Thread Name: Kendall in hospital (not any more)
Subject: RE: Kendall in hospital
So, Kendall--getting out of jail maybe? We hope you had a nice vacation! All that R&R! All that good food! All that quiet! & . . .   Noise? . . . in a hospital? In the wee hours? As I was sitting with an elderly friend in the hospital at a couple of clocks in the weeAM the other night/morn, we were watching the sci-fi channel & she said "What is that noise?" I looked out in the hall, & told her "It's just the Zamboni doing the floors." She knew exactly what I was referring to! The floor polisher.
    Next night, after the "Zamboni" went by-- while watching the sci-fi channel yet again, at about 02:30ish A.M.-- a sound erupted as if the Keystone Cops were giving chase. "What in the world is going on now?" she inquired. I was about to stick my nose out in the hall to inquire of a passing staff member when about 3 of them descended upon the room we were in--there was a fire drill, & darned if they didn't come in & find the "fire"--a piece of red paper in my friend's wastebasket! It must be the sci-fi channel that attracts the noise & excitement. Or else Musicians.
