I wonder if our two (count 'em 2) guests are ghosts?

Thunder is rumbling over the Town of Johnston SC as I type this.

I am now getting a "severe thunderstorm warning" from the NWS via Alexa on my Bose soundbar.  My local weather service also gives me voice updates on my phone, and I understand lightning is now occurring hereabouts.

Do I continue on this laptop, or shut the darned thing off?

Am I worried?

Am I afraid?

Or, am I just sort of bored with bad weather and gloomy conditions?

It feels like "tornado" conditions, but no word of such a thing so far.

I base that feeling on experiences I had when I lived in Lawrence, IN, just north of Indianapolis.   Lots of tornadoes in that part of the country.

Oh! That's something I haven't announced here yet.

We pulled the plug on THE STREETS OF NEW YORK for this coming holiday season. There have been too many closings and missed weeks in this entire area due to Covid, and with the size of the cast required in that one and the challenges of teaching and rehearsing during the cold months, the two of us went to the theater and got their very willing blessing to kill that idea for this year and substitute it with something smaller and with less potential for risk among a bunch of people. So we'll certainly be mulling over that tonight.

That's too bad.  Good luck on finding a replacement!

This time tomorrow, I will once again be at the VA...this time for a CT.  My doctor thought it was time to check my innards. 

Apparently, CT stands for Computed Tomography.  You all probably know that, but I find it amusing to say it in full, rather than reference it as "CT".

Computed Tomography. 

And it will be done in the same area where I got my X-rays done last Thursday.  Oh, rapture!  Oh, joy!  Another long haul down corridors in a wheel chair.

Vibes your test results good news.

Speaking of X-rays, my doctor sent me the results of my Thursday visit and I got them Saturday.

He said they showed two things:  Normal wear and tear of age (degeneration) and...A concerning cystic something or other on the left hip that has caused him to submit me for an MRI.  I know something is wrong with my left hip, but I sure hope it isn't something needing an operation.

Then, he said that attending to the following things could "save your life" and afford you good health in the future.   WHAT???  HUH???  SAVE MY LIFE?

What followed was a series of shots, all of which are very up-to-date except for TDaP.  What, I wondered, was TDaP?  So, I googled it and discovered it was the immunization against Typhoid, Diphtheria and Pertussis. 

I see this guy quarterly and he has exclusive access to all my records, so I wonder now why I haven't been told I needed a TDaP round of vaccinations before now.

I find it oddly disconcerting to use such terminology just to say I need some TDaP vaccinations.

Actually it is tetanus (not typhoid), diphtheria, and pertussis.  You should get one every ten years.  There should be a record of the date of your last one.  I expect the vaccinations listed is something generated by the system and not put in there by your doctor.

Since we can unknowingly be exposed to tetanus, technically getting vaccinated could save your life ;)

I guess maybe I should tell someone about the paintings I got at Goodwill that have a sticker on the back that reads:

Gardner Museum Boston

Maye they are from the gift shop?

Good guess.

Has anyone read the mysteries of Anthony Berkeley? I’m listening to The Wintringham Mystery and it’s delightful. Imagine P.G.Wodehouse as a mystery writer.

Smoky vegan carrot dogs. That just sounds disgusting.

No but it sounds like a question I should ask my brother.  If he hasn't read them he might want to read this.

It is the "smoky" part that doesn't appeal to me.

I have never heard of Anthony Berkeley, but I think I will delve into his writing. Thanks for the tip.

Berkeley apparently has quite a few titles to his credit on Amazon.

My regular acupuncturist is on vacation for the next three weeks. Not acceptable, my back tells me.
