Up early this morning. Paper isn't here yet and no one else is up yet so decided to put a little stuff on the blog. Sandi's update was really good but now we need news from other parts of the country. John Moore called me from Kansas the other day because he couldn't remember one of Chris and Shelly's dog's names. I nagged him a bit. Ellie is looking forward to her 'thister's' arrival. Leslie (from Springfield - that King boy's wife) sent pictures from her trip to Washington but Rose isn't up yet and I don't know how to post them.

I'm hoping Spring will finally arrive this weekend. Scott said yesterday that Louisville had had a little more snow but the boys were finally back in school. We've still got patches of snow on the ground but it should be gone by Sunday.

I've decided to go ahead and have the angiogram next Wednesday. I'll just be in the hospital overnight (Missouri-Baptist) with a 48 hour recovery - assuming the best.

Rose and Shirley and I are planning our annual Spring trip - this year to New Orleans - towards the end of the month and I should be recuperated by then enough to stroll through the French Quarter. They have casinos down there which Rose and I are big fans of and Shirley has lots of relatives - some I've met and most Rose knows. Rose and Shirley both have these really fancy phones so maybe we can post lots of good pictures. Weather should be hot there, too.

Tonight Mary Myers is joining Chris and me for our weekly dinner out - Goldman, too we hope. He wasn't sure if he could make it last time I spoke with him. Then Mary and I are going to a play about Rose and Shirley's idol - Carl Jung - and a clandestine triangle affair involving Sigmund Freud. It's being presented by the New Jewish Theatre and Rose has helped get the word out about the production. Tonight's presentation is a sellout so we couldn't get tickets for Chris and Goldman but I don't know if they minded. Dinner at T.G.I. Fridays's will be fun for sure, though.

Rose just got up and the paper is here and I really didn't have much news so I'll quit for now.
