Hmm... I guess I really did get a good workout on out yesterday on the rowing machine.  My triceps are sore(!).

Oh my gosh!  I am so embarrassed.

About a year ago, a Carl's Jr. opened a few miles from my house.  I keep meaning to try it, even though I have read all the health warnings about eating there on a regular basis.  So, today, I was only a short drive away; so I decided to go in and try it.  I ordered my burger and then went and sat down.  When I looked around I realized that everybody in the place was huge!  Now, I am not a small man, but everyone (men and women) was, at least, twice my size.  I could not believe it.

The hamburger was... okay, but I was tempted to wait until nightfall to sneak out of the place.

Tomovoz,- Awhile ago asked if anyone had read THE BOOK THIEF by the Australian author Markus Zusak.   If anyone responded, I missed it.  Are you familiar with him?

It is a rumour DR Jane - we have not been familiar - no matter what he may claim.

I highly recommend THE BOOK THIEF.  It take a bit to get into it but I think you will like his style of writing.

It might be "light relief" after Peter Hoeg's "The Quiet Girl". (Which is fascinating).

I doubt it.  The Thief is set in Germany leading up and through WW II & is narrated by Death. ;D

I will check the DH's traveling plans.  If he's around next Friday night to take care of the dog, I'd love to come into the city and join y'all for dinner.  I'll let you know if I can make it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY[/size][/color] to DR Cillaliz's mom!  :)

Thanks DR Singdaw, but actually it was April 11. I was going to go on the 12th but was busy and weather was bad so I went this weekend, in part to deliver her birthday gifts.  We had a nice visit. I helped her best friend install a new multifunction printer/copier/fax machine.  It was easy, but they definitely needed help.

It was very cold and very windy at the lake.  We did see a big flock of white pelicans.  It's always nice when they return to nest.  With all the white caps on the lake a photo wouldn't have turned out even if we did have a camera with us.   I saw some coots and mom thought some cormorants, but I'm not convinced.  Since the countertop isn't installed as it was supposed to be we couldn't put her kitchen back together, but we did move some furniture and get a few things done she wanted done.

Cil, Important time news for your viewing of August: Osage County.

THE SHOW STARTS AT 7:30PM, NOT 8PM. Look at your ticket if you already have it to confirm. Because it runs so long the show begins a half-hour earlier. It gets out at around 11pm.

Ben, my ticket says 8:00 PM and Playbill.com says 8:00 PM too.  Maybe it changed when it moved to the Music Box

Sherlock walked right into the bathroom with us, and then into the shower when Keith requested he do so.  He was perfect throughout.  Afterwards he stood next to the pile of treats on the tub while I towel dried him, never attempting to take any.

Keith said he knows he is now a good citizen. ;)

Hindemith had a few bumps today.  The kid I'm accompanying had been warming up in another room and left his music in that room, so when he got to the room we performed in, he was completely flustered, because they're on a strict timing schedule.  He had to run halfway across a huge building, fetch his music, and run back, getting to the performance room just as the timer started the 10 minutes.  The good news is, the piece is far less than 10 minutes, but I could tell Peter's nerves were shot already and his intonation was pretty poor at times.

I was completely blown away (no pun intended) by the kid who went on before.  I had never heard the piece before but had a strong suspicion it was British and either by Vaughan Williams or someone of his ilk.  It turned out to be by Gordon Jacob, so I feel proud of my identifying skills.  :)  I can't seem to find a recording anywhere, strangely.

I didn't think his condo looked dusty.
