DR Jeanne, what a lovely gift from a fellow diner.
That sort of gesture restores my faith in humanity.

DR Jane, am sorry to hear about Keith’s diagnosis and the upcoming ordeal.
Basal and squamous cell skin cancers have very successful cure rates when caught early, so I am optimistic.

Not impressed with the dermatologist who didn’t notify you immediately.
Shameful.

I think your decision to choose radiation is wise.
High cure rate, no scarring or pain.

DR Chas, I watched The Conversation for the first time right after Cindy Williams passed away.
I,too, found the film very powerful and well executed.
No pun intended.
Or maybe it was? 😊

Elmore, this Tom Jones is pleasant enough, but it has shown no reason to be four hours long. Each episode seems padded by about 10 minutes apiece.

I agree, John G., about Paxton’s impeachment.
A good day for our system of justice.

Lunch was really fun - when the bill came, I left my cc to pay, then went and used the loo. When I came back the cc was still there so I asked told our server he could go run it and pay the check. And he said, it's already paid for and he pointed to these two super nice fellows who'd sung happy birthday. I couldn't believe it. And as dear reader Iris said, it restores one's faith in humanity. And other than an obnoxious text in the morning, this day has been very nice. A check I wasn't expecting for another two weeks arrived and that's helpful. No traffic anywhere.

Bruce and I had a lovely lunch — luncheon, if you prefer. Good food, interesting conversation, and the fellow at the next booth bought our meal! Everyone singing Happy Birthday was a bit of a giveaway, but still very kind and unexpected.

Very kind and unexpected :)

I like that they sung happy birthday to you.

Jane, mega vibes to Keith for the skin cancer treatment.

Thank you.  Having two at once motivated him want to find an alternative to surgery.

We agree it was shameful for her not to contact him.

She had told him to make another appointment in five weeks to go over his issues.  I suspected he was going to get his results then but he didn't believe me since that was not the reason she made the appointment.  Sure enough, the assistant asked if he wanted to cancel his follow up visit since that was to give him the results of the biopsy.

Who waits five weeks to tell you there is cancer!  With all my positive diagnosis, if the margins have not all been removed, they got me back into the office as soon as possible.

Just figured out this Tom Jones. And sorry I am slow. It’s written and directed by women and is largely told from their point of view. What happens to women with and without money.
