What's it all about, Alfie?

This morning they dropped off the sample container for the Water Testing that Naperville is doing once a year. It's completely voluntary, and funded by the Town so that those of us that live in very old homes can be assured that the lead and other toxins in the water supply are will within the EPA limits.

I think it's been happening for about three years now, and I sign up for it each year because all I have to do is to take the sample, and then sit it on my doorstep, and I get a letter in a few weeks with the results of the tests. They have always been far below any threat levels of the EPA, so I'm not concerned, but I'll always accept a free environment test to make sure things are safe in my environment.

I do love this Town. 🙂

Today I traveled to Indy to have a nice get-together with my siblings and our cousin Murry, on our Dad's side of the family. He's my age, and has spent almost all his adult life in Finance - running a Hedge Fund for a while before he rolled it up in 2022. He's now in Miami and doing a lot of traveling, and this stop in Indy was part of his "Touch Base with Family 2023" Tour.

A few months ago, I reached out to Murry and added him to my Sunday Messages list, where I send a little message about the family and how we're doing, and it's nothing special, but it keeps us in touch. I've been doing this with family and friends for a few years, and it's something I really feel is important.

Well... Murry is doing fine, and everyone had a good time. I really think this is good - the reconnections. Someday soon, there will be fewer of us...
