Second week back

I've been trying, I promise, to stroll an hour every morning, or whatever day or evening time might be best. Walked today, so that's cool, very cool, in fact, in the morning.

Last week, we had appts. to keep. My minor surgery was scheduled at Kaiser on Weds., so I faithfully went in, only to find that the cyst had desisted. MD and nurse concurred, so who am I to argue, so I departed, uncut. Should've showed them the spider bite - methinks - on my right arm, but it's painful and ugly, but I'm trying to deal w/ it without dying.

All week, Don Haley called us from Reno - two days actually - getting the scoop on what he'd been finding - including a pic. sleeve from Rouge Noir in Seal Beach, very cool stuff.

Thurs. it was the Gary Center, where I had a crown replaced that some gum extracted while being chewed on HiWay 5, just as we were learning of the downside of the north-south commute - don't take this road, go around.

This weekend, I contacted Gary and we went to see the world-famous Lou, who, after 2 false starts, let us in his torn up garage full o'LPs. I bought 15 - some nudie cuties, rare jazz - and about 25 45s for $20...borrowed $5 of that from Gary. Very sweat inducing, forsake the walk to Vet's Swap Meet for this, glad I did.

Shea's on a new path, moved in with David Corpus...from Propes to Corpus, not much of a change for the better. As I tell friends, we went on vacation, our daughters were living one place, we came back, they were at different addresses/phone numbers. So it goes for the Propes - Steve & Sylvia, approaching their 40th on 9/11 - what could be more perfect?
