The narrator of my audiobook just pronounced the poem Don Juan as Don JEW-an.

Today is the birthday of my high school friend, and DR Ginny's husband, Richard. Eleven years ago we had this wonderful birthday celebration at the late, great Arties.


That looks like my shirt at the left in the photo, as well as my arm.  I still have the shirt, and the arm, to this day.

Today is preparation day.

Have done my first drop in the "operative eye".

I find I have to acquire some grape or cranberry juice.  As a diabetic, I take half a daily insulin dose tonight and drink 8 ounces of one of those two juices two hours before my 9:35 a.m. procedure.

Otherwise, that's it.  Dress comfortably; leave all valuables at home. 

Sending more surgery vibes, Ron!

I was at the Kritzerland Richard Sherman show that night.  I'm not sure if I went to the diner afterwards.

Skip and I went to the next night's Kritzerland show as well, in which a medley of two songs by Skip was (or is it "were" for a two-song medley?) included.

There was also an HHW gathering with Larry at a diner after several of us saw the show that Larry worked on in 2017, THE NEW YORKERS. 

John G was also there that afternoon. 

I have a photo of the group somewhere, with the NEW YORKERS poster in the background.

I can't find the photo of the group of us at THE NEW YORKERS in front of City Center, but I recall seeing it as if it were yesterday.

My thermostat says "Off" so I have to Google and see if I can fix it myself.

You didn't, but I also went back the next night and I remember you and Skip there as well.

That's when everyone was hanging out and relaxing afterward and I got that beautiful (in my opinion, at any rate) picture of Richard with not-so-little-any-more (I shall assume) Hadley Belle Miller. Which is on another drive and I can't get to it now.

MY question for ASK BK DAY......(and other HHW'ers.)

Do you speak/understand a language other than English?

I speak/understand Spanish - about 60%.

I also use Signed English Language.....but not ASL - American Sign Language - so much.

We got the youngsters their Canadian passports, so if we have to slip out of the U.S.  full-time, it shouldn’t be too difficile.

That's great but how do you slip out?

I believe we went to the Utopia on Amsterdam between 72 amd 73.

That sounds right. On Bing Maps it looked like it may be gone now, but I grabbed this street image from Google Maps. (I'm so happy when those sites don't get updated too quickly.)
