So I couldn't make it to Itzhak Perlman May 31st (Pops' had his surgery that day)...but this week I found a friend with extra tickets to Bela Fleck and Chick Corea for this past Thursday, June 14th. I had such a fun time!
Spent Thursday at Vassar Brothers Medical Center with Dots (aka grandma) in their cardio-thoracic waiting room. Pops had a long, intensive heart surgery, including bypasses, grafts, and a bovine valve replacement (the joke is that he's going to Moo!).
I was up at 4am today, and when I called to check in, he was already up doing his breathing treatment and I even got to say hello!
It was a early morning for me (very unusual), but Mark's in Wisconsin for their Grand Session and a presentation, and I couldn't sleep. So I got up and did some yoga, which felt great. I'll be working the next three days, so I expect I'll drop into bed when I get home tonight.
So I've been working on one or two blog posts, but haven't put anything together.
Tonight Mark showed me some great talent showcased on Digg.com and they were good enough to pass on to you:

I could taste Vietnamese Pho from Pho 501 in East Hartford, CT while I was living in Australia.
I still can't get pho to match theirs (and, yes, it tasted that good when I got back!!). Then I found Thai rolls, and mmm...mmmm...mmmm. Yum.
I went to yoga this morning, and picked up a listing of Delaware Ave establishments, finding a second Vietnamese restaurant in the area, My Linh Restaurant!! I've been to Van's Vietnamese Restaurant several times, which is also delicious.
