This will really be short cause I am in a really unusual position for myself. This is the second day in a row of which I will have spent the majority in bed. Seems that when I am on my feet, my back gets really pissed. I am still trusting it is a spasm, just a different muscle than in the past. The plan was for me to go back to Gas City for the weekend... But if this doesn't change, that won't be happening. The main stimulus for this post is the University of Illinois basketball schedule. You may remember that my cousin Monica Earlywine and her husband Thom have a son (Kirk) who is the basketball coach at Eastern Washington University. You can see his picture at: http://goeags.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/ewas-m-baskbl-body.html
His team played a game in Portland while we were in Oregon, but our schedule didn't permit us pursuing attendance although Monica said she could get us tickets. Well, this year they are in the Assembly Hall for the season opener with the Illini on November 14. http://fightingillini.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/090308aab.html
However, again my "locum business" will interfere. Georgia and I will be in Tennessee that weekend after 2 weeks at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. It is amazing how small this world is, but just as amazing is how complicated it is.

WHAT??? We are going to miss Monica's son again, and at the opening game at Illinois??? NO FAIR!!!!!!! She will disown us as cousins, and I would love to see that game and to meet Kirk. We could take him out for dinner after the game. NO FAIR!!! Life is just crazy!!! I think Kirk looks like Monica, your favorite cousin by the way.
Hope you are feeling better - I am praying for you. Stay in bed and rest. I better not hear that you are mowing the yard. LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU!!!!!!!
I trust y'all know that Georgia is in Gas City caring for her mother and I am at home "nursing my wounds". At this stage we are feverishly searching for our lemonade recipe.
Monica reminded me of this game Friday at lunch. I told her you guys might be in Tennessee at that time, and she was VERY disappointed. Wouldn't that be just ironic if we would get to that game in Illinois and you would be gone???? I really don't want to go if we can't see in the mix.
Are you putting hot or cold on your back? I never know which to do. Hope you feel better SOON!
Love,
Barb
you are pretty busy for a retired guy. At least you don't have to be "on-call" anymore.
We've been praying for your back/side.
