Well, now you have 3 reasons that you cant see Bruce tonite - just wasnt in the cards for you this time.
Hope your ER experience wasnt too horrible, you get your Mom set up OK, strap on a knee brace or two for Sat., and off you go.
PS nj.com will have first 3 songs on-line tomorrow.

This is funny .. in a side conversation JMQ knew that I had already bailed on tonight's Bruce show right here smack dab in the swamps of Jersey because of my knee. Normally it wouldn't prevent me from going to a show but I was nervous about romping around the Meadowlands 2 days before vacation. In a surprising move to many this time vacation trumped Bruce.

My mother is OK .. bruised and hurtin but no fractures or anything which brings a MAJOR sigh of relief.

So pretty stressful day all in all. And I just quit working and come downstairs from my office. Charlie's got Bob Marley on the stereo and he set up a little cocktail party for us and he said "I'd figure we'd have our own little tail gate party to start our vacation".

Well I was doing good right up to that point but then everything I was holding in just came pouring out in a flood of tears!
Well, enough of that nonsense! Off to drink some VI Pale Ales.
Charlie is officially on vacation now but I still have to work tomorrow

Thanks for caring ........

Oh MaryBeth,
How I know what you are going through. I have a serious knee problem also and the Dr's always say an replacement is called for. I've been putting it off for a couple of years now. Every time I go to STJ it somehow disappears.It must be the heat and the salt water! Or maybe just the ambiance the island puts forth.
My Mom has a heart problem and seeing that I'm her only caretaker it may prevent me from my usual 2 weeks in Aug.
Hope that you have a wonderful trip and your knee problems just disappear for a while.
I'll be thinking of you!Love that Charlie!

Dear MB - so glad your mom is OK. Sorry that you were so stressed, but that Charlie IS a sweetheart. I think you two are such a sweet couple

Have a wonderful and safe trip and just let go of all that stress.

Glad to hear your mom is OK.

I feel lucky that I will meet your lovely Charlie. I'll see you too, Mary Beth, at the airport TOMORROW. Let's just all go to the island and relax...
