Good luck on the European tour. We just saw Judy Collins in Queen's Hall in Edinburgh, where you'll be playing. It's a beautiful old church with 800 seats and great acoustics.
My daughter-in-law is one of those nice people who work at Mayo. She revels in her work. Our grand daughter was born at St. Mary's, next door to Mayo. She required surgery when she was less than a day old. Mayo doctors made her right again. It is a beautiful and magical place, even for those of us who are merely visiting. But you failed to mention the cafeteria. My wife and I have lunch there when we visit Rochester. Not only is there great food served by people who clearly like what they are doing, but we usually shared a table with folks from who knows where and have pleasant conversations. Yes, Mayo deserves its reputation. I'm glad that it is there to extend your time with us.
"Steady cheerfulness?" That's not natural. I daily seek out, log, and relish such people to interact with. I'm that type who joyfully awaits, chomping at the bit, to receive those online surveys that immediately follow a customer service call or brick and mortar purchase. I'd like to live in a Mayo world, so I memorize the kind and competent clerks names, hoping such rarities rise in the ranks to a leadership position. I flagrantly write, "They deserve a raise, a promotion." May Mayo's business culture have a trickle-down effect on our world. Till then, my healthy and determined heart, dwells in tenderness.
Bless you in your good health and cheerfulness at this point in your life. But I wonder if you’re a little batty, working as hard & often as you do. You are setting a high bar for those of us who are mere septuagenarians. Nevertheless, keep it up, and my wife Mary Riche and I will see you on July 14 at the St. Paul show.
Good sir; I see you are coming to my home town on September 20, 2024! I spent the first 27 years of my life in Fairfield. Went away to law school in California (where I discovered your wonderful radio show PHC) and am now retired, back in Bridgeport, Connecticut, the city I was born in, next to Fairfield, the city I grew up in.
Your sojourn to Connecticut will be like "when the saints come marching in." "Oh I want to be in that number, when the saints come marching in!"
This is a very enjoyable piece! I laughed out loud at the outset,and was going to read it aloud to my husband as we drive east for a visit with our families, but he had read it already this morning. His comment: “It’s a good one.”
That's a busy travel schedule! I'm going to try to make it to one of those shows. I'll be the one in a T-shirt with a big red X through the campaign slogan "When you're a star they let you do it. They let you do anything."
It's been quite a long time since we have seen you here in Florida. Is there any chance you might come this way again? (I know what this might entail for you, so don't worry if it's not posssible.
We shall enjoy your show from wherever it comes. Great gratitude for all these years!
ah, lucky you. it just ain’t happenin’ in texas…good health care, that is, unless one is moneyed, even with obamacare because, you know, insurance companies, among other things. it’s all “come and take it” and lord, god, billy bob. still. after all the civil rights marches, the viet nam war marches, the underground newspapers, ann richards as governor, oil reigns and screams obscenities. happy for you, though. proves it is possible to live well. i am optimistic, even so. may all vote this year because their life depends upon it for sure.

So grateful that you have Mayo nearby, and especially grateful for those who work there…wonderful “helpers”!!
I remember seeing you at Agnes Scott College one September after you’d had a stroke, thinking how grateful we were that Mayo was nearby.
Peace.
Please keep having “more of it.”
We love you, and you bring us joy!
So beautiful.

Darn, I see a typo in my comment and don't see an edit option 😒
In the app there's no edit option, but if you go to the website (in a browser) there is.
Done! Thank you, Dana.

I love to have your personable wit available somewhere up here in the country’s upper left corner.

I spent a similar week at Mayo last June and had a very similar experience. Your comments reawakened my 84 year old memory. Thanks

I did not close parenthesis. Horrors!
It never hurts to keep the doors open for possibilities! A single parenthesii is like
a gesture with your right hand, holding it to the left side of your mouth, touching
the cheek, with the palm facing outward - sotto voce if you will.
