Update on Tom

Tom had a checkup with his radiologist in Hyannis.  (Cape Air does not flying to Hyannis at this time of year so Tom took the fast ferry.  Two passengers going over, 4 coming back.  The ferry to Nantucket was full though and Tom said there were more mink coats getting on than you would see in more than a year here.)

The radiologist says Tom is heal right on schedule and he ought to over the effects of the radiation in another couple of weeks. Tom thinks he is about 80% back to normal.  We go to Boston next week so the dentist can take impressions for a new, improved dental appliance that will be lighter in weight and have back teeth. Everyone hopes it will make eating a little easier.

I've been sorting books at the library - part of the ongoing work to get ready for the booksale.  Yesterday was spent looking up prices of possibly rare books.  I found a Louisa M. Alcott first edition of an obscure work in bad but not impossible shape, and something about American geography with no title and the first couple of pages missing and in bad shape from probably around 1798.  Who knows what these are worth, if anything.
