[Joe Haldeman]

Joe walked about a block with a walker and two lovely assistants.  An ol' high school buddy, Bill Forlines, came by with his wife Martha for a visit. Later in the day, Joe did some upper body exercises.  He was tired ( "Why is the gravity so strong on this planet?"), but he bounced back quickly.  He was able to stand up and transfer himself from the chair to the bed without help for the first time.  Rusty came back from Icon, tired but okay.  Love, Gay
