SWIMMING UP STREAM

*************************************************** *********************************************Yesterday was busy. Work included taking on a couple of classes for teachers that needed to be elsewhere. That's always interesting. One was a law class. The other involved second graders and cutting up magazines, paste and creativity... in other words, a royal mess. All were fun.

Then it was up river to go to physical therapy. What an odd experience that is. I use a machine to warm up... I'd like to have one of these at home. It's sort of a bike with handles you pump. Then I get massaged. Man that is somewhere between delightful pain and nirvana. What was that John Cougar Melloncamp said? "It hurts so good!" I end with stretches and get my orders for the week. They keep growing. I'm up to 5 stretches and one strengthening exercise called... dubiously... "the clam". Very unglamourous looking... kind of like you're airing out your crotch. Not my favorite part.

Ran to the market in the town to the left, since I was up river anyway and got real food from a real market with decent prices. Bought a ton of fish, my personal favorite food and red meat for the male carnivores. Came home, whipped up a post roast and talapia with a wonderful cajun rub. Everyone had salad and corn. Then we all plopped down for Fringe.

I cannot tell you how disappointed I was! I'd read on the Yahoo! entertainment page that Nimoy was going to be on. If he was, I was finishing the dishes and managed to miss him. Did anyone else actually see him? All I saw was Gentle Ben's kid thinking he was Spock. I felt cheated. Sheesh!

Hope you have a lovely day. We have rain, rain, and a bit of rain. It's knocking all the cherry blossoms off the trees and turning the camileas brown. Here's an interesting bit of nothing... the town to the left (22 miles) gets 40 inches of rain each year. So does the town to the right (40 miles). We... here in the shadow of the cliffs get 100 inches a year. Do I know how to pick a place to live or what?

I'll repeat yesterday's advice... Laugh if you can. Pray it gets better. Be thankful.
