Now I'm not going to say anything or start rumors.....but my guess is that if Bradley "wrote" any of MAESTRO, I wrote some of MAESTRO.

Should we start a write-in campaign?

As for being chased around the apartment - I think I remember what that was like.....but we could have both been just trying to find the bathroom.


Is that like in the song "to love pure and chased from afar"

So, I'm reading Don Quixote, and I'm now on chapter 35, which is page 305 (according to my Kindle), but it also days that I'm still only 32% of the way through! :o

My brother had a stack of letters and cards and notices about an inch thick that he had been receiving.

I sorted through them and found that he is indeed going to start receiving his Medicare on March 1. His Medicare card was in the best envelope!  Since he doesn't qualify for "extra" help and did want to opt out of anything - the rest left the building.

Then I talked to him about his prescriptions and his doctor and which hospital he always went to.  And he said IU HEALTH.  So I went to their website and clicked on "Medicare Advantage Plans" put in his zip code and county......and chose him a nice MAP with no monthly premium that should cover his needs well....and includes a few extra dental/eye/hearing benefits he may need someday.

Filled out the application and submitted it and it was accepted, so we shall see what the future brings.

I'm assuming his CareSource will end when Medicare starts.

Everyone should go to you to help set up their Medicare.

But I just realized that this Kindle version includes the Second Part of the Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, which is a completely separate book, so I'm really further along in the original book than I thought. :)

I ignore the screwy page numbers and go by percentage read.

He's so fortunate to have you taking care of these things for him!

TOD: What is the absolute best fried chicken you’ve ever had?

Well, I have never had fried chicken that I found to be OMG incredibly good.  The reason is that my family had a woman that worked for us on Mondays.  Monday's I would return home to the smell of dinner cooking.  She alternated between three dishes, Oxtail stew, spareribs, and fried rabbit.

If we had guests for dinner on friend rabbit day we learned to tell them it was fried chicken or they would freak out.  They ALWAYS said it was by far the best fried chicken they ever had. 

My OMG, indredibly good, best fried chicken was actually fried rabbit cooked by an incredibly good cook.

That's funny!  I'm not a fan of fried chicken (the bones gross me out :o ), so you wouldn't have had to lie to me about what it was. ;)

;D

This morning Keith dropped me off to have blood work done.  Once I was done I walked over to the gym and used the treadmill.  The sidewalks were nice and clear and ice free :)

It has been a year since I did my last A1C and I am very nervous about the results.  It will be my fault if they are bad.

Before walking into the building I was able to check into the lab by texting.  In about five minutes my name was called, which was a relief as there were lots of people in the waiting room.  It pays to make an appointment first.

No. It’s all part of one book. Everything back then was printed in multiple volumes. Keep reading.

I didn't realize/remember this.  I read it a long time ago all in one substantial sized book.  I don't think we have our copy any more to look at it.
