A holiday note to my family, friends, and colleagues —
The past year has been an even more quiet one for me than last year. I took a few trips, then some medical issues – including the onset of osteoarthritis in my left hip – kept me home-bound for half the year. Not being able to lift bulky or heavy items left my house in even more of a mess than is usual. Finally resolved with a 1-hour outpatient hip replacement surgery on Dec. 4th at the Ohio State University Medical Center. Laura & David drove 15 ½ hours through the snow from their home in Massachusetts to be with me and cleaned my house; dear friend Dr. Michael Richardson drove from Chicago to help them baby sit my recovery.
I am thankful that my physical therapist and acupuncturist kept me somewhat mobile during those challenging months so I could continue enjoying some world class performing arts and indulging in the increasingly varied and delicious food scene around Columbus. I’m becoming known as a Columbus foodie, living up to my nickname: Choosy Gourmand. (Get it? Chu, zee gourmand.)
I managed to keep my two guest rooms clean, so was happy to have my great-nephew and his Colorado Collage schoolmate stop for a break on their convoying drive back to their homes. I was also delighted that Joe & Marney Thomas visited for a few days. I hope their examples will inspire you to visit or dine with me this coming year and check out the wonders of central Ohio!
