I must get the ol' bloomin' arse moving and into the city for the get-together.

I'm taking a train that gets me there way in advance of our meetup time, but which keeps me from having to practically run from Grand Central to Ninth Avenue.  I can happily kill time moseying around the theater district.

TOD:

1. I left home (Seattle) in early November of 1963, 5 months after graduating from college. 
2. I rented a single apartment in W. Hollywood on Fountain at Sweetzer.  Less than 1 month after I moved in, JFK was shot and, about a month or so after that, actress Karen Kupsinut was murdered less than a block from my building.
3. Since leaving my childhood home, I've lived in 10 different apartments or houses.

I'm very sleepy.  I had a curious dream involving ice skating on a river and some office-editing job in which my co-worker seemed to be at one point my friend Peter Foley and at another time British actor Nicky Henson.  When the alarm rang, I dreamed I was taking a bath and talking to my mother from behind the closed door.

I've been looking at some of the FB comments on the Encores! Golden Apple cast.  Oy!

In case you haven't seen the cast, here it is.  Mayor Hector is still to be announced:

Tuesday morning greetings!  I'm enjoying a slow morning, recovering from our whirlwind Easter trip to Lima and our belated celebration yesterday with Rob and Mary Linda.  Tonight Richard and I are going to the Miami campus in Hamilton to hear a lecture about FDR by James Tobin.

TOD:
I left home to go to college at UC-Irvine when I graduated high school at age 18. I loved in the dorms for two years and then lived in an on-campus apartment for a year. Being a dance major, I was able to graduate in three years because there wasn't much homework. After graduating college:
1984 - Apartment in West LA with a roommate
1986 - Rent-controlled apartment in Santa Monica with my fiancé
1991 - Single-family home in Thousand Oaks with my husband
1999 - Townhouse in Calabasas by myself after divorce
2003 - Single-family home in Thousand Oaks with Mark
And we're still there 14 years later. I've lived in this house far longer than I've ever lived anywhere else.

Been listening to Victor Herbert's Canzonetta for Cello and Piano. Lovely way to start the day. Now some Britten cello concertos.

I left home at 17 when I went off to college. Except for one summer of summer school in Louisville, I never lived at home again.

Journalism used to be like the military. You went where the work was. After Louisville, I lived in Lexington, Ky., Cincinnati and Middletown, Ohio, Catskill, N.Y., Sarasota and Port Charlotte, Fla., and now San Antonio.

TOD - My parents sold the house I considered home as soon as I graduated from high school in Detroit.  They moved to the 'burbs when I left for college and I was in and out of their place for 5 years, but never really considered it "home."  I lived in university housing for my 4 undergraduate years, then tried living with Mom & Dad for the first half of my grad school year.  That DID NOT work, so I moved into an apartment in Ann Arbor with a former roommate.  From there, I moved here to Middletown at age 22 for my first professional library job and lived in 3 different apartments until Richard and I got married.  I moved into the house he owned until we bought our current house in 1988.  I said then this was my "forever house" and I'd move out feet first.

NPR.org is offering a free listen to Groundhog Day all week. A few raves including the NYT for the show. And a few grumbles.

TOD:

I joined the Navy in 1970 when I was 21.

My first apartment was in Vicenza, Italy, from 1973-75.
Next came Voula, Greece (a suburb of Athens) where I had an apartment for five months.  It was supposed to be for two years, but the government of Greece asked the U.S. Navy to leave Greece after the Cyprus incident.
I went from there to Naples, Italy, where I had an apartment from 1975-77.
Then, I went to Washington DC where I had an apartment for a year in Arlington, two blocks behind the Iwo Jima Memorial.
From there, I went to Lawrence IN where I lived for 5 years teaching Journalism at the Defense Information School at Fort Benjamin Harrison.
After that, I was assigned to an aircraft carrier out of Alameda CA.  I lived on the ship the whole time.
In 1987, I was sent back to Italy where I rented a villa on a lake in Lago Patria, Italia, about 20 miles north of Naples.  I left there in 1992 and reported to San Diego where I was on another carrier. 

I retired from the Navy on Dec. 31, 1993.

I drove north to Oakland where I shared a very nice apartment with a friend from January 1995 to November 1995.  I then moved into my condo in Oakland where I have been ever since.

In September, I will be moving to Johnston SC for the rest of my life.
