I cooked a chicken breast and picked some basil from the backyard and made something I call Pesto Minus Pinenuts and added some bow-tie pasta.

Today is my AA Birthday.  19  years!  I am going out drinking to lunch to celebrate.

Congratulations, TCB. Celebrate with some ice cream!

Great idea, Laura!

I like the sounds of Pesto Minus Peanuts. Makes me think of Lucy and Linus somehow.

I left my sister's house at 8:30pm it was not raining. I had to pick something up at the library. By the time i got there 10 minutes later it was pouring. And my umbrella flipped over and broke. That has never happened to me before. :(

I've had that happen many a time when it was very windy.

I am excited. Tomorrow a bunch of women authors are doing a big book signing at a bookstore near me. Two of the authors I read a lot. And I've heard lots about the books of another 2 or 3. Should be very interesting. Need to remember my camera.

Have a good time.

Well, I must be off.  I'm going to meet some friends to try and get some rush tickets ($15 or $20 instead of $31) for The Americans
Across the Street
.  It's supposed to be very good and a friend of mine is the lead.

Until later!

There were no peanuts in my Pesto Minus Pinenuts, either. So I guess maybe it was Pesto Minus Pinenuts and Peanuts.

We just went for a walk around the house.  The workers hosed down the driveway before they left, Keith did the deck & now it is much nicer out there.

Finished watching the fantasy ghost movie JAL MAHAL, which turned out to have neither fantasy nor ghosts...it was did have a bit of mystery to it and a nifty ending, but it was not certainly not a horror film, or even a thriller.

The lead actress, Rekha, was quite pretty. She was a big star in the 70s and 80s.





Too bad she had that big pimple on her nose!

30 some years later, she still looks great!


She does.

I am back from dinner at El Quijote on West 23rd Street and NEW GIRL IN TOWN at the Irish Rep. my adopted son Joshie dd the orchestrations for the 5-piece band and the cast of 10 acqutted themselves quite marvelously. Margaret Robinson, who played Anna Christy, was a high school girl in Albany when she was in the production, recording, and videotaping of A TALE OF CINDERELLA that I orchestrated for the New York State theatre Institute. She has become a very fine actress. My friend Amber Stone, who was in the Goodspeed WHERE'S CHARLEY?, was a very funny whore. The production was really quite a delight.

Watching the second part of the "Anna Karenina" mini-series from PBS. Hate the script. It dumbs the novel down a little too much. Love the actors. That actually makes it all the more frustrating.

And it worked well without "Ain't No Flies on Me"? That was one of my favorites in the original score.

Vibes for DR MBarnum - I wish they'd waited until Monday morning to call you.  The waiting is awful.

Let's see - I ate pasta papa at ten-thirty.  I didn't finish all of it, and I had nothing else - no bread, no salad.  Since then I've eaten a handful of pretzels and a thing of Flicks.  So, I think I'm well under 1000 calories so I should probably eat something else - what is the question and the question is what.

Although, since I ended up having two very generous scoops of ice cream at Toscanini's Ice Cream, I probably should have ridden my bike there and back.

...But I guess I'll ride it there and back tomorrow. ;) Just soooo many flavors to try!

DR Jose - I love Boston.  Haven't been there in a long time, but I've enjoyed every visit - at age 13 with my parents, in 1978 for a library conference, and in 1981 with my then-new husband Richard.  Have some fried clams for me!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TCB!!!


Cilla, how nice to see you posting!  Is everything okay?

Thanks, TCB, everything is fine.  With the accident and recovering this summer I missed a lot of work.  when I don't work we make no money.  So the past few weeks we have been working about three times more than usual just to try to catch up.  It's really been nonstop. I'm very thankful that I have the business and the work to do, but it is tiring and I've just not been posting.

This is my first visit back since 1994!

When we lived in New London, CT, we would come up regularly to visit relatives here, usually just for a quick weekend. We would usually just hang out around Boston Common - especially a magic and novelty shop which I think is long gone.

Tomorrow, I plan to spend some more time in Cambridge, ride along the Charles River and through the MIT and Harvard campuses. Sunday I may be seeing my godparents - I haven't seen them since 1992 (1990?). And then Monday will be a museum day, I hope. And then it's off to Seattle Monday night.

This week was very productive but crazy.  I actually completely forgot to go to band and forgot to do several other things I promised to do. But I got a lot of work done.   I'll be working this weekend, but doing some other things too
