Since I rarely have guests, the cats were a little freaked out.  They have calmed down now

Good for you though to have your nephew visit.  I'm glad it was a good one and it seems Joe is like family by now.

Joe has been like family for a very long time.

Yesterday I got the first bill from the surgery center after my colonoscopy.  Insurance didn't pay because if my deductible.  I get that, but this is the first bill they've sent me and they say that the bill is 61-90 days late.  Late? you haven't billed me before now.  What's up with that

Have they been counting the days since they billed the insurance company, maybe??? (That would be strange.)

It would be strange, and very wrong.

DR Cilla good luck getting it sorted out quickly.

Oh I'll just pay it.  I've known it was coming so I do have the money saved to pay the thing.  It will be done then.

Finished "Wolf of Wall Street," now watching the last episode of "Sherlock Holmes," which is so good that I wish it wouldn't end.

LOL That is sorting it out quickly.

I just met my departing physical therapist Morgan. She asked me if i'd like a ton of things from her pantry and refrigerator, and I gave her a package of CDs I'd wrked on over the past 20+ years. I will miss her enormously, and, while I very much like all the therapists who've treated me for the past year, I give her much of the credit for whatever shape I am now in. It broke my heart to say goodbye today.

Nice exchange DR elmore.  Thank goodness she was still here when you needed her the most.

Thank you.  Even on my computer with the lousy sound and competing with the washer & dryer, this sounded pretty good.

Enjoy your monsoon-like storm, Singdaw.

Thanks, DR Laura. We've had some light rain so far. It looks very threatening, but nothing dramatic. Yet.

Wonderful that you could actually say goodbye, even though it's hard, I'm sure she'll love the CDs and will think of you often.  Sorry she's leaving, but so glad you got to work with her

Is there some event going on?

There must be!  But I am not aware what it may be.

Drawers finished and assembly complete.

Barbra sounds amazing in this clip - much closer to the early Barbra sound that I love so much.

Just had the helper take seven huge boxes of DVDs to Amoeba.

I picked up a Fitbit today.  That is a step counter.  I do about have the exercise I used to do and that needs to change.  I'm hoping this works and it will motivate me to get off the computer and move more.

This is a good time of year to begin this as there is lots of work to do in the yard.  Most of that involves bending down to pick up leaves, acorns, or apples the bears left behind.  I'm not sure how many steps I will register.

[Jrand74]

That's a nice piece of furniture DR SINGDAW.

Sounds like DR CILLA LIZ and Co had lots of fun last night.  Which Elvis movie was it?

[Jrand74]

I am watching a show on PBS about Girl Groups....but mostly it's a pitch for me to send them MONEY.

[ChasSmith]

Back from a pretty good rehearsal.

This was shared on the castrecl list - it's a review of the Demy set from the Boston Globe:

Jane - I will be very interested to hear your reaction to working with the Fitbit.

They have a lot to answer for, taking you away from us for most of the day.

DR Elmore, she looks like a lovely person -- but of course we already know she's a good one for all you've said about her.  But how nice to offer pantry goods, etc.  And she'd better listen to those damned CDs!   (Of course she will.)

The PBS drive is rampant on both stations here. I caught a bit of a folksingers reunion.

I think she and her husband Chris will enjoy them. They were always getting to Broadway shows and then we'd talk about them. i think the last thing they saw was Jim Dale's one-man show.

If it doesn't register steps on the Stairmaster I doubt I will keep it.   I was going to get the more expensive one until I realized it only counts stairs, real stairs not Stairmaster ones. 

I don't know how accurate these are but it will give me a base to work with.  The goal everyone is supposed to have is 10,000 steps. 

[John G.]

Up from a nap. And now off to dinner at Morton's. I love Restaurant Week. I get to go to places I can't otherwise afford.

Back from a mile and a half jog - too darn hot to do more.

[KevinH]

DR elmore- it's so nice you got to see Morgan before she left.
