Well, I failed to have any Chinese food yesterday.  My stomach wasn't really in the mood for any spicy food, so I stuck to more bland fare.  
I took a random three hour nap this evening, slept from about 6 to 9.  As a result, my body doesn't have the faintest idea what time it really is, and I'm walking around in a bit of a fog.

And the word of the day is: ERUMPENT

I have never heard of this word!  But according to the American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition, 2000, here it is:
 
ADJECTIVE: Bursting through or as if through a surface or covering.

I am walking around in lounging pyjamas, smoking jacket, a dickie, and bunny slippers - occasionally I stop and do the TWIST.

Sorry about that.  I didn't have any problem with it, so I didn't think anyone else would.  You should be able to click on this link:

No problems with the link??  Okay, now I must go to bed.  I don't know when my housemate will be home, but I don't want to be up when he gets here.  I just want to leave his birthday card and present (fudge-covered Oreos!) on the table for him.  So, I'm going to bed with absolutely no idea how to use ERUMPANT in a sentence.  Good night all!

Did Miss Gale Storm return today on the day of her namesake?

Hayley Mills patiently signed FREE autographs a few years ago after a matinee of THE KING AND I.  She was not the BEST Anna in the world, but it was fun to see her because of who she is.  When she came out the door and saw many of us standing there, I decided to use a line from SUMMER MAGIC....I said:  "She's not knock-kneed, Nancy!"  Everyone laughed and Hayley said:  "Thank you, Walt Disney!"

Title: Re:HAYLEY KISSED ME
Post by: Matt H. on February 20, 2005, 07:51:17 AM
I agree with you, DR JRand, and appreciate your gallant comment. Hayley should not do musicals where her character must do a lot of singing. It's not her strong suit. She's a lovely actress, however, and that got her through.

I saw CALL(ING) NORTHSIDE 777 on the FMC some months ago, and I enjoyed it without being bowled over by it. I had always heard what a triumph it was, and I found it good rather than great. Not sure when the DVD is available if I'd want to spring for it. But I'm glad these classics are finding their way to DVD release.

Well, we got some of your rain, I guess. Wasn't supposed to start until this afternoon, but when I got up this morning (8:15), it was already raining, and I ended up going to the grocery store in the rain. Not heavy but still irritating. But, that's over with now, and I'll be settling in for some CSI: MIAMI episodes and THE GREAT ZIEGFELD today.

I slept very late!  I'm ready to go back to bed, but I will refrain.  I have some tidying to do; I've lost a folder of magazine clippings, it's not in any of the usual places, and I need to find it.  Damn, I hate that when it happens.  I don't think it vanished when the bookcases fell, but I don't have any sense of time these days.

When I went to the Library of Congress last October, I recopied a libretto to THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER, but I found the original copy later in my files here; I had stuck it in a drawer with other libretti after the bookcase collapse and totally forgot about it.   So, I have to find this fershlugenah folder of clippings today.

Dear Friend BK, ever since your Hayley Mills kiss, "Joshua Noveck" has been running through my head.

Posting from the Heim of Ana in Orange County.  Just finished two days at the Religious Eduacation Congress, and it was faboo.  EL-DP Eric arrived last night and met myself and an old pal from the "other church" in the Land of Disney and we frolocked till midnight.  And YES, we frolicked because for the first time since the last two times I've been down here, IT WASN'T CROWDED!!!!   One could, if one wanted too, frolick down Main Street like a Gazelle in Neverland and not run into anyone!!

I've decided to blow off the last day of Congress and spend the next few days enjoying D-land with the lack of crowds.  It really felt like old times last night, when you were able to walk anywhere at anytime and not run into anyone.  Last night, EL-DP handed me an early b-day gift, tickets for the Balcony seating/ dessert buffet for tonights 10:30pm viewing of "Fantasmic!!" - so I'm hoping the weather will hold.  What a guy!

Went to a play last night at the Pentacle Theater...DEARLY DEPARTED...which my friend Jeff is in. It was closing night and it was sold out, so I waited at the ticket booth for an hour hoping to snag a ticket...which I finally did!

It was a funny play and I enjoyed it. Met Jeff's girlfriend and got to meet one of the other actors, Rob Brunner, who I have long had a crush on (having seen him in previous plays...and at the gym!)  ;)

Prior to the play I decided to eat at a Chinese place on State street in order to fulfill BK's request for us to all eat some Chinese.

So, I had Beef in Black Bean Sauce...and it was tasty....I was also the only one in the restaurant!

Good Morning!  Good Afternoon!  (for the HHW East Coasters)

I inadvertently WUSSBURGERed out last night.  I think it was from the caffeine drop I had after the cafe au lait I had with dessert.  I just totally zonked out.  Next thing I knew it was 11:30 this morning. Whew!

It's a very gray day here. I may go for a run, or I may go ahead and tackle the kitchen floor, or... or...

But for now I'm watching "Trading Spaces"...

I'm going to the theater (or theatre) also.  I'm ushering for the tour of Say Goodnight Gracie starring the one and only Frank Gorshin, and it's written by Rupert Holmes.  It should be very good.  And since I didn't have any Chinese food yesterday, I'm going to go to Panda Express ("Gourmet Chinese Food!") for lunch today.  So, I'd better take my shower and get going.  I have to be at the theater (or theatre) by 12:30.  As Jose says (and many others quote), "Laters!"

Good afternoon!

Greetings from Steve's new building!  Very cool!  It's a converted old factory space.  Lots of exposed wood beams and metal I-beams.  We just finished taking more measurements and pictures of his new apartment.  He's gonna start picking out paint colors with the aid of the online paint chips and PhotoShop.

-Oh, and there's a wireless internet connection accessible from the lobby and other parts of the building.  -Which is how I'm connecting now!

;)

We're hanging out in a friends' apartment.  They moved in a few weeks ago - which is how Steve found out about this new place.

And there's a beautiful dog here - golden lab, I believe.  Very sweet.

I've got a question/topic for the day: What is the worst gift of clothing you have ever received?

For me, I once received a white pullover-type shirt.  Two problems: it was emblazoned with a Playboy bunny logo over the breast, where I'd have much preferred a pocket, and it was made of this strange plastic material that was incredibly itchy and would have melted in the dryer even at the lowest setting.

It's hard to be gracious at times like that.   :-\

George, your card last night reminded me of this one I bought in Britain.  The caption reads:  "They were the perfect Valentine's couple - he danced like a tw#t and she looked like one."  I've never sent it because I can't bear to part with it.  It was one of those moments where I guffawed out loud when I picked it up.  I'm thinking of framing it.

Had to throw in my agreement on this. DR Jed and I saw her play Desiree in A Little Night Music last year at the 5th Avenue in Seattle.  The show overall left something to be desired, possibly because it was a preview night and things had not yet jelled, but Ms Mills' performance was sadly one of the weakest spots in the show.  Not only was her singing voice truly not up to the task..she just seemed too darned sweet to play Desiree.

I saw the news posted on Playbill.com this morning.  Very sad news indeed, and, unfortunately, probably not the last closing for arts organizations around the country.

Theatre Virginia in Richmond went through a very similar and sudden(!) closing a few years ago.

I remember reading about the financial troubles that Charlotte Rep has been going through about a year ago, and I know their debt was brought into question during the construction and move to their new facility.  -And since I play for the SouthEastern Theatre Conference, I've always heard about Charlotte Rep since our Fall convention takes place in Charlotte - at Spirit Square.

THE GREAT ZIEGFELD looks pretty good on DVD. There is some minor scratching and flecks of dirt every once in awhile. The mono sound is adequate.

I still find it amazing that Luise Rainer won the Best Actress Oscar over Carole Lombard in MY MAN GODFREY for this performance.

I remember reading about the financial troubles that Charlotte Rep has been going through about a year ago,
Let up hope the proverbial Phoenix will rise from the ashes.

After the triumphant run of ANGELS IN AMERICA and the subsequent controversy that pumped hundred of thousands of dollars into their accounts from donations after the Arts and Science Council withdrew their financial help, Rep should have been able to do wonders with that bankroll, but sad to say, their desire overreached their grasp. So determined were they to win the regional Tony Award that they sank an ungodly amount of money into a production of THE MIRACLE WORKER with Hillary Swank with the intention of taking it to Broadway. The production was a disaster for the Rep (though it did sellout business, it wasn't enough to prevent a huge debt due to Swank's exorbitant fee and the pullout of the Weisslers from co-producing it). Foolish ventures in avant garde plays when they were at their weakest proved the final nail in the coffin. The last two years they've been trying to do safe, crowd-pleasing works to build up their finances, but those shows never did better than break even (and some didn't do that. How many times can you see BAREFOOT IN THE PARK?).
Title: Re:HAYLEY KISSED ME
Post by: Michael on February 20, 2005, 01:37:23 PM
too bad they didn;t do another controversal play like Corpus Christi that would have pumped $$.

I find it hard though that a regional theater thought it would have been that important to win a Tony Award. I know they would have gotten some $$, but to me that has to be the least important of the tony awards. Shame that striving for it caused their downfall.

Bruce did you check the paper for rain stats and records?  

I remember one very wet winter when we were in elementary school.  Do you know the street that runs behind Castle Heights Elementary school use to be a gully?  During heavy rains we would all line up along the fence to see if the gully would overflow, forcing school to be cancelled.  I can only remember that happening once.  My mother, in her wisdom, said we might as well stay home that morning because it was bound to happen and it would be a waste of our time to go to school.  My brother and I stayed home and my sister decided to go, only to return a few hours later.

Sandra Dee has died, unless she shares the same publicist as John Raitt and Harvey Schmidt.  (Sorry--un-PC humor is my specialty).

Jane--there was just a nice synchronicity for Betsy's parents' visit.  One of Betsy's radio friends was out of town for the whole month that they are here, so they're staying in her house in the Corbett neighborhood.

Well, it's now pouring again.  I'm waiting for the phone call saying he won't be able to do it.  Although, I'm now pretty convinced this rain is going to continue forever.  I'm telling you, the government and some undercover agency is the cause of this.  Some kind of testing to see if weather warfare can work.  Either that, or LA is suddenly experiencing the worst rainfall in its history, and I just don't buy that for a second.

JMK, sorry I thought that was a strange joke you made.  So sad about Sandra Dee.  Her life should have been much better.

History of "Strange Joke" (not to be confused with "Strange Music" from Song of Norway):  someone posted here a few days ago that John Raitt had died.  That turned out to be, as he noted with wry understatement, "premature".  Then someone emailed me that Harvey Schmidt had died and I asked BK here if that was right or if Harvey had the same publicist as John Raitt.  Therefore, continuing this string of hilarity (ummm....maybe not :) ), I hedged my bet on Miss Dee.

Re:  Percy Faith.  I want to say that Percy actually scored one of her movies, maybe the Tammy one or one of the comedies with Darrin.  I have to get to a gig but I'll look it up on IMDb and post later if someone doesn't in the meantime.

JMK, I think I did kind of read that.  My eyes were a bit blurry and my brain a bit fuzzy at the time-not that it is clear yet, just better. ;D

I was often teased I looked like Gidget, which may be the reason it is my favorite Sandra Dee Movie.

So many of her films were fluff, but I loved them.

I am with MBARNUM on his Sandra Dee choices.

THE RESTLESS YEARS - which is sort of a Carrie w/o telekinesis, featuring John Saxon.

IMITATION OF LIFE - just so pretty and oblivious to anyone's problems but her own

SUMMER PLACE - repressed and suddenly Troy Donahue's stepsister

And I will add two:

THE RELUCTANT DEBUTANTE - as the daughter of Rex Harrison and stepdaughter of Kay Kendall who suddenly finds herself part of the London "season."  Sexy John Saxon (a frequent co-star) is the Duke of Positano posing as a drummer in a band.

THAT FUNNY FEELING - costarring with hubby Bobby Darin as a kind of Doris Day, Jr.

Recent reports of her life have been very sad, and I remember Rona Barrett reporting on her devastation at the divorce from Darin.  :'(

Bye, Sandy.

He also contributed to the score of I'D RATHER BE RICH, another Sandra Dee movie.

She was a part of childhood many of us at this site remember as particularly golden - The summer place of our youth. Thanks to DR JRand I got to read "Dream Lovers" a year or so ago. Sandra sang the theme song from "Tammy Tell Me True".  It was released here as a single.

I have seen it over and over.  It is very sad.  And it usually goes back to two or three people who bully everyone else and claim to have answers - and the other people realize too late - NO ONE KNOWS in theatre....it's ALL guesswork.

Hi folks.  Pardon me if I don’t stay long.  I’ve spent all day today trying to get the Pocket PC to connect to the internet.  I have been back and forth to Brandon five times.

I called HP, Boingo and San Disk.  The final conclusion you ask?  Well let me tell you.  There is NOTHING wrong with the wi-fi card or the settings.  It just doesn’t work as far as hooking up with the net and NO ONE knows why.  

The tech at Boingo went so far as to tell me that he has never heard of anyone connecting to the net with Pocket PC.  Go check their web page if you want to get a good laugh about that statement.  

I am so tired, so upset, so very, very, very MAD.  I did all of the updates.  I rebooted, reloaded everything, reset back to factory settings, downloaded and install all updates.  Not in that order.  Nothing.  

I can’t even return the wi-fi card.  CompUSA said there was no problem with the card finding the hot spots.  Oh, it lists them alright.  There were NINE of them in their store alone.  I just can’t connect to any of them.

I have a headache the size of Texas and don’t know if I want to scream or cry.  

Thanks for allowing me to vent.  I’m going to go try to watch a movie and take my mind off of the computer for awhile.

Jose, take my advise and don't even try a wi-fi.  It's not worth it. :( >:( :-\ :'( :P

LOS ANGELES - John Raitt, the robust baritone who created the role of Billy Bigelow in the original New York production of "Carousel" and sang with Doris Day (news) in the movie "Pajama Game," died Sunday. He was 88.

Raitt, the father of singer Bonnie Raitt (news), died peacefully from complications of pneumonia at his Pacific Palisades home, his manager, James Fitzgerald, said in a statement.

Raitt had become well known on the West Coast for his handsome presence and ringing voice when in 1944 he was invited to New York to try out for the role of Curly in the road company of "Oklahoma!" He was rushed from Penn Station to the St. James Theater and an audition with Oscar Hammerstein II and Richard Rodgers.

In 1995, Raitt recalled: "I hadn't sung since California, so I said, 'Do you mind if I warm up?' I sang Figaro's aria from 'The Barber of Seville.' Then I sang all of Curly's songs.'"

There was silence when he finished. The problem was not his voice, which was both melodic and powerful, but his height. At 6 feet 2 was he too tall for Curly? Hammerstein reasoned: "I'm a tall man. Why can't Curly be tall?" Raitt was hired for the Chicago company of "Oklahoma!"

Rodgers and Hammerstein had been working on their second collaboration, "Carousel," and they chose Raitt for the role of the doomed hero Billy Bigelow.

Raitt astounded the opening-night audience in 1945 with his dynamic soliloquy, which he called "practically a one-act opera which took six and a half minutes to sing." He said Hammerstein had been inspired to write it when he heard the newcomer sing Figaro at the audition.

Welcome nine (!) GUESTS.  We're talkin' about ERUMPENT and my new TV.  Stand is almost, but not quite, assembled.  And then he will probably put all the equipment into it prior to actually bringing in the TV.  We're both hoping we get a small window sans rain for him to get the old TV into the garage and the new TV in the house.  

I think if this continues for another day, you will be getting the "official" report of what I've been saying for the last four days - this is the worst rainfall in the history of Los Angeles.

It is now coming down so hard it's unbelivable.  It had abated somewhat during the afternoon, but in the last half hour the streets outside my window are flooded once again.   I have lived in this city for fifty-seven years, and let me tell you I have seen nothing like this.  We've had brief periods which have been as bad, but this puts them to shame.

Good Evening!

Back from Steve's soon-to-be-new place.  After dealing with some of his friend's computer issues - which was also part of the visit - we headed over to Legend Brewing Company to get some dinner.  The food was rather tasty, even if the waitress seemed a bit perturbed the whole time.  She was efficient and took care of us, but her tableside manner definitely needs some fine tuning.

Oh, and note to BK - It seemed one requirement of all the waitresses in this place is that they wear short shirts so that their midriffs are exposed.

;)

I had a wonderful burger with bleu and swiss cheese.  I also ordered a side of the "pub fries" which turned out to be crispy, roasted and seasoned wedges of red potatoes.  Pretty tasty.  Not traditional "fries", but very good - and heathy (-ier) too!

Well, I'm back from seeing Say Goodnight Gracie.  I thought it was great.  Frank Gorshin was very good.  Evidently, when they first started advertising their season last year, Jamie Farr was supposed to be doing it.  He didn't.  A couple of people who came to see it (I was at the door, ripping ticket stubs) were disappointed that Jamie Farr wasn't playing the part.  One couple said that if they had known that Jamie wasn't doing it, they wouldn't have gotten tickets.  I didn't know what to say.

Anyway, I thorougly enjoyed the show.  The place was almost sold out...it holds about 988 people.  I don't know what the final count was, but there probably weren't more than a dozen people who were younger than me.  Just about everyone else seemed to be much, much (only two muches, but still) older than me.  They were a great crowd, though.

DR Danise - Do you have a tech guy at work you could consult with?  Or maybe just walk in tomorrow with your Pocket PC and WiFi card, and dangle them in front of his/her face/desk...  "Oh, do you need help getting that set up?"  *And if you're office also has a wireless network set-up, you should be able to access that.

OOHHH!!!!!

I think that may be the root of your problem...  Did you get a standard WiFi modem card?  Or did you get a Wireless Network Card for your Pocket PC?

When I was looking at a wireless card for my Pocket PC, I was looking for a wireless network card.  Yes, it's basically WiFi, but the protocols are different.  With a wireless network card, you can access a wireless network - WiFi, Linksys, Airport, etc.  And you don't need an ISP to do so.  Once you set it up on your Pocket PC, once you open IE, it should find the nearest access point.

*That's why I was sort of surprised you needed an ISP to access a WiFi access point.  Yes, Wifi is a wireless network, but there are other ways to access a wireless network.  When I travel with my laptop and a hotel offers wireless, high-speed access, I just have to tell my wireless card to recognize the signal in my room/lobby/etc.

**Of course, this also assumes that the wireless network you are accessing has Broadband capability.  Some wireless networks are office set-ups, just to communicate from computer to computer.  But most wireless "networks" setup in hotels have internet access capability - at least in my experience and travels.

Have you tried going into a Starbucks?  Most locations offer wireless internet access.  Barnes & Noble's have also started setting up "hot spots" in their stores.

And then there's the whole Bluetooth "solution" too, but that's another totally different - yet similar - story.

However...

I also noticed that while browsing the HP site that there are some models of iPaqs that simply don't work with wireless cards - WiFi or otherwise.  It's just a matter of the actual hardware in the iPaq model.

A couple of years ago, I had bought Steve a wireless card for his laptop - an HP, actually.  I installed the drivers, I updated the connection settings, but when I placed the card into the PCMCIA slot, nothing happened.  I tried this, I tried that.  After a few days, and many frustrating hours - Heck, the thing worked on my laptop! - we finally consulted the HP site.  We looked up his model number, and started reading through the spec sheet.  OH!!!   -And then after calling HP, our worst "fear" was confirmed:  His particular laptop model was not built to handle wireless cards even though the software was "accepted".  Whatever processor, dip-switch, etc., that was needed to properly configure a wireless connection was not a part of his laptop's configuration.

If you'd like, feel free to e-mail me your specifics - model of your iPaq, which WiFi card you bought, which version of Windows Pocket PC you are running, etc.  I'll see what I can do on my end.

*And, finally, if Internet Explorer was not already present on your iPaq, that may be the tip-off that your iPaq does not have remote internet/wireless capability.

Such sad news today.  John Raitt's death was, of course, expected; but the loss of Sandra Dee came as a big surprise to me.

Wiring continues, but is almost finished.  The good new is that once the TV is in the house and on the stand, there are only a few wires that go directly into it.  Then he'll have to do all the TV set up stuff for me and show me how everything works.  I'm hoping since it's a Mitsubishi, that the remote is similar to my old Mitsubishi remote.  Surprisingly, it appears that I've had my old TV for almost four-and-a-half years.  I thought I'd only had it for three.

George, your card last night reminded me of this one I bought in Britain.  The caption reads:  "They were the perfect Valentine's couple - he danced like a tw#t and she looked like one."  I've never sent it because I can't bear to part with it.  It was one of those moments where I guffawed out loud when I picked it up.  I'm thinking of framing it.

That's hysterical!  I saved the picture and use the caption as the file name! ;)

Well, we've missed our second window of opportunity to get the new TV in and the old TV out in the brief little respites from the rain.  It is now pouring once again.  I HATE THIS RAIN!  SOMEONE TURN IT OFF!

ERUMPENT!

What I love ,George, is I didn't include the original caption and then bleeped the potentially offending word, but if you look at the name under which I saved the picture...the offendng word is right out there.

I just began reading the Sunday paper, and on the front page it says  “In a year of record rainfall….”

Yesterday there was a picture of the City of Studio.

I read an article about Barry Manilow on Newsweek recently. It reminded me of him, a lot I’d listened Mandy long ago. They say the opinions would be divided into two, he saved the music of the 70s or he spoiled. And now I’m wondering if he is the one who has been respected by people or has made a laughingstock of himself, as a musician… In the interview even he made a joke knocking himself every 10 minutes. But I think he is talented.

Barry's seventies work is terrific.  

Wiring is now just about through, and testing of same begins.  Then TV comes in.  Meanwhile, Juliana and dad are out getting us food and we'll dine here so we're not rushed.

Hmm... I really must have reset my internal body clock - Circadian (sp?) rhythm.  It's only past 10:00, and I'm already feeling drowsy.  Who knows?  Maybe exercise is not all it's cracked up to be.

Open question to anyone who uses Adelphia for the Cable service and has their HD package.

Programs that are presented in widescreen, do you get gray bars on top and bottom or does the whole picture fit the screen?

Running theme on ANGEL is that Angel himself is a big Barry Manilow fan. . . .
The only Daisy I'm gonna need this week will be in Tuesday's mail. . .a certain Ms. Gamble.  She's arriving with Mssrs. Michaelangelo and Francis of Assisi. . .  ;)

We've had rain all day, too, but it was only drizzle all day; not monsoons. We had that about three years ago when I thought my house was going to float away. We got a year's worth of rain in less than a month.

The SNL special was very interesting.  I liked the world/cultural background, well, what was going on in the world and culturally when the show first started.

The segment on Gilda Radner... I still miss her, but her characters still make me laugh.

In retrospect, after all the admitted drug use and abuse, it's sort of amazing that only one original cast member, John Belushi, died from drug abuse.

Yep, I should be receiving at some point this week Ms. Daisy Gamble with the atrocious Yves Montand ruining what could have been a wonderful movie musical/ I'm sorry, but I think he is worse than terrible in this movie.

I think what DR Michael is asking is are high definition network broadcasts shown full screen or do you still see letterboxing when high definition programs play?

Well, folks, since I'm already very sleepy and tired... And since I'm hoping to have a productive day tomorrow - even though it is a holiday, albeit a Federal one...  Off to the Land of Wussburgers I go...

BK - Hope the new TV looks just the way you hope it will look.  Even better!  And hope you had a nice dinner with Juliana and her father.

Goodnight.

I am so excited about the NEW tv!  We must see photos once it is in operation.

Rain rain rain here as well....but not in torrents - home of the Beach Boys.

DR JMK I bid on a copy of Jack El Hai's book on EBAY.  

DR LAURA What a lot of flowers! A Leslie Bricusse reference.

Pretty dog, DRTD!

Congratulations on your kiss from Hayley.  It's always nice having your fantasies come to life.  She is a lovely and extremely talented woman.

Today was sunny, however the rain in California is supposed to hit us in a day or two.

I read the notes, but haven't read the posts yet.  Doe s anyone know which Simpson character came out tonight?

TV is up and running but still being configured.  Had a lovely dinner with Juliana and dad.  I think another fifteen minutes or so it will be done.  There are a few new things to learn fromt the way the old TV worked.  He'll show me everything momentrarily.  We had Star Wars on and I must say it looks incredibly sharp in a way the other TV never did.  It's a very different kind of image, however, and my eyes have to get used to it after five years of the other.

Hello all! I am hopefully back for awhile. I am still quite busy, but I will try to keep up with things. Things have officially fallen through for me going to New York for PennyO's show. My parents came up to see me in Godspell this past weekend, and stayed the night up here in a  hotel. They let me know today that my grandma just found out she has breast cancer and it has matasticized in her liver and if I remember right they think it might be in the bone. There will be more definitive test results coming back soon, but my mom is a nurse who works with cancer patients who are dying and she thinks it is only a matter of time. We'll know just what is going on with the next set of test results so I could definitely use some good vibes for my family. It's very sad but I have been very lucky to be surrounded by such supporting and loving people so I have been doing well so far.
