What Are You Doing Today?

@Beth Gallagher - true, but I think the reason
is because she is older,and terminal,as there is not much they can do anymore. Plus always crowded according to her.
She has ,short version, a calcified aorta since birth.Since age of three in and out of hospitals.
They go in and clean it out, but is just comes back. At early age a doctors mistake made her have a stroke which complicated things even more.When doctor told her last year the time is growing nearer, I asked her how would I know (she has no one really) when she was gone. She said, because its in my Will my atty or someone is to notify you, I lost it.

About 25 years ago, my son sent me a CD titled "Open Pipe Symphony", which I am listening to "as we speak". Since I live alone, I have it cranked up about as loud as it will go.

It was recorded in France in 1997. No music, just the sound of high performance race cars going down the track. The first one is about 4 minutes of a 3.5 1 Ferrari V-12 F1 Testing At Paul Ricard Circuit. #7 is a Bugatti, 1928 Type 35. A total of 17 tracks and over an hour long.

My father raced on local Ohio dirt tracks in the late 40s and early 50s. Nothing as fancy as these cars. And my son, in the late 80s built his own stock car and raced on a dirt track in Texas. They are both gone now, and somehow listening to this "symphony" makes me feel still connected to them.

She is a realist.
