Man, it's a slow day here.

We have just been notified by our insurance company that we do qualify for a nice new roof, gutters, and downspouts because of the hailstorm last month.

So that will be happening soon.

I shall soon be off to rehearsal to get the rest of the photos AND run Act Two.....wherein I don't sing.

And my day at Loesser Enterprises is over! I had a nice bus ride home before the rush hour, and I am pondering dinner

I've decided that reading comprehension is not one of the strengths of many of the folks on Facebook.

So many conclusions are jumped to. So many idiotic comments made about subject matter with which you just KNOW the responder could not ever in a million years have become acquainted.

And just DARE to express your dismay over what a beloved TV show has become (in case of point, "Person of Interest") and lesbian assassins are hot on your tale trying to make you confess you have issues with lesbian women. As a fan of "Person of Interest", I "liked" its Facebook page. As a "liker", I get the occasional feed from the "Person of Interest" page. Today's was a feed of a video in which Amy Acker shared her opinions on her character Root's relationship with the character Shaw (they've become a lesbian couple and the main focus of the show). This was not what drove me from the show, by the way...I quit becoming a regular viewer one and half seasons back when a new machine and super villains were introduced to set up an evil empire. My love for the show was always based on the two main characters' desire to help people their machine identified as being threatened/endangered in some way.

So, to this new post, I opined (and by myself...NOT in response to anyone else's post):

"Gosh, it's so strange to me that Root has become the focus of this show. It's no longer the show I fell in love with."

That's it. Innocuous, but matter-of-fact. I was floored by the reactions I got from a couple of women proclaiming I have LGBTQ and lesbian issues. How dare I post anything negative to that show's Facebook page if I don't watch the show? I handled each attack calmly but firmly. I was not critical or condemnatory of anyone. Yet, the end result is that I have "blocked" one particularly strident person who demanded that I explain myself and my "obvious" attempt at "moral superiority".

Great Caesar's Ghost!

On a more positive footing, I'm eagerly looking forward to an expanded soundtrack for "Chinatown".

I don't think it's a matter of this being a slow day. I think it's a matter of too many of us being up to something else.

That usually doesn't happen on a Tuesday, does it?

Tonight is the big season finale -- and Tony Dinozzo's farewell -- to "NCIS". For me, this season has been a disappointment. Last week's episode (part 1 of 2) only partially pleased me (it sort of caught fire toward the end). I'll definitely watch this episode, but they're going to have to resurrect my interest in the show by doing it really well rather than the by-the-numbers and not-so-interesting approach that seems to have been the past season.

I could be way off base on this, but I'm more inclined to discontinue watching after having been fully onboard with the show for many seasons. I haven't really enjoyed the character played by Emily Wickersham. She's perfectly fine and does the part well, but there's not really any chemistry with any of the other characters (including Gibbs, with whom the writers seem to be trying to create a special bond toward her).

Cote de Pablo was impossible to replace, apparently. Her character of Ziva was mysterious, dangerous, funny and sexy. That's an awesome combination and it has been missed. Before Ziva, there was Kate and she had her own strengths. This newer character (whose name, other than the actress's name, always eludes me) doesn't have any of the qualities of the previous two. That could be, and may yet become, a good thing.

But...with Tony leaving and only Tim and Abby and Ducky and Jimmy left behind with Gibbs, I'm not feeling it.

Good afternoon. I wasted a beautiful morning by doing yard work.

During the night, my desktop computer updated to Windows 10. Now the speakers don't work and it says the dvd in the dvd slot is empty.

"NCIS: New Orleans" also have its season finale tonight...and it's also part 2.

Ivan Sergei was last week's guest star. It was quite obvious before the show was half over that he was going to be the adversary they were looking for even though he was a Homeland Security official.

Any time a guest star appears in a show in which an unknown villain is being hunted, it always seems to be the guest star who is the culprit.

Ho-hum.

We are back from our delightful day trip to Circleville. The papercrafting store, Creative Chaos, is fabulous and the proprietor, Angela, is very helpful. She has an aunt here in Middletown who worked at the school district central office at the same time Richard did. It's a good thing the shop is a 2-hour drive, for the sake of my bank account.

We had lunch at good deli, then visited Wittich's, the "nation's oldest confectionery," for chocolate to bring home.

DR Ginny I dreamed last night that I was in Middletown and there was a concert of the Victor Herbert Collected songs, conducted by Jim Martin, and the singers included Snooky and other Lyric Theatre peoples.

Was it at the restored Sorg Opera House and was I your rehearsal assistant?

DR Ron, I didn't trust the Homeland Security agent from the first time we saw him - and I didn't know who the actor was!

I hear ya! The trouble with him was the connection he was making with Agent Brody. She was too much "into" him, and he seemed to be stringing her along. Unless they were going to add him to the cast, I knew that wasn't going to go anywhere but into trouble.

Oh, but was it "wasted"? Does your yard not look more beautiful as a result of the work that you did? Can you not appreciate it more as the sun sets upon the handiwork of your labors?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
