I got a massage from Tennie at EMH, and then (after a change of clothes) went to a wake for my friend and teacher Mary Lou Chalfant: 13 Feb 1921 – 30 April 2015. http://obits.cleveland.com/obituaries/cleveland/obituary.aspx?n=mary-louise-chalfant&pid=174808881&fhid=15567

I trained back and triceps at the gym, and then I took Sharon to brunch at the original pancake house, in Fairview Park.

In the late afternoon, it was a Russian lesson, and then we grilled out.

It was a good day for getting tasks done and reading.

I received a phone call that a high school teacher had died, and alerted others.
