Yep, cold, going to snow, it's January and we've been cooped up for almost a year by the virus. Bahamas in 2022 sounds like fun to plan!

Great idea!
Life is so so much better absent TOB. And there are so many trolls, peeps who don't give a rat's a about UCOnn WBB, and prefer other teams. So far we don't have any of those here. We are just a little clutch of homies. I love it.

What are they whining about now, Ken? I don't go over there. One thing is the inability to get at Anna's leg diagnosis etc. They are fighting among themselves over HIPPA and FERPA. I don't read that junk. |

Actually, Danny's on a bball hiatus - that was decided pre-covid, but covid made it easier. We still talk, but more about hiking than bball. |

I hope this isn't too off-topic but your reference to HIPPA reminds me of an incident that was frustrating at the time and is now a little more amusing. No basketball connection so skip to the next post if you only want to hear about basketball. I managed my late mother's finances including medical bills. One day I received a bill from a hospital which puzzled me, because I had not realized that she had been to the hospital. I called the hospital to talk about the bill so I could get a better understanding of what was going on. The person I talked to was very nice. As she started explaining the situation, I was initially puzzled that she was using present tense rather than past tense. I interrupted and said that I was asking about something from a few months ago but was this woman telling me that my mother was in the hospital at the moment? She paused, collected herself and asked "are you telling me that you don't know your mother is in the hospital?". I said that's correct, this is news to me. The woman said "sorry, then I'm not permitted to talk to you" and hung up. I drove to the hospital three hours away. It turned out not to be life-threatening. The nurse explained that when they brought my mother in, they asked her if they could contact me. She said, "oh no, I don't want to bother him". The person I was talking to in billing assumed that permission had been granted and that's why I was calling, but per HIPPA rules, if they asked permission to let me know she's in the hospital and she declines, they are legally not permitted to talk to me about it in any way. My mother was obviously trying to be nice, but it didn't work out that way. We had to fill out some paperwork making it clear that the hospital could contact me in future situations. Whenever someone mentions HIPPA, that's the first thing that pops into my head. |

My mother was obviously trying to be nice, but it didn't work out that way. We had to fill out some paperwork making it clear that the hospital could contact me in future situations. Whenever someone mentions HIPPA, that's the first thing that pops into my head. Yes, HIPPA does create some complicating issues in getting health information. My son was taken to the hospital a year ago. His roommate found him unconscious on the floor and non-responsive. The EMTs would not let him come to the hospital (literally on top of the hill a street away from their house) because he was not family. His roommate didn't have our home phone number or cell phone numbers, my son had never shared it with him. So the roommate called my younger son in California. Before my younger son called us he wanted to see what the status before putting us into a panic. So he called the hospital, explained that he was my older son's brother, my son's roommate had told him his brother was in the hospital and he wanted to find out the situation. The hospital would only confirm that he was in the hospital, that he was in critical condition but stabilizing but other than that would not give him any additional information. Younger son then had to call us with all he knew "He is in critical condition, unconscious and intubated, but stabilizing". I was the emergency contact for my eldest son at that time (not sure I still am....long story). So, we went up to the hospital where they confirmed that he was still unconcious and intubated to stabilize his breathing because it had been very irregular when they brought him in. In talking to the nurse and sharing what my younger son said, she said even if I had called, or even if my younger son was the emergency contact, they would not have shared detailed information over the phone because they had no way to confirm whether they were in fact talking to the emergency contact, family member or someone else. Because I was the emergency contact and could prove my identify, and was at the hospital, as his parents they then shared with us what was going on. HIPPA is great - except when someone is unconscious and cannot speak for themselves. Then it can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you can't be there in person and have to rely on telephone communication. |

George, man... Did you see Prince take over on that song one evening at a musical memorial for George. Whew. When I was young, I didn't appreciate George - all the focus on John and Paul, a bit for "goofy/lovable" Ringo. With time, that changed..a lot. George's solo work and his "Traveling Willbury's" collaboration really made me appreciate him. You've probably seen "A Concert For George", but, if you haven't... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concert_for_George..check it out. It's simply wonderful. In this gathering, I believe Clapton did "While My Guitar", and it brings goosebumps.. |

I don't read that junk. HIPPA protects a person's privacy regarding medical records and other related things! So it makes sense that BONEHEADS on TOB want to know all??? I leave the diagnosis to the UConn Medical Professionals and TOB can suk an egg!!  Anna has been seemingly struggling for this entire Covid season and sore legs can throw off your shot among other things?? I just hope she gets well soon and has a productive season! |

Bahamas sounds like fun. However, already planning 50th (51st, @#$%ing Covid) birthday get-away for the wife in Aruba next winter. Probably can't pull off both.

And then; if I'm reading this correctly, she's taking us on a field trip there next November!!!! WHAT???
