And the word of the day is: SCILICET!
DR Jane, yesterday morning Amy Cooper's employers had put her on hold. By late afternoon they made the decision to fire her. I suspect they were getting requests to sack her, and the incriminating video was probably the coup de grâce.
Well MR BK what are you waiting for? Go ahead and watch THE SAND PEBBLES.
I don't know about it being Steve McQueen's best performance, but he is very, very good in it. Candice Bergen has her moments. But the supporting cast really shines.
Walter Denton does a great job here. And this is my favorite David Attenborough performance right up there with BRIGHTEN BEACH.
I also learned that actor Joe DeRida is not the same actor that was in the Three Stooges movies.
It's LONG but it's interesting.....slow moving.....but it gets there.
My boss is leaving us for a much better job. Great for her. Pity party for me.

Vibes this is also good for you.
Larry Kramer has died.

He was a nice man. I used to see him a lot in The Drama Book Shop. I liked his politics and I thought his play The Normal Heart the most important play of the AIDS crisis. The original production at the Public Theatre was stunning, heartbreaking, and brilliant.
I thought she just became your boss DR JOHN G......
OMG I love summer. But it is 95F+ right now. We had this weather yesterday and today. And it is supposed to continue Thursday and Friday. But then it is going way down to around 60F.

Thank you, JRand.
Early on in her too-short tenure, Leah and I were talking, and Alan Jay Lerner came up in our conversation. She broke into Follow Me from Camelot. Another time, a short while later, she started to quote Sondheim, and I was able to finish the quote. Apparently she went to high school with Megan Mullaly, though they haven’t kept in touch. You don’t often find bosses like that in the tech world.

I never miss a Larry Kramer musical.

I live for snow and ice! I'm already dreading the really hot weather. We're around 80F today and I'd be happier 10-15 degreescooler.
I am awaiting the space launch that is happening in 40 minutes or so.....

I'm up, I'm up - ten and a half hours of sleep - don't know why, really. But have been dealing with book stuff (they're gonna give me some freebies for the long delay - severely cut workforce at the printers, Kritzerland show stuff, went to the mail place and picked up shampoo and Pepcid but NOT any of the errant and truant packages, which is not only bothersome it's now outrageous. Will deal with those folks momentarily, but must now order food. Lots of fun texts today with Brent and Christiane.
My friend Carol is in the hospital. Don’t know why. It might be related to her Lyme disease. It might be COVID. But if it is the virus, they won’t know. There are apparently no tests in upstate New York.
It’s not been a good day.
The Firestone Pacific Foods plant shut down after 38 employees tested positive for the virus.
One of my coworkers and his fiancé went out unmasked over the weekend and both are ill now.

Where did they go?
Food should have been here around five-twenty but was slated for 5:29. That didn't happen, so I texted the driver and said to make sure that the food hadn't been sitting there for fifteen minutes getting cold. He never responded and of course when he finally got here the food was indeed cold. I immediately contacted DoorDash and they refunded the purchase. I ate it but it was yucky.

Where did they go?
Dunno. But it was not just a walk. He was joking about a dance party. And I don’t think it was a joke.

I hope he has not put you at risk.
Damn! Damn! Damn! My air conditioner is dead. I cannot sleep and this situation is not making me any more comfortable.

First on my team.
We do not wear masks when we walk. Most the time we can keep our distance, or we quickly pass others.

I haven’t seen these people in 11 weeks, thanks to working from home.
Went to Ralph's to get a sweet - only about five people in the entire store - plenty of toilet paper and paper towels if you don't mind the Kroger brand, which I do.
Sold out of most ice cream - no comprende that - and frozen pizza, too.

I haven't heard that anyone from my building has been infected...yet.
I ordered my first delivery meal (other than pizza) today. I used UberEats, just because I had them on my phone, and my niece some times works for them.
I ordered Mexican food from a place I had wanted to try anyway. The food was very good. It arrived warm, rather than hot, but what can you expect.

At least, you can reheat it. I've never minded reheated Mexican food. :)

It came sealed in a very nice aluminum container, and I was too lazy to transfer it to a microwave container, so I ate it warm.
My cousin just had her 80th birthday.
Well, good night, George.
Just confirmed a very special appearance in the June 7 Kritzerland show.
