I think he probably mastered it. He looks like a clean old man. (Remember the Beatles' Hard Days Night?)

I just got a call from the nursing home at midnight EST from my mother. She wants drugs for her back pain and they won't give it to her. I don't feel competent to say yes or no. She got herself into the hospital by taking too many meds for her back pain. I really cannot deal with this and go to work the next day. Now I am wide awake with an important meeting tomorrow.

I also realized that in my rush that I left all MY meds and makeup (aagh) in my mother's bathroom at her house.

I really enjoyed meeting Donna and look so forward to going on MUSH with Alan and Donna, if we don't see them sooner.

I want to tell you all that you are all terrific.

I find it amazing that so many of us have so much in common....cruising, children, pets, parent issues...and everyone we have met is so nice.
