Skip, Skip, Skip

A visiting cormorant touched down for a brief rest and then left.  An uneventful moment except it was fun watching him skip along the water on take-off. 

I had a visit with my ever-delightful orthopedic hand specialist today to discuss returning my right hand to some degree of functionality.  He's all ready to go so all I have to do is schedule the surgery.  I think I'll shoot for mid-May.  My son is coming to visit and I'd prefer to be two-handed for the occasion so we can take on a couple of projects.  I'm going to be looking into moving early next year or maybe in the fall this year.  My apartment rent is now slightly over half my income and the property managers seem to be bent on raising it even higher.  Rents in this area of Washington are terribly high so it's time to start looking even though I don't relish the idea of moving.  I'd like my son's clear-headed take on the issue and help evaluating my options.  It seems change doesn't get any easier with age.  Not sure anything does.
