Well, you've read the notes, the notes had further ado, much ado, and Ado Annie, and now it is time for you to post until the ado cows come home.

From last night:
My Tacoma library card is now null and void.

Tom, it might not be.  Some libraries around the state have reciprocal borrowing agreements so that if you're in the area, you can check out items, even though you don't live in their area.  You still need to return them on time.  It's especially a good thing if/when you use digital services like OverDrive.  If your local library didn't purchase a particular downloadable digital audiobook or e-book item, you can download it from another library system.  It's quite useful...if you use the service. :)

I know he's 50 years old and quite responsible, but as his father, I will still "worry" until he comes safely home.

Birdy Barnum is throwing the pistachio nuts and the walnuts out of his food bowl onto the floor.

The inner web keeps saying that parakeets WANT treats - but everything I've tried has been rejected....whether in a special treat cup OR mixed in with the regular food.

He also leaves the sunflower kernels on one side of the cup....

Thanks but NO thanks!

Physical therapy was a lot of painful fun today.  The massage of the kinks in the muscles of my left thigh was particularly god-awful, but Jen is back from her maternity leave, and I adore her.  Today was also the 3rd birthday of Gurjeet's labradoodle Shelby, who hangs out at the office, so we all had cupcakes.

DR JOHN G mentioned Anne Baxter last night.....I've always found her passing to be very sad....  She was only 62....suffered a stroke hailing a cab on Madison Avenue - it wasn't until she was taken to the hospital that her identity was discovered......eight days on life support....then her family pulled the plug.

I also didn't know that she was originally cast as Katharine Hepburn's younger sister in the Broadway cast of The Philadelphia Story - but that Hepburn didn't think much of her acting and she was let go.....

Lately, I’ve been partial to chicken enchiladas with a salsa verde on top. Fish with a tomato-olive-caper sauce is also wonderful. Heck, just give me the whole menu. Love a breakfast taco in a handmade tortilla.

Physical therapy was a lot of painful fun today.  The massage of the kinks in the muscles of my left thigh was particularly god-awful, but Jen is back from her maternity leave, and I adore her.  Today was also the 3rd birthday of Gurjeet's labradoodle Shelby, who hangs out at the office, so we all had cupcakes.

I feel your pain. Had to schedule a massage to deal with this crick in my neck that won’t let me turn my head to the left.

I hope it helps.  I would love to return to a good massage once in awhile.  For years I had to go every week just to function.  If I knew someone here I might go for one.  It is a bit stressful going to someone knew when the potential for hurting me is there.

It was excellent. I’m going back post-Chicago trip.

Wonderful.

Fires do not start themselves.  This one near the Getty was caused by someone doing something stupid.  People are basically morons - tossing lit cigarettes out of their cars, or homeless encampments using fire to cook or whatever. 

I forgot about a couple starting near homeless encampment. :(

Working at the piano for a bit, recorded a tune, now am listening to the final two Dvorak symphonies.  Made notes in my script - I don't like to plan too much, but I sketched out the opening two pages just to see how all that crossing would work.  But I endlessly change things as I see the actors and their rhythms.

My favorites are veggie tacos with sour cream and guacamole and cheese enchiladas with rice and beans and sour cream and guacamole. I also like veggie burritos, but they vary greatly from restaurant to restaurant. I like the avocado burrito--beans, cheese, lettuce and guacamole.

My brother said he is dealing with smoke.  DR Jeanne are you far enough away that the smoke isn't bothering you?

Jane, when the fires first started several weeks ago it was surprisingly smoky here. I pulled out my air purifier and have kept it on day and night. It wasn't smoky when I went outside earlier, but I tried to talk to someone on the phone a few minutes ago and had no voice.

I knew about the Getty fire, but thought it was small and localized. I was SHOCKED to see that the evacuation area includes all of Brentwood. That's much, much too close to home. Much, of course, depends on the winds. Right now it's not smoky, but that could change quickly.

The air purifier is a great idea.  Good luck with your breathing.

I did learn that audio books have an option to speed it up which is one person did to finish it in time.

DR JOHN G mentioned Anne Baxter last night.....I've always found her passing to be very sad....  She was only 62....suffered a stroke hailing a cab on Madison Avenue - it wasn't until she was taken to the hospital that her identity was discovered......eight days on life support....then her family pulled the plug.

I also didn't know that she was originally cast as Katharine Hepburn's younger sister in the Broadway cast of The Philadelphia Story - but that Hepburn didn't think much of her acting and she was let go.....

I think the younger Virginia Weidler was a better casting decision.


She wasn’t in the Broadway production.
