TT: For those who've asked

My mother had two major operations in the past few days to relieve and repair an intestinal blockage. Amazingly--though I guess we shouldn't be surprised at such things anymore--she appears yet again to be recovering with unexpected speed. Indeed, her doctors have assured me that it's now safe for Mrs. T and I to resume our travels, so we'll be heading up to Wisconsin tomorrow to see three performances by American Players Theatre , though you can bet that we'll be keeping our cellphones on.

I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, heartfelt thanks to all those who wrote or posted with good wishes.
