It’s only fitting that my first post-op show-in-mono was the Beatles.

James took me to see a really good tribute band called Rain last night at Toronto’s venerable Massey Hall. They played four nights here at capacity - that’s almost nine thousand people at fifty bucks a pop, 'ka - ching, ka - ching.' James told me last night that our good friend and Brother from Another Mother RG suffers from Meniere's Disease and is deaf on one side. I had no idea.

I had a great night, happy 40th to my brother James - my only blood relative in North America. Slainte!

How does a hearing aid sound for a mid-life vanity present? Harley? Electronic drums? Why not make it a BICROS hearing aid? They cost from about fourteen to twenty-two hundred dollars not including tax, how does that dent your shimmy?
