Damn! I got caught in the downpour, which began shortly before the bus arrived at my stop.

We saw four little girls, all cute as buttons. My favorite, Maddie, has commitments so I believe she is out of the running. Colette read well, but her singing was tentative. Ivy is 4 feet tall, seven, just adorable, and sings well enough to cast. Elle, seven years old and a bundle of hyperactivity, also was a hoot and she read well, but she needs to learn to sing.

Er thoml we have Colin, but DJ wants to see a boy from MATILDA tomorrow as a possibility if something happens with Colin.

Anyone care to recommend which of Ned Rorem's diaries should be jumped into first? Otherwise, I'm inclined to start with the 1950s and 1960s (Paris, New York, Later...).

For now, I want 'em on Kindle, which those are.

Right, I see how they run now. Paris it is, then.

DR ELMORE you need a big umbrella like the Morton Salt girl.

Is BK the only one here who slept well?

I had trouble falling asleep, then woke at 4 am with my heart racing after a dream about a traffic stop. It was a couple hours before I could fall asleep again.

Something MUST be going on in the Heavens. I thought the angry Mars energy had passed.

Vibes of serenity and calm to all!

Yes, worldwide.

Colin is a very sweet boy. I hope you are able to cast him. And your pick of the girls.

Back. Fridge bought. Oy!

It'll be delivered Thursday.

Had to do it. The current one gave us twenty-two good years, and that's old for a fridge. It's still running fine, which is kind of sad, but it's developed a leak that would not be easily or cheaply fixed -- and, you know, not on a 22-year old one. So there it is.

My motto has always been to buy quality, take care of it, and keep it forever. However, most kitchen appliances are just not designed to last anymore. After all, everyone remodels their kitchen every ten years, right? I think you made the right decision. Be glad the old refrigerator lasted as long as it did.

I know, but I can't carry an umbrella, my bag, and my cane. It's not easy.

Yep - the guy from Sears who installed our dishwasher a year and a half ago as much as told us that appliances are designed to die sooner than they used to.

I prefer to wear a cap that covers my glasses & face and wear something with a hood I can pull up over my head. I rarely carry an umbrella.

It has been moved to our little marina to begin its river and ocean trials.

Fun facts gleaned from the crew - Cost: $32 million dollars; Fuel capacity: 16,000 gallons of diesel (enough for a Transatlantic crossing); Filler-up cost: $40,000; Annual maintenance: $1 million; Monthly rental (when not in use by owner): $200,000.

Yup...it's called built-in obsolescence.
