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

TOD

Growing up on the East Coast, most movies set in Los Angeles beckoned me.
Blue skies, gorgeous beaches, soft only-in-California light proved to be irresistible. So I moved there, immediately upon college graduation.

DR Elmore, thank you for offering your words of wisdom.

I am trying to work up some courage in order to have that conversation.

One of the problems is that I have a difficult time holding back tears.

 This was the first year that I knew almost nothing about the Oscar nominated films.

I suppose that my tastes have changed. Or the target audience has changed.

Or both.

My parents allowed me to stay up late to watch the Academy Awards when I was young.
It was fun, and we watched together as a family.
That would be impossible now.
Am thankful for the memories.
Miss the elegance, humor, and manners.

DR Iris, you're very welcome. The most I can wish any friend whose parent is dying is that the passing be swift and painless as possible, It's what I wish for myself. You can have your conversation with the tears. Every word you speak will be filled with compassion, love, and concern. After the first time, which can be truly upsetting, it gets easier, but the pain and grief will never leave.

Today is my appointment with my new accountant. I'm still rather angry that my accountant of the past 30+ years has dropped me to concentrate on the clients he works with as financial planner/adviser, and I'm hoping my new accountant - who was my former accountant's recommendation - works out.

My mother had to do this with Dad. I think the problem there was my sister who wouldn’t accept it or let him go. She kept saying he was getting better. He was lucid. He was fine. She then blamed the center for bad treatment.
