Good morning, all! I finally had a good night of sleep
I enjoyed my visit with our own DR elmore and he graciously lent me his umbrella, gave me some chocolates and..... and the "Dearest Enemy" CD, which was so nice of him. I'm really looking forward to listening, Larry!Hope you'll be able to go for a meal next time!

My breakfast visit with Bollywood and Punjabi (Pollywood) film actor, Aman Dhaliwal, on Saturday was wonderful. Such a nice guy and it was great to meet him in person. His cousin Davinder is also a great guy. Aman brought me some nice gifts including the soundtrack CD to his latest movie and a book on Sikh history, which is a subject he knows I am quite interested in. And he autographed a photo for me.They are both in Sacramento now, and will be heading to Los Angeles soon. I am so very glad that they were able to stop and visit with me during their motor trip!I took my camera, but unfortunately forgot to make sure the SD card was in it ...but, Davinder took several photos and he has promised to forward them to me. If and when he does, I will post them.
That is dismaying, DR Laura!
TOD:Even though I read a lot I'm not usually a big book recommender. Unless I know a person loves a certain genre.Here is a genre that I am sure most people on HHW will not have read before (and maybe not even heard of). It's called NA (New Adult). It has gotten really popular in the last year or two. It has characters that are 18-25. And has more mature subjects than YA.There is one author in this genre who has blown me away. Her name is Colleen Hoover.
Totally unprompted, a friend of mine on That Other Site just posted this status update:QuoteSome days, all one wants to do is to make a cup of cocoa, put on one's fuzzy bunny slippers, and curl up with The First Nudie Musical.

<--- Yrs Truly in 1972, just before driving out to L.A.And I didn't know this before, but apparently it's my Oswald picture. Can't tell what I was holding, but check out those shadows - on the grass and under the nose!
BK, your story of the evil customer reminds me of why I am so glad to be out of the retail business!

THE BOOK THIEF which is one of the rare books I've give 5 stars to was published in the States as YA and as a regular adult book in Australia where it was originally published. I'm curious if it would be called NA today.

Cynical me thinks that it's only a new marketing ploy...not that there's anything wrong with that.
