Dad is doing surprisingly well. He actually likes the place he's in. And, they seem very friendly, and take good care of him.

I went to pick him up and take him to the bank yesterday, and he was sitting there reading what appeared at first glance to be a bible. Thenhe asked me if I ever read anything by this guy, and he was reading a Ken Follett novel! I told him that he was one of my favorite writers, and I've read about everything he's published. Amazing. I'll go out and buy him a few more.
