Good morning, all! This morning I slept late, but the great achievement was bathing myself, shaving, and washing my hair. It was a very sloppy procedure, but I did it and I'm very proud of my achievement. Of course I'm now on vicodin and muscle relaxer to make the horrible pains go away.
DR Ginny, I am so sorry to hear that there's no good news about John's recovery. I used to see him on my trips back to Middletown when I would drop by the community orchestra rehearsals. Between 1968 and 1971, John was my only source for information on how Richard was getting on in the army; he was a grad student in the Miami U music department and I would see him quite regularly and ask about everyone. He's a good man and I send his family my best wishes.
DR JRand58, last night I watched the Morbisch Festival MERRY WIDOW; it's not as funny as IM WEISSEN ROSSL but it's very well done with a huge Act Three can-can number. The leading man Mathias Hausmann is fantastic. The two leading ladies have very wild hair, which seems strange for me in 1905.
