Joining in with colonoscopy info...isn't this a fun thread!!!!
I took my mom about 3 years ago and the time frame was about the same as Carol's, about 6 hours start to finish. MP - you may want to see if Amy can get a ride with someone else, or if the hospital isn't too far, plan to leave and get Amy then head back for your mom. She'll be released only once she's fully awake and recovered from the anesthetic and some people take longer than others.
We watched Star Wars on Sunday E...we won't have the dvd set until birthdays roll around in December....and I agree about all the cheesy, but great lines. Did you catch the special on the making of Star Wars, I think it was on A&E. It showed the auditions and lots of early stuff.
Finally, the final game update. Richard didn't show and I saw him at the soccer fields with their daughter so he had a convenient excuse. Boy Wonder played and Mommie Dearest (my other name for her won't pass the censors!

) sat parked in her van directly behind the backstop. Matt was catcher for the final inning so she had a great view of him!!!!

When the game ended Boy Wonder started to line up with the team...but then Mommie yelled at him from the van so he walked off the field, gathered his stuff, and left the dugout.
Now, how does that look to most people....and most of these people came from other leagues. A kid is snubbing an entire team because his Mommy told him too.

I'm done with them....as long as there are no further problems with Matt making a team in the Spring. They're the one's who will continue to look like jerks.
