Sorry and glad to hear that you seem to be doing OK.
To me right now, anywhere that isn't extremely cold and/or snowy sounds wonderful, although a hospital isn't what I have in mind.

A friend just texted me from the upper deck (in Y) on a LH A380 about to depart LAX for FRA, continuing on to IST.
Another friend is in LA tonight enroute to HKG tomorrow, then the next day on to DPS.
I'm at home in PIT, after having spent 3 days last week in the hospital with absolute ZERO desire to go ANYWHERE!. <Thanking you in advance for not asking for details - I'm fine, at the moment>

We'll see temperatures in the 90s with high humidity too.

MAEN!
Of course! I was here at least 20 minutes early yesterday. Today I was 22 minutes early. I always leave home early as a contingency plan for weather, stupid drivers, and unexpected other events that might make me late.
Happy Thorsday Eve!

Happy Thorsday Eve! I was to work almost an hour early this morning. I met a friend for breakfast and when we left, I just headed to work. So tired now.

Well I have been in the south for 7 months now. I am still fixin to learn how to use "I will be fixin' to--" in the correct context. IIRC Thomas Hudson was a good old southern boy. Pity, he could have taught me.

I've been in The South and South-adjacent for 20+ years at this point, and I still hold that while I find 'y'all' is actually a very useful phrase, and 'bless their heart' is so wonderfully passive-aggressive when you're doing it right, I want to never ever find myself falling into the 'fixin' to' speech pattern.

... If you want a "big red bear" winery, go to Frog's Leap (early leader in organic/sustainable operations) in the main part of Napa (Oakville and close to the main road in the valley IIRC) or HLR (Heller Family Vineyards) way up a dirt road from Calistoga.

IIRC this one is vaguely on the east side of Napa Valley, on the east side of the road and not far from Stag's Leap (the original one, I know the label but can never remember the spelling) and Pine Ridge. It's supposedly wonderful (and expensive), but I've never been able to get an appointment there.
Not in the same category, but I like Clos Pegas in Calistoga partly due to its sculpture collection. ... Mantazas Creek is also good ...

we kept to Sonoma ... consensus was that it was not worth driving over to Napa in 4” with flood warnings abounding
yesterday’s stops were at Cline and Jacuzzi (their sister operation across the road); this morning — well, more accurately, closer to noon — we went to the Adobe Road tasting room which is about five minutes’ walk from where we were staying in Petaluma
