A busy day today, which included a visit to the Library of Congress. And in the tunnel, I ran into Geanie Jackson (Miss Jackson, if you please!). Seeing her made the whole trip worth it!

Big day in physical therapy. Advanced to orange barbell (6 pounds) and blue theraputty (firm). Officially arrived at the Butch level of hand therapy. You should see me handle a fork--inspiring. Soon to be a major motion picture.

Lunch with Gene Berry at Ruta! Lunch with a good friend and a pierogi platter--can't get any better than that !!

• Meatless Ukrainian Borscht, with Pampushka

• Tsvikli, horseradish beet salad
• Meat Holubtsi, meat-stuffed cabbage with sour cream

Playing with head shots, just in case the Oscars call!
