((((Nikki)))) I just got caught up--lost your thread for a bit.
Glad that you had a killer time with Bruce! If you do come to NJ for a show, you better visit with me (only an hour away).
Sorry about the cold. Reminded me of some of the worse health I had, back at the bomb and 9 months out from that (including pink eye that made the doctor say Yuck!) Hope that your voice comes back soon--whispering is supposed to be worse than talking softly.
And your grandmother....poor thing. My mom was like that for more years than I can recount. I will be keeping her in my thoughts.

Just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you, my dear friend.
