There was another Presidential Debate tonight, so great anticipation and excitement about that among the news anchors and journalists. As it happened I was out this evening, but I couldn't have seen it anyway, it was on a channel my basic tv package doesn't give me.
When I got back though I caught up with all the inquests on it, and it seems generally agreed to have been very successful, and a far cry from the debacle of the last one. And from what I have heard it seems that Rubio and Cruz gave the best performances, and they have been in the lead with Trump and Dr Carson for a while now. I think the forerunners are appearing and it won't be long now, I wouldn't have thought, for the no-hopers to drop out.
This evening Phyllis invited me to join her and her husband to a Volunteers Dinner they were going to, and kindly picked me up as well. VIP stands for Volunteers Impacting People, and it is something run out of the Senior Centre that Phyllis is involved in.
Phyllis received an award, I think it was a silver one. The Humanitarian Award went to a 96 year old, who looks younger than me, and does a tremendous amount raising money and sending care packages to the military. Old people here do seem a lot more active than at home, perhaps they've got more to keep them busy.
I've probably mentioned before that all 'dinners' here are called 'banquets', but you will see it was at 5.30, which to my English mind is more 'high tea', than dinner, but Phyllis has lived here for more than 50 years and I don't think she thought so. Anyway, I enjoyed the evening, it was very nice to go out, and I appreciated her asking me.
And we all got a little pressie....
I like these thermal mugs, I've got quite a few of them now, and all given to me.
