Here is a follow up to the email I sent yesterday. Donna has set up a meal train for Mike. It will be a long time until Mike can cook for himself, so no rush. All you need to do is click the link and sign up. I know Mike wants the company, so please reach out to him directly. More information attached. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C044BABA92FA64-49987994-meal -- Sheri

one of our members

03 Jun '24

Hello CVC, As many of you know, our member Mike Carey was in a bad cycling accident. He broke his hip and his collarbone. Mobility is a huge issue and Mike cannot get around yet. He has been in a chair or bed for over 3 weeks and is just now out of rehab. He welcomes visitors/a meal to share and well, all of that. He cannot cook, but does have someone there to heat meals. He would love a visit though, perhaps an Irish beer. (I am improvising here). He is up for company especially at dinner time. You can reach out to him at michaelcarey(a)roadrunner.com -- Sheri

Re: Watching: An absurd comedy special

Talking about those who think of themselves as innovators but are really just fools, the WSJ reports that the Trump campaign is talking to Musk about working in the administration if they win.
