==========================
Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> -> -> a chain sushi eatery.  We went elsewhere.
-> ->  hn> Yummmmm, sushi!!!
-> 
-> -> Jus not our choice for an entire meal--a part, but not the whole, thank
-> 
->  hn> I looove sushi, and sashimi as well, I could (and we have  often) made
->  hn> that the whole meal. Amanda and I love it...Anne won't eat it so she
->  hn> picks out some Katsu dish or donburi, or yakiniku treat for herself
->  hn> and leave Amanda and me to "fish out" ! When we were down there
->  hn> earlier this month we went to a sushi place in Sebastapol and boy o
->  hn> boy was it GOOOD! Price was not bad either $75 for the three of us 
and
->  hn> Amanda and I had a good selection of sushi to enjoy!
-> 
-> I probably could get more into it than I have; but there are so many
-> other interesting foods to try.............  (G)
-> 
That's the good part! (G)

-> ->  hn> I always know where the door is and have voted with my feet 
more
-> ->  hn> than once when something isn't the way I want it...after all
-> 
-> -> We've done that, sometimes when they try seating us in a "No Smoking"
-> -> area not 3 feet from the smoking one and nothing separating them.  
After
-> -> a bad day at Tripler today, Steve took me over to "Steak Night" at the
-> -> cub tonight. First my lemonade came out as lemon lime soda, OK, I'll
-> -> drink it, even tho it's not what I wanted.  Then our medium steaks came
-> -> shading toward (but not quite) well done.  My corn on the cob was cold
-> -> but ate it anyway.  Then drink refills took half of forever--and it
-> -> wasn't that busy a night!  But, it beat my cooking & clean up.
-> 
->  hn> I know what you mean...and sometimes it's better to either leave or
->  hn> "take it as it is" , you never know what ticked of kitchen workers are
->  hn> doing when the dish is out of your sight!
-> 
-> They sure weren't being ticked off by too much work!  But, it was a
-> chance to sit down with Steve with no distractons (this and that to do
-> for pack out) and breath a sigh of relief that the work week was done.
-> 
Anne and I like to do the same, we have a couple of favorite places for 
sitting and enjoying the meal and eachother's company. 

-> -> Didn't see the new kid but saw another trainee, his supervisor & my
-> -> former doctor.  New kid was busy.  Anyway, the trainee was perplexed 
so
-> -> he called in his supervisor & they consulted with former doctor.  Upshot
-> -> is, into a short (shin length) boot for another 4 weeks, then back on
-> -> the 25th.  May have to rush some stuff thru then and put off other until
-> -> we get to GA..................yes, I AM bummed out!
->  hn> ->
->  hn> No doubt! I would be too, there's little excuse for not keeping on top
->  hn> of your situation certainly since you are a short timer they want the
->  hn> next station to know they did a decent job for you...
-> 
-> I think they're afraid of taking the next step at this stage of the
-> game, knowing we are so short.  Unfortunately unless it heals up big
-> time in the next 3+ weeks, I'll be traveling with a bum foot.  Yes, I
-> could see a doctor along the way if it were an emergency  but that would
-> probably just be a "patch her up & send her on" type situation.  Why do
-> I have a feeling this won't be fully resolved until some time after we
-> get to GA?
-> 
That is certainly more than likely to be the case unless there is some 
serious "laying on of hands" by the Dr's. But the "next step" might be one that

would inhibit your travel for a period of time so that's a consideration too. 
One thing you might consider is getting a second opinion from a highly 
qualified Orthopedic Dr from the civilian side...second opinions are often very

valuable insights! Then by the time you get to GA you might have a game 
plan of your own to toss into the mix!

-> ->  hn> called? They are going to be up here next month...maybe I'll give 
em
->  hn> a
-> ->  hn> tryout !
->  hn> ->
-> -> Go for it!  I think they only call a couple from each area for any given
-> -> taping.  Gives it more of a states wide representation.  The GI that was
-> -> on yesterday & today is in Steve's battalion and an OIF veteran.  I 
knew
-> -> the "Final Jeopardy" question he bombed out on.  Steve said that he 
was
-> -> taped in late April.
->  hn> ->
->  hn> I still don't watch enough TV to even know which channel Jeopardy is
->  hn> on! LOL Anne's Mom is out west for a visit and is currently down in
-> 
-> If you take the test and pass, one o the questions on the extra
-> paperwork asks what channel you watch the show on.  One of the other
-> contestants in my group asked me as he wasn't sure.
-> 
That would be me more than likely! 
-> 
->  hn> Olympia with Anne's younger sister. All three of them leave monday 
for
->  hn> a trip down to Ashland Oregon to the Shakespeare Festival held there
->  hn> every summer. I think they have tickets to three shows and a "behind
-> 
-> Sounds like a fun "girl time". (G)
-> 
Yeppers, and a great reason for me to NOT go along! They are having fun 
and enjoying some quality time and I certainly don't need to be in the middle 
of all that girly time!

->  hn> the scenes" tour as well. Me, I'll be spending the time cleaning
->  hn> house!
-> 
-> Want to come over here and help me with mine?  A friend was over for a
-> few hours this afternoon helping me ge the rest of my sewing room ready
-> for the packers.  The kitchen is close to being ready, same with the
-> bath and half & our bedroom.  Biggest areas to work on over the next
-> couple of days are the computer room & the living/dining room.
-> 
HAH! You have not seen the level of my cleaning (grin) I'm not a very good 
housekeeper! Somewhere in the house I put my key to my workspace 
(exterior door and alarm key) and I have not been able to remember where it 
is or find it anywhere...and it's been sitting in it's safe "I'll put it here
so I 
won't lose on my trip and I'll remember where it is when I get back home 
again" place since MEMORIAL DAY!!!

I'm spending a lot of time while Annie's gone looking for it!
chat with you soon
