Well, I'm going home today!!! They wanted to send me home yesterday, but I pushed back hard because I hadn't
built up any strength in my legs and I was REALLY wobbly and weak when I walked -- so I was truly worried about
falling over.
.
How do you know that you're getting old?
.
The first time you worry about breaking a hip!!!
.
I've been through this several times and I KNOW my body and the process, I was 90% sure that I just needed one
more day of short walks in the hallway... and sure enough, that's what it took. I have my confidence and comfort
level back.
.
My biggest concern right now is what I'm going to fix for dinner. Whatever it is, I'm definitely going to have a Caprese
salad with it
.
Yum!!!

Your Working Boy,

What are you dressing up for Halloween? If you can get your hands on a stethoscope, maybe a doctor?

... convincing, fun and funny chicken-wire-and-paper-mache 7-foot penis.

I won every bar contest I entered (partly due to cool special effects) until
I got here to Tucson... which made me decide to hang it up (so to speak)
.
One year, this woman was so impressed that every time I walked into the
bar after Halloween, she would immediately SHOUT, "IT'S THE BIG DICK!!!"
.
As I made my way to a barstool, I would humbly (and unpretentiously)
acknowledge her accolade by waving to the crowd as if I were British royalty.
.
.
I was inspired after I took a college course called "Teaching Art to Children" and
I was re-introduced to paper-mache.
.
The "big dick" part was all my idea.
.
That probably comes as a shock to many of you.
