I could easily tell you about the five horrible things most weeks. <br />But we all need to embrace Jerry's exuberance. I love how much he loves his grandkids and his alternative library system. Your happiness gives me happiness, peeps. <br />Carrie Coon is amazing. And I wish I had gone to see Laurie Metcalf on Broadway. <br />Google Land sounds just about right for us now. pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-32355882281698378932017-05-08T15:57:14.860-04:002017-05-08T15:57:14.860-04:00Reading the good news about Phil put a smile on my...Reading the good news about Phil put a smile on my face. You and he have more people on your side than you realize.<br /><br />It's been a good week for me:<br /><br />While checking my x-rays, my doctor said that I have the knees of an 18-year-old. (I'm hoping that kid doesn't want my knees back.)<br /><br />While driving grandson Mark to a party, we again realized how lucky we were. Mark is an amazingly good kid, with a sweet soul, and never a bad word about anyone. He's friends all come from the same mold as Mark. All of our grandkids are great, but sometimes you just have to stop and consider their individual good qualitites.<br /><br />Speaking of grandkids, I was impressed as Erin practiced tossing (and catching) a rifle for her high school's color guard. Was also impressed when she showed us all the bruises she got as she perfected her toss.<br /><br />I started using the library system one county over. My local library system has a very limited selection (and no Interlibrary Loan!). In it's defense, the local system is only ten years old and is staffed by some very wonderful people. But now, I can also get a much wider selection of books and am now able to use ILL. Yay!<br /><br />I watched President Obama receive the Profile in Courage Award. Truly a class act and deserving of this award.<br /><br /><br />Jerry Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482856733981933159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-1497350154731979962017-05-08T13:27:31.790-04:002017-05-08T13:27:31.790-04:00Steve-I live right across Woodward in Huntington W...Steve-I live right across Woodward in Huntington Woods.

Also ...Holy Moly, what a story Ms. Silbergleit has. Also glad to hear Phil is improving.<br /><br />I'm full of more complaints than joys this week. But, there were bright spots.<br />- I was able to get the lawn mowed after borrowing my neighbor's mower.<br />- We avoided a $400 van repair bill. For now.<br />- I may be able to perform a couple additional van repairs and save expenses on a 200k mile vehicle I don't want to spend money on.<br />- The library is again hosting the school district art show and I like several of the clay pieces. goo.gl/n4pXnX https://goo.gl/WG2Cu1Gerard Saylornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-77897196310067964152017-05-08T09:50:56.504-04:002017-05-08T09:50:56.504-04:00I imagine New York would get harder and harder to ...I imagine New York would get harder and harder to negotiate as we age.

It does take time, and as we get older things do seem to take longer.<br /><br />Carrie Coon has had quite a showcase, what with the very different roles on THE LEFTOVERS and FARGO running at the same time.<br /><br />Jackie has been complaining a lot more lately about the dirt and crowds in Midtown, especially compared with Florida, but I'm enjoying getting to so many more shows this year. We've seen four in the last few weeks, have three more sets of tickets for the next three Sundays as well as one in June. And considering the price of a Broadway show, we've paid between $28 and $41 a ticket, which is quite the bargain.<br /><br />Jeff Meyersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093411926030586355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-67007959795499698682017-05-08T08:35:35.750-04:002017-05-08T08:35:35.750-04:00Thanks, guys.

We did get few snowflakes last night!<br /><br />I'm excited about our upcoming trip to GOOGLE LAND to visit Patrick and see his new apartment.<br /><br />I'm glad Art Scott decided not to mortgage his house to buy Prada fashions with Robert McGinnis paperback covers silk-screened on them. Some aspects of collecting have to be moderated.<br /><br />Finally, I wish all the mothers who read Patti's blog a Happy Mother's Day!Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546161337366365635noreply@blogger.com
