Good Morning from the beautiful state of Florida where the new govenor is sending us to hell in a hand basket or in his case A Guicci hand bag originally $555 markdown to $1. Of course going to hell doesn't apply to Disneyworld, Universal Studios or The Holy Land Experience in Orlando
Amen, Brother! No wonder they all "Booed" him at the Trop the other night. If I had known, I might have bought a ticket and went just so I could add my voice as well.

what is happening in Florida?

Inquiring minds want to know

During my job interview Friday, I was asked if I would mind the chore of creating indexes. I said no, I would actually welcome it because, as I continue my studies, I rely on indices so much. I don't know if he liked my using the once-correct, now archaic "indices" or even if me believed me. But I have come to see the worth of a fine indexer.

I just pulled out my copy of "Mark the Music" to read about Mark Blitzstein and the creation of "Juno" as I continue my research into the musicals of 1959. The index fails to include the 30 continuous pages that the book devotes to the show. But it has a good number of references to other mention of the show in the text.

I'm depressed. I thought the world was going to end in December 2012 but when I was out and about yesterday I saw someone preaching that world is going to end on May 21st of THIS year. Sigh.

If I had known that, I wouldn't have bothered spreading grass seed, now my back yard dust bowl is NEVER going to be lush and green.

I want to know who is responsible for the mix up and would like to set up an appointment for May 22 to discuss the matter toot sweet!

time to blow the college tuition money on a last trip to Disney World!

I already blew that on food, medicine, mortgage payments and taxes

Richard and I just went for a 30-minute walk - my first outside walk since last fall. It's in the 70s here today and sunny. Pretty windy, too, which provided some "resistance."

A former co-worker and I went to see the Cherry Blossoms this morning. I haven't been to see them for many years, though I did drive by them other years when I was working on a Saturday ( I don't drive to work on weekdays). It's a beautiful, sunny day , though a little chilly.

I have always wanted to do this --- someday.....

No leftovers from brunch sorry, TCB. It was at a resort hotel perched above a perfect Hill Country view. It began with a mimosa made with blueberries instead of oranges. That was followed by a bold bloody Mary made with a bacon- and brisket-infused vodka. First course was steak tartare, followed by braised short rib topped with foie gras. Dessert was a flambeed meringue over a citrus cake with sections of pink grapefruit and orange at the bottom. I enjoyed all but the dessert. A friend had fresh strawberry crepes that were much better. But her entrees were not as good as mine. Other highlights were a crab version of eggs Benedict, a Belgian waffle with raspberry ricotta, and the steak half of steak and eggs.

that again? I had that yesterday .....

Yes, DR Laura. And I know it's what's supposed to happen, but I could only watch for so long...

I could probably manage the mimosa, but I'm not into infusing vodka. So, you'll just have to come to San Antonio and we'll go out to brunch.

George wore a number in a video he posted awhile back that might work, too. He was singing a number from "Nick and Nora."
