MG: very nice that Derek went back to his school - it puts a face on the war for the children that is not all death and killing.

Please Thank Him for this noble task. It will be a comfort to him - as return to the zone - is unbearable by any standard.

How very proud you must be - and rightly so.


As the years keep coming and going
Young men will arise and depart
Only one thing is surely imortal
The love that is in your heart....

We will all pray for his safe return home..

Yes I lost 4 as did not eat before the weigh -in. So was able to start my testing.
It was a very stress filled day - the Van Driver lost the Gas card so had to advance money to get us home. So he was grumpy.
The nurse was grumpy. Then I got home and my furnace died (the fuel pump died) I only had it 11 years they are suppose to run for 30 yrs. ( they just don't make them like they used to) so I know when to quite - I turned on the electric blanket and slept 11 hours so you know how tired I was. Today I hired a friend to fix the
furnace and I made a couple trays of Lasagna and French Bread. Now I'm done
for the day. It's cool about 40 but the furnace will be running by dinner. Sorry I couldn't answer sooner I was stuck in the kitchen for 4 hours. mory

I won't get the MRI until April - they wouldn't even give me a date until I was under the machine weight. But I did get the procto (3 hrs) with the Fiber camera so now I have
a CD of my intestine to take to another DR to have read. Everybody is going to get in on the act. The testing is about 16M I only will have to pay $320 of it - but now have met my deductibles for the year.

Armond finished the furnace and he is on the way home with his dinner and cash for gas. He won't let me pay him as I gave him
my Datsun P/u and old back/hoe. He also has my new car dolly and is waiting to see if I say he can have it. He has worked 50 years cutting & splitting wood.
Has the highest mechanical aptitude of anyone I ever met. So instead of messing things up I just call him. I'll go on line later and have a couple new pipes sent to him.
I have never seen him without a pipe.

Either you got it, or you don't! I always cringe when I see employment ads where they require degrees. Why not just give the applicant a small 'real world' test and see how they do? 'Knowing' and 'doing' are totally different things. I'm one of those people that could go to school forever and would still find it difficult to apply my education to tangible problems. Show me how to do it once or twice however, and I'm usually able to work my way backwards to the underlying reasons why I'm doing what I'm doing.

I have a lot of education, Bj, so when I first told my Mother I wanted to marry Bob, who did not, she had a few choice words. She just didn't understand. To me, who can do next to nothing (including type Big Grin) with my hands, he was a genious! He could do absolutely
anything and I mean that, anything with his brains and hands, together. I would trade him that for my education in a minute!

BJ just found your mention of Greenpoint - Its also much safer there. You used to have to appear there to stay but now see they have reservations on the net. The key is having a home Y card - then getting in is easier. I may go down to the city this summer and see a few shows. I can take an express bus and be there in 4 Hrs. A Lot easier than driving.

Mory -
Yep, I do the reservations over the internet, then I call them and confirm a few days later Smile I was a member of my local YMCA for about 3 years. Used the exercise equip for a couple of months, then just considered my dues a 'donation' Smile I donate to the zoo now ... might switch back to the Y in a few years Wink

Lexie - I'd feed you .... and you could prbably camp out in the yard under the field of dandelions that popped up!

Mrs. M.... my mind is going in adult areas today ... I was LMAO about your 'do anything with his brain and hands' comment Smile

Lexi: You can give us a shout - all the hotels have Coffee Bars with Internet - just fighting your way to one is the problem.
And all the new rooms are wired to connect a laptop. The ones using the telephone are VERY expensive though. The good thing is you can check all the facilities out on the net before you go.
I always go with near Empty Luggage as come back with too much. I realize you can't do that with a child. Have a great time - will miss your posts.

You would even consider driving????? Smile

When I moved to NYC (82/83) I stayed at the Vanderbilt for a couple of weeks until I found a job and an apt. Saved me quite a bit of $$$. Now, if I'm going to NYC for a couple of days I stay at a little B&B in Chelsea if I have the $99 a nite to spend. If I'm staying a week I do the Greenpoint YMCA.

Re: internet and NYC ... I even pre-purchase my show tickets online. Last time I was able to get 2nd row center seats to Chicago. It was stunning! I still want that time machine from eBay so I can go back to the 70's and see it with Jerry Orbach, Gwen Verdon and Chita Rivera Wink

My favorite was Gwen Verdon in Damn Yankees
My brother Harvey did the Mambo number with her on Broadway. Last month I found a picture of Harvey Honecker Gwen and my Brother Harvey Jung performing The Sunshine Girl in New Girl In Town. on theatredance.com. Harvey danced with her for over 15 years. She was also great as Richard Gere's mother in Cotton Club.
And Mia Farrows Mom in Alice. She went back to acting when her legs gave out. I have her Teak coffee table in my den she gave to my brother.

Yes, when not in NY he was in Vegas. The two Harvey's - When they didn't have a Broadway show Gwen would loan them to a girlfriend for a Vegas appearance. Ray also was a good friend and helped him keep working. Harvey was also an amazing speaker - He got into EST and taught for them for years in San Francisco. There all gone now - I am just sorting trunks of pictures and shredding them.
I am saving one box for his daughter who was in a Canadian Ballet Company. Since she hasn't written in four years she may not get it and I'll mail the box to one of the dance websites. or the Library of Congress.
Oh well, time to move on.

In my next life I'm going to be a nightclub piano player/singer in the village in the 1920's or 1930's Smile I'm a firm believer that if there is reincarnation, it wouldn't be stuck to a linear time frame Smile It's going to be my 'vacation' life where I get to party hard and die young! Oh, I'm forgetting the rich parents that don't understand me, but send me checks monthly Smile

Well, if I ever came back..and I am not sure I would care to...I don't know as I would do a whole lot different. I have been lucky to have done so much in my short life! Maybe, if i could remember treating some people shabbily , I would not...I hope I would not repeat that! Kinder is better! Smile I have danced the dance!
