Last night, after the pledge of allegiance and the national anthem, the DNC opened with Patti LaBelle singing as only she can, as a list of those we lost this year appeared on the screen behind her.
Apropos to nothing... I knew Jay Pritzker when I worked for Hyatt. He was in the Management Trainee Program because his father wanted to make sure he understood what people had to do to make his company successful. He worked every shift, worked weekends, and actually got his hands dirty - no special treatment. He was a good kid.
He's always seemed like a mensch. The funny thing is that before he got into politics he was on the other end of the phone when Rod Blagojevich was doing all the nonsense trying to sell Obama's senate seat, that ended him in jail. Pritzker was innocent because basically all he did was listen to the nonsense.
I didn't tune in last night until about 8:20 so I will have to catch up on Patti LaBelle and all the states prior to MA.
Really scary about ICU. So happy you were able to refuse it. During my several months of treatment in 1994 & maybe 1995, I did whatever I could to keep from running a fever, because a fever meant I would have to be hospitalized, and I did not want that! Stay well!! xo
I found the video, plus more playlists -- I will post them. I understand about the fever -- I was under the same warning. I am SO GLAD you have been a survivor so long. Love and hugs.
Beautifully written. I am a cancer survivor also. I do not understand why Facebook removed it after I shared it, saying it “violated their community standards.” It’s absurd.
CONGRATULATIONS on being a survivor! It is such a gift to be able to greet each day without cancer. Facebook? They're terrible. You should be able to just post the link -- I was able to do that -- but NEVER FORGET that they're in the tank for the GOP. Again -- CONGRATS!

YouTube heard you. Actually they provided a playlist last night. I just happened to hear about it in the wee hours. This is one of several I found in a search. 3 hrs. and 52 min. https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgloohoycjqMiZKQz1ctfdfBgt5JvD_h0
