I sent a Disney gift by email in advance for the baby's first birthday.  That way, one less thing to have to think about.  The departure by bus from Port Authority is always unpleasant, mainly because the forming of the lines is so disorganized.  Departure on the other side from PA back to New York is always a breeze.  Scranton always had such a pleasant waiting area, and they made it so much better recently.

That could have and should have been two posts.  So I'll make up for it by adding this post!

I haven't caught up on the posts from when I was in Florida, through Wednesday.  So I'm sorry if I missed anything.  I'll try to catch up Sunday.

Vixmom, I haven't decided whether I'm driving in yet, but thanks for the parking tip just in case.

The rain just got here.

We're to have a couple hours of it, then things should dry up and tonight's fireworks thing should be a much more pleasant affair than everything else this whole past week has been. We're actually getting "normal" temperatures today through Sunday, with some damn nice open-window sleeping temperatures these first couple of nights. This heat wave has lasted an entire week or longer.

Can't open the windows for fresh air yet, though. Still way too muggy. Maybe after the rain passes...

Friday morning greetings!  Right after breakfast Richard and I will make our way to the Museum of Jewish Heritage for the 12noon performance of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF in Yiddish.  It's directed by Joel Grey and will have subtitles.

My friend Mary Iles is in this production.

I've been traveling a bit, this will be the fourth time since early June, after not much for a very very long time.  (cousin's wedding in PA, Last Starfighter/with HHW PNW, Florida earlier this week, now cousin's birthday).  Now, it looks like no more traveling for months and months.

I'll see you Sunday.  Have a great tome at the NYC HHW gathering!

I got to the pharmacy and to the market before the rain landed.  I am quite happy.

My neighbor Mark and I went up to look at Apt. 5D.  The police clearly tried to break into the apartment.  I called Val, who said the acting super must have told the police since he hadn't spoken to them.  There was no suicide, only a drunken asshole whose girlfriend Lisa has moved out.

I just got a very kind rejection from a second agency. 

They wrote, As I’m sure you know, the publishing industry changes swiftly now, as do readers’ tastes and trends. As a result, our own agents’ needs shift and change, as well; therefore, we would like to encourage you to consider querying us with future projects as you may deem appropriate.

I've made the pasta sauce with tomatoes, black olives, green peppers, and mushrooms.  When the grouf pork and beef thaw, I'll brown it with onion and garlic and toss that into the mix as well.  It smells great.

Here's Magnificat's Thursday night update on Mego:
Mego is out of surgery and doing quite well!

The surgery was longer than expected. This time around, they found that part of the fat that covers the intestines had necrotized and was probably contributing to the persistent infection. The necrotic portion was removed and the entire abdominal cavity carefully washed out. The fluid draining out of his belly, which had been thick and yellow, is already much clearer.  Our greatest fear going into surgery was that his blood pressure would drop again, and it did dip towards the end. But they were able to bring it up quickly with another plasma transfusion, and right now it is looking nice and stable!

Mego may look quiet in this picture, but that's because he is still groggy from the anesthesia. Otherwise, he is doing so well that in a few minutes he is going to get his first meal through the esophageal feeding tube they put in this afternoon.

We would like to thank everybody for their generous support and for sharing Mego's fundraiser. We are not out of the woods just yet, but things are definitely looking up!




That's wonderful!!  Great news!!

The pasta sauce is finished.  When it cools, I'll freeze most of it.

She’s not just in it, she’s Golde and quite wonderful.  As is the entire show - we highly recommend it.

We’re now in TriBeCa, where Richard wanted to visit a shop he’s ordered from online.  They recommended Walker’s Pub, where we’re having drinks and burgers.
