I found it!

It is John Jacobson, whose special signature move is "double dream hands."

I feel edified!

I love the word "cerulean."

I have never really thought of it prior to the book.

DR John I am reading The House in the Cerulean Sea.  By the end of the book still you still enjoy it?

Thanks.  I am interested yet not sure I want to finish it.  I will keep reading.

You can probably skip to the last two chapters.

Started listening to Something More, which I've been meaning to do for a while. I forgot Sammy Fein wrote the score with the Bergmans. Nice job. He was a client of yours, DR Druxy, right?

I went to the bank today, followed by Trader Joe's. Trader Joe's was surprisingly quiet today. I'm not sure what that means.

Then I stopped for tacos. Tacos have become my default. If nothing much appeals I choose tacos.

I will be very glad when we can go out to eat again. I just hope there will still be a few restaurants left.

That's funny.  Often I skip to the last two chapters.  Are you including the epilogue?

Watching Baryshnikov and Liza Minnelli on Broadway. Never saw it before:

Liza singing His Is the Only Music That Makes Me Dance is wonderful.

The ending was great, but strange. Baryshnikov joins the cast of A Chorus Line to dance One. It's a showstopper in which the chorus is the star, right? Baryshnikov does dance like anyone else on the line. But the camera keeps singling him out for closeups, though he's doing his best not to stand out.

I've done about eight pages, I guess - hard to tell because I wrote a few things then decided to move them a bit later in the chapter. But I'll mush on and do another seven or eight, as I'm nearing the end of a chapter.

Finished a sad novel tonight called Radish. Chinese. Very different. I liked it, but I have had enough sad.
