All the men of my mother's side of the family were golfers. Going back, her grandfather and her father were greenskeepers. One of my uncles ended up being a greenskeeper as well. I'd like to say that I've never set foot on a golf course, but, while the tv-movieTHE TEN MILLION DOLLAR GETAWAY was being filmed in and around Pittsburgh, my one shooting day as an extra involved a bar, a bowling alley, a club house and a golf course! And though only contracted for the 6am call at the bowling alley, my day ended at the golf course at midnight. . .I'm quite visible in all my "atmosphere" scenes in this film. . .To misquote ANNIE, " but I've never even picked up a golf club!"I have no interest at all in the sport, but, in hi-def, those greens sure are G-R-E-E-N! My relatives would have been proud.

DR Cilla, Have fun at your reunion. Maybe not being excited is good, no expectations & you will be more relaxed.
DR Jane - Will you be in Philadelphia next week? Say, like next Tuesday? Just wondrin'.
Has anyone heard anything from Danise? I am really getting worried.

We could all go send Danise a PM right now....maybe she'd get the hint we miss her.
Here is today's NY Times obituary for George Weissman, aged 90. He worked for Phillip Morris, and, in retirement, headed Lincoln Center.My DH's aunt, who passed away herself within the past year, served as his assistant for roughly 40 years.

Good morning, all! Much as I hate to lay more bad news on DR Ron Pulliam early in the day, I will say only that I had a very sleepless night in which no amount of Vicodin or Flexeril could relieve enough pain to allow me to sleep. Tomorrow's the doctor, so we'll see what happens then.I also had a frustrating day with Life Begins At 8:40; the copyists are making what I consider judgment calls without asking me for clarification on my layout sheets and that frustrates me since a number has to be redone vocally before I can proof it and sign off on it. That was the second biggest issue yesterday. I cannot go into the first one because it would cause too many problems within my team on the project.I always thought golf was a ridiculous sport, right up there with football.
