Stumble-through was REALLY good, and then a few of us went to Casa Vega, where I had two beef tacos - those have less than three hundred calories, so with my matzoh brei earlier I'm still a bit less than 1000 calories, plus whatever amount I jogged off.

My day did not go as planned

vixmom · « **Reply #62 on:** August 06, 2016, 07:01:04 PM »

I was supposed to me the client around 1 I Times Square. After arriving and parking in a garage I called to let him know I arrive only to be told he was in New Jersey and would not be there fir another hour

vixmom · « **Reply #63 on:** August 06, 2016, 07:03:08 PM »

So I wandered a bit and finally walked down to Macy's

vixmom · « **Reply #64 on:** August 06, 2016, 07:04:33 PM »

I called again and was told he would be another hour or so....then at my third call he announced that I should meet him down at 22nd street

vixmom · « **Reply #65 on:** August 06, 2016, 07:05:57 PM »

So I walked down there and met him more than 2 hours latr than planned, 25 blocks away from my car

vixmom · « **Reply #66 on:** August 06, 2016, 07:07:10 PM »

I met him at a restaurant where he had clearly just had a meal with someone else as two plates and glasses were pushed to the side

vixmom · « **Reply #67 on:** August 06, 2016, 07:08:39 PM »

I did not express my annoyance at having my day wasted while he had lunch... Just Had him sign the papers and went on my way

Then I suddenly realized I was in Chelsea

vixmom · « **Reply #69 on:** August 06, 2016, 07:10:19 PM »

And I further realized that two people I liked very much and had not seen in much too long live in Chelsea.

vixmom · « **Reply #70 on:** August 06, 2016, 07:11:58 PM »

I made a phone call and invited to me to meet me for ice cream and was in turn invited to visit

vixmom · « **Reply #71 on:** August 06, 2016, 07:13:54 PM »

Shortly after I arrived the skies opened and the rain came pouring down but we were happily catching up in the dry

vixmom · « **Reply #72 on:** August 06, 2016, 07:14:37 PM »

Then the rain stopped , the sun came out, and we went out to a local diner and had a lovely dinner

vixmom · « **Reply #73 on:** August 06, 2016, 07:15:05 PM »

So a potentially crummy day turned into a very lovely one

vixmom · « **Reply #74 on:** August 06, 2016, 07:15:15 PM »

And I am niw home

vixmom · « **Reply #75 on:** August 06, 2016, 07:16:15 PM »

And here endeth my tale...I pass the talking stick

Good evening, all.

John G. · « **Reply #77 on:** August 06, 2016, 07:51:52 PM »

Spent the day talking about rose' wine up on Fredericksburg at a winery and then having a picnic under the olive trees while the sun set.

Lovely. Relaxing.

Except I discovered that one of my front headlights has gone out. I need to get that fixed -- and soon.

TOD:

I've read everything of Stephen King's and have forgotten more than I remember.

The Stand
It
The first half of Gerald's Game
Bag of Bones
The trilogy of Mr. Mercecdes/Finders Keepers/End of Watch

TOD 2:

The worst of Stephen King is his attempt at a musical. Written with John Mellencamp. Called Ghost Brothers of Darkland County. Oh, my, did it stink.

John G. · « **Reply #81 on:** August 06, 2016, 08:07:28 PM »

Busy time. And I still haven't started packing. Oy.

The library where I work bought the CD. I listened to it but I didn't care for the style of music at all. I like Stephen King but I didn't enjoy this.

George · « **Reply #83 on:** August 06, 2016, 08:45:05 PM »

I'd read a lot of King's early novels, but at some point I just stopped reading his stuff. I liked his writing style and the stories, but his endings just crapped out.

George · « **Reply #84 on:** August 06, 2016, 08:45:23 PM »

It got to be a little annoying.

I agree with you. Under the Dome started out well, but when he reached page 1,000, he just seemed to lose interest and just stopped the story in about 15 pages.

Also, the Dark Tower series just filled page after page of nothing, and the ending was worst of all.

Watching an Arthur Miller play called Incident at Vichy. Very good cast, including Rene Auberjonois, Richard Jordan, Harris Yulin, Barry Primus and more. Not Miller's best writing. But it's good.

GYPSY is done. D.U.N. Done. Finished. Kaput.

I only read the first three books. There was too big a gap until the next book and I lost interest. I haven't read any of the others in the series.
