Thanks DR Singdaw..  Despite the thoughts (no doubt) of some DRs, the photographs I post of our local bird life are not the same as ones taken last year or whenever!  (It maybe the same birds though). I can tell the difference with some of them as they do have particular "personality" traits.  "The Wild Parrots Of Telegraph Hill" studies are not isolated.

I have a lovely surprise this morning. I was at the pet store purchasing bird seed when my cell phone rang. It was DR MusicGuy, inviting me out for breakfast.

We had a nice breakfast together, and then he came to the church for a tour and a look at the new piano.

Lovely lorikeets, DR Tomovoz. We don't get such colorful birds out here -- except maybe the peach-faced lovebirds that are escaped/feral pets.

However, I am positive I saw a canary fly over my house yesterday. Plus, a bird with a long tail that I couldn't identify was circling the neighborhood and calling -- I think they were two escaped pets and the one was in a panic because it had never actually flown before.

Hoo and Ray! The motor home of the chinchy bassa got moved off the animal-themed drinking -- I mean service club -- property today!!

I cheered as it drove off.

That post would make no sense to anyone who is just beginning to lurk here. But everyone else knows what it means.

DR DearReaderLaura - Well, I feel stupid!  For some reason, I had the idea that the piano was delivered to your home, not your church!  Hence my previous dumb [and probably cryptic] attempts at humor.

Is this a church you attend as a parishioner, or are you affiliated in some professional way?

I've been at this church for 25 years. We were homeless for five years after we were displaced by a school that wanted our property. We built a new place that has been open about a year and a half now. I used to post update photos as the building progressed. These folks are good sports.

I am the part-time secretary there, but I volunteer much more time than I am paid for. However, being assaulted is not in my job description!

Thank you (from DH). And from me. All of the posted times for the basketball games are Eastern Time. So now he knows how long until the game.

We're back from our drive to Dover.  (I still can't post from the car.  Sorry.)

We listened to two of the Van Dyke Parks discs - Moonlighting and Jump.  And we enjoyed them both.

Nope, didn't get to Song Cycle yet.

While in Dover, I talked der Brucer into stopping at the Atlantic Books branch, and bought a few titles -

The El Paso Chile Company's Sizzlin' Suppers - W. Park Kerr.

The American Table - Ronald Johnson

My Life in France - Julia Child with Alex Prud'homme

and a couple that der Brucer decided I should also read -

The Farmer's Market Guide to Fruit - Jenni Fleetwood

and The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook - Matt Lee and Ted Lee.

Think I'm stuck in a rut or something?   ::)

But I really do read this stuff.

For dinner tonight, something simple -

Top Round London Broil

Baked taters

Salad.

Der Brucer has most of the night booked for televiewing.  But I'm planning on watching Good Eats no matter what, because it's a new episode about Corned Beef.

I want to hear from our esteemed BK on two subjects -

The play he is seeing tonight

And the dinner he is having tonight.

(Yep, I'm in a rut all right.  Everybody getting hungry?)

The play is called Cuttin' Up by Charles Randolph-Wright.   Don't know anything about it.  

I'm assuming I'll go to the nearby Meheecan joint where I always have my pre-Pasadena Playhouse dinners.

Shortly I shall be on my way.
