Thank you, DR Jane - the photo really doesn't do the necklace justice.

I am home from Jason's show, which was quite fun. I saw some wonderful people like Mary Testa, Karen Mason, Natalie Douglas, Jim Morgan, Alex Rybeck, Klea Blackhurst and several I'd rather not have. I did see Andy Taylor and Alet, and that was great. I really love John Boswell's playing, and he and Jason have a good rapport.

And now I'm going to bed. I have another long day tomorrow.

And the supplies to finish the ceiling are arriving on Wednesday!

Actually made it to Braille tonight for the first time in ages, and with a small crew, we managed to make five lengthy books tonight. Just in time to take the summer off.

Before that, I got to the gym for the first time in about 3 weeks. I managed to get 45 minutes of rowing and elliptical nonsense in. Felt good. Need to do it more.

When I came home, I meant to write up an abstract of my paper, which is about the last thing I need to do. That and the table of contents.

But, a copy of the book with photos in it arrived via email and all I could do was leaf through it.

Some of the photos do not look as if they have been touched up at all. Some looked wonderful, like I could lick the screen for all that barbecue. It turned out to be 266 pages long and there's a large picture of the Das Barbecu CD cover in there somewhere amid the ribs and sausages and briskets -- oh, my!

Hello, Gentle Dear Readers.

Just back from our road trip, so haven't caught up yet. I also wanted to let you all know that tomorrow morning I will be having some surgery. Nothing critical or dire, but necessary. And it is outpatient, so I should be home by mid afternoon. But I may not be up to logging on at that point, so I didn't want anyone to be alarmed at my absence between the trip and the medical stuff.

Hope to rejoin you all at the earliest opportunity!

If I had written that sentence it would have said:Before that, I got to the gym for the first time in about 51/2 years. I managed to get 5 minutes of rowing and elliptical nonsense in. Ambulance came and took me away .

I've spent several hours today rehanging the curtains in the upstairs bedrooms. I've had them from the dry cleaners for weeks, but just now got around to that task. As I was finishing the second window in the first room, I realized that they're backwards (design-wise), but at least they match. In the second room, I got them right and, by the time I was finishing the fourth and final window, I'd gotten the hang of it. Eventually I'll correct my mistake, but for now they're OK.

And I only used a few words unbecoming to a Vicar's wife!

The hang of it! ROTFLMAO!

That's pretty cool, John...especially about the "Das Barbecü" CD!

Dan I am having a really hard time writing this to you - your situation makes me so very angry. People tell me I am a socialist or a communist when I talk about universal health care such as they have in Canada. They tell me ridiculous stories about Canadians crossing the border to obtain superior US health care.... well my husbands family lives in Canada - and the care they all receive under the universal health care is far superior to the health care we have available to us at great cost

It is a crime that you have to worry about this when your only concern should be getting well. I wish there was something I could do to make it all better

Our rainy, cloudy weather has suddenly turned to lovely, sunny, spring weather today. Tomorrow, it turns summer with highs in the mid 80s!
