16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham

Great news! Tom is being transferred to HealthSouth in Panama City tomorrow. He will be leaving UAB at 9AM by ambulance. Brenda and I will be driving back to meet him at HealthSouth. I could be flying home to Maine as Thursday evening.

I spent the morning at the Civil Rights Institute across from the 16th Street Baptist Church, which was the scene of the bombing in the 60s that killed four young girls. The last of the bombers was just convicted, which is unbelievable. There is so much civil rights history in this city that I wanted to see it first hand. It was amazing.

I went for my last run in Birmingham, through Five Points and down University Blvd. This is a great town to run in; lots of hills and valleys. The only downside is that a different road is shut down every day, it seems.

Tonight I am going to the hospital cafeteria and using my coupon for my blood donation for pie slices for all of us. Sort of a celebration for how far Tom has come. All he wants is Snickers. LOL.
