Six short months ago my Amazon reviewer ranking was around 150,000.  Today I became a Top 500 reviewer - it took a while to get there from the Top 1000 position, but got there I did.

We ended last night's run of A Christmas Story at about 9:35.  The kids were let go, and the adults stayed until about 11:00, working a few of the songs.  That helped.

In the comedy department, I went to create the document for the new book.  When I do that, I just go to the previous book, in this case GEE and I do a save as.  I typed the name of the new book in and tried to save but it said there was already a document with that name.  Say what?  How could that be when I just decided that this would be the book I was going to write?  So I found the document and I guess I'd first contemplated writing this very book two years ago, but instead wrote Thrill Ride.  So, I thought that was a pretty good omen.  I'd already written two paragraphs.  I didn't care for them but the idea was just right so I did a quick rewrite of those two paragraphs.  Isn't that funny?  It's like what happened with GEE.  I opened an older book idea document and there was the very rough idea of what would become the central plot point in GEE.  It's wacky and weird.

So, I just created the document for the non-fiction book instead.

Tuesday morning greetings!  Yesterday Rebecca and I had a nice lunch at Cheesecake Factory to celebrate her birthday, which is Friday.  She'll be on her way then to Georgia for their grandson's first Christmas, so we celebrated early.  When I got home I supervised Richard and Rob setting up our Christmas tree and then Richard and I did our second-to-last grocery shopping before the big day.  I crashed last night and am enjoying a slow morning.

Also, our week in NYC in July, which included the DESPERATE MEASURES afternoon that's on so many lists.  What fun!

Time to headback to work

Are you walking or driving?  Do you have a parking space at work?

I don't have a reserved parking space but there is a parking lot.  I am driving because it's been bitter cold and very windy

TOD:

It's been a difficult year, but there were a few good things.

I'm very glad I was able to see A Carol Christmas. I'm playing the CD a lot, but the songs go through my head whether the CD is on or not.

The midterm elections. (Thanks for reminding me, Larry.)

Mostly I'm just glad things weren't worse.

DR Jeanne a friend needs to make a decision regarding vision correction during cataract surgery.  Talking about it got me thinking.....

How is your vision now?

Jane, I am having LOTS of problems with my vision and I am not at all happy with the response I'm getting from the conventional (HMO) ophthalmologist. I am thus trying some alternative methods, which I'll share when I know more.

That said, if your friend is wondering if she should get a Toric lens implant, I'd say yes. BUT, there is the possibility of a secondary cataract--that's what I have--but I believe that can happen even without the Toric lens. My gripe is that they should tell you that this is a possibility, how to recognize it, and what to do. My medical team did none of that.

If your friend is considering near-vision correction, I'd say yes if you're on the computer or reading  much of the day. But again, your vision changes after a few years. I could read the computer or a book very comfortably without glasses three years ago (following the surgery). I can't now; I have to get closer to the computer screen. As soon as it's 2019 I'll book with my optometrist and do a new exam. I have a prescription I could use now for the computer glasses, but I'd like to do a recheck first.

I probably would have made the same decision had I known what would happen, but I feel there is far too much marketing and not enough reality, ie, cautions, thus keeping the patient in the dark.

Good luck to your friend.

She hasn't gotten as far as considering near-vision correction, just possibly not correcting her vision at all as she does close up needle work or deal with always needing reading glasses on and off.

Keith has a secondary cataract.  I recall it was a quick and easy fix.  I just asked him and he said it was easier than going to the dentist.

Good luck and good eye vibes to you!

DR Kevin are you home?  If so what are the weather conditions there?  We sent DS Craig a gift that was shipped through Fed-x.  It was supposed to arrive yesterday.  Then today it said it was out for delivery.  Now it says:

"Local delivery restriction - Delivery not attempted
Recommended action: No action required. Delivery will be re-scheduled when conditions improve."


I am guessing it has to do with a problem at his apartment complex vs the weather-just checking to be sure.

1.  Spending time with HHW friends who shlepped to Redmond for the day to see our show. Thanks to George and TCB, and  Jane and Keith (who also found the hotel) for shlepping so far and even going out of your way that Friday morning to the airport.  The folks at the theater were so nice, and the HHW group made it so special.

1a. That my cousin's family were able to go to the shows as they happened to be in Seattle then.

2. July and November trips in Florida.  My mother's 90th birthday in July.  Getting to actually spend real time in the "Casita" senior center I'd heard about, but used to wait outside for my mom, but on the November trip for their  66th  anniversary, it was less crowded than other times, so the management there was OK with my sitting in there, so I saw firsthand why my mom enjoys it every day.  (She's always loved Bingo and dominoes and cards, and has so many friends there.)

Dad doesn't play cards that much any more, but he enjoys that Mom has recovered so well from breaking her pelvis a few years ago.

Otherwise, relaxing and listening to Previn make musical magic.  Now playing: a CD I almost skipped, but I decided to listen to each of the 55 CDs, even the music I don't think will interest me.  So, this one is a Mozart puff pastry opera called The Impresario - BUT - it's been adapted by Dory Previn and her text is actually laugh out loud funny, the music works delightfully for the adaptation (Dory Previn also wrote the words for the music), and the cast is brilliant, including Leo McKern and Reri Grist, who I've always loved.  A complete delight.  Who knew?

Getting to see On Your Feet with my friend David
Getting to see Turn of the Screw with my friend Margo
Getting to usher and see (separately) for free Shoshana Bean, Judy Collins and Stephen Stills, Melissa Etheridge, and Pink Martini in concert at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts

And mostly...getting to see Kathy Griffin Live in Seattle!

Thank you.  It was a good time.

Thanks, I’ll accept that.

Tom, I think you should feel good that in spite of the challengers of this show you did quality work to be proud of.

Shortly after I got home tonight, there was a very bright lightning strike and then a loud thunder clap!  It wasn't raining when I left rehearsal, but it's been raining since that lightning!

It is always good when you beat the bad weather home.
