For the first time in a week, I was able to sleep lying down instead of propped up in bed last night. My arm was killing me when I got up, but while I was asleep, it was wonderful to sleep in a normal position.

I'm not much for appetizers, but I do love the Bloomin' Onion at Outback. One appetizer I've never cared for is caviar.

Continuing my day of relaxation today, I plan to watch MURDER SHE WROTE episodes this afternoon (along with ROYAL PAINS as I eat lunch).

Tonight, I think I'll watch at least one TARZAN movie with Lex Barker (they're pretty short) and then find something else.

APPALOOSA comes on HBO-HD tonight, and I'm still deciding whether I want to watch it or not. I like the cast; I'll have to see how long it is. If it's an epic-length western, I'm not sure I'd have the patience for it.

Sounds like some improvement for you, DR Elmore. I hope it continues. As I've found with my own ailment, any improvement is encouraging and lifts my spirits.

A woman at our church had a panic attack after a service once.

And the word of the day is: GALLIMAUFRY!

And The Song Of The Day Is: THE BEST YEARS OF HIS LIFE

Brilliant Lyric by Ira Gershwin in one of the dream sequences of LADY IN THE DARK

 He gave her the best years of his life
  She was,shall we call it,his mistress?
  'Twas only for her he's divorcing his wife
  And now the man's in distress.
  The master who once was the master of two
   Would make of his Mistress his Mrs.
   But he missed out on Mrs. for the Mistress is through--
   What a Mess of a MISH MASH this is

Saturday morning greetings!  Who'd have thought that on August 1 we'd have the AC off and the windows open?

Heading downstairs now to check the mail (though I am not sure why I bother; I haven't gotten anything delivered on Saturday in three weeks) and then think about something for lunch.

TOD:

First and favorite - clam dip made from my mom's recipe.

Actually, I have a lot of appetizer recipes that I like - shrimp spread, Skyline chili dip, cheese ball, dried beef spread, dill dip for veggies.  Sometimes we'll have a whole meal of appetizers for a special TV occasion like the Super Bowl.

It wasn't particularly exotic, but one of the loveliest appetizers I remember was the crab dip that Richard and I shared at a sidewalk table at Buddy's Crabs & Ribs in Annapolis, MD, on a beautiful evening 10 years ago this coming Wednesday (verified in my travel journal).

Good morning everyone.

Today is pay the rent day, and cleaning day, whoopee.

I'm so glad it's August.  I can't wait for the holiday spirit.  Forget gifts, I just like the merriment of Halloween, Thanksgiving, and everything that takes place in December no matter what religion a person or friends or family believe in, it's always fun.

Off to run one errand before getting down to the business of moving furniture to vacuum.

Absolutely glorious vibes to everyone today, for health, happiness, and August.

TD, I am glad you enjoyed RACE. What a fun movie! And yes, LOTS of twists and turns. I think this is one that would appeal even to those not into Bollywood.

DR elmore - Good to hear that you made it out and about this morning.  And just because I am really curious, just how much was the cab fare to go one block?

Back from the long jog, which was long.  It's gonna be another hot day here in the City of Studio.  I must now leave, but before I do, here's a fun something to do today - and it will be very helpful to me:

In the Kevin and Linda show, we're doing You're The Top - first with a lot of the fun original lyrics, but then we're doing a section of what it would be like if Cole Porter had to write the lyric today - so, here's one possible line:

You're the top,
You're an iPod mini

So, come up with your version of today's You're The Top lyrics - so much to choose from - rhyming is the hard thing and no cheating in terms of scan - it must fit exactly and the emphasis on words can't be off.  Facebook, YouTube, hybrid cars, trendy foods, trendy people like Obama (rhymes with drama, so that should be easy), Martha Stewart, anything happening and now - restaurants, artists, singers, actors, writers, trinkets, gadgets, gamebox, Playstation 3, all of it.  To it and have FUN!

Well, as I mentioned before, I slept in a bit today, and I actually have yet to eat an actual meal.  And since I can tell that my body and my brain are starting to rebel...
