I would certainly hope the doc will cooperate on that... you certainly
had sufficiently bad health reasons to keep you in hospital, even...

Ah.   Another thing to see how it plays out, as the time approaches...

 ML> I looked it up, and it would be a bit of a detour to go to

That's pretty much what I thought I remembered...

 ML> Watertown, not so, as it's near where you

I usually skirt Watertown on I81, and then head down Rt 3 again... ;)

 ML> There is a nifty $86 fare for Ogdensburg-Albany-Boston on
 ML> the day I'd want to go, with 7 am or noon departure.

A noon departure shouldn't be too much of a hassle... dunno how early
you'd need to be, but that's a tiny airport, so I'd not guess it to be
the usual...  That's about an hour from the Pond... probably the closest 
of any of the air possibilities.
 
 NB>> I did mention it to Burt as a possibility for having a little more

 ML> The apartment would be nice, but can they do stairs? I seem

 ML> I imagine Burt must have to go to the basement now and again).

They seemed to be doing stairs at least as well as I was, probably
better, last picnic at Shipps...  :)  It would be up to them...  I think
I did mention the stairs when I was talking to them, and it not being an
issue.... 

ttyl       neb

... I found the Answer!    ....    Who changed the Problem???
