Lo ball, and other news

I looked up "lo-ball", to be sure I was using it correctly. Properly, snort, spit, guffaw. Kavanaugh will sit on the supreme court. Justice will be rewritten, some in my lifetime. All you people out there in the streets better keep at it, year after year after year.

And, in other news, cards were point for point, hand for hand today, until the last hand, when I was dealt probably my best pinochle hand since college. Nancy and I cleaned up. I'll run this by Nancy: I'll see if she will switch partners one time. I'll be Peter's partner. I will not say one word to him for the entire game. 

I saw the other young surgeon today, and he believes me, that I can get around perfectly well using my good right arm to support my broken right leg. "Or, you'll just use your left arm", he observed. "You probably can't hurt it, since I'm screwing it in, no glue". 

Surgery is set for two weeks from tomorrow. "Can we come play cards in the hospital?" Peter asked. "Peter, I scheduled it for the day after! We will play cards right here."

And finally, another homecoming, another dance, another dress.
