DR JOHN G - something you may not know:

Patricia Barry and the relatives of William Frawley were engaged in a rather bitter and sordid court battle over Frawley's estate....  He had left a LOT of his money to Barry and her children - his "long lost" relatives thought they should have it even though they were given small bequests in his will....

Barry ended up prevailing in court and got the $$$.  I think at the time she wanted it for her daughters' education.

I am doing the same.  I waited for the rain as not to waste any outdoor time during our glorious days.

It doesn't seem like the the relatives had much of a case.

I used the treadmill at the club house today.  I still might walk in the rain later.  Once a day getting soaked is enough, plus I can read while walking on the treadmill.

I am reading Mark Salzman's THE MAN IN THE EMPTY BOAT.  It is a memoir of a period in his life after his children were born and he suffered from writers block.  I am enjoying it very much, but then I expected to.  A number of years ago I heard him speak about this, prior to writing the book, and he was wonderful.

All that wasted energy.

I have a friend who's a dance instructor. He took care of one of his elderly clients. Her kids couldn't be bothered with her. When she died, she left her money to her kids, but she left her house to the instructor. They sued. He didn't have any money, so he just let them have it.

So, why was this site down between my last post and Jane's?  I returbed home from the doctor to emails from DRs Ginny and ChasSmith asking if the site was dead.  I've been trying to get on for over an hour.  I just rebooted my computer and here I am.

Yikes!  I'm glad HHW is all back up and running!

We had a shooter at large near the site where one of the offices I work out is moving. Scary.

There's been an all clear. But I have no other details.

Jane, here's the menu of one of my favorite Mexican places. The enchiladas de espinacas are righteous. The ceviche and the queso  fundido are great. Steve's margarita rules.

That's what the judge said DR JANE - in essence:  Where were you when your brother was sick and needed help?

That's a very sad and familiar story DR JOHN G.

I've written to find out what the problem was.  It will help if I give times so someone post exact times we were down.  Certainly I got up at around nine-thirty and have had no problems accessing the site.

Just heard - server crash due to memory problems.  We came back up at nine, and it was up and down a couple more times, but is fine now.

I posted last at 6:32am EST and DR ChasSmith sent me an email about the site while I was off to the doctor.  My email tells me it arrived in my email at 7:53am EST.

NY Times lawyer David McCraw sent an epic response to the lawyer of one Mr. Donald Trump re: the latter's demand for a retraction and apology.

Epic.

I couldn't access the site from about 9:15 a.m. until noon CT.
