Mom’s not doing well. She’s tested positive for covid and they still don’t know the source of the internal bleeding. She’s weak, so they’re keeping her for a while. The sound of her monitor is still driving her crazy.

DR John G, I’m sorry the news isn’t better.  Your mother remains in my prayers.

[ChasSmith]

Greetings from a lofty LOFT.

I'm so sorry, DR JohnG. Sending prayers and good wishes her way.

Ir's been a busy morning and early afternoon. I had a lot of iTunes cleanup to deal with, a coup[le of deliveries t bring up and put away. I've discovered a new fave cooking show on PBS: Welcome to my Farm. It makes me want to drag out my walker, go to Maine, and havre some lobster, clams, and oysters.

[John G.]

I am home from the wars, er, the competition.

[Jane]

DR John I forgot about Have Gun Will Travel.  It should have been on my list.

[Jane]

I also forgot about The Andy Griffith Show.

From DR TCB:
I have never seen A GENTLEMAN’S AGREEMENT.    Have you read it?  If not I suggest watching the movie, unless you don't like the wonderful cast.

A year ago today, I learned my friend Karla Burns, a comic force of nature and the best Queenie in Show Boat since Hattie McDaniel, had just died in Wichita. In 1989 she was my date to see the concert of the Villa Lobos operetta Magdalena that was later recorded, and on our way home we had to stop at the Papaya hot dog stand at Broadway and 72nd Street because she wanted a snack before bed. I thought she was going to buy the place out. She had no illusions about her size.

Her career was going strong with Show Boat productions all over, a broadcast of The Comedy of Errors from Lincoln Center Theatre, and more when a car hit her in Central Park on her way to a rehearsal and she returned to Wichita for surgery. I lured her out to Chicago to be the comediemnne in a concert of Eublie Blake's Tan Manhattan, where she sang the double entendre songs like "My Handy Man Ain't Handy Any More." I always hoped we'd work together again. I loved her.

Just because I like a kitten with attitude.

From TCB:

You are correct.  I did not answer the door, but I also didn’t sleep for the rest of the night.  I kept expecting to hear glass breaking.

Yes, I would have had trouble sleeping as well.

[Jane]

From Tom:

Actually M*A*S*H does have lyrics.  They were written for the film.

But not used for the tv series, right?

[Jane]

DR TCB I also didn't get the "it has finally happened" joke.

[Jane]

The hotel pool was cold and overchlorinated. I was back in the room in less than half an hour.

Not fun. 

[Jane]

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were up and down, and now it is time for you to post until the up and down cows come home.

Funny thing about cows: We have been haviing Facebook posts recently about cows wandering down Highway 19.  Four or five of them.  Folks have been speculating that someone is letting them out as a joke either on the owner or the public.

It has been going on for about a week.

Oh, I hope the cows are having fun.

I am so sorry.  Have you found out why her monitor continues to beep? 

[Jane]

MEGA VIBES FOR THE MOTHER OF DR JOHN!

[Jane]

I am home from the wars, er, the competition.

The timing of this was rather bad.  Aside from your "distractions", how was the competition?

~~~Continued Vibes for John's Mom!!~~~

[singdaw]

Good afternoon, friends.

[singdaw]

DR John G., sorry the news isn't better about your mom. May things only improve from here.

[singdaw]

DR elmore3003, I have a friend whose mother was in the chorus of the original production of Magdalena.

Mom might get released today, but she doesn’t want to go. And her blood pressure is high. If it remains high, they’ll keep her overnight.

Yes. Because she is covid positive, they keep her door closed. The loud monitor is supposed to be heard through the closed door.

[John G.]

Oy.

[John G.]

Nice story about Karla Burns, Elmore. She was a gem as a performer. I can imagine she was even more so as a person.

[Jane]

I hope they keep her.  I expect the noise of the monitor will keep her pressure up.

At least there is a good reason.  They must have ear plugs or something they can give her.
