Matthew's Hiccups
Matthew Abis, (a 20 something yr old guy with Down Syndrome)had open heart surgery yesterday. They replaced some pulmonary valves & fixed a bunch of other things. He's doing real well & is up & alert (a heckuva lot better than Uncle Yossie was 1 day after his surgery). Anyway i go down to LeBonheur hospital to visit him, & he's got these real bad hiccups which as you can imagine after that surgery is causing him a lot of pain. The nurse was in there trying to figure something out.
I suggest our hiccup remedy of squeezing the ears while drinking, & it of course worked immediately! So that was cool. I think I'll bill their insurance for that.
Then on the way home, Boris hiccuped & finally gave out on Walnut Grove & Mendenhall. Not wanting to hear about me on the rush hr traffic reports, I got it started one more time & got it onto a quiet side street before it died again. The heat index was only 115 while I waited for AAA. So Boris is at the mechanic & hopefully we'll have a prognosis tomorrow. I'm glad I was driving it today & not Ima.

Belly-buttons key to success in sport: study
WASHINGTON (AFP) – Scientists have found the reason why blacks dominate on the running track and whites in the swimming pool: it's in their belly-buttons, a study published Monday shows.
What's important is not whether an athlete has an innie or an outie but where his or her navel is in relation to the rest of the body, says the study published in the International Journal of Design and Nature and Ecodynamics.

My weekend
I had a nice weekend. Miriam and her friend Barbara came for dinner on Friday night. Then Miriam came over inthe afternoon and we took a little walk. She bumped into a family she knew from Dallas. Then I walked her to Barbara's apartment. Next month Barbara will be renting an apartment accross the street from me. That familyis moving to Silver Spring so are subletting theor apt. I will hopefully see more of Miriam next year.
Then Uncle Nat and Aunt Henna came to queens to the cemetery and Imet them at Carlos and Gabby for a late lunch. I had made Spinach Rice casserols and sent them to MD and CT. Now I will make another one for me.
