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

There's definitely something hinky going on with HHW, still.

I hit "post" and the screen freezes.  If I close the window and come back to HHW, I can see that it posted. Not happening to me on any other websites.

I went to bed at 9:00, and set the alarm for 6:30. Today will be a ME day, and I feel I deserve it. I plan to do little as possible and spend the day lying about, watching mindless TV, and not much else. Tomorrow and Monday I will work on my taxes. Tuesday and Wednesday I finish my radiation, and my life returns to what was status quo pre-2022.

I just received the worst news about a friend, a reeds player in these parts I've played with many times. Her daughter, 21, was killed yesterday evening in what is so far a completely unexplained shooting in upstate New York. I think they don't even have a suspect yet. This is unimaginable, and vibes for her family would be most welcome.

If you wish, google "SUNY Potsdam shooting" and it'll be there.

Thanks, Larry.  I'll contact my eye doctor place first and see if they're still under warranty.  If they are, I might be able to get whole new frames, but I don't know, yet.

Have had a busy day.  Got up late, went to get my mail, got a bite of lunch, came home.  I watched an hour of TV and then called WalMart who said my prescriptions were ready.  I don't believe my insurance company relented but WalMart's pharmacist told me I could get the expensive meds for 50% off.  Not sure how that worked, but I have a receipt I can submit for reimbursement should the insurance company finally agree to pay.

Meantime, all the same meds are being filled by the VA and they will be mailed to me anon.

While I was at WalMart, I walked around waiting for the pharmacy folks to take a half-hour lunch break.  I saw many things I had not seen before.

Sadly, I saw very few CD recordings, but a larger LP selection, with the prices being ridiculously high.  If I am going to pay $25 for a new LP, it needs to come with a quality-assurance guarantee of some sort.

Oh! Bruce, you mentioned you might cut JACKIE-O from LA NOW AND THEN. What's the second song?

Vibes Richard Allen finds the songbook.

No, I'm still here.

I used to worry about my eyes because I was so near-sighted. Then one eye doctor explained that you can have healthy eyes, but need glasses to correct your vision, and that my eyes were healthy. I wish more practitioners took the time to address patients' fears.

They have never been able to completely correct my vision with glasses, but that is nothing new.

I was hungry after the gym and couldn't resist the Girl Scout cookies at the market entrance.  Aside from having shrunk to about half the size, the Samoas didn't taste very good.  Keith agreed.  After eating two I felt sick, probably just me as Keith is fine.

I hadn't purchased Scout cookies for me to personally eat in awhile, but since they now have the environmentally friendly palm oil I thought I would get a couple of boxes.

Have taken two of the four meds.  The spray leaves a foul taste, as the doctor warned.  He said I will get used to it but warned me to rinse my mouth after using it.  I did.  Still taste it.

Keith controls the tv.  There are so many stations, and too many ways to access the different shows that I have no interest in working the system.  As a result I don't always remember which shows are on which station and had to do a Google search.

Oh! Bruce, you mentioned you might cut JACKIE-O from LA NOW AND THEN. What's the second song?

Vibes Richard Allen finds the songbook.

The second song is The 1962 Dodgers - ironically, both songs are by the same person and I didn't think either of them really worked well enough in the show.
