DR vixmom - I hope you and all your efforts are appreciated by the folks at your church!

DR vixmom - I hope you will use your newly repopulated cell phone directory to notify others, in a timely manner, of mini-LI-HHW-get-togethers at roadhouses and diners.

Oh -- I must report to DR vixmom the latest parking coup: $18 (count 'em) in a theater district garage on the most crowded and agonizingly slow-moving Sunday afternoon I've experienced in a long time. It's the ICON on W. 45th that goes underneath Junior's, near the Booth. I've used that one a lot over the years because you can't beat the location. Now you can't beat the price, either, at least when using these web coupons. Mine was from http://nyc.bestparking.com/

These coupons must be all the rage now. They have signs posted reminding you to hand your coupons in with your ticket, and to be aware that the use of coupons requires payment by credit card. At least at some locations. I think it had to be cash at one somewhere else, not sure.

Good morning, all.

Great news on Sandy's show. The song of hers that I've been listening a lot to lately is "Don't Quit While You're Ahead." Makes me want to get back to the ballroom dancing more than ever. Hopefully soon.

Sorry about the mirror, DR Jeanne.

Monday vibes for all.

JRand, had a weird dream last night, so it's time to haul out the Dream-o-matic.

Dreamt that I was vacationing with friends on an island off the east coast. One of the friends was Blythe Danner, a bit younger than she is now. Anyway, she wanted to get into a kayak, so I helped her. Suddenly a hurricane like storm blew in and her kayak was found, but she wasn't for a day or two. When she was found, she was fine. She had decided to swim ashore.

Then we were on some sort of boat going past Navy ships, and there was Fred Astaire singing some sort of special song written for the commissioning of a vessel.

And then I woke up. (Only one margarita last night. Honest.)

Monday morning greetings! After having to set an alarm and be out and about both weekend mornings, I was glad to sleep 'til almost 8 today and to ease into the day. We'll probably go to the Y and, then, I have my 6-month dental check-up at 4pm.

Morning, all!

TOD: I recently went through my old Amazon reviews. Seems like I like the word "exquisite" quite a bit.

I predict that you will invent a brand-new genre of The Dance:

Ballroom Tap Dancing.

If there's a teacher, I'll gladly take the class.

It's not really that I decided to get up at 3:10 a.m. -- more like I decided to quit trying to sleep.

A lightning-quick trip to Tacoma and back will do that to a person.

Bk,

I'm so glad the show went well with Sandy B.

She is a beautiful girl with a lot of talent.

My brother Kevin often speaks kindly of her.!

Kate · « **Reply #54 on:** June 23, 2014, 08:24:01 AM »

DR John G:

Yes, I think you will enjoy it, especially the MUSIC.

Although I am a little too young for that era, I really enjoyed the songs.

And I am home. I like this earlier therapy time.

The bus stop back to Broadway is in front of a pre-school, and while I was waiting for the bus, all the pre-schoolers came out with their supervisors. They were so adorable! One little girl kept waving at me, so i waved back, then I asked her where they were all going. She said it was a play date in the park. When they all headed off, several waved goodbye. It made my day.

On an unpleasant note, I saw the super and asked about the ceiling; I got an "I'm waiting for . . ." response, that boded ill. We'll see how the afternoon goes.

So, I've got a few edits on the liner notes to do and I should get to them.

I love hearing it used correctly, and I love using it when it's appropriate.
