Bleh.

Bleh.

Annoying emails.

Bleh.

My father fell out of his wheelchair again and wasn't being responsive so he's in the emergency room. 

They have to get a doctor's orders for restraints.

Bleh.

It's raining nicely and I didn't get me seeds in but I figure it's Ernie's fault since he didn't buy cosmo seeds like he did in my dream. HA.

Bleh.

Owen got his hair cut yesterday and looks more like Berni than ever.  I must get a picture. 

Bleh.

I have to work late tonight.

Bleh.

Tomorrow is Ernie's surgery.

Bleh.

We'll be thinking of Ernie tomorrow and I hope the surgery goes well. Sorry we didn't get a chance to hear the music the other night. Dema was just done from the long over-packed weekend we had and playing non-stop so when the kids need to go they need to go. I'm so sorry about your dad. I know it is probably easier in some ways to have him at the nursing home, but then harder in other ways and I don't understand why they can't just keep the hearing aids in! We had issues with my grandparents when they were in a home and it drove us crazy, but I'm sure the people are over-worked, but it is their JOB after all to take care of everyone. I feel your frustration and sadness about the whole situation. In the hospital while my mom was dying they didn't ever put her glasses somewhere were she could reach them so I put up signs all over her room to tell them and her that she deserved respect and she needed her glasses to see and all sorts of things they SHOULD know, but seem to forget. Ugh. It makes me sick to think about how much we all have to fight for care some times for our loved ones. Again, our thoughts are with you all.

How is Ernie now? How are you all doing? You're in my heart.

Drive-in Theaters

  • Getting ready for the evening...
    My friend Eileen says that the reason I've been so obsessed with drive-in movie theaters is because my parents never took me to one as a kid. She's probably right. She usually is. Reportedly my older sisters went to the drive-in but I have no memory of it. The first time I remember going to the drive-in theater was with Eileen and I think it was the summer before college. I remember eating dried apricots and some kind of warm pop while watching a bad movie with a Cheap Trick song on the soundtrack..... My friend Alice and I were in grad school together in the late 80's outside Detroit. We ended up photographing drive-in movie theaters throughout the midwest as well as brief trips to various other spots. We always said we were going to write a book but we never did. I just dug out the slides I have though and man, there were some great drive-ins!!! It's been twenty years so of course many of these are gone I'd love to hear from anyone if they have drive-in anecdotes or know if any of these are still around. I took some of the photos, Alice took some---I'll do the Lennon/McCartney things and just list us both on all of them. She can always switch the order of names after I die.
