This afternoon we went to the beautiful little medieval town of Obidos.  On the return drive to the ship we drove through the city of Lisbon.   We are looking forward to our 5 night stay. 



I love Lisbon. Have some pasteis de nada or Pasteis de Belem for me.

And if you see lobster soup on the menu, don't think twice. One of the most heavenly things I've ever eaten.

So, there's a film version of LaChuisa's Hello, Again with Audra McDonald. Sounds interesting.

I saw that, too.  I really like the original off-Broadway cast recording.

I am finding the Photobucket thing incredibly frustrating and impossible. Pop up ads, and it is just taking forever to try to resize a photo.

That's why I never post photos here any more.

I completely understand your frustration, Laura.  If someone wanted to pay ::) it would be less frustrating, but it's free.

It's easy to post photos here directly - when we switched to our new company we upped the storage for photos - or use tinypic, which is excellent and free and EASY.

Listening to a new (to me) set of the Shostakovich symphonies, which I'm enjoying.  Rostropovich is the conductor.  I think I may prefer the sound on my Barshai set, however, but these are very nice performances.

Sure doesn't feel like a Friday, sure feels like a Saturday due to the early cleaning lady appearance.

I do not eat lobster or other shell fish.  What are the fist 2 items you mentioned?

We had Cinco de Mayo fixin's today...in the conference room next to me.  Lots of good food.  Lots of happy people.  There was plenty of food from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

I had some good stuff.  I just took my blood glucose reading and it was 158.  My "acceptable" range is 100-150.  So given what I ate for lunch, I can live with being 8 over the top of my acceptable range.

Ron, I'm really glad you had the chest pain checked out. A clean bill of health! Great! I hope you soon find the source of your fatigue and are able to correct it. I often get caught in the exercise catch-22 myself.

Friday morning greetings!  We've been to Mason, OH, in the pouring rain for my final follow-up appointments with the doctor who did my cataract surgery.  He said I get an A+ and he doesn't need to see me until January for a regular exam.

Yay!

Double Yay!!  At my eye exam yesterday, the eye doctor said that my cataracts haven't changed at all since last year, and he was really surprised (they're very early in development anyway).  He said that there's usually some kind of change, but he didn't notice that they were any different.  I guess that that's good.

Yes, that's good. My cataracts developed very slowly. But they can speed up, so it's important to have your eyes checked yearly.

How?  I thought we lost  that ability when we all stopped being "gods"

Randy is home?!  Wow!  I thought for sure he would be in the hospital for some time.  Vibes for a quick recovery

Ron I understand your mixed feelings, it's a relief they found nothing , on the other hand if they don't find anything they can't fix it
