First off, the problem with my computer has been corrected.
As I suspected it was similar to the problem that I had with the Comcast cabling last season. At that time, the service man got my computer going but took the easy way out and did not really do the job properly.
The fellow that came to service the computer connection this time had to move some furniture away from the wall and then was able to get to the source of the problem - a part had to be replaced. Now, I'm back in business.
MORE REPAIRS NEEDED
Now, for something else that needs to be repaired.
My hip has been giving me trouble for some time now. In November I went to see an orthopedic surgeon and was told that I needed joint replacement surgery. Needless to say, I was not happy about that diagnosis.
I had plans to leave for Florida in December, had my plane ticket, car transport arranged and all the other details taken care of.
The doctor said that after the surgery there would be a recovery time of about six weeks and then I could take off for Florida. My thought was, "sometimes things don't go smoothly and I could be stuck up North in the cold for a length of time."
I decided to go South as planned and made arrangement for the surgery when I return to Massachusetts. I'm not the run around that I usually am down here, limit what I do
in a day and am managing fairly well.
GAMES GO ON
The Mah Jong and card games go on.
POWERFULL AND WELL ACTED
Recently saw "Precious" - a powerful movie, very well acted by Gabourey Sidibe and Mo'Nique.
Gabourey was great as a troubled tenn ager and Mo'Nique was amazing as her mother.
MY FAVORITE
Another movie that gave me some great laughs was "It's Complicated" starring Meryl Streep (my favorite actress) and Alex Baldwin.
What a peach of a pair they are.
HE STILL HAS IT
John Davidson performed at my clubhouse recently, I've seen him a number of times and he still "has it."
What a great talent - he comes across as a down-to-earth person, was on stage for an hour and a half - audience loved him, me too.
STILL IN THERE
Well, I haven't been running around as I usually do but after making this post I realize I'm still in there pitching!!
