PAGE SIX

[Ginny]

Saturday afternoon greetings!  Thought I’d better check in to let you know that my throat did not swell shut overnight and we didn’t have to go to the ER.

Oh goodness, you said hives.  I didn't imagine that.  Did you also have swelling with the hives when you called the doctor?  I am glad you did not have to go to the ER.

No, DR Jane, I only had red splotches.  But in her message back to me, the doctor warned me about what to watch for.

[Ginny]

DR Ginny how are you today?  Has your reaction to the meds improved?  Is your covid improving?

Yes to both.  Well, my reaction hasn’t gotten worse, anyway.  Richard and I are both sounding better.

[Ginny]

Saturday afternoon greetings!  Thought I’d better check in to let you know that my throat did not swell shut overnight and we didn’t have to go to the ER.

How long is the drive from your new home to the Big Hospital?

4.5 miles, DR Elmore.  Not that much farther than from our old house and with fewer traffic lights.

[John G.]

I'll take a peach melba over a rubber ducky.

I would too.

[John G.]

DR Jane, many many years ago I used to do a step class at the gym with a workout leader and pumping music. I was the only male in the class.

I pretended I was auditioning for A Chorus Line.

Or Stepping Out.

[John G.]

DR John G., thought you might find this tidbit interesting:

On March 3, the Basel Sinfonietta presents "#Metoo, Hitchcock," the world premiere of a new film score by Moritz Eggert for Alfred Hitchcock’s silent film classic "Blackmail." It will be conducted by new Principal Conductor Titus Engel, whose October debut in Basel and two guest appearances at the Ruhrtriennale in Bochum drew rave reviews and sold-out houses. The premiere will take place as part of the 3rd subscription concert at Burghof Lörrach (Germany). The concert will be recorded as a co-production with ZDF/ARTE and 2eleven music film and broadcast on ARTE at a later date.

Interesting.

OK.  I can imagine you just worried about it all night.

[Jane]

Good news regarding you are both feeling better.  Are the red splotches uncomfortable.  I was thinking you would be itching terribly.

[singdaw]

I was thinking a lot of DRs can currently say, "We're in for a cold spell."

[singdaw]

And they wouldn't be wrong.

[singdaw]

Unless they're inside DR elmore3003's apartment.

[Jane]

[Jane]

It is cold in my office.

[elmore3003]

DR elmore3003, are you aware of this forthcoming release?

I was not, but he isn't singing Elgar's wonderful song cycle!

[singdaw]

Beautiful, DR elmore3003! I was not aware of this song cycle. Thank you. Janet Baker sounds sublime.

[Jane]

I swear my office is the coldest room here.  I have a travel clock with a thermastat that says it is 64 degrees.  Our main thermastat is set at 68 degrees. 

[singdaw]

It looks like her rendition is on an album paired with Jacqueline du Pre's rendition of the cello concerto.

Birthday party is over and was a rousing success for a three-year-old.

They had tons of kids and adults, a bounce house with slide (!!), hot dogs with all the trimmings includign chili, a huge cake and vanilla ice cream.

We elder adults caught up, met new folks and had a good time.  The kids went completely bonkers.

I got home around 4 p.m.  I have napped and am fairly well rested up.

Such a departure from my normal day!

[singdaw]

I think I've mentioned this before, but living in an apartment building, the radiant heat from the other units means that we never have to turn on our own heat all winter, even when it's 0 outside.

[singdaw]

That sounds like a delightful day, DR Ron Pulliam. Including, but not limited to, the nap.

[Ron Pulliam]

My favorite classical piece is Elgar's "Enigma Variations".  My preferred performance is Sir John Barbirolli performed by the Philharmonia.

Bought LP in London in November 1973.  I have listened to "other" performances, but all suffer by comparison to my ears.

[Ron Pulliam]

That sounds like a delightful day, DR Ron Pulliam. Including, but not limited to, the nap.

Most especially!!!

[singdaw]

There are apparently lots of great stories about Barbirolli as a conductor.

I think I've mentioned this before, but living in an apartment building, the radiant heat from the other units means that we never have to turn on our own heat all winter, even when it's 0 outside.

In my apartment in Vicenza, Italy (1973-75), I was cold almost all winter.  That was because the heat was only turned on during the day when I was at work.  They didn't mind me paying my portion of the heating bill, but I never benefitted from the heat.

In my apartment in Naples, Italy (1975-77), I had a ground floor apartment...BUT, the basement of the building was a laundry.  I was NEVER cold and my heating bill was practically nothing.

My office is the coldest room as I have two outside walls.

It seems to me it should have been in reverse, with the heat off during the day and on at night.

One more.
