Completely satisfied Halloween!

Watch out driving tonight. Be careful for the children.

I cherished tricking and treating with my youngsters after they have been small. Acquired a second probability with Robert and Ally. Joined Lisa and Corey strolling with them Halloween evenings.

Accomplished the Halloween walks every time by sitting with my youngsters after which Robert and Ally and consuming the sweet they’d collected. And for a number of days following.

I used to be a child at coronary heart! Nonetheless am!

There was no weblog yesterday. Sorry. I’m having a number of “off” days and didn’t really feel as much as it.

Ergo, I’ve two days of issues to share  right now in a single weblog. Means right now’s weblog could also be a bit lengthy. Bear with me. The fabric is attention-grabbing. It additionally means I shall be sharing my ideas within the order they seem in my notes. Group missing.

We begin with tuesday afternoon. A primary time go to with Dr. Schnapp. He’s a neurologist. Dr. Norris referred me. My decrease again immediately killing me. Norris suspects I could have a disc drawback.

Because it was my first go to with Schnapp, I didn’t get to see him. His doctor assistant Julie dealt with me. Took data, checked me out, and many others. I see Schnapp subsequent wednesday. In between I’ve had an MRI and he and Norris are awaiting the outcomes.

Julie was terrific. Educated. Put up with my detailed rendition of my drawback. 

Then to The Grand for Completely satisfied Hour. Sat subsequent to Chris. My firm for the second week in a row. She works Safety on the Airport. She has attention-grabbing tales to inform.

A pair have been seated to my left on the bar. As they have been leaving, the spouse requested if I used to be Louis, Key West Lou. Adore it when this occurs!

They have been Lisa and Greg Runion from Sylvania, Ohio. Sylvania close to Toledo.

We had an attention-grabbing chat. They’ve been studying my weblog for years. Each retired academics.

They’ve a daughter Brynn. She works for Nationwide Insurance coverage in Columbus. Loves the job. Nationwide helps her get a Masters.

Brynn and Nationwide introduced again a fond reminiscence. After I was a younger lawyer within the 1960’s, I used to be a Nationwide insured. Householders and auto. Nothing huge. Nationwide on the time had a Policyholders Advisory Committee. One way or the other I bought elected up a number of ranks within the group and ended up Nationwide Chairman of the group for 2 years. Spent a while at Nationwide’s dwelling workplace in Columbus. Acquired to know Nationwide’s President Murray D. Lincoln properly. An excellent particular person. A category act. Influenced me. He died in 1966.

I recommended Lisa and Greg point out Lincoln to their daughter. See if she was conscious of him. If not, she ought to turn out to be acquainted together with his historical past. He was a real chief.

I hope to run into Lisa and Greg on their subsequent Key West go to.

Matt was bartending. Good man. A gentleman.

A sudden hug and kiss. It was Jean Thornton. Husband Joe was together with her. I had not seen Joe in months. They stay in Birmingham. I spent 12 days of their dwelling once I escaped Hurricane Irma. Nice folks!

Joe was leaving yesterday. Somebody has to work. I someday suppose Jean spends extra time in Key West than Birmingham. Really, the 2 are collectively typically as they need to be. The previous few years they’ve turn out to be world vacationers.

I ate early. I had not eaten since 6 am. A busy day. Meant I left The Grand early.

Tuesday evening was Kamala Harris’ main speech on the Ellipse in Washington, D.C. The identical place from which Trump spoke earlier than sending his folks to the Capitol on January 6 to do harm, and many others.

Harris was terrific. She’s bought it! Nicely certified to be President.

Yesterday was an MRI on the Key West Hospital. First time I’ve had an MRI since receiving the pacemaker. A giant deal. Preparation smart and through the process. Due to the pacemaker, I had 6 extra nurses. I used to be the primary MRI that morning with a pacemaker. 5 of the 6 nurses concerned have been studying. You want a pacemaker observer when you’ve got an MRI. Don’t ask me why. Complicated.

So I had the 5 learners plus Cathy. Cathy was their instructor. She knew every part. I used to be impressed with what she knew about me and my pacemaker. She even knew the primary surgical procedure at Mount Sinai had left a wire in my coronary heart and I needed to have one other surgical procedure to get it out of my coronary heart.

The MRI went properly. So I assume. I’ll know subsequent week if I’ve a lumbar disc drawback. The MRI was to find out if I did.

I felt below the climate yesterday. Telephoned Carola to inform her I’d not be at Brady’s within the night. She had deliberate on baking me Irish scones. I didn’t need them to be wasted.

Trump’s main speech at Madison Sq. Backyard turned out to be a serious screw up.  Somebody on his program spoke poorly of Puerto Rico. A rubbish dump or one thing. Going to price Trump votes within the U.S. A ton of Puerto Ricans now stay right here on the mainland. They’re insulted in regards to the remark and Trump’s failure to apologize for it. Trump says the occasion was a “love fest.” In his thoughts solely.

The Washington Put up’s failure to make an editorial alternative for President has to this point resulted in 250,000 cancellations. Bezos deserves it! Could he take a huge monetary loss.

Would you imagine? Why is it not occurring on the U.S.? Since 2007, all McDonalds’ fleet vehicles within the U.Okay. have been fueled with cooking oil from their eating places. In 2018, McDonalds efficiently redid 80 % of its waste cooking oil to be used throughout its European fleet.

The Dodgers received the World Sequence. 4 video games to 1. Sloppy baseball yesterday prompted the Yankees to lose the sport.

I’ve tons extra materials. Saving it for tomorrow.

I need to shut nevertheless with Actress Lee Grant. She is 99 years outdated right now. God bless her!

She starred in motion pictures corresponding to Shampoo, Within the Warmth of the Night time, Airport ’77, and Valley of the Dolls.

She received an Oscar for her sensible comedian efficiency in Shampoo. Grant was blacklisted from 1952-1964. She received the Oscar after her blacklisting had ended.

The years of her blacklisting have been occasions once we feared a nuclear battle with Russia. Critical enterprise again then. A day by day worry. McCarthy was a fruitcake U.S. Senator. A weirdo very like Trump. A hazard very like Trump.

McCarthy prompted many within the film trade to be blacklisted, lose their means to work. Careers have been destroyed. Some justifiably, some not so.

Grant was blacklisted. Not as a result of she was a Communist. Her husband apparently had some involvement. She refused to testify about her data of his doings. She herself was by no means concerned. She was blacklisted as a result of she wouldn’t testify towards her husband.

When she was again to work, she additionally starred within the TV present Peyton Place.

When 50, she determined to direct additionally. She grew to become a profitable director in addition to actress.

Sufficient for right now.

Get pleasure from your day!
