Thanks, DR FJL. The doctor had told me a year ago that I had the beginnings of cataracts, but I was not expecting to hear this soon that it's time to address them. Just glad we got Richard's eyes straightened out before mine needed attention.

DR Ginny, Randy and my dad both had eye surgery in the past 12 years. Is it occurring in Middetown or another city in the area?

Doctor is in Mason and he does his surgeries in Evendale (northern Cincinnati).

So am I, as I sit here waiting for the chimney cleaners who had scheduled me for 2:30-3:00 and now it's almost 3:45 and there's been no call.

And if there's one thing I despise*, it's waiting for someone who hasn't notified me that there'll be a delay or that they have to reschedule. Rule #1 of customer service.

*(Actually, there are several...)

There were five of us driving up to see Trent today, but he can't receive visitors, so we stayed home and ate White Castles!

DR Ginny, sorry to hear the eye surgeries have to be sooner than you would have liked.

(I expected that shoe to drop at my eye exam this year, and it didn't quite do that yet.)

But isn't this kind of an elective thing, to some extent? Or is it at a point that would make a delay too critical for things like safe driving?

Yes, DR ChasSmith, there's a degree to which this is elective, but delaying too long can cause permanent damage. My major complaint yesterday was about night driving. For a while, too, I've had an off an on "filmy" sensation in my right eye while driving in the daytime and while reading.

And I have to admit that the uncertainty surrounding the future of Medicare is influencing my timetable a bit.

Back from a cup of chicken soup and a Philly cheesesteak sandwich - no packages as of yet.

Two and a half hours ago I was told the check was being messengered. So, WTF?

My damned life is caught up in this frustrating wait and I am not happy at all.

The holiday baking has begun: Chocolate chip cookies with crushed peppermint candies (not candles) instead of nuts. The secret is to sprinkle the can't on at the last minute before baking. Don't mix it into the cookie dough.

Tracked down a copy of "Bart! The Songs of Bart Howard," which was released by Painted Smiles. I thought it might have been a Ben Bagley release. It wasn't, but it will still be a introduction to the man who wrote "Fly Me to the Moon," or "In Other Words," which is a favorite of mine.

At 5:05 the check arrived via a rather scary messenger, who was either drunk, stoned or deranged. I was rather frightened of him.

I have eaten, got out of my wet clothes and had a hot bath. The world no longer seems so bleak. I wish that contract would come through so I will be out of my financial worries for the next three months1

That messenger was scary. He kept calling me LarryLarryLarryLarry over and over. I kept thinking, is he crazy?

Your description scares me, and I wasn't even there.

Listening to some Shostakovich symphonies - I'd listened to the Ormandy ones I had - symphonies one, four, five, and ten (all excellent performances and sound), and Stokowski's 11th - but I had this unopened box of the complete symphonies conducted by Mariss Jansons - so I'm uploading the others that I don't have - the dynamics are annoying - quiet so you can't hear it at all and then suddenly loud, but the entire thing is mastered at a really low volume, which I find truly annoying. So, I think this set will not do, but at least I can hear all the music before getting another set. I'll really have to love all the symphonies to want a full set.
