John Prine, my favorite songwriter of the 20th Century, died of Covid-19 a couple of months ago. Coincidentally (or perhaps not), the last two songs with words I recorded for YouTube were by John Prine.

Well, a broken pelvis at 88 cannot be good, but they already have my step-mother up and walking. For a very short period, mind you, but it's not like a broken hip where you can't put any weight on it at all for 6 weeks. Still,...

Every morning I try to walk even a few minutes; or if not, I will walk a lot inside the house during the day. I find walking a necessity and it becomes a very precious activity for those who are afflicted with debilitating disease...

As I mentioned the other day I haven't had a problem posting pictures on MyLot since I joined but now, all of a sudden, I am. Don't know if I accidentally changed a setting on my digital pocket aim and shoot camera or something on...

I read a post by a relative saying she is worried as to who will take care of her when she gets old.
She cited cases of elder people who could no longer take care of themselves, yet they were abandoned by their families, alone...
