The problem with my sleeping is that my arthritic joints cannot get comfortable. Once I finally for to sleep. it was after I had tossed, turned, and tried many sleeping positions. I did dream that I was working with my dad at some construction company and my dad volunteered me to follow a co-worker home to allow him to take a car home. I would follow in his truck. I didn't know the vehicle or where the hell I was going. We got to the Lincoln Park area in Middletown when I lost him, and everything went to hell.

The news of DR Danise's death is very upsetting. The last time I saw her, we went to New York City Opera to see Gilbert & Sullivan's comic opera Patience, starring Michael Ball. She was a very kind - very innocent, too, in the ways of the world - lady dealt a shitty hand of cards by the gods and a rotten, manipulative mother.

A Scotsman walks into a bar. He notices an animal head mounted on the wall. He asks the bartender, "What's that?"

The bartender replies, "It's a moose."

The Scotsman's eyes widen, and he exclaims, "Bloody 'el. If that's a moose, I don't want to see yer rats!"

I only knew Danise from what were probably her later postings here, and she seemed like someone who truly had a very dark cloud hanging over her. The ripoff contractor situation rings a bell, and I think I recall a string of bad luck in various ventures being the norm…sad to say.

When we chatted briefly on the 31st she was tired having just returned from picking up prescriptions from the pharmacy.  I wondered why she was home.  That night she was back in the ER.

Saturday she told Thelma she was feeling a little better, just tired.  I hope she just went to sleep.

I survived physical therapy.

Yay.  Vibes you feel improvement tomorrow.  When do you return again?

In a week. I have to learn how to massage the fingers to prevent scar tissue.

That is important.

My reading choices have been rather sad, excellent books just sad ones.

First up was The Escape Artist: The Man Who Broke Out of Auschwitz to Warn the World.  As if the book wasn't difficult enough until he, and his friend, escaped.  Almost as depressing was what happened AFTER he warned the world.

Post by: Jane on January 09, 2023, 06:16:22 PM
Then I read The Measure which I found excellent, intriguing, and while scifi, it relates to what has been going on with our world.  The book was nominated for the Goodreads 2022 Science Fiction and best Debut novel.

Title: Re: RAVISHING RAVEL
Post by: Jane on January 09, 2023, 06:16:33 PM
I recommend both books.

Hi all - stopped in to say hi.  Things are going well.  I'm up to 2 dogs again, JP will turn 8 months in a few days.  He and Leo are the best of pals.  I'm thankful they get along so well.  Two peas in a pod.    It's nice to be able to do shows again, etc. teaching all day, shows at night - almost like the "before times".  All is well. 

Thanks for the update, Matthew!

This movie for the early 1030s doesn’t shy away from the horrors of war. The bombs and cannons and machine guns are belching nonstop. It’s relentless.
Title: Re: RAVISHING RAVEL
Post by: John G. on January 09, 2023, 07:29:51 PM
And then when it gets quiet, it’s even more horrifying, because the threat is so palpable.
