I slept much too well last night. Much, much too well. It was a wonderfully cool night...mercifully cool, as far as my condo goes. No trapped heat despite the outside temp being quite nice.

We have a partly cloudy and partially sunny morning going on. The clouds are quite definable (i.e., definitely not Marine Layer fog).

Tuesday morning greetings! I'm off soon to the grocery to stock up before I get really busy for the next several days. This evening AAUW Middletown is participating in our city's National Night Out event and starting about noon tomorrow I will be in the northern Cincinnati 'burbs for Stampaway USA 2015. I'm taking several papercrafting classes and, on Saturday, attending the trade show. I'm only staying overnight on Thursday because I have a late class that day and an early one on Friday morning. Otherwise, I'll be driving back and forth and sleeping in my own bed.

Right now my reading is confined to The Game's Afoot or Holmes for the Holidays by Ken Ludwig....

Yes DR CHAS SMITH he was a most interesting man and had some great ideas for life onstage and offstage.

Pretty bird.

I saw it last night while walking home and thought the female swan was looking a bit on the thin side. This morning we looked at the Blue Heron through the telescope and then at the matching Egret. As soon as I saw a close-up view I realized my error last night. Of course if I had seen the female swan last night I would have known there. I only saw the male. This morning they were both out with the heron& the egret.

Hello One and All.....You may have noticed there hasn't been a new Broadway Radio Show for the past several weeks -- that's because I was on vacation in Scotland and Spain, but I have now returned and just posted the latest edition of the radio show. This time we are catching up with 8 new cast recordings released this summer -- Fly By Night, Pageant, Jon & Jen, The King & I, Finding Neverland, Misia, The Scottsboro Boys, and Seven Brides For Seven Brothers. Lots and lots of great music for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!!!

Donald your trip sounds very nice.

Hey, everyone!

TOD: Just read "The Girl With All the Gifts" by Mike Carey. It's a zombie-apocalypse book, which is not normally my genre of preference, but Carey's one of my favorite writers, and he quite ingeniously blends the genre elements with a retelling of a Greek myth (I don't want to say which one, although the title might give it away) and his own quite excellent character writing. It's also being made into a British movie featuring Glen Close. His graphic novel series, "The Unwritten," is also quite excellent.

I'm up, I'm up. I think I got eight hours of sleep, maybe a bit more.

I just added it to my Washington eBook wish list which I will get to one day.

DR Jennifer is this something you would read?

Jane · « **Reply #42 on:** August 04, 2015, 10:35:48 AM »

I am 21 books behind my goal to read 140 books for the year. 140 books should be nothing to me, boy has my life changed this year

Next year I will challenge myself to only read the number of books I read this year.

John G. · « **Reply #43 on:** August 04, 2015, 11:32:24 AM »

I used to read like that, Jane. Wish I could now, but that's for the future.

Jane · « **Reply #44 on:** August 04, 2015, 11:34:13 AM »

Apparently I no longer read like that-lol. I can't seem to speed read either. On the upside I am sleeping better most of the time. Mostly I'm just busy doing other things.

I have begun reading Schulberg's What Makes Sammy Run?, which I've wanted to read for ages, since I once worked for a person in the recording industry who could be the model for Sammy Glick.

I had a nice trip and visit with friends at the NYPL.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #47 on:** August 04, 2015, 12:10:20 PM »

I've started that one one on a couple of occasions, DR Elmore, and never stuck with it for some reason. I'm pretty sure that wasn't any fault of the book's. Looking forward to your report.

I never keep track on the number of posts. I really missed 35,000 yesterday.

DR George, I didn't thank you for preserving the occasion. I'm sorry.

Thank you.

My library has as an e-book download, so I went ahead and placed a hold.

Does anyone here play Trivia Crack?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #53 on:** August 04, 2015, 01:17:27 PM »

I am pretty busy today, but I'm pausing for a meal break. Salisbury Steak w/Mac and Cheese. Really, it's a spiraled pasta and cheese. It's a Boston Markets frozen lunch. It's filling if not nutritious.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #54 on:** August 04, 2015, 01:20:30 PM »

Last night, I had some breaded/fried pork medallions, fried okra and fresh tomatoes. I LOVE SUMMER!!!

Lay's Potato Chips - 4 newest flavors

Anyone tried them?

I've had the Southern Biscuits & Gravy: Pretty darned tasty
I've had the Greektown Gyro: Not so much.
And I'm currently tasting the New York Reuben -- Yum!
& the West Coast Truffle Fries -- Interesting, but I've never had the actual truffle fries so I don't know how it compares.

Anyone tried 'em/have any preferences?

The goodreads blurb sounds interesting. But they don't mention anything about zombies, which i really dislike.

I always set my goal lower, then increase it if i am reading a lot. You could adjust your goal now if you don't think you can read 140 books.
