Four!

Back from Bible study. Nice evening. I have been getting together with about four members of this group for 15 years. Others have come and gone. We do cook, open a few bottles of vino and talk.

Norman Lear, at 97, has won another Emmy. Go, Norman!

Watching the beginning of Amazing Grace, the film of Aretha Franklin's live gospel concert in 1972. The sound is cranked up. My ears are happy.

We got a couple of waves of raindrops tonight. Not enough to make an actual rain perhaps, but the plants will be happy.

It's been so consistently hot that my last tomatillo plant is just about fried.

Hello, 1 guest!

John G. · « **Reply #97 on:** September 15, 2019, 08:25:30 PM »

What is your favorite Aretha Franklin recording?

John G. · « **Reply #98 on:** September 15, 2019, 08:32:30 PM »

Finished "The Girl Who Lived Twice" tonight. Dreadful. Lizabeth Salander should sue.

Good night, all.

Well, today is the one day that Seven Cars at Boston Harbor Marina will be playing. There will be three shifts of actors. I'm in the first shift at 1:00. Each scene during each shift will be performed six times, so I'll have six chances to get it right. Then, I'm done.

It's over! Well, for now.

It went pretty well. And it didn't rain during the time that I was there (it just sprinkled a bit), so that was good!

George · « **Reply #102 on:** September 15, 2019, 09:29:40 PM »

They somehow accidentally overbooked, so we started early, and even with that, my shift went longer than expected.

George · « **Reply #103 on:** September 15, 2019, 09:34:04 PM »

I wasn't perfect for most of our times, but we got through them without too many goobers...most were from me.

I did get it by about halfway though.

Originally, we were supposed to just do it six times, then the next group would do their hour at 2:00, then the third at 3:00, but we actually got done at about 2:30 instead of 2:00.

George · « **Reply #105 on:** September 15, 2019, 09:40:16 PM »

Instead of doing the original six times through, we had eight groups of audience members, mostly in groups of three.

George · « **Reply #106 on:** September 15, 2019, 09:41:33 PM »

Only two groups had two people.

George · « **Reply #107 on:** September 15, 2019, 09:43:14 PM »

My friend Margo was in the second group and left after she saw the whole thing, so I didn't get to talk with her.

George · « **Reply #108 on:** September 15, 2019, 09:44:38 PM »

I texted her and she said that she liked the play. I'll get details later.

After I left the marina, I wanted to get something to eat, so I went to a local restaurant, Well 80, to have their Impossible Burger again. I really liked it when I had it before.

George · « **Reply #110 on:** September 15, 2019, 09:54:03 PM »

But when I ordered it, they said that they had the Beyond Burger instead. Their website and their in-store menu still said Impossible Burger, though.

George · « **Reply #111 on:** September 15, 2019, 09:56:30 PM »

I went ahead ordered the Beyond Burger. I liked it much better than Burger King's Impossible Burger, but not as much as the Impossible Burger that I got before at Well 80.

George · « **Reply #112 on:** September 15, 2019, 10:05:44 PM »

After that, I came home and have been watching TV and just hanging out.

I am glad overall it went well.

I have found menus on websites are not always trustworthy.

I was expecting you to say this. Did you let the restaurant know?

Jane · « **Reply #118 on:** September 15, 2019, 10:27:51 PM »

I barely slep last night which is probably why I an now cashing.
