Not content with the neighborhood fireworks display on July 3, my wife, Nan, provided some of her own. By the time the ambulance arrives, we have assembled another doctor and several nurses, a veritable M*A*S*H unit. He finally arrives with more apologies than a gate agent on a stormy afternoon. An hour later, Dr. Sexton pronounces the surgery a complete success, and Nan arrives in a haze with plenty of staples in her right leg. Otherwise, enjoy the performance and break a leg.
