And I have the attention span of a gnat????? Did we not have a three day discussion about not mentioning this until we knew what sort of a voice the Captain would finally have? Did we not talk about surprising everyone on New Year's Eve by having him sing?

A very long three days with no sleep and too many "noises" in that damn waiting room. Why do they think Christmas Carols should be warbled while adding fifteen notes to every one? beep beep beep beep beep

Have Kendall tell them about the nursing assistant who was none too bright. Catspaw will appreciate that one.

Kendall's eyes speak volumes. He will be OK for a few days as long as he has his remote and his dog.

Bente - I only mailed the package. It is not a Christmas gift and you will have to open it to see who it's from (from whom it is?)

For anyone interested, the hospital in Albany could not have treated us better. Jacqui and I were looked after by some very caring people who kept us updated on his surgery, provided coffee and orange juice and most of all sympathy and a sense of humor. They even managed to get us on the road by 10:30 when they learned we were driving back to Maine.

Glad to be home.
