Radio By The Bay

I don't think I'll be able to make it that early because I'm coming from the far north bay.

The earliest I can be there is maybe 12 or 1, which probably means I'll miss out on most of the fun, but it's better than nothing?

I was going to be, but on Sunday the 5th of July, in a freak accident involving a bulldog that got a little too excited while she was dog-sitting, my wife broke her hip. The good news is she had a great surgeon.

The operation (anterior hip replacement) was on Monday, the 6th, she came home on Wednesday the 8th, she has made considerable progress every day and yesterday, was able (with assistance) to climb our stairs up to the master suite for the first time.

Friends who have had the same surgery in their early 60s tell me she might be mobile without the need for a walker in another week, but clearly this is not the weekend for me to be 100 miles away.

Sorry to miss the event and seeing everyone, but I'm sure you guys get it.
Hope she recovers quickly and fully!
 
I appreciate the shoutout, but the honor was truly mine to meet The Thin Man, Nick Charles, in person. (A reference to the radio play Steve and colleagues put on live yesterday.) I loved your outfit, the royal blue pinstripe shirt with matching tie, and charcoal gray fedora. It all coordinated superbly with that pair of "radio socks" pictured above.

Ed Murrow would've been proud.
 
Did you ever make it down on Saturday, cc?
I tried, but I got delayed.

I finally got there around 2:45, hot and tired because I had to walk 3-1/2 blocks because I couldn't find any parking.

I looked around at the exhibits, but it was so busy I couldn't really figure out who was who, so I never really connected.

Hopefully I can try again at another (hopefully smaller and quieter) event?
