Hi, Friends!
I am good! A large part of that is because I came up with some projects (even video piano lessons!) that can be done from my sick-person bed in my sick-person room. (Also, I’ve been through this before and I know what to expect. That makes a big difference.)
I am indeed, right smack in the middle of radiation. The only side-effect I’m having is the extreme fatigue. But. Mixed with no-joke pain meds, my cantankerous gastrointestinal system, a bit of spectrum disorder, and a dash of neuropathy … by late afternoon I’m literally bouncing off things like a plodding pinball. (Nothing serious, only door frames.) But, I have lots of projects that don’t require standing up!
- I’m scoring two silent films for theater organ, to be played live in the Fall.
- I continue to hang stuff and fuss with things in my new safe-room. I mean bedroom.
- I’m starting to draw diagrams for the little pipe organ I want to build. I finally found an octave-and-a-half set of the type of pipes I was looking for.
Hope you’re well too!
Bonus points if you can identify the woman on the bottom left in the silver picture frame. Any guesses? I’ll just tell you — it’s Linda Lee Porter, Cole Porter’s wife. That’s a prop that sat on the piano from a show I did. Thanks, Bonnie! =)

Sit Still Phill 
Glad that you are doing well in the face of everything. Sending love and strength to you! Love, Chrissy
Glad the planning ahead is paying off in terms of engaging projects that can be done from your cozy sick bed! That show prop/picture didn’t happen to have an elegant monkey near by during the aforementioned show, did it? 😉
It did indeed, although I preferred the chandelier version of the show to the monkey version of the show. =)

Getting ready to watch it in a minute! I have to say, that production advert company does really good job keeping that show running for ages. I’m getting ready to write an update, but basically it’s just that we have a July surgery date and the summer off to recuperate. Tomorrow’s my day off so I’ll put a post up about it then.
PHILL!!! that was a link to the WICKED trailer on youtube!!! i think it totally looks like movie magic and movie musical done right!!!!
