough that my mom told me yesterday that Cindy and I should still go to Seattle…and she meant it, so we’ll be off to the Pacific Northwest one week from today.
Pete, you better have a drink ready for me. A big one. I’m going to need it.

We are really glad your dad is improving! Have a great time in Seattle and when you get back Daniel and I will buy you a pitcher Bellini.
speaking of drinks, do you two prefer red or white wine?
Pete made up a drink called the Naked Caterpillar. One or two of those should knock you on your butt.
And *that’s* when we’ll invite some of our cool Seattle friends over for you to meet, too. The NC is a big hit among those in the know *nods*.
We likes the reds.
