A double-header today. Basic catchup first. I'd worked from home the first week out of the hospital, but last week I went into the office on Monday and Wednesday, which was Just Fine. Actually, I started Wednesday with a doctor's appointment, with my GP. I had seen him just a few weeks ago, and this …

Hermit
So, last weekend was sort of domestically recovering from the week before (I hadn't even unpacked from Provincetown yet when I found myself in the hospital): laundry, emails, paperwork and so on.

Last year, really needing a vacation after a summer of widowing, the germ of an idea, "oh, maybe I should spend my birthday in Provincetown" grew into a wonderful 9-day trip to Martha's Vineyard and Cape Cod, and yes, ending up in Ptown for my birthday. I'd never been to any of these places, and …
Yesterday is dooooone…
Back in college, I was at one of those casual gatherings of friends in someone's apartment when the host pulled out a recording of a recent Sondheim flop called Merrily We Roll Along. It played in the background as we chatted, and I 'sort of enjoyed it'. At some later date, not much farther in …
