John called me about an hour ago, and he's back home!  He's much better and has a program of meds to follow.

Good news! 

Here's something to cheer him up. See if he gets the pun:

Two parrots were sitting on a perch. One says to the other, "Do you smell fish?"

Ha!  I had to think a bit before I got that one.   

I did too when it was first told to me!

Excellent news, Priestess!  Best to John.

Glad to hear good news about John!

John called me about an hour ago, and he's back home!  He's much better and has a program of meds to follow.  He was super worried that his apartment had had more flooding with all the rain we had yesterday, but happily everything was fine when he got home. 

Ha!  I had to think a bit before I got that one.   

That´s just awesome.... Welcome home John!!!!

Thank you so much, everybody! 

I'm back, but I've got to STILL clean up the mess at home and get my building management to fix the leaks AND figure out with my meds and my bizarro blood chemistry, so--I'll be dropping in time to time. I literally CAN'T sit at the computer for a very long time, I NEED to be walking A LOT--good thing I love walking!

[Penthesilea]

Welcome home, John!
Rest up, take it easy, apartment be damned.

Welcome home, John!
Rest up, take it easy, apartment be damned.

Thank you, Chrissi--after finally meeting and talking with my building Superintendent, just back from Malta, I did just that--take it easy, apartment be damned!

 

Gotta start, though, and real soon, or else...

Welcome to the club, Andrew!

You are Baroque-Bach-tacular!

[Andrew]

Wow, what an initiation !  I am delighted and shocked, since ordinarily I only count limerick syllables, not my own posts.  

And you make me a little guilty, Paul,  that I have not visited my own blog much in recent months to post about my good friends Palestrina, William Byrd, Monteverdi, Agostino Steffani (met him last year), Corelli, Handel, Alessandro and Domenico Scarlatti, John Blow, Purcell, Pergolesi, Charpentier, Couperin, Rameau, J.S. Bach, J.C. Bach, C.P.E. Bach, Haydn, Gluck, Boccherini, Mozart, Beethoven, Cherubini, Rossini, Schubert, John Ireland, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Bellini, Donizetti, Berdi, Berlioz, Chopin, Liszt, Bizet, Delibes, Smetana, Dvorak,Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Faure, Saint-Saens, Franck, Johann Strauss, Wagner, Brahms, Max Bruch, Bruckner, Mahler, Richard Strauss, Korngold, Balakirev, Borodin, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Debussy, Ravel, Janacek, Grieg, Wilhelm Stenhammar, Nielsen, Sibelius, Delius, Elgar, Granados, de Falla, Copland, Gershwin, Holst, Vaughan Williams, Britten, Hindemith, Bartok, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Stravinsky, Respighi, Rodrigo and all their friends.

.....didn't post about them for the worst possible reason, that I was afraid these friends were not the in crowd....

....and had only a tenuous superficial connection with my favorite film, although they had a deeper connection, having something to do with Depth itself...

But I have enjoyed every day of the time it took to reach 1000 posts, which in my case was - hmmm, over five years.  And I feel privileged to know all of you in this strangely assembled but sturdy group.

To the next five years, Cheers!
