Good morning, all! I finally got eight hours of sleep for the first tie in over a week, and I'm very happy. I'm not so happy about the schlep to Trinity Church on a cane, steps, and subway, but I have no choice. I had a fantastic time at yesterday's rehearsal, and I'm looking forward to the next three weeks of this project.
DR Singsong, I hope your surgery goes well today.
DR vixmom, I'm with you. The older I get, the more of a socialist I become. When I was in London in 1999, I needed an emergency room visit. I was in London for the JUBILEE rehearsals and broadcast performances, and I had just enough money to get hem. I was terrified of what this ER trip would cost me but I needed to see a doctor, and I saw a very pretty Scottish doctor in a hospital in Earl’s Court. I paid nothing, and my shock at this news seemed to amuse the clerk checking me out of the ER.
Having spent too many years in Manhattan struggling to keep up my health insurance premiums on my own, this was a blessing. I’ve lived nearly 68 years in this country, fed on the propaganda that the USA is the richest, best country ever, and it’s humiliating to see how misguided so much of the propaganda now appears. We can spend trillions on needless war and let our citizens rot, half the country diets and the other half starves. There's something wrng in this picture.
BK, I deliberately avoided the remake of ROSEMARY’S BABY. I have to deal with too much stupidity unaware to want to see something I already know is stupid and/or misguided.
