Oh, thanks for the reminder!  I would have forgotten and I really want to see the tribute to my fellow Michigan alum!

DR TCB, so nice to see you posting just like you always have.   

Thanks everyone, I am going to try and post on a more regular basis.  I am tired and I am sore, but I am feeling beter all the time.  Let me assure you that if I had stayed at that Care Center, I would not have gotten better with time.

The worst part about the place was the noise.  At any time, day or night, there were three men who never stopped screaming, swearing, begging, jabbering, pleading, etc.  One of the three was, I believe, a stroke victim.  He had created his own language which he shouted 24-hours a day.  There was always, at least, three or four Nurses Call Buttons ringing and never answered.  One bell, my first night, rang for twelve straight hours.  If I had been able to sleep, it might have been bearable, but since I was sleepin on a slab of concrete, that didn't happen.  Once I told them on Thursday morning that I was leaving, they brought out the strong-arm troops.

There was a whole bunch of crap, but basically I wanted out.  I have my first surgery follow-up appointment on the 26th, the office has assured me that I will be given all the tools I need at that time for my rehab.

Here's another photo from the conference.  We always have a silent auction to raise money for AAUW philanthropies.  I created Middletown's contribution from a totebag that says "Got Books?"  Filled it with some items from our recent booksale and other members contributed things like a book light and a Barnes & Noble gift card.  The entire silent auction made $1,401 and our item went for $55:

I kind of thought that they sounded like The Bickersons.

I didn't know Robin Gibb of the BeeGees had written a requiem in memory of the Titanic. Apparently, he wrote it with his son.

I've read Robin is in a coma and not expected to live much longer. :(

I believe he has already passed away?  Or was the Maurice?  This was a few years ago, anyway....

Sadly rehab places & convalescent hospitals are awful places, not that regular hospitals are fun.

I'm cooking rice to compliment the yummy stew Craig made last night.  Diced tofu, kidney beans, peppers, onions & mushrooms with a slight kick to the seasoning.  I don't know what else is in it.  He made it in the dutch oven I bought him a couple of weeks ago.  I would get one for me except it is too heavy for me to wash.

I'm back from The Drowsy Chaperone.  It was fun and very well done, BUT: In what universe does a director and choreographer take full and complete credit when the direction and choreography is a total carbon copy of the Broadway staging - every move, every hand gesture, and every performance.  Clones of Sutton (every vocal mannerism and move), Bob Martin, well the whole kit and caboodle.  The artistic director played Adolpho and was very funny and very much in the Danny Burstein mode, but at least he kind of made it his own.  The Chaperone was so like Beth Leavel you'd have thought it was a third generation copy you were watching.  The show is entertaining, but there's something about it that stops me from loving it every time.  The music was on tracks and sounded fine, and I was more than amused that whichever company created the tracks and licenses them used MY recording of the overture (where we made it sound like an old 78) - I did that session when the show was trying out here, and they ware only supposed to use it here, where I was fully credited.  But it ended up being cheaper to do a buyout than record it anew in NY, so it was used for the entire Broadway run and now apparently for every other production - I was not credited in the Broadway program or anywhere else - a thank you would have been nice.

The food was pretty good, too.  It's a nice space, they had a set resembling the B'way version and now I have had my first dinner theatre experience, albeit at lunch.

I got a message on Facebook from one of the movie Nudie Musical dancers, someone I'd been trying to find for ages and ages, especially when we were doing the documentary for the DVD.  She's in the finale and she's in Honey, What'cha Doin' Tonight?  She's the first hooker dialogue in that number.

I am glad you didn't try using that word at my "care" center.  When I used it, the nurse checking me in got hysterical, because she thought I was making up the word.

DR Jane, I didn't buy the Got Books? bag.  I created it as our branch's donation to the silent auction.  It was purchased by someone from Toledo.  What I did buy, for $40, was a basket from the Worthington branch that had some books and some other items that I can use for gifts.

And, yes, I have read PEOPLE OF THE BOOK and loved it!

My dinner was definitely not a stew.  Craig called it chili.  I don't think so.  It is very Mexican tasting whatever it is, and delicious.
