Nice visit but...
We made a whirlwind trip to NYC a couple weeks ago. Parents both chipper and happy to spend some time with us (and cook for us, which is always fun). Grandparents' house about to get demolished. All the trees are gone, as is the wild overgrowth behind the house. We did the ferry/subway/whocareswherewegowe'reinManhattan thing, ending up at first ( Read more... ) -
Still no results
on the CT scan or the recent something or other, but he's better today. I tried to call him for his bday and he was not talking to anyone, really felt sick (food poisoning?) He called me back today and sounded downright chipper. So that's good. -
Dad's not feeling well
He had a CT scan two weeks ago but they still haven't gotten any results. WTF, medical team. He's having some upper-GI type pain which my mother thinks is trouble with his gallbladder. Poor Dad. He sounds tired and scared. Of course they can't commit to joining us on our cruise now b/c they are worried he's not gonna make it to November. Of course ( Read more... ) -

Shrug

I don't want to finish it -- the yarn or the needles aren't right - but I can't bring myself to tear it out. It's only the ribbing, an inch or two. I love the yarn (a merlot Lion Suede) and I'd ( Read more... ) -
Ten things I learned last week at SAI convention

Quite a week
Exhibit A: President-elect Obama
Exhibit B: Song of Atlanta is now the sixth best chorus in the Sweet Adelines world.
There was more, but I won't get into it now. -
I Voted
Finally completed my absentee ballot, because I'll be in Hawaii on Election Day, and mailed it. Spouse pointed out I'll be in Obama's state on Election Day! And when the HI returns are in, it's over. No nervewracking wait for results for me ( Read more... ) -
What they think of me
Last night we had a life coach at rehearsal to help us with non-music preparation for contest. One of the things she had us do was go around with a sheet of paper on each person's back and spend fifteen minutes writing, on as many as you could get to, one word that was what that person was to you or made you think of. The purpose was to discover ( Read more... ) -
