PING! SATRAP!
Has anyone heard from thiis woman? Las rumor I heard, in all of her
moves, she was last sighted at the White House as the Chief Protocol Officer. She gets to write all the dinner invitations by hand, in orange ink, of course, and tell all the shrub family which forks to use and when. |

Surprisingly, Texans are hardly as uncivilized despite the appearances given by some of the higher-profile Texans. however, BBQ must be eaten with fingers. Didn't know S. was a Texan. Though she doesn't seem to mind socializin' with us. |

Are the fingers a side dish or a condiment?

It was the Shrubberies who are from Texas. Satrap is from Chicago or
somewhere in that general area. And I miss her orange presence too. |

Sorry folks, have been back and forth to my native Chicago a lot lately. My husband and I were hit a second time (first time, March 1, head-on SUV; then, rear-ended Sept. 17). A month after the 2d accident, my Dad caught pneumonia, and was in hospital for 3 weeks, 2 of those weeks in ICU; he was suffering with shortness of breath, to the point the had to do a trache on him. now he is in a convalescent home being weaned from a ventilator. We can't move him just yet. So I have been trying to handle things for him. However, I have notified the Illinois Ombudsman about his situation, as I just found out he developed a sore. I am livid. I have had to "satraperize" the company that manages the building where he lives (as in, call office of US Senator Ronen, who then notified office of Alderman Smith...), and all that kind of thing. I am sure Dad is going to get better, he has been able to wean for as much as 9 hours. It's just that, well, that is Dad, and I am concerned about him. When he is released, he will live with us, he will complain about it, but as long as he is able to complain, that is fine. After all, he is Sir Satrap the Elder. He knows the Sox are the World Champs (I have 2 T-shirts and a mug, waiting for him). Folks with children, make sure you have daughters. We take care of you, especially if Mom has already gone to heaven. Now, I am probably preaching to the choir, but please make sure to have all your paperwork in order, while you are in good health. Power of Attorney, Durable (Health care) Power of Attorney, bank accounts, and all of that. Of course, I have learned to have emrgency bags packed for EVERYBODY, including Dad; lists of family members in the immediate area; phone numbers of agencies serving seniors, people with disabilities, etc. If any of you think of anything else I need to do, feel free to say so. I am quite tired, and not thinking as clearly as I should, I know. Oh yeah, and The Husband and I are also planning to move back to Chicago, or one of the burbs, when our accident case is closed. We are still going through physical therapy. Where is John Cline Deux? Pens....ok, back in September, I bought a black Namiki Bamboo from Pam Braun. NICE!!! This is my first Namiki, and I quite like it. I'm tempted to go for a sterling Crane... Then, on one of our emergency trips home, I stopped at Pearl Art (on Chicago Ave. and Franklin, across the street from Starbucks) and got a green Sheaffer Balance (the marbled green colour) for like, 65.00. I like this one, too. Ordered some Laban pens from Richard Jarvis' site, and should get those this week. Just won a blue Waterman Liaison off the 'Bay, should get that this week, too. Also reallllllyyyyyy thinking about that Waterman Exception, the black/gold. Yowza, I haven't even had time to do my hair! How is everybody? How was Thanksgiving? OOOOPS!! Sorry for this long letter! |

"so what" wrote in probably the least important part of a very poignant post: | Where is John Cline Deux? Right here...my gosh, you've had some rough times. We're here for you (and haven't forgotten your birthday is coming up!) john cline ii, who also has had a few things happen, but nothing quite like all that...My dear Miss Satrap, you are a strong one and a fighter...Godspeed to you and your Dad and husband! |
