My head is still reeling from finding no mail (zilch, zero, nada) in my post office box yesterday

On the up side, I did have two deliveries to my home:  Autographed copies of "Wicked" (Easton Press special edition signed by Gregory Maguire) and Judi Dench's "Shakespeare - The Man Who Pays the Rent".



Lovely. I have a reservation on Dench's book.

I did a home sleep test last night, which means I didn't sleep.

It looks like housemate Nathan needs to start using a CPAP - or it's been suggested - and I think he's going to be doing a sleep test (one or more, I have no idea) in a couple of weeks.

I don't know if I mentioned this already, but...

You may recall I live across the street from where my aunt and uncle lived from 1950 until their deaths in 2021 and 2022. 

The house is occupied, but they don't seem to own a lawn mower.  The yard is awash in dandelions.  A sea of dandelions.  All the other yards are well maintained (or immaculate!), but not this house.

It seems a bit unfriendly to walk over and complain to them, but the fact is that those yellow flowers will very shortly turn into whitish puff balls of seeds and the winds will scatter them hither, thither and yon, all of which means I'll get the bulk of them (being yon between thither and hither).

I have thought about paying someone to cut their yard, but that would be a gross violation of their rights.  Last year, the man of that house used a weed eater and cut the entire yard. 

PO'd in Johnston, I am!

It's a rather consistent hum...like being aware an electrical appliance is turned on.

I recently watched One Two Three for the first time. I cannot remember why I missed it originally since I really wanted to see it.

I’ve had mine for almost 25 years. A real life saver.

No. Thank you. White noise is not for me.

Very sorry to read that Paul Auster died. I have enjoyed several of his novels, especially 4,3,2,1.

From the library, I got the audio of a book Singdaw recommended: Out of the Fryer, Into the Choir. Turns out it’s by a Texas writer.

Jrand, do the actors let you (or the stage manager) know their rehearsal conflicts in advance, or do they sometimes just decide not to show up?
