Well, you've read the notes, the notes were Hollanderized, and now it is time for you to post until the Hollanderized cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: CREPUSCULAR!
-
Well, I never knew what Hollanderize (https://nancyfriedman.typepad.com/away_with_words/2015/07/word-of-the-week-hollanderizing.html) meant, but now I do.

Continuing from last night...after the Scrabble game, I came home and at about 5:30, I took my friend Shelly to dinner at a local Mexican restaurant because yesterday was her 60th birthday! We chatted and ate and had a grand time.
-
When we came home, we played a game of Phase 10 and I won! She didn't want me to let her win, so I didn't. ;D
-
Then I came home, did a load of laundry, and will now to go to bed because I have to go to work in the morning. Today, we start hell week for The One-Act Play That Goes Wrong. On Wednesday, we'll have an invited audience for our final dress, then Thursday is Pay-What-You-Can, and then we officially open on Friday and will play three weekends.

Have a good day, all!

A special greeting for our DR vixmom! How are you feeling this morning?

This will be a tense day, and I will be very happy when it's over and I am safely back in mty own space.

To keep my Access0a0Ride position, I must be interviewed, So, I will have to go to Queens Village rather than stay within Manhattan as I did for last year's interview.
Last year, I had no problem getting to the interview. It was getting home that AAR really screwed up, and I endedc up taking a taxi home.
-
My biggest fear is that I will end up with no ride back after my interview. I also have no idea how long the ride will be to Queens Village,

In all these years, I'd never thought to look it up.

It is interesting, but exhausting. I don't put as much thought into wordle as the guy in this video. When I've done one, I put it out of my mind and move on. But I appreciate his ideas about starting words.

From Vixmom:
My boss told me to stay home another day
I like your boss.

DR George do I have this right? Your sister bribed you with a stale maple bar, that you shouldn't be eating to begin with, just so you would go out of your way and do an errand for her ;) :))
-
DR TCB I hope you are having a good day.
-

I first read "maple bar" as some kind of candy thing. Then I thought that didn't make a lot of sense, so I considered that maybe she was offering him a piece of furniture, i.e. a bar made of maple. That didn't make total sense either, but bars can be useful and attractive pieces even if used for something else, so that's what I went with. And now, it IS a candy bar...? :)

Is DR Elmore at his appointment now? Vibes for success at the interview, and for a successful return trip!

TOD 2:
I forgot Time Bandits and Murder on the Orient Express.

I just re-listened to The Light in the Piazza, which I had not done for some time.
I didn't like it the first time I listened to it, but over time I have come to regard the score as extremely beautiful.

I LOVE the maple frosteds at Dunkin', which only a few of the locations in my area carry in the fall.
-
While I was on vacation, I saw some maple frosteds in a bakery window that had almost more frosting than donut.
-
I didn't go into the shop. In that town, simple avocado toast is over $20. We didn't eat out once.

Joe Cool... back in school.

In the 1976 all-Black revival cast (https://castalbums.org/recordings/Guys-and-Dolls-1976-Broadway-Cast/2848), they rewrote the line to be:
And go* put it in mothballs for some other dame.
*This one word took the three beats of "tell them to."

It is so depressing that EVERYTHING has become politicized as a hill-to-die-on.
This weekend, the Cracker Barrel chain tried to add a vegan meat option to their breakfast menu. Note: they did not remove anything from the menu; just added an additional option. And people lost their minds.
-
It must be exhausting carrying permanent grievances all the time.

Olivia Newton-John has died at age 73.

And yes, I heard about that Cracker Barrel thing.
There are no words.

Duck Donuts adds bacon to the maple. I’m not a fan. Like you, I want the maple by itself.
There’s a restaurant in town that has maple pie on the menu. Quite good.

I'm up, I'm up - almost ten hours of needed sleep with completely wacky dreams.

At first I also thought it was a candy bar. I then googled it and found a donut ;D

I have only read John Adams and The Wright Brothers. I have been on the fence reading about the bridge. Please let me know what you think of it.

As a youngster I loved maple candy, but now I find it way too sweet.

Interesting how your taste buds change. I can't eat applesauce that isn't unsweetened; I find the regular stuff to be too sweet, also.

I am home. My Access-a-Ride showed up at 12:30, when he was asked to arrive at 1:239. So, I hads to hurry to get ready. Since I had no iodea how long the drive would take (75 minutes, actually), I thought, I won't be late and if I'm early, perhaps I'll be out early.
-
Well, my appointment was atr 3:40, and I arrived at 2:15. IU had to wait the full hour and twenrty-five minutes. The interviewer was charmless and about as fun as a hemorrhoidectomy without anesthesia. I was finished aroubnd 4:10, my ride showed up at 4:30, and the ride home took an hour.
-
Now I have three weeks to waitr for the Access-a-Ride decision. Oy!
-
It rained here. Wow.
-
What do I want for dinner?
Food...food is good.
I had street tacos. Now having ice cream. Because it’s Monday.
-
Having fried catfish for food - so far, the ME day hasn't happened, as I've been writing the commentary for almost two hours now.
-
I am glad you are home safe and sound, DR elmore3003. What an ordeal.
-
I can't imagine any scenario, given your circumstances, where they wouldn't re-approve you for another year.
-
I think it is criminal that they can't offer appointments in Manhattan.
-
Given that the whole point is accessibility.
-
They're all dunderheads.
-
Which is no relation to Dunderbeck. And his machine.
-
I nipped out for a few groceries after work, and found the store refreshingly empty. Of other people, that is. Not food.
-
Food is what's for dinner.
-
Actually, it was chili con carne and a light Greek salad.
-
If you must know.
-
But I like DR John G.'s dinner.

Five!

Wow! I hadn't heard about that, DR elmore3003.

Oooh, it seems they have!

Thanks for the Wordle tip, DR George. I'm not sure it applies to what I'm talking about, though. If you know the last four letters are EAST, for example, the word could be YEAST, FEAST, BEAST or LEAST. It's just a matter of guessing at that point, right?
-
FBI raided Mara-Lago?
Interesting...
-
Sad about Olivia Newton-John. Another Australian singer, Judith Durham of the Seekers, died a few days ago. Loved "Georgy Girl."
-
FBI raided Mara-Lago?
It couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
-
I also thought "maple bar" was a candy bar. Then thought it might be a piece of furniture.
-
It didn’t rain here. It rained a mile away, but not here. The ground is so dry, it is cracking deep down.
-
It’s not that hot, only 87. But even with a cooler day and a good watering, some of my plants are wilting.
-
I also thought "maple bar" was a candy bar. Then thought it might be a piece of furniture.
Ha!
-
I also thought "maple bar" was a candy bar. Then thought it might be a piece of furniture.
Funny since I can relate to this. I asked Keith and his first response was a donut, like a glazed donut, with icing.
-
Been listening to a wonderful history called When Paris Went Dark: The City of Light Under German Occupation: 1940-1944. Fascinating stuff. Great stories of famous people as well as the folks in the Resistance.
-
I attempted to find an appealing photo of a maple bar. Since none of them appeal to me I finally just picked a photo.

True, but if you only have one or two chances left to guess in your usual browser, that's when you can move to a different browser and continue guessing without losing.

Finally finished the commentary. Over three damn hours to write it, but it's done and I'm going to now sit on my couch like so much fish.

Watching the rest of The Funeral. Not in the mood for subtitles. So, I may stop it.
-
It had gotten funnier.
-
The daughter of the deceased and her husband have to watch a video of how to behave at a funeral and what the right things to say are.
-
Had a little low-cal sandwich with the leftover two ounces of turkey I had. It was good in that I needed to eat something. The two catfish fried filet calorie count is about 200 per. Add to that, potato salad and a quarter of an ear of corn and you come out around 700, maybe 800.
-
Listening to music. Tried to watch more of The Offense but fell asleep for an hour.
-
Gratuitous Post #160! ;D

Ann Heche has now slipped into a coma, and her condition is extremely critical. If her burns are as horrible as they originally reported, perhaps it is all for the best.
-
I also thought "maple bar" was a candy bar. Then thought it might be a piece of furniture.
I am amazed at the number of people who didn’t know what a maple bar was.
