Oh to gallivant! Everyone who is able..GO... Terry, I so wish I could
see you! Rebekah will have to fill us in. Forget
the pantaloons, they only constrict the privates... the slipper are exactly that
slip....pers...
I wish I had slipper-stealing twins! now that is
gallivanting! To everyone in the ''close to 50, 60..... group.... get a
grip.... It just gets better, the eyes go so you really can't see you're
not still young and beautiful.... as you are still in your heart and many
peoples' everlasting memories.....
Much Love,
Joy

Around
I, for one, intend to gallivant until the day I die.
And by the way, has anyone ever seen Irene Dunne singing "I'll Be
Gallivanting Around"? It's in the original movie adaptation of
Showboat and it's pretty amazing.
love,
Terry
And is there anyone of this list in D.C.? I'm doing a symposium
/performance at George Washington University tomorrow night.
Bruce tells me his daughter Rebekah is coming. From what I understand
the performance is free and open to the public. It's going to be in one of
those hideous ballrooms so it won't be your usual theater undertaking.
But I've done this show in classrooms, convention centers, assembly
rooms and once in a back alley at midnight (really! and it was fun!).
So I'll make it into something watchable despite the venue.
Here's what the organizers told me:
The event will begin at 8:00 pm on Thursday, November
3. It will be held in the Continental Ballroom on the third floor of
George Washington's Marvin Center. Here's a link to the building's
website: http://gwired.gwu.edu/marvincenter. Generally speaking,
it's best of people either take cabs or the Metro to this part of town.
The Foggy Bottom Metro stop, which serves the blue and orange lines, is only
two city blocks away from the Marvin
Center. love,
T

Stop
apologizing (although glad to hear that you are not doing the “bucket
list”). Personally thought it was pretty cool. Good to see that youthful
exuberance still persists and some of us are still
gallivanting….
Necessary
follow up:
John tells
me that my note had a fatalist tone to it. None was intended at all --
there is nothing absolutely wrong with me at all. I'm in perfect
health (even including my liver, which is so much sturdier than Jack Daniels
could ever be). I AM approaching a birthday (which will have me
rounding up to 50 afterward), so I was only musing on age and the slippered
pantaloon I'll be shifting into soon.
Probably,
(Mike Godwin can tell me), it was bad etiquette to blast everyone about this
awesome little road trip John Stokes and I will taking this month. But
it was a faux-pas born from a burst of enthusiasm. So I'm sorry (if
necessary) to clog everyone's email with my joy. And with the PS.
And with this follow up.
Once again, yours, David
P.S.
Shawn Sides arrives tomorrow for a week. ARE WE HAVING FUN
YET!!!
In California, but not forgotten,
Zig
Clayton: Awesome
pictures. In late November, John Stokes or I will probably come to
resemble some of them. (See hi-jacked thread
below.)
The
one-way ticket is bought. I arrive in Albuquerque on Tuesday, November
22, at 6:17 on United 6416. We'll then spend the next couple of
days together in Socorro near the VERY Large Array -- and make ourselves
available to all the (YOW-WOW!) Astro-Physics babes (at least, those whom
Matthew McConaughey hasn't managed to ruin already). Then we'll
indulge in Thanksgiving dinner (it IS time for the Stokes-family recipe of
egg-nog by then, ain't it?), tumble our tryptophan-besotted selves into
the Challenger (Reincarnation Number 4, by now, I expect), and stagger
ourselves to San Francisco (at a reasonably leisurely
pace).
By
"stagger," I mean: help me plan out the perfect route. I'm
thinking Death Valley, Sequoia National Forest, Kings Canyon, some
airplane boneyard (like the Mojave Air and Space Port), Joshua Tree,
whatever Arizona and New Mexico have to offer -- it's a damn fine
Euler's Shortest Route problem, ain't it. Pick two or three or
so. At the least it will keep us on the the US Highways and off those
eff-ing interstates (damn you, Dwight D. Eisenhower!). We have a few
days to spare. I await your suggestions. Let's make this trip
count.
Whoops, I
accidentally CC-ed the whole Winedale list -- ON PURPOSE! Can you
imagine how much fun we will have -- trolling (trawling?) across the whole
Southwest and California together -- with Die Miestersinger blaring
(occasional Steve Reich interludes) on John's tape deck? (please
Please PLEASE, John, upgrade it to a CD-player or even iPod enabled [?!?!]
before I get there). I speak for myself: I ain't got many more
road-trips in me -- none, if the 1% have their way and deprive me of Social
Security and Medicare in my waning days -- and this is one I NEED to
have before the gout sets in and I can't sit up for long. John is
having is own medical problems, but he assures me that driving long
distances isn't one of them. By popular acclaim we'll try to take
pictures and broadcast them for as long as ATT and the iPhone
allow.
Love and
miss you all (even the ones I don't know), and you're welcome be very
jealous of the fun we'll be having!
Thought you
all might enjoy this. Hope everyone had a happy and spooky
Halloween.
best,
c

The
future of medicine, today.
