Hi Helen

Hey Jen
12:56 pm
JenMO16
How are things in Chicago?
12:59 pm
helenkeller
Well, it's mid-July, so fairly normal: rainy, hot, very humid. Block party on next block continues, food/craft fest continues in park - both just steps away. Gonna hit them up soon? Same in KC?
1:01 pm
JenMO16
I am here in KC so I would need a super sonic to get there. Staying in today, rained this morning, humid now. Laundry day and a baseball game on. Wimbeldon on at 2 PM.
1:03 pm
helenkeller
Jen - I heart tennis, used to play. By mistake, I saw the scores already - grrrrr. Wanna know who wins? No? Didn't think so :)
1:04 pm
JenMO16
please, I didn't realize or forgot they played early this morning
1:04 pm
helenkeller
LOL - I'm still gonna watch, cause I'm guessing we're going to see some great play.
1:04 pm
JenMO16
Haven't seen new either.
1:05 pm
helenkeller
Oh Jen, I would NEVER do a spoiler, ever.
1:05 pm
JenMO16
I am surprised I haven't seen anything in news on the web, not even on my main page.
1:06 pm
helenkeller
Well, don't look at the news. That's how I got in trouble. Hate when that happens, cause I want to 'be there, where the action is' - not watching what the action 'was.'
1:06 pm
JenMO16
I understand!
1:06 pm
JenMO16
I just want to see Serena's baby!
1:06 pm
helenkeller
Jen, that's where I saw it on my homepage, news & clicked before I knew what I was doing & saw the score.
1:07 pm
JenMO16
I haven't even looked through the chog.
1:08 pm
helenkeller
Do you think she'll bring her baby? It is truly an amazing feat to reach the finals of Wimbledon - period. After giving birth 10 months ago - WOW.
1:11 pm
JenMO16
Yep, hey just realized or paid attention, The Royals are playing in Chicago! Delayed till 1:30 PM
1:19 pm
helenkeller
You remember that player's strike they had way back when? I was so pissed they couldn't resolve it and we had a full season of really crappy baseball, that I vowed I would never go to or watch another game. I've been to a ton of games, used to hang out in the left field bleachers at Wrigley. I have stayed true to my word - 2 exceptions. When they put in the - omg, I am totally spacing the word here - special enclosed seating, people wait on you, chairs super comfy, tv's, companies usually buy those - anyway I went to SKYBOX - that's the word, right. Cubs 24 - Rockies 22, I believe the OT was 22 innings. Amazing game. Also once to the new home of the Sox, which is crazy steep.
1:21 pm
helenkeller
I have this thing now where words don't come to me at times. If it's an object, I can picture it in my head & get the word that way (usually). But if it's an abstract or concept word, I have to work around it - kinda means this, but not quite, may start with a 'c' - I don't like this. But that's why it so long to write that last post - sheeesh. Skybox!!!
1:22 pm
JenMO16
Are you watching now, they are recognizing old players, I didn't realize Bo Jackson played for them!
1:25 pm
helenkeller
Nope, tv is off. I remember Bo Jackson. What was the phrase? Bo knows? I don't think that's it. But it was well-known. Who did he play for before?
1:25 pm
JenMO16
Kansas City was his first stint
1:26 pm
JenMO16
It was Bo knows
1:26 pm
helenkeller
He also played for the White Sox
1:27 pm
helenkeller
But first he played for the Raiders - football. He was an amazing athlete & seemed like a really nice guy too.
1:28 pm
helenkeller
Thanks Jen - those were neurons that haven't fired in, ummmm, forever :)
1:33 pm
helenkeller
Nice chatting Jen - gonna check out the party in the park before Wimbledon starts. Catch ya later.

North of Seattle, tiny town at the base of the Cascade Mountain range. Loving it. Hamilton is so pretty too. Say, have you ever played with or met the Idaho monk who plays harp for the critically ill and dying?
3:14 pm
harpjane
I don't think so but there are a lot of palliative harpists in the area
3:14 pm
harpjane
there was a program that taught it here for a while
3:15 pm
ch1212
I thought that would be a wonderful coincidence, so thought I would ask. We know him. I believe he also offers teaching retreats for area harpists, though I could be mistaken.
3:16 pm

palliative harpists are a dime a dozen around here. sort of like banjo playing nuclear physicists in Hanford!
3:17 pm

What an absolutely wonderful concept :-palliative harpists. Truly inspirational!
3:17 pm
harpjane
(you have to live here to get it!)
3:18 pm
harpjane
yes, it's a wonderful practice, soodle. I considered it but decided to be a palliative comedian instead. it's a niche market.....
3:19 pm
Soodle
Having said that, I had a harpist at my wedding. I shoukd have opted for the comedian :-/
3:19 pm
ch1212
I think palliative comedians should definitely be a thing! Truly! I would request one if I were in hospice care.

I'm working on that admirable trait. Today (prepping for a non-profit board meeting I chair) I had to remind myself to let go and have fun. I get wound up getting every little detail in place. I admire you, harp.
