Now that would have been funny!
My Mom has had trouble with nearly every body part you can imagine. She is veritable medical book diagram of surgery scars. I have been jokingly telling her for years she should apply for a medicinal marijuana license for pain management.

Luckily, this procedure went very well and by the time we drove home, she had abandoned her cane. She wanted to toss it my Aunt's lake where we were staying but I convinced her to keep it "for someone else who might need one later on."

You were into the screech again were you?

Today I received my copy of the new album, Brilliant by Ultravox. A blast from the past, and I am really enjoying it.

The lil' misses and myself have Sade's Live ('93) DVD playing while we're both doing chores around the house (I'm here, HA!), it's been awhile since we have seen the disc and I almost forgot just how good the sound mix is, excellent audio ... not so good on the video.

I give it an A+ just because she was so damn sexy.

Not weird enough.

I'll still buy her new album. The deluxe edition will come with an octopus. Can't wait!

Ha ha. Of course I was just kidding. It was plenty weird. I look forward to hearing the full album, too.

A medusa bag would be a good companion piece to her octopus hat.

I've liked what I've heard when I've paid attention, but I haven't given it a really good listen yet.
