Finally something Blog-Worthy - I MET Oliver Sacks (twice!)

Yes,  - THE Oliver Sacks!

I heard TWO of his lectures, shook his hand TWICE, wrote him a brief NOTE, gave him a small GIFT, and had him autograph FIVE items (not all at the same time!).

He is adorable, witty, amazing, brilliant, loves Obama, and not above gossip or the occasional off-color story. I am heading out now, but more on my amazing encounter later!

Not much of a Blog....

with apologies to Michael Feinstein.

[editor's note] WTF?

"Not much of a BLOG,

no fine, fancy breed.

A bark that's not loud,

won't stand out in a crowd,

still he's all that I need."

[editor's note] thank you for that clarification

If I just give up October as a loss and try to gear up for November, maybe everything will appear a bit more manageable. Between my ER visits, entire days wasted mostly asleep, and my computer very nearly dropping DEAD, it was a waste of a month. For $190 the computer was revived, but I am still searching for various documents and e-mails. And the computer that was my best buddy two weeks ago now feels like a stranger.

I guess I did manage to slip in one day at the State Fair and a brief trip to NGU, but I spent one whole day sleeping in the hotel there. (But wow, what a luxurious bed to be stuck in!). I looking at my monthly calendar right now, and most of the month was spent with doctors (and not in a good way).

So, I'll teach a couple times, see Dr. Sandra and Anita and enjoy Halloween, and shoot for a MUCH better November. (It's pretty open right now, with only TWO dr. appts. listed.) Hey, maybe if I start feeling better I might even have a REAL BLOG someday.
