While reading the Headline, add some music to it, imagine some orphans dancing around and do what I couldn't do with a canned Blog-Website. You go, Oliver!
OK, relevance. I visited the Speech/Swallow Therapist today. I came away with authorization to get back in the eating game. I still have a somewhat limited playbook -- I'm supposed to stay away from heavy meat, breads, things that separate when you eat them (like rice) and I have to be careful with mixed-consistency foods like, for example, chicken-noodle soup where you have a thin broth together with noodles and chicken chunks. When I do eat, I need to have a glass of water handy to help wash stuff down and she suggest lots of sauces and gravy. Other than that, it's pretty much anything I want. I'm supposed to experiment, blend things up in the blender if needed, and try to eat something three times a day.
I'm PSYCHED!!
I jumped right in tonight and had a good sized bowl of clam chowder. It went down pretty darn well, tasted good and got my courage up so I continued on and had two Chocolate Chip Cookies for dessert. Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies, pretty fresh out of the oven.
Jenny and I had talked about going out for Mexican and I'd try a bean burritto or, maybe, Huevos Rancheros. But our Mexican Food buddies, Liz and Keith, were working at a Pancake Dinner fundraiser at school so we decided to wait until Saturday instead. What's up with a Pancake Dinner? I asked them that a few weeks ago when they told me about it. They weren't sure but, apparently, it's a successful fundraiser so who cares.
It's 11:30 and I've not been asleep yet. This is a new record I believe. We checked out Legends of the Fall and watched it with Emily and Tim. Good movie. Little bit of a downer, I suppose, but still watchable. Brad Pitt is almost as good looking in the role as I probably would have been.

That is fabulous news! I'm reading this to your sister over the phone because her husband won't spring for internet access.
Horray food! I have my own food problem here in training - I get a whole tray of food (probably 2 plates worth), but I have very little time to eat it. Being a skinny fellow, that is not helpful in the least. But, we've all learned to suck it down. Forget about tasting the food; we don't have time for that. Alas. Such is life.
