Somewhere Over The Rainbow

[jcollie719]

I hope a good night's sleep tonight will help my voice heal. A lack of sleep (due to my cold symptoms keeping me awake the past few nights) tends to weaken it. If I don't hear at least a partial improvement by Tuesday, I'll ask my dad to call an ear, nose and throat specialist. One of KRCC's listeners, who spoke through the aid of an electronic speech device, urged me to be checked for throat cancer since that's how her voice became damaged. It definitely wouldn't hurt to check for that, so I'll see if any ENTs will accept my health discount plan. I don't smoke, but I do spend a little time around co-workers who do.

Another LJ user had posted the lyrics to "Over The Rainbow" from The Wizard Of Oz in a recent entry. I was reminded of Mandy Patinkin performing this song on Late Night With David Letterman in 1987 or 1988.
