BK, can you (or whoever) confirm that I'm finished with my Indiegogo 10-CD perk?  I've gone ahead and purchased Dames At Sea through PayPal, but if I happen to have another one coming (or I miscounted and I won't actually be getting the last one that I expect to get), I'd like to have it all confirmed.  Thanks!

Six months ago, I took the subway uptown and adopted up a cute little orange and white kitten named Thatch.  For three weeks I feared I had made a major error and at one point, out of pure frustration and feelings of ineptitude, I seriously considered turning him loose on the street to fend for himself.

Well, I didn't.  I made a commitment and had him microchipped and declared him mine. Today Annabelle and I are celebrating Thatch's six month anniversary with us.

I feel better than I did yesterday afternoon, so I'm spending the day in the laundry room.  It's time to replace the winter bedding and wash the dirty clothes.  I'll also spend some of that time there washing out the litter box.

We were watching THE WINSLOW BOY with Robert Donat on TV last night.  It's a good, if overlong, production, and Donat was fine.

However, I remember seeing John Carradine doing the same role back in the mid-1950s at the Cirque Playhouse in Seattle.  It was one of those fantastic stage performance that has remained etched in my mind for 50+ years.

I turned the mattress.  Thatch and Annabelle were having fun jumping and playing on it while I worked . . . until I turned the mattress over on top of Annabelle.  It was accidental, but she stopped playing.  So, to make her happy, we went out for our patrol, saw Val,  walked down to the first floor, and rode the elevator back up.  Thatch, who wants to come along but is too afraid to leave the apartment, cried loudly until we returned.

Damn!

Annie and I also did our dance break about four times last night as we went through the choreography for NYC.  One woman told me it is her favorite part of the show.  Of course she is Annie's mother, but I'll take it.

Last weekend I tried a new eatery, the Carving Board. I'd dismissed it at first, thinking it was a meat-laden smorgasbord, but I'd misjudged it. It's a sandwich shop. My veggie sandwich was very good. Not cheap, but really tasty.

BK, I see that it's a chain. Have you tried it? There's one in Burbank and another in Tarzana.

Pam tells me today that Cecil will likely be able to go home on Saturday. The recovery has been really slow, but it is apparently happening, which is really good news. He didn't want any visitors at the rehab center, so I won't get to see him until he gets home.

I hope he is up to visitors once he is home.

Wednesday evening greetings!  I went to a noon book discussion at the library where my career began and watched THE POST this afternoon with Richard.  We went to Izzy’s for dinner, then to Miami Hamilton to see bluegrass singer Ivy Sheppard.

What did you think of The Post?

I liked it.

I wonder why vixmom’s bus took the GW Bridge. Aren’t they heading for Lancaster County?

No matter, could be a reading comprehension error.  :)
.

It's either the GW or through Manhattan to the Lincoln, can't take the bus on the parkways so can't take the verrazanno

Keith:  "Alexa, does Jane ask too many questions?"

Alexa: "Oh my god Keith she certainly does.  Some days I just want to tell her to pick up a pencil.  How do you cope with that."

(Pencil as in always asking for items to be added to lists)
