'Tis a gift to be simple. A nice encounter and Rondo Alla Turka

(1)  She is for me a very attractive woman. She walks with great energy at Bayfront Park.

At first we would utter a friendly wave.  I took it one step further and one day  asked "Are you a Nurse?"

For you see I had dreamed that I was in the Hospital and she was my nurse.   Funny thing is that she had been taking care of her husband at home after his surgery.

Then she disappeared.    I worried a bit, what with Covid and all that.

A nice encounter!  We happened upon each other again this morning.

I've been dieting on my consumption of NEWS.   I am convinced that participation in the twenty four hour news regime is harmful to my soul.   So I get the first draft of daily news on Public Radio in the morning, and also check some U.K. Newpapers.

Then I leave the news alone in favour of music from our WSMR  classical station.

There are occasional treats.   The other morning is was Mozart's Turkish Rondo.  Oh such memories.  Memories of the teenager at St. Stephen's Parish, Pittsfield MA.    It was his party piece, sometimes played as a Prelude at my request.  COOL!

Listen to it here.

By 12:30 the Vet phoned me with this shocking and unexpected news.  (see below)   How odd that a scan for a lesser issue should reveal the bad news.   I think that the scan was providential. I could have taken him home for what would have been his last two to three possible miserable days but I  decided to say goodbye to Zion there and then.  I stayed with him to the end at 2:00 p.m. I am in shock.  I am grateful for six fantastic years together.  I rejoice that he brought joy to so many people. His remains will be returned to me to be buried near my home, with a flowering shrub planted over them. Thanks for your care John Michael Povey Hello Michael,   I will show you the images when you arrive but essentially what we see on the CT is that he has multiple masses on his spleen and several in his lungs, additionally he has flui

Utterly Wonderful

  80 years equals family Fifty plus of us. My five remaining sibs and their spouses. Nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews. Cousins, second cousins, third cousins A joyful and relaxed family reunion. Super food. Great food for children with activities for them too, including face painting. This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.
