I'm so looking forward to it. It's been so long since I've been able to jawbone down the pulse of life. John, I was torn between keeping the option to make the journey open, as an incentive, and shutting the option down so as not to entice her into further danger to her health. She pretty much decided for herself. Tara and Robin - my mom had COPD, whether it's from moderate smoking herself or being exposed for a lifetime to my dad's 3+-pack a day habit, so she's vulnerable to any aberration in the bronchial cosmos. Thanks again for the good wishes, everyone. Thank you guys for your good wishes for my mom, and for our sojourn in Ashland. I’m so looking forward to it.

Our parents are definitely getting older, and they do seem more susceptible to illnesses. My mom recovered from her bout of pneumonia, but has had inflammation of her lungs since winter. Oy. Your trip to Ashland sounds delightful as always. Great plays too. Hope you and the missus have a grand time. Glad you mom is out of the “joint” and on the way to feeling better.

Our parents are now getting so old and fragile! How frantic you must've been. Good thing to cancel her plane ticket - no sense in making anything worse. Sounds like a lovely trip ahead, filled with lots of enjoyment. Great plays to see! oh my! Our parents are now getting so old and fragile! How frantic you must’ve been.

Were I in her shoes, I'd be annoyed that you didn't sweep in, push the pneumonia aside, and take her off to Ashland! Seriously, she's far better off taking care of herself (and having others take care of her) back home than wandering around Oregon! Enjoy your time in Ashland and give your mom my most sincere good wishes! I hope your mom continues on the path to being entirely mended very soon.

"Our Town" is my favorite, favorite, favorite play in the whole world. Seriously, I bet a week doesn't go by when I don't think of it. It has changed the way I view the world, and my time with my daughter ... especially the simple ones. Have a great time!
