Today I got up at 6 and by 6:35 was driving David to Prince William Forest for his "weekly walk" and breakfast with Fred.  Fred started his walk before we arrived.  David and I walked for 19 minutes with stops as necessary.  Fred got to our car just after we did and David was in the passenger's seat getting the dog treats out.  Ali jumped into the driver's seat to get her treats.  She was extremely excited to see David and strained to get to him (and the treat).  We went to the Dumfries' Diner for breakfast.  Fred and I ate.  David had his meal before we left home.  One of the frequent patrons came over to the table and commented that there were no raised voices.  Fred, David and I calmly disagreed about the presidential race.  Fred mentioned Fox News' reports of "The Energizer" who supposedly is having an affair with Bill Clinton as well as owning an energy company and getting $$ from Clinton's foundation and the government.  David was a bit quiet and not arguing.  Fred did not get upset either.  We talked about water quality, pandemics and Ron's going away party.  I had some good coffee, french toast and bacon.  We got back home about 9:30.  I got all the newspapers for recycling into David's trunk and he headed off to the temple to recycle the and go inside for more conversations.  He had his walking stick throughout the walk, stopped and started and was wheezing but not short of breath once he stopped.  He seemed to move more easily to day compared to yesterday when we were in Alexandria; however, when I asked him if he felt stronger/better he said no, it is about the same.  Nonetheless, he had the energy to go out to the temple after we got home so I do see an improvement in his overall physical and mental state.
