Bulldog Basketball vs North Carolina Central University. 11.27.2015.

This game was nip and tuck for the first half. Tech was behind three points at the half. But the Dawgs really went ahead in the second half and won 71 to 50.

Two of the most loyal fans.

The Dawgs are backed by a group of young players.

Poor Skip sat all alone. He is related to half of the people in Ruston, but did not have anyone to sit with him.

Champ has a good looking dance partner.

Five tuba game.

Johnny Lynn Miller zips through the trees. She and her cousins love John's zip line.

Is seven kittens enough? (A visit to Patches's two boys)

I visited Patches's two boys the other day. I sat on the porch of the Skip and Carolyn utility building. They both seem to know me and will let me pick them up and hold them. I had a bag of cat goodies and fed them. Soon there were many cats around me. I counted six. Then I counted seven. A fun visit.

The yellow kitten (one of Patches kittens) seems to be the boss of all seven cats.

Vital Signs

I stopped taking Lisonopril last February. The cough that I have had for years is gone. Good bye Lisonopril cough! It is nice without it.

My only blood pressure medicine now is Atenolol. My blood pressure is up some so I have doubled my Atenolol a month ago. My BP is above the recommended 120/80. My BP (taken after a three minute rest) recently has been around 135/75. A higher BP is tolerated in older people. I have recently became an older person.

I expect to have an appointment with my Doctor pretty soon. I am looking forward to her thoughts..
