Isn't the moon beautiful tonight? It's nice to think that where ever we are, the whole world over, we can look up and see the same moon. I tried to get a picture just now - even dragged out the old tripod, but this was the best I could do.
Thanks to all who sent good wishes for relief from my recent ear ache. It wasn't mastoiditis or celluitis or Dengue fever or anything particularly catastrophic after all. Just an ear ache. It's going away. As a result, all the reporters from the cable news networks and their satellite trucks have now disappeared from the front yard and Oprah has cancelled my appearance. I was sorry about that last bit. I still think I would have made a great guest for her. I am still hoping at least for a segment on Fresh Air. Ooops. There's the phone. It might be Terry Gross. I am glad I can still hear the phone and I can't keep Terry waiting. Bye for now and thanks again.
