The Patient Improves

He took a shower before dinner last night, and ventured out to the store today (out of bananas, coffee filters, and milk). He tells me he is still sore, so I guess I really am going to have to break down and put the Christmas boxes up in the top of the garage myself unless I want them in the living room until July.

He enjoys the attention he receives after any sort of medical procedure. There were lots of calls Wednesday evening and Thursday. His own friends called and Marlene Leonard, our Soroptimist President, called him. She also talked to me, but the talk with him was the point of the call.

All of this sleeping has rendered him awake at night. For some reason last night I was also unable to sleep -- even though I hadn't had a nap -- and we found ourselves lying in the dark discussing the economy at 3:00 a.m. We decided that, although we knew how to solve the problem, we didn't have the power to do so. I had rather special insight because I had just watched Bill Moyers Journal on that subject at 11:00.

The new President should hire us to be his economic advisers and pay us a great deal of money. That would certainly improve our personal economy.
