The Philadelphia Story

-
So, we are back from Philadelphia, and Drew is recovering from surgery.  He's doing well.

This time around we took my Prius C instead of his Caravan.  His car is far more comfortable, of course, but he's not permitted to drive as he recovers...and my car gets incredible gas mileage.  I made it to Philly and back on a single tank of gas, and the car has a 9 gallon tank.  Can't complain.  And may I say again how much I love EZ-Pass?    Though the traffic in Brooklyn I could do without.

We stayed at the same hotel as when we were there in April.  But now it's summer, more tourists.  There were three family reunions going on this weekend, which meant mobs of people ...the one time I wanted to use the pool I felt like I was intruding on a private party.

Walking through the Old City ... I saw three different Boy Scout troops, each being led about by a man in full colonial garb.

Of course, I spent far too much time at Temple University Hospital.  Great doctors, great nurses, everyone was wonderful, and took good care of Drew.  

Hopefully the surgery produces the results we want.

Time will tell.

    Wishing Drew a speedy recovery, and good results. Been too many years since I was to Philly, and it was actually to visit one of the hospitals there (not me, but a family member).

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in ...

Saturday 9

  Blame It on the Bossa Nova Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Blame It on the Bossa Nova (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Funny you should mention Eydie.  She’s sort of a relative.  My late mother-in-law always said that she and Eydie were cousins.  Eydie was a Sephardic Jew, as was my mother-in-law, so I have no reason to doubt the connection,  so I guess you can say my kids are related to Eydie,   Eydie and Neil Sedaka were cousins, but I’m not sure if Neil was related to my moth...
