Aren't you glad you wore your thongs?

You two are so busy dissecting thongs, I'm not sure that you want to hear about my all expenses paid one-week getaway arranged by those fine folks at *9-1-1 Travel.* It started a week ago Saturday. I had been nursing an increasingly ugly cold and was busy feeding it ceremonial chicken soup when I received a extraordinarily forceful reminder that 9-1-1 Travel was offering some bargains right then, that very minute, and that I should check them out without delay. I dialed their number while swallowing aspirin. No shirkers of responsibility, they were at the door not long after I hung up and fully ready to whisk me away on my package. We had a brief, but exciting ride with lights flashing, followed by a short stop at the local hospital (reminiscent of a cruise ½-day call). There, I relaxed as best I could as they confirmed the need to continue, gave me all manner of drugs I thought were banned ages ago, and then sent me on in another ambulance to out final destination: Sutter Memorial Hospital. The outstanding crew at Sutter Memorial had thoughtfully prepared a large corner room with view and bath on the tres chic ICU floor. The service was outstanding, although the food was a bit uneven. As soon as I was well enough to appreciate and use the amenities, I was bundled up and sent down to their tourist-class heart floor. The rooms are shared, small, the decorations older, but the staff were great. After undergoing angioplasty Thursday morning, I was sped to a small new department established just to attend to the needs of angioplasty patients. It was an exciting week full of surprises and close-up views of some mind-boggling technology. I owe it all to those folks at 9-1-1 Travel. Yes indeed.

They sound like lots of fun. I should be as energetic, and as flirtatious, as that when I'm 80. Well, we'll find out soon enough -- I'm creeping up on it! Hope the play went well -- you probably described it in other messages but I just got in from an off-island trip to see a play myself (Bell, Book, and Candle, cute, not intellectual at all, but fun), and am late for bed, so just went straight to the messages to me. So I'll look forward tomorrow to reading all about Ammo and what exciting thing you did during the play to totally embarrass him!
