Got the final track, so all the tracks are done.  And the little mystery project continues to astound me in certain ways.

I'm gonna try a couple of the recommended Kalman operettas - I really was entranced with Duchess of Chicago.

I just learned that there is a sequel to "A Street Cat Named Bob" to be released this December, with Bob again playing himself.  This made my day.

There is also a large new returns box for all those books people have not been able to return.

I also liked

LOVE ME TONIGHT
NAUGHTY MARIETTA

TCM is showing a lot of MacDonald and Eddy films this month, and I am watching them.  I think they are both very good....and Nelson Eddy could be very funny.....as could Jeanette MacDonald.

Although.....I have to say that my favorite JM film is the remake of Smilin' Through that she made with husband Gene Raymond (sugar daddy of Mr. Robert Stack in his early Hollywood days, some say).

Given today's topic, I just read a good review of this book, published in January.

After being closed for three months our library began curbside pickup today.

So did ours, but only at certain branches.

Hmmm, I didn't look to see if this was at all branches.  It is at the one near us where you had your meeting.

I am so relieved:

The governor’s office also said there will be times when it’s appropriate to take off a mask, such as sitting at a restaurant at a safe distance from others, or during solo recreation or recreation with household members.

"Some people are exempt from the requirement: people who are deaf or hard of hearing, while they’re communicating."

In reality that should make everyone I talk to exempt ;D

Why the expression?  I thought you are already wearing a mask inside of markets and places you can't practice social distancing.

I think I used that because even though everyone should be using masks now, I don't think that even with the mandate that some people will start using them.  Hopefully, they will.  We'll see, but I don't know.  Hence... :-\

And now, I'm leaving work and going home.  Tonight will finally be the streaming second act (of three) of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? :D
