Well, you've read the notes, the notes were down and adventurous, and now it is time for you to post until the down cows come home.

Today, I'm going to my mom's to play Phase 10.  It didn't work out to play on Friday this week, so it'll be today.  We're also meeting earlier in the evening, so we may play more games.  We'll see.

I had a nice night of sleep, and to my delight the cats behaved very nicely.  Annabelle still sneezes, but she's eating, and she seems healthier and friskier than she has been in some time. She's moved her sleeping locale from the top of the bookcases to a big fluffy pillow next to me, and she seems content to lie there all night while Thatch and Stella nap with me for a bit, then run off to create mischief before coming back to sleep a little more.

DR singdaw, I know of the Selling Britten book, but I don't think I have it. I've always wanted a book on the English Opera Group with lots of production photos, and I'm surprised it hasn't been done by now.

Last night I started watching a Season 20 episode of Midsomer Murders about killings at a comic con-type event, but I wasn't in the mood.  I turned to PBS and watched an episode from several earlier seasons.

The night before I tried to watch Christopher Wheeldon's ballet of Cinderella, but I didn't care for it; the Prokofiev score was too mangled and reassembled for Craig Lucas' torturous story with too many backstories and characters and an indecision on how much of the Brothers Grimm version to use instead of Perrault's. I was not happy.

I'm up early this Sunday morning because Nathan and I are going to go up to the area's largest Sunday-only flea market and do our first walk-through of the season. It will be my first time to do this kind of thing since late 2019, and it's the perfect day for it. If I come back with any treasures, you will read it here first. What I'll probably come back with is just a belly full of breakfast foods, but you never know.

Our cats have always slept with me, some more often than others, but I'm generally the cat whisperer in this jernt. Now it's just Mikey, and he's always been a snuggly lap cat, but now even more so since Poe has been gone. I can nearly always count on him being there when I'm ready to get into bed. And he's a solid sleeper. He wants to be on top of the covers, and nestles into my side, butt first. Once there, he's there all night, with hardly any moving around, and if he makes a trip to the food bowl or the litter box, he comes right back up and resumes his spot, quietly. He used to take a few nights off now and then to sleep somewhere else in the house, but lately it's been every night.

TCB. I have discussed the matter with both brothers.  Only the residential department will be left after the elder retires. I have expressed my interest in staying they have expressed their interest in keeping me but I am aware that it will be completely dependent on how much business there is in the department since the other members of the department have been with him for years 10+ years.  So hopefully we are looking at a robust economy with lots of active residential real estate work in my geographical area.  They are also limited in that they have only 3 lenders with which they work.  I am used to working with firms with relationships with between 10-30 Lenders so it feels very eggs in one basket to me and that frightens me a little.

To answer the questions from DR JEANNE & DR TCB.

1. They make themselves known by noises and moving small things around.  Pets usually notice them first.....in my brother's case, a small guitar case was broken and there were lights and reflections where there was no source for them.

2. They needed to be called.  Candles and offerings and then a statement of purpose and a calling of those specifically involved or present....

3. Usually I use a pendulum to begin with and YES and NO questions to establishment their identities.  You have to be stern and specific to get only those you are interested in talking to.

4. After contact is made and establishment - they do not use physical voices - I usually use automatic writing.  All present can ask questions, although not all are answered.

5. Doesn't happen in my family any more than anyone else's family - but usually folks just let it go.

I answer customer service calls all day long at work. And when our systems go down, which is a lot more frequently than one would like, we still have to take calls. There is nothing more unpleasant than having to tell someone that you cannot help them. Frustrating on both ends. And having to do it over and over.

Since I got the cats in 2017, I no longer hear noises in the apartment, like the lady speaking what I think is something mittel European or  the slamming closet door, but I occasionally see the cats watching or reacting to something, and occasionally after midnight I will see small floating ball of light.

Best estimate is between 12 and 13 years. We adopted him in March 2010 from a gal who worked at our vet. She had rescued him off the street in Hempstead LI, and the vet guesstimated he was a year or maybe a year and a half then.

I’m back from the flea market which was huge today, as was the attendance. Parking was insane, and people were clearly ready to be out doing things like this on a beautiful day. We walked the whole place, and not a single thing called to either one of us. Which is okay, at least we’re not buying stuff for the sake of bringing crap home.

It was great to be out, and I must say it was equally great that we still live in an area in which every one of the thousands of people there was wearing a mask, as required, without complaint. I think our outdoor mask wearing mandate goes away later in the month, so that will be interesting, but I’m just glad I live in this part of the country right about now.

We patronized one of the regular food vendors and had a “Long Dog”. I had chili and onions on mine, because the hot dog is a pleasant enough but cheap quality item, and I was more interested to taste whatever chili they used. It definitely wasn’t the Hormel I’m used to, and I certainly didn’t expect that. It was good, verging on a sweeter taste, but I enjoyed it with the onions and a tiny squirt of spicy brown mustard.

Thank you, DR Singdaw.  Mr. Moldovan was only at my high school for 2 years - my junior and senior years.  He came from and returned to a rival Detroit school.  I didn't stay in touch with him and his first wife after I moved from the Detroit area, but did look him up on Facebook occasionally and that's how I learned Friday of his passing.

But one thing I'm worried a little bit about is that he has -- gasp! -- visible tattoos. I'm not sure what the conservative folks will think.

Our Pastor and children’s minister have visible tattoos as well

I am sorry for your loss, DR Ginny.

Thank you, DR Singdaw.  Mr. Moldovan was only at my high school for 2 years - my junior and senior years.  He came from and returned to a rival Detroit school.  I didn't stay in touch with him and his first wife after I moved from the Detroit area, but did look him up on Facebook occasionally and that's how I learned Friday of his passing.

DR Ginny, the cat food is sorted and most of the forms are filled out. Between 3:00-3:15 I feed the cats. Between 4: 30 I eat my dinner. At 5:00 I clean up my dinner and theirs. At 6:00 I lie down, chill with the cats, and never get up until 5:45 tomorrow morning. The pandemic has me a complete creature of habit.

I am just finishing up the movie First Cow, which, by all rights, I should have loved. It's a food movie, of sorts. But it was painful, and too many of the scenes were so dark, i couldn't see what was going on. Had the same problem trying to watch it at night.

So, I had the subtitles on and that just made it slower going somehow. A true slog.

Watching the extras of An Accidental Studio. Interviews with Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin have some very funny bits as well as some better insights into George Harrison as a person than the movie had. And it's true, the movie is about the studio. But Harrison is actually more interesting than the story of the studio.

In addition to the butter, sugar and buttermilk, there's merely eggs, vanilla and lemon extract. Plus, flour, baking soda and baking powder. I may have to try that.

Unfortunately both entries turned out to be the movie itself, with no documentary in sight.  So, I gave up looking, and just watched the film again.

Are you talking about this one:

I don't have Netflix, but it's available through Amazon Prime Video (not free, though).

What is the name of the place with the grilled hot dogs?  I forgot to write it down. Do they have chili cheese dogs?

Eagan's on Capitol Blvd., in Tumwater.  There are other Eagan's, and Big Tom's used to be related, but not anymore.  They don't all have the same food, so if you're interested in the chili dogs with cheese (and onions, too), head to the Tumwater joint.

I couldn't find the documentary, just this movie...and other unrelated movies with the same name.
