========================
Hi Hap,

-> we'll be back in NC by the week end and I should settle back into a
-> routine.  No major cooking jobs, just class to keep me busy. (G)

 hn> I've been Solo this week, Anne left Saturday for
 hn> California, and returns tomorrow. Then back out
 hn> again on Wednesday am for NYC.

Just home long enough to trade out dirty laundry for clean clothes, have
a good meal or 2 and off again.  At least she won't have to cook. (G)

->  hn> He asked her to bend as far as she could
->  hn> and she went as far as she could, which was
->  hn> further than she should.

-> Of course.  Just like therapists tell you that they will take you just a
-> tiny bit beyond your point of what you can do without hurting.  Then
-> they take you beyond that point and you are hurting.  But it stretches
-> you just that bit more.

 hn> Yep, "just that bit more" that causes pain and
 hn> more damage. I told her not to listen to the
 hn> Fellow if he said that...but she forgot.

Sigh! Sometimes the little bit more helps, other times it makes the
problem worse.

 hn> Seems like it's one roadblock after another
 hn> with this outfit.

But is starting at square 1 with another company any better?  Hopefully
some answers and actions will start flowing soon.


->  hn> Yep, got the workman's comp DR's report

-> So, onward and upward?

 hn> Or over and over again.

Herding cats or Groundhog Day? (G)

->  hn> Surgery did not go well, Anne's mom is
->  hn> terminal, the tumor is fully invlovled with
->  hn> an artery and is too dangerous to attempt
->  hn> removal. Don't have any numbers on how long
->  hn> Mom has, but pancreatic cancer is not one

-> Ouch!  Our prayers will be with both of you.

 hn> Thank you, they are most thankfully received.

You're welcome.  Knowing that you lost your dad last year should help
you help Anne thru losing her mom.

->  hn> Making airline reservations, getting logistics straightened
->  hn> out so Anne can get there and back.

-> Sigh!  But, it's got to be done.  Go out for a steak if you have the
-> time now, if not, do it later.  Get your cake and ice cream tho--go for
-> an ice cream cake.

 hn> I should...but I haven't.

Settle for a scoop of something from the freezer or a Slurpee?


-> BTW, we were listening to "A Prairie Home Companion" last night on our
-> way to my my parents; he was broadcasting from Seattle.  He made it
-> sound like the city is as hilly as San Francisco.

 hn> Actually it's hillier than SF, but the two cities
 hn> are very similar in a lot of respects.

I've been to a bit of San Francisco; we made a day trip one Saturday
while Steve was stationed at DIL, Monterey.  I'd like to see more of it
and see some of Seattle--at least the Pike Place Market area.

 hn> About "prairie home companion", my boss at the
 hn> ballpark, just got back from a cruise with the
 hn> entire staff of the show, they went to Beleize
 hn> and the Yucatan...it's their second cruise with
 hn> Garrison Keillor and his troupe, and they had a
 hn> ball. Now THAT's a cruise I might go on!

I think I would too.  He did a show in Honolulu when we were in HI.
They offered tickets to the local public radio supporters first--who
bought out the show.  I thought they should have had a good sized block
of tickets held for the public---and maybe gotten more NPR supporters
out of it.  But, it didn't play out that way, SIGH!

Catch you later,
