I'm ready for my towel now. . .

The condo lifestyle has improved markedly at Danny's Midtown Loft and Bakery, now that Stan's nephew Steve has taken up permanent residency. Consider this morning, for instance. After preparing Dan's hot foot soak with Epsom Salts, Steve worked his magic French Press system, and poured Dan a nice steaming cup of fresh coffee.
Yes, this is better. :)
But seriously, Dan did get some very good news today. After many years of limping and pain, renown orthopedic specialist Dr. Tuttle has approved Dan's recent request for a new hip. The surgery will take place at the adjacent Abbott/Northwestern Ortho Center. Scheduling and schooling will begin soon. Keep your fingers crossed. It's a happy day for all of us.
