Well....................I was at the Dollar Tree this morning, and the cashier Judy (I hate to admit I am now one of those old men who know the cashiers by name and ask how they are) asked me if I take any prescriptions. 

I said, I get some when I am sick sometime, but none regularly.  She said a new pharmacy had just opened three doors down and she had gotten her prescription FREE!

I went down there to get some generic ClaritinD.  I usually pay $18.95 at Walgreen's. At Lo-Cost Pharmacy it was $8.16.  The man told me most prescriptions are free....somehow....anyway, I will tell my brothers and sisters about the place, and we shall see what we shall see.

Great find, Jrand! 

I don't suppose Judy keeps track of anything similar in midtown Manhattan.

Wednesday morning greetings!  I have nothing on my calendar today and plan to go nowhere.  Maybe I can get some papercrafting done for next week's AAUW Holiday Bazaar and some other puttering.

DR Jrand66, I only have one prescription, so this will be simple.  Can you pick me up a free year's supply of Valsartan?  Thanks in advance.

DR Ginnyou and DR elmore,  I didn't realize reading HILLBILLY ELEGY would also include a history lesson on Middletown.

BK, I loved your sweet tribute to Tammy Grimes!  I, too, was taken with the Molly Brown cast album.  By the time I saw the show in Detroit in 1962, your friend Karen Morrow was in the title role alongside Harve Presnell.

I don't usually think good movies need to be musicalized!  In fact I do not like many - if any - of the Broadway movie to stage shows.

BUT - the more I hear of the ROMAN HOLIDAY songs....and think of Zeffirelli directing....I think it sounds like the best idea ever.  Those characters can sing.....

I never met Tammy Grimes, though I wore out my LP of THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN listening to it.

When I was representing Howard Keel back in the late 1960s-through most of the 1970s, he did a production (possibly a short tour) of MOLLY BROWN with Ms. Grimes somewhere, I believe, in the Midwest.

What surprised me a bit was that, by contract, he got top billing.

Yes, he was certainly the bigger name, but it was her show.

I wore out the Molly Brown LP, too.  Loved that, and it's high time I heard that score again.  It's been years.

I've assembled the meds for the coming week, put away the groceries, written a little bit of the choral piece, and I think it's time to lie on the heating pad for a bit.

Why couldn't I age gracefully?

DR John, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR SISTER!

Keith is working on our flights to Austin.  To my shock there aren't any non-stop flights.  I hate extra landings as I am more likely to get airsick during the landing.  Tell me again how pretty the Riverwalk is at Christmas time ;)

I am interested in how accurate you find his descriptions of Middletown.
