Good Morning.

I believe it's Friday, because BK told me so.

I was sure yesterday was Thursday, because I had an appointment (which I kept) and all was well except that I over-exerted myself and was very tired.  At some point last evening, I began believing it was Friday and planning my Saturday.   I did eventually come back to Thursday!

52 FIRST COUSINS?

Absolute first cousins?  Not cousins of first cousins (which are 1st cousins once removed)?

My dad was the youngest of 8, and on his side I have 12 absolute firsts (2 are deceased).  Three on my mother's side (she had one sister).

How many aunts and uncles????

It’s going up to 91 or thereabouts today, so it’ll definitely be time to turn on the A/C. We got through yesterday okay without it, but you only get one day of grace.

But then it drops tomorrow for a high of 65, go figure. And that’s it for a while.

I did not have the best night's sleep last night.

Don't ask me why, but I am going to tell you why.

I think it's because I was so tired that I was actually too tired to relax.

I am a bit sore and slow this morning.  And all because I pushed a cart through the noontime throngs of customers at CostCo rather than riding an automated cart for the first time in more than one year.

I know some of you go out for walks and love it.  I used to love it.  But I haven't done it in a long time, and it's going to be a while before I crave the exertion again.

And now that I've landed on page 2, let me say I am really enjoying my cup of coffee.   "Morning Joe" is playing in the background. 

The debt ceiling has been raised, officially.  Joe is praising both Biden and McCarthy for quietly getting things done while the press and Congressional flibbertigibbets were loudly proclaiming pending disaster.

The president had a fall yesterday at the Air Force Academy.  Why?  A sandbag was on the floor of the platform he needed to cross to get off the stage.  Asked about it later as he was departing, he yelled out "I was sandbagged".

Reports are that he is okay. He continued doing things "after the fall", meeting and greeting,

I recall Gerald Ford had several well-covered tumbles during his time in the Oval Office.

So it took a few trips to get enough to serve the purpose.

If you watch this short interview with the GREASE director during a tech rehearsal, you can see a couple of the LPs on the wall.  The interview turned out to be more of a monolog because she's not very interesting....as cousins go....or directors.

Back -- from the fast and easiest visit to the dermatologist ever.

My appointment was for 11:15. I checked in at 11:00, they called me in at 11:05, and I was home at 11:28. (They're only 7 or 8 minutes away.) He froze a few spots on my forehead and temples and sent me packing. This is the first time he hasn't bothered with the top of my head, and tops of heads always need attention. I'm sure he'll be back at that in another six months, but it's nice to have a break from it.

I had this dream the night before last, and kept waiting and hoping it would actually come into focus for me so I could remember the context. That never happened, so for what it's worth (probably about twenty-five cents)...

It was another of what I call the "running" dream. I know other people have these, so maybe someone here will know it. You want or need to run to something or someplace, for whatever reason. And maybe you don't have your car or other transportation, so you think "I can just run or jog there", even though it might be a ridiculous distance away.

So I start to pick up my pace, but I'm remembering how running, as opposed to walking, causes the forces - whatever they are - to bog me down, so I try to very gradually accelerate. But that doesn't really work, and the running becomes a grotesque swimming type of motion, and it's like you're in quicksand, or it gets to where you're practically parallel to the ground and doing a sort of desperate crawl. At some point I'll feel the desperation from trying to move, and that will wake me up, sometimes like from a nightmare. All I remember from this one is that having to use the necessary is most likely what woke me.

But the craziest thing about this time is that I'd awakened from that dream around 3:15 a.m., and then just before getting up at 7:00 or so, I had another one - totally different - that has now escaped me but it, too, had me needing to get somewhere fast. It just wasn't quite the running thing. That one stayed clear in my memory up through yesterday noon or so, but now it's totally gone. Damn it, I want my money back.

Rodzinski:

52 FIRST COUSINS?

Absolute first cousins?  Not cousins of first cousins (which are 1st cousins once removed)?

My dad was the youngest of 8, and on his side I have 12 absolute firsts (2 are deceased).  Three on my mother's side (she had one sister).

How many aunts and uncles????

52 genuine first cousins. My dad was one of 12. I have 22 aunts and uncles of which 7 remain.

Wow.

Well DR CHAS SMITH - the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your running dream indicates that you are trying to get yourself out of a tricky situation - you must have the self confidence that you are correct and move ahead as quickly as possible.

Just do not get involved in the drama of others, that will stop you from moving forward toward what you want. 

You can also look forward to a raise in pay in the next few weeks.

A bird smashed into our window the other night, cracking the outer pane of a double-paned window. The bird itself flew away without damage.

Something similar happened here last fall.  Bird of prey chasing a small bird and they both crashed into our living room picture window.  The little bird didn’t survive, but the hawk flew off.  He left a hole in our outer pane shaped like himself, which made for a very spooky Halloween effect.

I had a belated birthday lunch today with Jan, a girl I grew up with. Her birthday is the day after mine, but she’s a year older — 364 days older to be exact. We lunched at a Mexican restaurant not far from her house.  The food was quite good, we ate on the patio, which I enjoyed, and we had lots to catch up on. We hadn’t seen each other since before Covid.

That sounds wonderful.   Jan is exactly the number of days older than you that Bruce is older than I am.

We get bird strikes fairly frequently. No broken windows yet, and it seems to almost never harm the bird, in spite of how illogical that seems when you hear the impact.

Finished watching a movie I'd started, finished another one after that, and then watched as much as I could stomach of a 1972 film that I don't think ever actually played Los Angeles - I can find only one mention of it and that was at the Cannes festival in May of that year. Also checked 1973. Anyway, directed by Elia Kazan and what a sad last film it was. Shot in Super 16 and blown up, watching it you'd have thought Kazan had never been behind a camera before. It's worse than a first-time. The script is horrible, and there's no score. Yes, low budget - $100,000 - but there have been several great films made for that amount of money.

Kazan called it a home movie and that's what it looks like. I think he's proud of that - he shouldn't be. It was the film debut of James Woods and Steve Railsback. It's based on a story that appeared in New Yorker - same story was later used as a basis for Brian De Palma's Casualties of War.
