It's Alive! Alive!!!

Just a quick update to say I am recovering well at home. I'm still pain-free, but my energy levels aren't yet back to normal. Mornings are better, and so I try to get in a little excercise; today I enjoyed a long walk through Mount Pleasant Cemetery. This gave me a chance to listen to a CD of good friends Allegra, Tara, and Derek performing improvised songs and acting silly between such hit tunes as a disco version of the Star Wars theme and the song from Shaft. Thanks, guys! How much will you pay me NOT to post one of your songs here on the blog?

Indeed, thank you to all for your cards, flowers, and goody baskets which have been arriving all week. A very special thanks in particular to my wise-ass sister and her partner Marianne, whose package contained the Frankenstein mask pictured above. I suppose it is important to accessorize with one's wounds. Too bad I didn't receive it earlier; I could have worn it during my morning cemetery stroll. Maybe tomorrow.
