Someday DR vixmom and I will take a meal together at a good diner or an IHOP or some such, and the local papers will send photographers to cover the event.  And the spread.

Perhaps one weekend when Ben and Anthony are on Long Island   Maybe taken a show up at northport

Yesterday I went to the lake to see my family.  Everyone has been telling my mom she has too much stuff in her screened in porch but no one has helped her with it.  So she and I pulled everything out, I scrubbed the floor and helped her rearrange.  We only had to take one chair out of the room and haul a couple area rugs to the garage.  Ta Da.

I overdid it a bit yesterday, but mom really needed the help and it was a good way to get them to quit bugging her about the mess in that room

I was a bit dizzy before I left, but I am really glad I came home. It was good to sleep in my own bed.

I checked my insurance online today.  The bad news is it cost $10, 745.69  for my rabies shots.  The good news is it looks like insurance just might pay all of it

Well, I have a high deductible, so I wasn't sure if that would apply.  I'll have to pay it on the surgery so I'll pay one way or another, but it makes me feel better knowing they covered that much already

Love that recording. I'm listening to a Blue Pear release of "A Joyful Noise." Sound isn't great, but Karen Morrow is, as always.

Talked to Dad this morning. It seems as if Mom wants to go back to Germany once more. The trip would be too stressful for him, so he, in a roundabout way, asked if I would go with her.

Glad to. If I can build up enough vacation time.

BK, with the Kritzerland show you're doing tomorrow, is there potential that if it feels right, there might be an actual show there in the way you're organizing it?  For all the timing and organizational hiccups, it's at least sounding like a revue that could have popular success in theatrical venues.

Absolutely - I feel that with a lot of our shows and, in fact, did the Lost and Unsung revue after we did those two shows at Kritzerland, same with Pure Imagination, which was born out of our Kritzerland show.  Our shows, with my patter, run about eighty minutes so it's not like we'd have to do a lot.  Where the fun would be is getting to actually stage stuff.

The actual underscore in Valley of the Dolls is John Williams - but Previn and then-wife Dory are indeed credited with the songs.

I'm up - eight hours - could have slept more but the little noisy parade they do down my street every year happened a little earlier this year.  So, I stayed in bed, hoping to fall back asleep, but my idiot neighbors came out with their chums and were loud.  That kept up for over an hour and now that I finally got up - they're gone.

Not feeling too well today.  It's Saturday In the Park a free concert.  Aretha Franklin is the headliner.  I'm just not up for the crowds today.  So, guess I'll miss it this year

Up from a nap. This has been a wonderfully lazy day so far.

I went to the grocery store this morning.  They had $1 cantaloupe and 2.49 seedless watermelons.  So I got one of each.

Yum

As I was going to the store, the parking lot was jammed.  So, I was waiting for someone who was about to back out.  This guy suddenly started backing right into me.   I started honking at him and he didn't stop, luckily the car in front of me moved and I was able to get out of his way.  I was REALLY mad.  I got out and yelled at him to watch where he was driving.  He said "Why didn't you wait for me"   He wasn't even in the car when I started waiting for the other car.  Seriously this guy was very close to hitting me.   I decided right then and there I was going home for the day

Thanks.   I'm going to try to rally and go to the baseball game.  Not sure I'll stay for fireworks, but the games always cheer me up
