Sunday February 17

Four or five to start the hour, nine of us at the end. We talked about health, particularly high cholesterol and statin drugs and arthritis. Our topics reflect our age? Three dogs visited us, though only two were there simultaneously.

Saturday February 16

Four, five, six of us through the vigil. The hour was quiet and uneventful.

Friday February 15

Three at 5:00PM, eight at the end of the hour. We talked about riding a bicycle safely in Corvallis.

Thursday February 14

Valentine's Day. One person at the start of the hour; two or three arrived later, with three of us at 6:00PM. We wondered, is red licorice really licorice? or is all licorice black?

Wednesday February 13

Four or five of us throughout the hour. We talked about rights of way and what to do when your neighbor builds a fence on your lot. :)

Tuesday February 12

Mardi Gras Tuesday. Only one person remembered to come in costume. :) Four of us at 5:00PM, eight at the end of the hour. We talked about our health and our gardens.

Monday February 11

The vigil's trademark van did not make it. Still, four or five held signs at the start of the hour, nine when the clock chimed six. The hour ended with a light rain, enough for some of us to unfurl an umbrella.
