I sent an email to my goddaughter Emily asking her to read it to Pam if there was the possibility that we would not get a chance to speak on the phone. Emily wrote me this morning.
I was able to read your email to my mom and she reminisced and smiled. Hospice stepped in to help on Monday and she is sleeping peacefully for the most part. She is ready.
Austin police seem to have found a bombing suspect, who blew himself up rather than be apprehended.
Why do I think this story isn’t done yet?

DR Elmore, this is very sweet and my heart goes out to Emily and all who love Pam. Hugs to you...

I think I lost two or three IQ points yesterday. I don't really have many to spare.
DR Ginny, did Rob and Mary Linda get to Cincinnati?
Hi DR Ron 😊
I remember seeing Disney's animated THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME years ago and not being too impressed with it.
I did not know they had turned it into a stage musical. However, if they can make money with it "out-of-town," why not?
Years ago, I recall my clients, lyricist Paul Francis Webster and composer Sammy Fain, did something similar with a stage version of CALAMITY JANE, which had won them a "Best Song" Oscar for "Secret Love". When the show was adapted to the stage, they made a decision NOT to take the play to Broadway. They were doing great with it in regional and summer stock theaters and, according to Webster, if it had played New York and received bad reviews, that would have killed it.
Later, I believe, it was done as a television special with Carol Burnett.
Why do I think this story isn’t done yet?
Sigh, you could be right :(

The stories I’m reading now are saying more bombs could be out there.

The Calamity Jane with Carol Burnett is a real joy, obviously very different from Doris Day. I prefer it.
Hi DR Ron 😊
As we say down here: "Hey"!
DR Jane--to answer your question from yesterday, no, I'm not going home yet. Thanks for your concern! I'm at the airport now waiting for my flight to San Francisco. Lots of rain awaits me, apparently.
If I had been home today, I would have had the day off since the government is closed due to the snow. Since I'm in "leave status" I will still be charged for "annual leave."

Easy travels to and in SF.
DR Ginny, did Rob and Mary Linda get to Cincinnati?
Nope, they're still in Philadelphia. We're standing by in case they get flown into a different airport, like Dayton.
Just found out my flight is delayed from 10:10 am to 11:20 am.

I didn't get those vibes in fast enough. Hopefully you won't be delayed any longer.
Safe travel vibes for Rob and Mary Linda!

I misread the Chicago info. That was an option that did NOT develop. They’re now booked on a direct flight to Cincinnati tomorrow morning. Rob’s due at work at 7pm tomorrow...

ASK BK
Are you familiar with the music revue Dawgs that uses the Sherman Bros songs? I think it was done in LA around the time Cats first opened stateside and there was a cast album produced.
Would you consider re-releasing it?

Are you getting out for walks or any kind of exercise?

Oh, please! Does walking around WalMart count?
Had a "productive" afternoon inasmuch as I bought a new glider.
My mom had an eye appointment in Leesville, which is 19 miles down the road. My aunt came along. We had lunch at Wendy's and then we went to WalMart where I picked up some fixin's for spaghetti sauce.
Then, we went to the ophthalmologist which is directly across the street from Economy Furniture. I decided to have a look-see there. Found some rockers, but they were suited for porches and verandahs, not for bedroom/sitting rooms. I asked if they had others and told them what I was looking for.
They suggested I look at their gliders. Found JUST the one that will be perfect with my ottoman in my bedroom. I can set up my reading lamp, too, and read or watch TV in comfort.
Yay!

Here at the library, if we're on vacation and get sick or the building is closed for some reason (weather, power outage, etc., essentially when the administration decides to close the building for safety reasons), we can change our leave for that day and use our sick leave (which has no cap) or emergency leave. People were very happy when that policy was changed.

Crazy day again at work. After one episode my co-team leader and I went to get ice cream to make all right with the world. It was not to be.
Me: There’s no ice cream in the freezer!
Krista: Well, what do you want to do?
Me: Shoot Santa Claus!
Krista: There is no Santa Claus.
Me: And no ice cream. Argh!
Yesterday I returned to my dermatologist for a follow-up visit to take care of 2 biopsies that were not normal (not serious either as they were caught early). She also did a biopsy on a spot that had been sprayed but did not heal correctly which past experience tells me to be concerned. If it didn't hurt as well I would have said just spray it again, however, it did hurt so I opted for a biopsy. Fortunately she got it all out and I don't need to return until July.
today was one annoyance after another

They let us leave early today.

An hour and a half early.
Hugs to you, Elmore, on your friend. I am glad you had the chance to communicate with her. Prayers that her passing is peaceful.
Back from an interesting meeting - some egos to deal with but I'll be directing a big 90th birthday celebration concert for Richard Sherman this July.
Well, I'm outta here. I'm going to my sister's for a bit. My niece wants me to mow their lawn, but it might be too wet (he said, hopefully ;) ). We'll see.
Be back later.

I just came in from shoveling the steps and walkway. Pix on FB if anyone wants to help a gal out

I'm so glad you got good news, Jane.

I went to my sister's and it turns out that her boyfriend Larry mowed all of the front yard.

Because Vixmom can't figure out how to resize the pictures and this site keeps telling me the pictures are too large
Nice pictures, though!
It does make it easy for the pizza guy to find us though

Does this mean his health has improved?
This is Paisley. She is a maltipoo.
She came home with me today. A new adventure awaits as she is my first puppy. She is 3 1/2 months old
