UPDATE SATURDAY MORNING

.
.
.
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,

I noticed your visiting the cooking a baking section of DU!

You had better continue to rehab you lower body if you hang out there!

My suggestion.

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.

One Halloween I dressed up in skates and Kiss face. I think I would have pulled it off if I knew how to skate.
