I have the fan running at Toyland, but it's so hot and muggy that I'm ready for a nap. Maybe I need the AC?

I'm up, I'm up - nine hours of sleep and I slept through the night.

Mother's Day greetings!  We celebrated last night with a lovely dinner at Middletown's Murphy's Landing.  This morning we went to Rob's church, to Smashburger for lunch, and then for a short visit with Mom.  Rob worked midnight-8am and had only catnapped, so he's now crashed.  Mary Linda is on her way home from Michigan.

Yep, the AC will help with the mugginess.  That's why we turned ours on a few days ago.

This is one of my favorite pictures of Mom & me, taken almost 9 years ago at my mother-in-law's 90th birthday party:

Here's something for the stylish mom of the 1970s and it was mail-order too, no waiting in long lines:

It was a very long day, though. I was hoping to sleep late, but the first thunderstorm of the day came through at 5:18 AM and Ricky came running into my room and jumped on the bed, then on me. He's afraid of thunder.   I couldn't get back to sleep so I got up, had coffee and was just thinking about going back to sleep when Paul called.  So I went out and had more coffee. Came home and was still tired and not feeling too well.  I laid down and 20 minutes later mom called.   I tried to go back to sleep and 20 minutes later the weather radio went off with a tornado watch. So I got up. I'm thinking of trying a nap again.

The Oxford comma - I like it.  The guy who proofs the liner notes for the Paramount titles always removes it.  Here is an example of the Oxford comma:  Sami, mom, and Alby.  Without: Sami, mom and Alby.

I always use the Oxford comma. I think it is still included in most stylebooks.

I think vapor smoking should be regulated like tobacco. There are also cigar smoke places too which I cannot walk by because of the smell

Only illiterates ignore the Oxford comma!  I love it!


I've been through both Moross scores; I thought the long one would never end. And DR ChasSmith should be heading to his car after ZORBA about now.  Perfect timing.
