Title: THE FORMER AND THE LATTER
Post by: bk on April 25, 2016, 12:08:56 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes contained both the former and the latter, and now it is time for you to post until the former and the latter cows come home.

Title: Re: THE FORMER AND THE LATTER
Post by: elmore3003 on April 25, 2016, 05:35:24 AM: My brother Randy surprised me around 8:15 with a phone call. I hadn't spoken to him in around three months, so I was happy to hear from him. He was in a talkative mood, and around 10:00 I told him that I knew he had to be up for work around 5:30 and I was ordering him to go to bed. By the time I finished the things I'd started before his call, it was close to midnight.

So I overslept.

I'm having some good days with my leg. It may have been the therapy, or it may be the gelatin I'm taking, but many of the pains have vanished and I am sleeping better. I'm cautious about the whole situation but pleased at the change.

I guess early influences were more literary and visual than people I actually knew. I would include Dr. Seuss and Peter Arno on a very early list; Jules Verne, Picasso, Cole Porter and Sondheim on a later list.

There really isn't much that inspired me when I was younger. If I saw people do great things, I figured only they could do them, and not me. I do remember watching the "Bob Newhart Show" and thinking I might want to be a psychologist, but it wasn't a particularly strong feeling.

When I was 4, Pinocchio inspired me to go into show biz.

A few years later, The Storyman (If you've read my first memoir, you know who he is.), inspired me to tell stories.

Mrs. Borgstrom, my Drama teacher in my senior high school year, inspired me to follow my dream.

Me too DR ELMORE - but we at least showed our vast musical knowledge......I had forgotten it was featured in BLITHE SPIRIT......strange that Coward didn't use one of his songs or write one of his own for the show......

In HIGH SPIRITS it becomes "Forever and A Day."

What happened to dear reader George? Unusual for him not to show up late. Hope all is okay.

All is well. I went to bed early so that I could get up early to go to an early eye appointment this morning. I'm getting new lenses put in an older set of frames and will probably wear those again. Now, I'll have a regular set that I'll wear all the time, and two, count 'em, TWO back-up pairs. :)

Travel dates are finally set. I'll be in Cincinnati visiting with family on Monday and Tuesday the 9th and 10th, and I've reserved the 11th as a completely free day for touring Beautiful SW Ohio and/or Indiana.

Would Wednesday the 11th work for a get-together? I believe that was one of DR Ginny's free days, but if anything's come up in the meantime, since it took me a while to formulate my plans, of course I'll understand!

DR Jrand65, are you available? Is there a way we can possibly all meet in one place for lunch or something? As far as my own driving is concerned, I'll be completely flexible and you two can call the shots. If your two places are too far apart for conveniently getting together, maybe we can come up with another plan. Just let me know what y'alls think.

Hopefully, the passenger gets help in time! My former supervisor and her husband used to take month-long cruises every May (before she retired). She said that it was not unusual to find out at the end of just about every cruise that at least one person had died. :-\
