Well, you've read the notes, the notes lacked pizazz, style, and witty repartee, and now it is time for you to post until the lacking cows come home.

And the word of the day is: BURGEON!

Sunday morning greetings! We went last night to the Cincinnati ‘burbs to have dinner at Richard’s brother’s house. Their 7-year-old granddaughter, visiting from Colorado, was the guest of honor.
-
Thank you to DRs KevinH, Jeanne, and Laura for the expressions of sympathy.
-
Good morning, all!

I didn't sleep badly, and the cats behaved perfectly. We were all quite chipper when the alarm rang.
-
Good morning, all.

DR Jeanne, how nice to see you were here last night. I've missed you and DR Iris.
-
I did not get Connections today. Off to Wordle.

Doug Fullington, who hired me to do Star on the Rise and whom you may have seen in the talkbacks on the ballet's performancess, has been working on a book for some time. It was published this week by Oxford University Press. I'm very happy for him.
-
That looks like a fun book!
-
And now I shall complete preparations for my auditions today.
FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON is on the precipice.

Good morning, all.
-
It's a slow Sunday morning here. I mean here, at home. But it's slow here, too.
-
Pizazz is needed.
Some repartee, too.

Just don't ask me for style. Not this time of morning.

Downtown Chicago seems to have a lot of loud motorcycles.

Which seems to drive around at all hours of the day and night.

But I'm on vacation, so I am not complaining.

I've spent the last two hours uploading Offenbach recordings into my iTunes. There are too many scores I am not familiar with, so I'm going to spend some time listening to Madame l'Archiduc, La Creole, Madame Favart, Le Pont des Soupirs, Fantasio, Vert-Vert and L'Ile de Tulipitan.

Listening to Hitchcock's Blondes, and I am not liking it. The narrator, so far. Has done ridiculously bad impersonations of Hitchcock, Ingrid Bergman (was she really a blonde?), and Grace Kelly. Ugh.

The Biden news is sad to me.

I was about to ask if you had already planned to go to Florida. Yes, good timing. Also good if they need a babysitter while they help Vixhubby's father with anything.

Same here, still...Wow!
-
I never expected Biden to run again. I always thought he could accomplish more focusing on being a one term president. The whole situation is sad and scary.
-
The Biden news is sad to me.
Yep. Me, too! It's going to bne the death of him. We all need a reason to get out of bed every day, and I think too many nervous Democrats have taken that reason away. Whether the nominee is Harris, Pelosi, Charles Lindberg, Amelia Earhart, or Lassie, they've got my vote.

I'm up, I'm up - ten hours of good sleep.

I'm guessing Biden dropped out. If so, the Democrats continue to eat themselves.

Exactly. I think they've managed to screw up their chance of beating Trump completely. I hope I'm wrong.

I'm tired. And I am just up from a nap.
-

I hope not but fear it is so.

I am hoping the new candidates will instill energy and excitment into the election and Biden dropping out will have been a good move. If not, it will be doubly sad.

Spent the afternoon with a good friend who lives here. He is 87 and not in great health, so we don't know how many more opportunities we will have. It was a delightful afternoon.
-
For dinner we will walk to a restaurant close by to the hotel.
-
I am.rapidly coming to the conclusion that you can't get anywhere in Chicago at any time by car without an inordinate amount of traffic and unnecessary amount of honking.
-
Watching more of The Unforgiven. I can see why it's not talked about much any more. Casting Audrey Hepburn as a native American wouldn't fly today. The script is also racially charged.
-

Catfish for dinner?
-
Four!

THE LITTLE FUR-MAID, maybe?

That sounds about right. Walking, taking the bus or the train is best.

We don’t need no stinkin’ airports…LOL, we drive

It is more dramatic with a black background and large white print. Apparently a number of people feel better after reading his post. I am interested in what he will have to say when he posts the "more.

He's a local. I've seen him many times at Phoenix Theater. We even saw him in a high school production and remembered him when we saw him a couple years later. I miss him locally, but I'm glad he's successful.
-
I started kitchening at 3 a.m. I'm very tired.
-
And a big storm is headed toward Phoenix. I hope we get plenty of rain without big winds.

I just looked at an article on why Obama can't run for president :o ::) The comments on that one are funny.

Hello, everyone.

No DR ELMORE fortunately our PP LL is not auditioning.
Everyone who came today can be used.....hopefully three or four more guys show up tomorrow.

I am very unhappy about Biden’s withdrawal from the race. Who thought Kamala Harris would be a better candidate? His chances were better. I’m not convinced that America is ready to elect a woman as president.
-
That said, I’d like to see Mark Kelly as VP. Actually, I’d prefer Kelly/Harris. Nothing against Harris — I just don’t think she can win. I hope I’m wrong.

That’s all from me.

Listening to a Japanese murder mystery called Butter. It’s way too long (17 hours), but it interesting at times.
-
I have about 12 hours to go.
-
Such a book was always easier to get through while gardening.
-
But there’s little gardening going on because of the pain.
-
You need shoulder strength to use a shovel.
-
I have two plants that need to get into the ground.
-
So I may try to get that done despite the pain.

Back from a really fun birthday dinner for David Wechter - eleven of us. Food was beyond superb and I am beyond stuffed to the gills.
-
So, today the family went to my sister's and we played one game of Scrabble.
-
Our house rule is that we can look up words in the Scrabble dictionary anytime we want. ::)
-
We ALL do it. ;D
-
HOWEVER, if the person whose turn it is wants to look up a word, they have priority.
-
No one ever challenges a word because we can just find out if what we're thinking is a real word or not.
-
Anyway, I WON THE GAME! :D
-
It's probably only the second or third game of Scrabble I've ever won in my life.
-
We didn't have a big family meal...it was a get-together to play Scrabble.
-
Hello Dear G!
-
My mom made and brought over some spring rolls but I got there late, so I had a grilled cheese sandwich.
-
Hello Dear G!
Hello, Dear R!

I think (hope) Kamala can bring energy and cancel out the whole “Joe’s too old” BS everyone latched onto. I think she can go toe-to-toe in a debate. She can better highlight what a nightmare world awaits for women in a 2nd T presidency.
-
My mom was keeping score if the Scrabble game, and here's a picture of it!

I watched several of videos tonight, and one said that tRump's biggest insult to Biden is that he (Biden) is too old, but now TRUMP is the old one...and he's a lot older than Kamala! ;)
-
Page SIX?
-
Again?
-
Another video said that he's now claiming that when the debates were set up, he agreed to debate Biden (and all his prep work was against Biden), but now that Kamala is the (assumed) nominee, he won't debate her because the Dem's ticket has changed. ::)
-
Is George eating a burrito?
-
He won't debate her because she would wipe the floor with him.
-
He's just a baby scaredy-cat.
-
He won't debate her because she would wipe the floor with him.
Exactly!
-
Will no one save us from page six.
-
What?
-
I'm still stuffed to the damn gills.
-
I do not care for page seven.
-
And yet here we are.
-
On page seven.
-
Which I do not care for.
-
Of course, no matter who the Dems pick for VP, that person would wipe the floor with JD Vance!
-
Running mate is a key decision.
-
Is George eating a burrito?
No. Not eating anything.
-
One must eat something. It's just done.
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.
-
I wrote them.
-
That is a fact.
-
And a fact can be a beautiful thing.
-
Hello?

Someone speak up.
-
Silence is NOT golden.
-
It's just not.
-
Posting is golden.

After winning Scrabble, I drove through the local Dairy Queen and got the ingredients for what I call quasi-poutine: French fries, their breaded cheese curds, and two sides of their white country gravy.
-
Apparently, George went the the ool.
-
It's not the real thing (which I've never had anyway), but it's pretty tasty, especially as a non-healthy snack. ;)
-
I do not like the word curd. Curd is a yucky word. The only thing that would like a curd is a bird. A curd is absurd.
-
I don't know from healthy snacks.
-
Apparently, George went the the ool.
No, I'm typing on my phone and that's kinda slow going. ::)
