My dad used to quote a poem he learned in school.   

This is it:

Theophilus Thistle, the Thistle Sifter, Sifted a sieve of unsifted thistles.
If Theophilus Thistle, the Thistle Sifter, Sifted a sieve of unsifted thistles,
Where is the sieve of un-sifted thistles Theophilus Thistle, the Thistle Sifter, sifted?

Watching The Univited. What fun.

I first saw that film on the late show when I was in high school, around 1963. I stayed up by myself to watch it and nearly died from fright when Ray Milland confronted the evil ghost of Mary. I can't believe i've forgotten her last name. The next day i went to the public library and checked out the novel.  it's still one of my favorite movies.

Friday morning greetings!  I have an appointment with a new cardiologist today - no problems, just looking for someone closer to home.  After that I'll go see my Mom before the snowstorm and our Monday departure to Atlanta.

~~~Appointment Vibes for Ginny!!~~~

Thank you, DR George.  It went quite well and resulted in my canceling my annual appointment with the cardiologist who took care of me when I had my heart attack.  This new guy told me more about the dissection than I'd ever heard and adjusted one of my meds because my pulse and blood pressure are too low.  I'll have a stress test the day after we get back from Atlanta.

DR Jane, it has been pretty nice up this way, also!

I'm enjoying the sunny pleasant days but we sure need rain.  Are you also experiences windy days?

Good Afternoon... or is it evening?   Is evening 5:00 or 6:00?

I just went through my Barnes & Noble wish list to see if my eBook library got in any of the books.  I only found one I could remove from B&N & move to the library wish list.  Why I suddenly realized I didn't have "Divergent" on my library hold list I don't know.  I suppose better late than never, however, I can't put a hold on it until my next books become available and the queue is extremely long.

Nice but won't your insurance cover this?

Will it just be for getting around your neighborhood?  It won't fit in your car-right?

Back from all the stuff.  Of course, I tried to log on earlier and couldn't - apparently we were down for over three hours, which is the last straw, I'm afraid, and they either have to move us to another data center or fix this crap once and for all.  Must write now, but more later.

Back from Cabaret, which was absolutely a top-quality, grade-A production. The sold-out house received it quite warmly.

It will come apart in four or five pieces so that it will fit in the trunk of my car.  The heaviest piece will be lighter than my current wheelchair.
