I see I have three DVDs of "The Medium," the film with Marie Powers and Anna Maria Alberghetti, a Canadian broadcast with Maureen Forrester, and a German broadcast.

Saturday afternoon greetings!  I've been to see Tina for a much-needed haircut.  If I'm reading my eye surgery info correctly, the next time I visit her I'll be able to see in the mirror without my glasses...

Will you will have both your distance and reading vision corrected?

If you are talking about the wi-fi box thingie that sits on your shelf and blinks, there should be a password on it somewhere. Unless you changed it.

Thus endeth everything I know about wi-fi box thingies.

It's also time for me to take a shower, get dressed, and head to Hawks Prairie restaurant to meet with our very own TCB, Jane, and Jane's everlovin' Keith, and TCB's friends, Sharry and Micheal.  I'm sure we'll dish the dirt and have a grand time. :D

After that, I'll go to my sister's for more visting with the cousin, then I'll be off to the theater.

Have a great day, all!

Will you will have both your distance and reading vision corrected?

By paying somewhat beyond what Medicare covers, I think they can correct my distance vision and my astigmatism.  I will still need reading glasses, but will probably be able to get by with OTC rather than prescription ones.

My big question is: will anyone recognize me without my glasses?

I've been listening to the Columbia recording of "The Medium" and "The Telephone."  That final duet for Lucy and Ben, "Don't forget   
  . . . yes? . . . my number!" is so beautiful and funny. 
"Where are you, my darling?"
"I'm terribly near you, right next to your ear."

And I finished "The Hot Patata" so I need to let Rob know I'm ready for another.

The rain is still falling and the water has little or no place to go. The entrance of my neighborhood looked like a flowing stream that was at least a foot deep.

And it will rain, according to the meteorologist app I have, until Tuesday.

A BIG CONGRATS to DR Elmore on his new Encore's gig. That sounds right up your alley. Sounds really great, too.

A BIG CONGRATS to TCB, too. I had no idea TCB was a juggernaut. I didn't realize we had juggernauts at HHW. But I have no doubt that all the praise was most merited.

More CONGRATS to DR John G on his excellent test results. (We can't say "positive" results, because positive is negative and negative is positive.) Vibes for continued success.

DR Ginny, my eye surgeries were a year earlier than I expected, too. I went in for a preliminary consultation with the surgeon and he wanted to go ahead. At UCLA they plan three months in advance, so if you miss the window you can be stuck for a bit.

As for people recognizing you without glasses, you'll probably be advised to wear sunglasses without fail, as the surgery leaves your eyes sensitive to light. Whether they recognize you or not, you'll look cool.

I do believe the planets are in utter chaos. All my friends seem to be ailing. Methinks BK left Holst too early. Or something.

I came late to the Beatles. In high school, my friend Ethelinn/Lulu (isn't she in KRITZER TIME as Lolo?) was screaming her head off over them, but I've never liked rock. It was only years later when I heard orchestral versions that I realized how lovely the music is.

It's time for some lunch. I'd like enchiladas, but will probably settle for some soup.

Yes, DR Jeanne, sunglasses are a must for me.  Mom has macular degeneration and wearing sunglasses is one if the measures advised to reduce the risk.  At least I might be able to use OTC sunglasses instead of the pricey prescription ones I've worn since college.
