You're right of course, I'm just goofing around. I actually haven't been on Caltrain in a long time. It never works out to more convenient than driving because I'd have to drive to Diridon anyway but I'm assuming you are withing walking distance so it makes sense.

I was in walking distance to Diridon. I haven’t wanted to relay this widely but at the beginning of the year I moved in with my dad (89) to help him out and bc I needed help. I’m in Sunnyvale now.

Got it. I hope you and your kitty and your dad are all doing well. My mom passed at 88 and my dad at 90 and I was going down to LA every week or every other week for a few years back in 2017-18 so I definitely understand. I guess Marianne's runs are more difficult now.

My mom died 14 years ago and my dad is naval academy ’strong’ so I didn’t worry until the heart issues and the mobility issues. I’m the oldest so I guess it falls on me. I’m very sorry you’ve lost both of yours.

I'm the only so there was no choice but it was the only right to be there as much as possible for them and make sure they had quality help when I wasn't. They both were still able to drive only a few months before they passed, fortunately without extreme medical care and thankfully before covid-19.
