Sep. 7th, 2014 03:38 pmToday, so far: Had an absolutely lovely first Sunday at Delmar Prez, as they call themselves. Not note-perfect, but only one little glitch that anyone actually noticed. Comments: "Wow!" "So nice to hear a real organist!" and "Felt like you've always been here." Reception afterwards with a cake with my name on it, and a punch fountain, how fun! Folk were just incredibly friendly and welcoming.
Afterwards the three of us had lunch at a local restaurant, and it was just utterly perfect: diner-type breakfast menu but with some contemporary twists, and done very well, in a nicely renovated old house; live guitar music amplified just enough to hear, but still easy to converse. We'll go back!
Yesterday evening: one member at Delmar gave us two tickets to see Joshua Bell, and another sold us two tickets, so off we went. Really an excellent concert, and overall delightful experience. The crowd was happy and enthusiastic and very respectful.
Earlier: on Friday I dropped off two prescriptions for Laura. A few hours later she got an automated call saying they were ready. We went to pick them up at noon Saturday-- and discovered that only one was ready. The other couldn't be transferred from Vermont because it's a controlled substance, and they hadn't bothered to call on Friday to let us know. So we found out on Saturday, when the doc's office was closed, and she had only one pill. Pharmacist suggested we might be able to get the doctor to call in an emergency 5 day supply and then mail a paper scrip, but knowing our practice, that would work only if her doctor was the one on call. So I started calling pharmacies in the closest town in Vermont, Bennington-- and the second one I called was open until 6, and able to transfer the prescription. Kid and I jumped into her truck and drove an hour to pick up the drugs. Luckily once they were in hand Laura entirely relaxed; we played tourist going home and made a nice afternoon of it. But it sure would have been nice if someone had alerted us to this kind of problem sooner-- either her doctor in VT before we left, or the pharmacy here!
