Harbingers?

 3:37 am Sat

This is the 3rd "spell" in 24 hours. The one about this time yesterday, then again this evening around 9 pm and now, at 3:30 am. I'm thinking of emailing Dr Hawk (administers the MAID) to ask him to be on alert.

It spirals really fast. I have about 10 minutes from the first twinges until it's full-bore headache, right shoulder & arm start to hurt, pain begins to impair my ability to function. 

We had the syringe loaded w .5ml (of morphine) but i had to go to the kitchen to put in koolaid. Otherwise i throw it up. With the koolaid i can keep it down...at least so dar. 

It's easing off now, but these feel like harbingers.

Sixteen hours before the Valdez struck Bligh Reef, fisherwoman Rikki Ott (her website) testified to the Mayor's Oil Action Committee in Valdez argued for more industry oversight and disaster preparation (p. 60). Her Wiki page.

Jenna McClintock, Ballerina

Early exposure to ballet triggered unbridled enthusiasm when I chanced upon Marta Becket's Armagosa Opera House outside Death Valley.

Ms. Becket was 91 in 2016 and I could not get an audience. Jenna was dancing frequently and the experience was magical. Here's a link to my blogpost with some details.

A few days ago randycofer-r3n8i left an appreciative comment on the Youtube video I made of Jenna dancing. It is one of the amazing things about travel...stumbling upon artistry and beauty.

Here she is dancing her original work, Bailar.

Here's a link to a current website about her.
