The next time I have a trip planned, she won't know about it until right before we leave.Calming vibes. Perhaps you need one of those hot stone massages Cillaliz wrote about the other day. Sometimes, my parents don't remember from the beginning of a conversation to the end of a conversation. We have the same conversation over and over and over. Sometimes I want to scream. Thankfully they don't usually remember that either. The hot stone massage is good. Right now it wasn't enough to take the pain away, but it's betterOh, good, maybe mine won't remember "Yes, Mo-ther, you will see me again before I leave for New York."

Lots of wonderful nature pictures today! Some of which (DR Jane's) bring back fond memories.
Actually, DR Jane, Mom is still pretty sharp mentally. A phone call from me every day isn't necessary and would probably make her suspicious.
Rob and Mary Linda are at Cincinnati's Music Hall tonight for the taping of this week's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me."

DR Jane, I'm glad the swim helped your shoulder pain.

Cute baby palm squirrel:
TOD: My mother's Black Forest Torte, which is three layers of white cake, cut in half. In between the bottom layers, who you put chopped up brandied cherries, then alternate with a whipped cream frosting all the way up. Then frost with more whipped cream frosting, cover the top with whole brandied cherries and put dark chocolate shavings on the outside. My flourless chocolate cake, flavored with a touch of Kahlua especial, frangelico or chambord.
Today, after 10 weeks, I finally returned to the pool. My shoulders have been unusually painful that I decided I must swim. It took about half an hour before the pain was better.
