appointments, plus helping my brother on the administrative and technical aspects of his job. I'm able to get around the apartment fairly well and can bump up and down the stairs, but I have to get help from someone to carry the wheelchair along. I also had a new kitten enter into my life. The cat is slightly over two months old and I'm leaning towards it being a female. I think that she is going to be a lap kitty and she already has learned how to climb up the wheelchair to get into my lap where she starts "making biscuits."

And yes, I do know Odd Fellows Cemetery. When I didn't have a car I would go there to catch a buzz either by myself or with a friend. It was only a few blocks behind my dorm room and the police force for Georgetown was still pretty small--we used to come back onto campus via the golf course. The road that runs through there was called "two-toke" road among the campus stoners. If the statue is to be displayed, then the cemetery is more appropriate than the town square.

I don't believe that I know anybody living in Georgetown at this point. I do have friends in Walburg and Round Rock though.
