The day of rest means no Who Am I. Yesterday's answer was the late and great Marian Anderson. My update: last week there were two days and nights at Mom's, two days at a boring accounting seminars, one lawn mowing experience, one movie (Killers, don't bother), two chapters written, and other things that I am sure I did but don't remember them. Next week is one night at Mom's and on Friday my final accounting seminar until probably December. YEA!!!
Now some updates from people that are part of the blog here. I read Mary Z's blog and she is having an eye problem. She has one more appointment with a specialist and then goes back to her regular eye doctor. DR is in Indiana reconnecting with her Mom and meeting relatives. I am really looking forward to hearing all about it when she returns. I got an update from Maryanne, the lady that they thought would lose her hand after a dog bite, here is the first paragraph:
"The hand specialist released me from care after my appointment this past Wednesday. The wound still has a bit to go, but now I can cover the whole thing with a single 2" x 2" gauze pad. Originally it took 3 overlapping 4" x 4" pads."
If there is any change in the news about The Shankster and Dona, I know they will bring us up to date!
Now some of my family concerns. My cousin L, the one that is dealing with two active cancers, is heading to the Mayo Clinic in Arizona for some special treatments. Please wish her well and successful treatments. I also received a phone call from another cousin and her husband has late stage prostate cancer. So prayers and good vibes J's direction would be completely appreciated.
Entertainment Update:
The winner of Top Chef Master was Marcus Samuellson. Top Chef starts this coming Wednesday at 9, 8 Central time. I tried to watch America's Got Talent again but just didn't finish it. It is just to painful for me to watch people embarrass themselves. I will review Robin Hood this coming week. I also plan on going to The Karate Kid tomorrow.
One final thing. Next week the Update Day will be Saturday. Sunday I want to honor fathers on Fathers' Day.
The blog is now yours! Tell me about your lives. Introduce yourself. Vent. Complain. Share. Post anything you damn well please!
PS:
Speaking of updates here are some updated statistics on the BP Oil Spill:
11,300 miles: The distance around the world the current amount of leaked oil would stretch if it was placed in milk jugs lined up side by side. To quantify, that's farther than New York to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and back
102: The number of school gymnasiums that could theoretically be filled floor-to-ceiling with oil from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
11: Number of workers missing and presumed dead following the BP rig explosion.

Nothing much to update, once again. Ho-hum.
Good wishes still coming for all who need them, and I could use a few myself, for an eye problem that could be only a minor annoyance or could be something. Will get it checked out soon.
Depressing stats on the oil spill, but then everything about the oil spill is depressing.
Off to a play this afternoon, so no further comments.
MaryZ, good wishes headed your way for a good eye exam, hoping all things turn out well. Pat, get the eye looked at pronto, sending good vibes your way also.
I am glad to hear that Maryanne's hand is doing so well. Such a lousy thing to happen but glad the outcome wasn't as bad as they though it may be.
I hope DR does give us some updates when she returns. I had not heard her say much lately about her mom so was wondering.
I hope both of your cousins get the treatment they need. SO all my prayers & good vibes and whatever I can muster up is on its way.
We are finding out about the Shanksters tests from the past week at the end of this week. He still has to get another test on Monday. So will keep you all posted on the updates when we hear them. I thank you all for all the well wishes, it means so much to me.
Wishing everyone here a great week ahead.
Hi Pat
Of course you have are postive vibes about the eye problem, we are rooting that it is only a minor annoyance/
I hope you enjoyed your afternoon of playing!

Hello Delightful Dona my sister from another mother.
DR's job at the family reunion is to take care of her Mom to give her Arizona sister a break. So it is going to be interesting to hear from her.
I put the end of the week on the calender. I'm also rooting for good results from the tests for the Indiana connection on Monday. I will be thinking of you and him all day!
And of course we are going to wish you guys well, like it or not, you are family!
Bill
