 ML>> I need to get a note from the doc saying that I couldn't

 NB>> I would certainly hope the doc will cooperate on that... you certainly

 ML> I figure I should be able to get such a note, as I had
 ML> at least three relevant physicians.

And at least one of them should be willing to verify your near-death
experience for the benefit of the airlines...  ;)  Maybe even more than
one...

 ML>> it's up to the kids if there's to be a commemoration or
 ML>> other event on the day. I wish they'd figure it out, but
 ML>> there probably is a lot of emotional stuff going on still.
 NB>> Ah.   Another thing to see how it plays out, as the time approaches...
 ML> Still waiting on the response.

They probably think they have plenty of time still...
 
 ML>> Watertown, not so, as it's near where you
 ML>> get on the Interstate to go to Syracuse and points west.
 NB>> I usually skirt Watertown on I81, and then head down Rt 3 again... ;)
 ML> That airport is one exit on 81 before route 3.

I think I've seen that... but not paid it much mind... :)
 
 ML>> There is a nifty $86 fare for Ogdensburg-Albany-Boston on
 ML>> the day I'd want to go, with 7 am or noon departure.
 NB>> A noon departure shouldn't be too much of a hassle... dunno how early
 NB>> you'd need to be, but that's a tiny airport, so I'd not guess it to be
 NB>> the usual...  That's about an hour from the Pond... probably the
 NB>> closest  of any of the air possibilities.
 ML> Of course I probably won't hear anything until the
 ML> prices shoot up.

Sigh...  
 
 ML>> The apartment would be nice, but can they do stairs? I seem
 ML>> to recall their house being essentially on one level (though
 ML>> I imagine Burt must have to go to the basement now and again).
 NB>> They seemed to be doing stairs at least as well as I was, probably
 NB>> better, last picnic at Shipps...  :)  It would be up to them...  I
 NB>> think I did mention the stairs when I was talking to them, and it not
 NB>> being an issue.... 
 ML> I was just thinking about age compounding frailties.

I can check out the stairs beforehand... probably this weekend when I'm
at the Pond for my Spring board meeting... I'm planning to check in with
Linda anyway...  :)  They might not be as steep as Shipps...

 ML> Speaking of which, owing partially to effects of a couple
 ML> falls taken recently (due to my own stupidity mostly) last
 ML> time I did the Shipps' somewhat steep home stairs my knees
 ML> tended to quiver a bit. Today getting into bed I found that
 ML> putting pressure on the left one was kind of pain-inducing.
 ML> Poop on that.

Indeed.   Hope it is only temporary... I have that sort of thing much
too often, too...
