Freezin’ Temps, Freezin’ Our Patooties
Shawangunk Mountain range protects us from a direct hit by storms, yet we’re high enough for the additional sharply cold, bone-chilling indoors as well as the outdoor elements. Yuri is especially sensitive to the cold. So are his instruments.

Save a Life, Wear a Mask, Give Blood
Thinking back to the critical care moments, hours, days, weeks, how fortunate we are having had the care Yuri so desperately needed during a short lull in the pandemic. A summer hiatus. Play the reruns before the new fall schedule comes out in TV guide. There’s a national shortage of blood donations. I’m scheduled to give blood this Saturday, January 15 at 10:15 a.m. St. Kateri Parish Blood Drive in Sparta, NJ. It’s the least I can do. The blood was there for Yuri’s transfusions.

Last light of the day, last day of the workweek, last day of the year. Adios, 2021. It’s been real. Real-life that is, a close call in so many ways. I stopped counting the ways until something else comes up and I remember where we were and where we are now.

Miracle on 91st St+Central Park West
I believe in miracles. And miracle workers. Dr. Woo is giving Yuri his voice back. St. Nicholas, parish namesake, patron saint to seafarers and voyagers.

In Mount Sinai Waiting Room
Today, I sit in the waiting room of Mount Sinai Hospital, NYC glancing at the lighted board reminiscent of airport Departure times. This surgery is for getting Yuri’s voice back.
