I've spent too much time this morning on "the memoirs," and my cooking window is over.  Off to Adelaide and Nathan Detroit.

I didn't know you were actively working on it. I'm glad to hear it.

Suddenly my day freed up. Ah! Grocery shopping! Sound familiar, DR Chas? As there was nothing here for dinner it was actually an attractive option.

Was Trader Joe's included in your rounds?

It was in mine!   :)

Anatomy of a Broadway Flop: Why These 4 Shows Failed

"The woeful wordplay writes itself. “American Psycho” met a gruesome end. “Tuck Everlasting” was not immortal. “Bright Star” ran out of fuel. And “Disaster!” proved to be — well, you can finish that one yourself.

"Broadway is a brutal business, in which real success is enjoyed by a handful of shows, while a vast majority crash and burn. And this season was especially tough, because one show, “Hamilton,” gobbled up much of the attention, enthusiasm and awards that motivate potential ticket buyers..."

Wednesday afternoon greetings from Orlando!  We had a smooth trip from Macon and have settled in here for a week.  First things first - we're doing laundry!

I always tell people, laundry detergent makes a tasteful, thoughtful gift, but i still prefer Godivas.

No tree people because, as always, the business manager has to get approval and that approval sometimes takes years although I've told him at the very least they have to come this week to trim back around the DirecTV dish or they can take over paying those bills, and also cut the little fruit balls that are relentlessly falling from the main palm tree and that are landing everywhere including the pool.

Aside from that I have spent most of the afternoon with my head in the cloud.

But I'll save that for the notes.  The Cloud is so baffling to me on so many levels and everything on every device was not set up properly but hopefully after hours and hours it should all be working right now.

After our laundry was done, we ventured out onto International Drive looking for a dinner place.  Decided on Friendly's, which hit the spot, then drove a bit more on I-Drive until it got dark.  We're in for the night and looking forward to a slow morning tomorrow.

Thanks, DR Vixmom!  Richard is pushing 70 and I'm on Medicare and this is the first time either of us has driven to Florida.  We've flown here together twice, but driving down is a "rite of passage."

Hope your trip next week is smooth.  Are going to try to meet up on I-95?

Well, one of my staff is retiring at the end of the month, and today I was looking at the eight applications for potential interviewees.  Tomorrow morning, my supervisor, the other person on the hiring team and I will meet to discuss said potential interviewees.  We do have two in-house candidates.  The person who is retiring was the person I hired to replace me when I became the supervisor of the department, so she was the first person that I hired.  Now I'm replacing her.  Things are certainly changing.
