1. I’m off tomorrow morning to Atlanta for Judi’s surgery. I decided to drive. Everyone kept telling me I should fly but you know what? I don’t want to. I don’t mind flying but I guess I like having the control and freedom of driving and even while on the highways I like seeing the country. So I looked up a few landmarks around Atlanta…..probably won’t manage it but one never knows….
2. Words I never thought I’d hear in my house: "keep your pizza away from my butt"
3. I couldn’t sleep last night. I kept waking and having odd dreams. I dreamed I won on Jeopardy with a question about Mott the Hoople. My subconscious must have liked the dream because I kept re-dreaming it. Sometimes it would be "What is The Hoople, Brain Capers and Wildlife? or sometimes "What is All the Young Dudes?" and then I would add an aside to Alex "but really, I like their originals better….". Once there was an entire Mott the Hoople category and I just whizzed through it….. "Who is Ariel Bender?" "What is a Maltese Cross?" "Who are the New York Dolls?" "Who is Ian Patterson?"
4. Too busy to write more. Think of Judi on Thursday……
“Keep your pizza away from my butt…” I am trying to work with this…figure out where it could possibly have come from! Meaning? The creativity of babes. Love, Judi
Massive prayers for Judi (gut tells me its going to literally work out fine) and a blog post regarding such tomorrow. Have a good trip. Bring your camera.
i have a very good friend (Stella’s best friend’s mom, as well as her best friend) in Atlanta who says the karma is wonderful there, so you have that going for you too.
Miles and I will drink a toast to ya’ll at the Potowatomi Friday night.
sending you all the prayers I can muster. There is nothing quite like seeings someone you love preparing for serious surgery. Thinking of you and yours at this extra-hard time.
Nothing but the best thoughts going out to Judi today. Stay positive!
Sending positive and warm thoughts for your sister and you this week. Have a safe trip.
