Thanks for the great Season, Linda... don't rush your rehab assignment; your spot in the starting lineup is not in jeopardy because of your little DL stint... ️ (Just be ready for the playoffs....)
Woody died in 1967. There is an interesting blog in the info section of the video.
Rant Warning!
I do not like to post unpleasnt tidings but I must speak out! On Tuesday I had some scheduled blood work done. Later that day I received a call fron my primary care physician that my Creatin and BUN levels very very high I I should report to my neprologist or the ER. I did both. Iam told I have 5th or end stage renal disease. I have never had the failure of a complete organ system before and I do not yet know what this means. The kidney doctor who told me to go to the ER was going to visit the next day didn't show and the idiots at my nephrologist's office buggered up things so badly that they can't possibly see me for at least three weeks. Iam asymptomatic and feel fine except for whatever turmoil this news caused. Iam taking things philosophically but won't know what to do about things for three weeks. Susan, my wife is a basket case. A RN for 37 years she says she is despondent because there is nothing she can do. That is a troubling statement but Susan's state of mind is more so. Iam not looking for sympathy here. I'll figure things out and take appropriate action. My heath has always been bad, (I had over 500 hospital visits before I was 12). but I do know how to adapt to things.
Thank you for your patience with this rant.I had to let you'all know or I would explode.
Season 283 Wrap
Usually I post a wrap vid when I host, but the end of this Season has been anything but ordinary for me. And thank you so very much, my dear friends, for all of your get well wishes. I so appreciate them.
I’m not able to make a vid at this time for the wrap, but I will share a photo.
Just a few weeks ago I was at a wedding. There also was my friend Lorraine. She’s one of my best friends since kindergarten – yes, we learned to read together. And yes, we were friends through the Summer of Love and all that has come since. Lorraine’s on the right and that’s me on the left. For Seasonistas who have never seen me other than my right forearm and hand, here I am.

And, if I were making a video wrap this Season, I’d have just as big a smile. I only hope that everyone had enjoyed the Season’s music as much as I did.
We had 108 vids by 37 Seasonistas this Season; I enjoyed every minute of each recording. Below are listed the vids that I would particularly like to recognize. Prizes are Season appropriate and will be sent to those individuals listed below who p.m. me with their addresses.
Thank you, everyone, for your contributions to Season 283.

PBS said:S29 Ep12: Summer of Love
In January 1967, San Francisco youth descended on Golden Gate Park for a Human Be-In. The media flocked to the event, offering a window into the world of Haight-Ashbury and inspiring even more young people to join. Summer of Love is a striking picture of the summer of 1967 — from the utopian beginnings, when peace and love prevailed, to the chaos and drug use that ultimately signaled the end.
Thanks for adding me to your list AND for the neat "remembrances" you sent - I received the decals yesterday. You always do a very special job of hosting the SOTU - even when you're hospitalized! :uhoh::uhoh:
Linda, I just wanted you to know I received my stickers today. Cant thank you enough for this token of a memory to this season.
What a great host you are
Hi Linda,
I've been neglectful here and apologize. It's wonderful to hear you're on the mend. Thank you for the shoutout, and always, for the thoughtful feedback.
Good to see you back in action!
Rick
Thank you for the stickers, Linda! They arrived today and they'll remind me of this fantastic Season in days to come.
