I'm really looking forward to the week starting tomorrow!

A great many good things are scheduled to happen...

Tomorrow we're going to a chamber music session and we love those...

Tuesday I have my last physical therapy session. I had a pinched nerve in my lumbar spine about 6 weeks ago, and PT has made it vanish. It has gone completely away, just because of the PT. Those people have my undying thanks.

Wednesday is my birthday...I'll be a decade older. More on this later...

Of course, Thursday is Thanksgiving and I don't have to cook! The family will be gathering.

Saturday, my family is throwing me a birthday party!

Such a week is very unusual around here...I hope your week holds some good things for you as well!

The group of PT folk are the BEST I've ever had, and I've had some good ones...

They are so good that I am looking forward to having them help me after my shoulder surgery!

You will hear about the cake...a cheesecake!

And yes, live music is the best!

Glad to see you today, and I'm hoping you're doing well!
