Glad you're feeling better.
Lots a great things out there if we can let ourselves can enjoy them.
We attended the season opening concert by the New Jersey Capitol Philharmonic Orchestra last night at Trenton's War Memorial theater.
I've been a classical music fan all my life, but the maestro led the orchestra in two pieces we'd never heard before and both were amazingly uplifting.
I know your musical interests are different so I won't bore you with the titles but as I looked around at the enraptured gray-haired audience I was reminded again that survival is key.
If we can somehow stay just in the game, wonderful things can happen.
