Given the way things went today, I'd have rather "invested" my money in a Bialystock and Bloom production. It would have been just as much of a waste of time as I had while trying to see my cousin in the hospital before he is moved to hospice tomorrow.

The weather was perfect for a day out as Marian. However, I planned to spend the day as Mario because I didn't want to visit my extended family as Mario - they have enough to deal with, given that my cousin doesn't have long to live. So, around 3 pm, I started on my drive to Poughkeepsie.
When I reached the hospital, I stopped at the receptionist's desk and asked what room my cousin was in. The receptionist couldn't locate him. (Some people are just plain worthless for even the simplest of tasks, but I would find that out on my ride home.) After 5-10 minutes of trying to locate him, she had no luck. So I left, and started my drive home. About a half hour later my niece once removed called me with the room number. AARGH! Since I was much closer to home than the hospital, I realized that it wasn't worth going back to Poughkeepsie in rush hour.
Tomorrow, I'll be driving to pick up luggage from RQS while my cousin is being taken to hospice in Central New Jersey. As soon as I have the information, I will try to make it there - probably on Wednesday, if I do so at all. If not, I doubt I'll be able to go until after my cruise - if he's still above ground. Since my niece has my contact information, I'll be sure to have his current status when I get back.

Now, where can I get my tickets to the revival of "Springtime for Hitler?"
