I filed my tax returns (federal and state) today.  I used TaxAct.com.   I'm a whole week early!

[KevinH]

BK: I started "Thrill Ride" and am enjoying it! 

[Jane]

Thanks DR JANE - time will tell......

Thank you.   I am constantly having the back of my hands sprayed with nitro, never needed a biopsy before this spot. 

[Jane]

Vibes to Jane and her hand.

Thank you.  How is your back pain?

Colson Whitehead's Underground Railroad won the Pulitzer for literature today.  Has anyone read it?

Yes and I was disappointed in it.

I've been disappointed in a lot of Pulitzer-winning novels. Still want the time back I wasted on Oscar Woo.

[George]

Well, today is going to be a day.  I'm working as a barback at  AN EVENING WITH GARRISON KEILLOR!  I'm sure that it'll be a real fun evening!

And now I'm off to experience Garrison Keillor! 

Be back later!

I have to come up with some music representing old Italian folk songs or dances for a one-time family event some theater folks are putting together.  The music will be instrumental and low key in presentation, used largely for scene setting and perhaps a tiny bit of underscoring in a kind of staged reading of a children's book that takes place in a fictional Italian past.  I'm hoping to find a few snippets of things, a few phrases here, a few phrases there, from perhaps these kinds of books.

Mandolin and accordion music would be appropriate, maybe some fiddle music.  This probably isn't anyone's forte any more than it is mine, but if anybody has other ideas along these lines, they would be much appreciated.

Same year. I often think, "Oh it won an award, maybe I shouldn't read it".  I think I appreciated The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao a bit bit more than you did.  I would be telling anyone to read it.

Right after I finished reading Underground Railroad a friend asked if I had read it.  She was struggling with it.  I have given her feedback on a few other books she wasn't sure if she wanted to finish, suggesting she not which advise she happily took.    She felt as if this is something, because of the subject she should finish.  I told her there were better books and they weren't so depressing.  Last I heard she was taking a break from the book and planned to return.  I rarely return to books I take a break from

I bid you all a lovely good night, as I must call it an early one in order to get several decent hours of sleep so as to not feel totally awful getting up at 5:30 a.m.  Just basically awful is to be expected, but let's please not have totally awful.  I hope that isn't asking too much of the universe.

A day of auditions is calling my name, and I shan't be online till I'm back home tomorrow evening.  Most excellent Tuesday vibes to all!

[Jane]

I haven't gone to my favorite deli in a long time, due to location and the fact their incredible coleslaw is no longer incredible. That is Nate 'n Al Delicatessen. 

There aren't any deli's here and what is in Portland is nothing to rave about.

[Jane]

I do not like Juniors, Bruce's deli of choice, or convenience.

This morning I had my hand evaluated for the method of removal of that little skin cancer.  She double blasted it with a nitro spray.  I hope that does the trick.

Vibes that it does.

Anyone with a penchant for slitting their wrists maybe.

Enjoy. He's coming to town soon and I'm on the waiting list to usher.

A book arrived in the mail ....

[John G.]

Started watching Chasing Amy, which I hadn't seen since it first came out. A very young Casey Affleck has an interesting cameo at the beginning with his brother.

[John G.]

I also watched a great episode of Brokenwood tonight. One of the best.

[John G.]

And then my sister posted this because it's National Siblings Day.

[John G.]

Oy, is that a memory.

[Matthew]

Oy, is that a memory.

That has to be the best hair I've see all day in sibling photos!

[John G.]

Oy, is that a memory.

That has to be the best hair I've see all day in sibling photos!

Those were the 1980s.

[John G.]

Good night, all.

Juniors doesn't exist - I go to Jerry's   I don't even consider it a deli save for their good chicken soup.

[bk]

Finished with my viewing.

It looks like a great memory to me.

Of course I meant Jerry's of the horrible bread..
