Back on the Jet Plane

Chuck is headed back to Columbus. He's leaving on a jet plane. He came out here to help us through Ken's eye surgery.
He has done that.
Since he's been here we've:
Consumed 12 gallons of fresh squooze orange and grapefruit juice.
Realized you can use a golf club to shake citrus from the trees.
Developed a fondness for Progresso soup, especially Tomato Basil. (He brought 6 cans with him.)
Redeveloped an appetite for candy, popcorn, thriftstore shopping.
Increased our already large book selection by 20 more books Chuck is leaving behind.
Been to our first Saturday's farmers' market where we were fortunate enough to have only $20 cash on hand.
Become hooked on The Wire.
Watched the finals of two stockcar races and found the drivers very cute.
Introduced Chuck to Tess and the Golden Greek.
Discovered Chuck is no fan of sauteed kale.
Celebrated that Ken can now indeed see from his left eye, declaring the second surgery a complete success.
