Pity to miss Loreena, but while recuperating, sing along however you can.

Sucks to be you with this interruption of planned pleasures. Sorry James....

Good luck with the surgery. Listen to your doctor wife. The timing sucks but you'll have another chance to see Rosie and Loreena again, I'm sure. Heal well and quickly.

I can't "Like" this. Plans didn't work out for you this time. Only good thing is you still can make plans that include the people you love and the people who love you.

I'm sure you are clear what I'm hinting at considering what may have been planned if it were not for modern medicine. Looking for that silver lining.

No question I’ll be thinking of you and your medical team on the 10th and wishing all of you strength. When our son was in the hospital years ago I decided to finally read Christopher McDougall’s Born To Run (a nod to his and his dad’s passion of long distance running). Pretty sure you’ve read it but it’s great the second time around too.

Oh, damn! I'm so sorry you don't get this visit with Rosie. I'm wishing you the best, and hope the surgery goes as well as is possible, and that you heal quickly! ❤️‍🩹💚

My surprise and smile it elicited that you hit on two of my favorite things in Negra Modello and Loreena was overridden by my concern for your medical condition and upcoming surgery. Instead of saying, "All the best!", I'll imply it by wishing you more dinners with NM beer (or, better yet, your most favorite) and attending another performance of Loreena. We saw her here in Eugene, Oregon, and, as expected, she was brilliant! Oh, and All the Best!
