Hello again.
I’ve been quite ill for over a week. After my fall at work I developed excruciating pain in my neck and head. No pain medication will alleviate it. Because of workman’s I am waiting to see a orthopedic doctor but because of glitch in the website I’ve bee unable to fill out the necessary paperwork to see one. Sleep has been very difficult and sleep medication helps sleep for a few hours. Still walking with a cane.

Dear Readers, I survived the surgery, but my vision is so blurry I cannot see much of anything. Reading is even worse, so I cannot catch up with you for several days. I’ll post later, after I see my doctor.

We had a dusting of s**w this morning.

I am going to go to lunch with my cousin Carol today.  She was going to be here at 11:30 a.m.  She texted me and said she would be here at 11 a.m. instead and something else I didn't read because I didn't have my glasses on....she was doing something....so I texted "That works.  Have fun."

And she said:  "Okay....."

I just read her text - she's going to the viewing for a friend's mother who passed away.

That is like the paddle wheel cruise on the the Columbia and Snake Rivers.  I thought that would be fun.  The lowest price cabin for a seven-night cruise starts at $5,999.00 per person.

WTF??

We met people who took the cruise and said it was wonderful.  We could actually walk over to the boat with our luggage if we couldn't get a ride.  But exactly, that price tag ;D

Because of workman’s I am waiting to see a orthopedic doctor but because of glitch in the website I’ve bee unable to fill out the necessary paperwork to see one. Sleep has been very difficult and sleep medication helps sleep for a few hours. Still walking with a cane.

I am very sorry you are getting worse instead of better.  That glitch has got to be terribly frustrating.  Good vibes you can get into see the specialist.

Back from a long but fun day of shooting. The drive to the locations was anything BUT fun. Traffic on Ventura Blvd backed up a mile from Sepulveda and twenty minutes to go a single block. I cut north and went back to the first through street, went up two major stops and then took that and that was fine. Horrible. Later told that there'd been an accident on the 405 that shut the freeway down so everyone was on all the surface streets clogging them to hell and back - horrendous.

Wasn’t there a “Roaring Twenties” sitcom back in the 60’s?  PEPPER, maybe?

Today I decided to live-it-up and order from Chipotle.  It was very good, but 15 minutes later I was hit with a MSG overdose.  I managed to stumble to the bedroom where I fell asleep for four hours.

I have made it to the airport. I have assigned seats all the way home.

How many flights before you are home?
made it to Amsterdam. On my way shortly to Minneapolis, then home

Amsterdam?  That seems like a direct route from Greece too the USA.

But I can’t say I like Delta much anymore.

I always flew Delta, SFO to Atlanta, and loved it.  What is the difficulty these days? (Haven't flown since 2017).

Delta’s app wouldn’t work and I couldn’t check in until 3 am. Irritating because the app said I was checked in. But I couldn’t get a seat assignment.

I’ve got three books I’m in the middle of. I don’t care enough about Annie Erneaux’s The Years, but I’m about 75% through. Fredrik Backman’s The Winners is better.

The last is the Zola’s The Earth, which I think I’ll finish when I get home. I have a better translation there.

I feel really bad, John, that I have never read any of the books that you are reading.

Speaking of translations, my library just bought a 2005 "definitive English translation (https://www.amazon.com/Don-Quixote-Miguel-Cervantes/dp/0060188707/)" of Don Quixote by Edith Grossman.

Did you see, George, that Amazon had (I think it was) a German cast recording of THE ADAM’s FAMILY?  Of course, you probably already own it.

The edition that I (and the library) bought is called the P.S. edition, which "features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more."

I don't own it!  But at $63.04, it's not high enough on my list to consider getting. ::) Thanks for letting me know, though.  I did add it to my list. :D
