Cookies

Are what are good at the Holmes Regional Medical Center Cafeteria. Cookies are what I am enjoying right now as a delicious snack . They are probably backed in Jersey City for all I know and shipped down here... but they are a delectable Florida treat for me. It helps to eat cookies when you are visiting your sick old father in the hospital.

It seems that, aside from myself (and my family who live down here excluded by connection of course) that everyone in Brevard County is old, and with no fashion sense. I mean, where is it written that once you hit 69+, you have to run around with socks up to your knees if you're a guy, and a sweater w/ monogrammed puppies and kittens if you are a girl????

I mean, go to the Gap, and buy a couple shirts, am I right?

Ah, bliss.

Beautiful Downtown Melbourne

Is where I am at typing this right now. The good kids at the Melbourne Public Library prvovide the nice, Family values minded Christian souls of Brevard county w/ "internet computer access". I guess they feel that the worldwide web brings folks closer to Christ, or something like that. Can you imagine how many hits you would get if you Googled Jesus? It's my favorite Michael Caine movie btw.

So dad is doing so well that they moved him to his own room! He is no longer in the cardiac intensive care unit! So that's good stuff. He had me fill out his menu for tomorrow. There's nothing better then hospital food I tell you . I miss my gorgeous wife SO MUCH :(

It sucks being in a town where you don't know anyone, just relatives, and most of them are ill! I did get tohave a drink w/ Ms. jan childs, last night, which was quite ok!

We also saw "The Village" by M. Night Shamalyn... Real neato suprise twist ending!

And Opies daughter is in it!

Go Figure.

Hanging Chads while Under the Knife

So I'm here at Holmes Regional Medical Center. It's 7:20am-- and I've just said goodbye to dad so he can be put under for surgery. We joked w/ the anesthesiologist about him being from New York, and he said that it was ok that Dad was a Mets fan, he would not hold it against him.

So, I'm very optimistic about today--I have to tell you. While I would rather NOT be woken up this morning, what can you do? Dad was in good spirits, and I even told him that he better get used to having a smooth, hairless body (they shaved him b4 surgery) because after he recovers we are gonna turn his white ass OUT on the street to make some money!

We laughed.

So,Yeah. It's coffee time now.
