Well, you've read the notes, the notes were in retrograde, and now it is time for you to post until the retrograde cows come home.

Thursday morning greetings!  Remember the lovely afternoon and evening Richard and I had planned for yesterday?  Well, I dropped him at his meeting and proceeded to the mall where I got only as far as the restroom when my phone rang.  It was Mom's nurse telling me they'd just called 911 and Mom would be going to the hospital.  Her symptoms sounded to me like a possible heart attack.  I retrieved Richard and we got to the ER to find Mom chatting up the nurses.  Heart attack had been ruled out, but they wanted to do a lot more tests and administer some meds that required a few hours of observation.  She was finally released about 8pm and Paramedic Rob and I got her settled back in her room.

No new power chord for my iPad, no Montgomery Inn dinner, no St. Olaf Choir at St. Peter in Chains Cathedral - but we're not telling Mom about any of that...

DR TCB - the wait for approval from Medicare for my father's scooter was not very long....I would encourage you to wait....you will get better service from the company, and you will have a representative assigned to you who will answer any questions.

They will also make sure you get the scooter that will work best with your doors and sinks, etc.

What a morning.  I was up at five-thirty and couldn't fall back asleep due to the allergy problems.  Only about three and a half hours of actual sleep.  Then I had to go see Little Shop of Horrors' dress rehearsal, but as it turns out I only could stay for act one because they were giving notes and then taking a ninety minute break.  I then went and had a cup of soup and a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich, picked up no mail or packages and am now home until about five.

Today was a challenging day, to say the least.


In between clients, I answered the phone non-stop and retrieved countless voicemail messages. And yet, at the end of the day, there were 20 NEW voicemail messages. They all want appointments. WHY would anyone leave something as vital and important as having health care until 2 days before the final deadline? I just don't understand it.


And then they act indignant and shocked when I tell them that we have no appointments available at the time and location that suits them.

And then they have to come to my house to make sure that I can actually use the chair.

Actually, this makes sense even if it is unnecessary for you.  My sister got my father an electric chair and he used it once, gently crashed it and it sat there unused.  It should never have been approved for him, and wouldn't have if anyone had checked.

I shall now be on my way to the theater.  Today's baffling bit: One of our authors, for the second time in a row, makes a post about our show, crediting just about every single person from cast to creative team without mentioning the gentleman who actually directed the show and who has worked his ASS off on it for no pay.  So I finally responded and said, "Gee, ya think the show directed itself."  Followed by a smiley face.  Then on my own wall I made my own post about tonight's preview, called out our wonderful cast, design team, stage manager, MD and added: "I'm sure someone wrote the show but I learned of Facebook today that that's not all that important" or something like that, again followed by a smiley face.  So, what does the author do?  She removes her post from her wall, and shares mine, making it seem like I'm being snarky for no reason.  I immediately responded and explained to everyone who's reading her wall about her removing her post and why I made the one I did.  That one she's left up, but as long as my explanation stays it's fine.  Sometimes it's like dealing with twelve-year-olds.

This evening was much better than last.  We took Rob and Mary Linda to her place of choice for a belated birthday celebration.  We had good beer, good food, and a good time at Hofbrauhaus in Newport, KY, just across the river from downtown Cincinnati.

Not at all.  It is natural for you to be disappointed.  If something bad is going to happen it is preferable for the timing to be more convenient.  Of course it is best for a happy outcome so we can joke about it. :)

Some people use stuff like chocolate or coffee or things like that, but paint is the most common

Interesting.  I've never seen these in person.

When I was growing up we had the Estherville Winter Sports Festival and people all over town would build snow sculptures.   Our neighborhood did Puff the Magic Dragon one year. It was huge!  Another year we did the three little pigs with the buildings and the wolf and everything

Watching an SCTV disc and am finding it as funny as it was back in the day. There's a great spoof of Siskel and Ebert in which they talk about Bob Fosse's All Those Polkas and the latest Star Wars saga, Empires are a Girl's Best Friend.

Rick Moranis plays Dick Cavett interviewing Dick Cavett and the impersonation is creepy.

Oh this was the whole neighborhood.  The dragon was probably 30 feet long and maybe 10-15 feet tall.  The parents did most of the work and the kids watched

I saw a stage production of The 39 Steps a few years ago. It was really well done and a lot of fun.

It was a lot of fun and the actors were all very good.  They switched between characters (when necessary) very effortlessly...for the most part.

There were a few moments that weren't exactly perfect, but either they handled them humorously or they actually might've been done on purpose.  If that's the case, then the we're handled very well. :)

Not too long after that, he mounted a production in Ohio and hired the dancers mothers, and had a big article in their local paper.  The rights holders got word of the "additions" and promptly sent a ciece and desist letter.  They had to fire the addditional cast members.  SPOO!!
