Well, you've read the notes, the notes had no sleep, and now it is time for you to post until the sleepy cows come home.

I have taken a liberal dose of the Ny-Quil.

New five-star Amazon review:

"Mom will be so proud to know her Einstein did something important... Let that be enough." Wow. I am not typically a person who is intrigued by fantasy or time-travel to be exact, and this THRILL RIDE of a novel certainly proved effective. If only we all could have a conversation with our younger self, if only we could go back for three minutes even, or forward for one day-- what revelations, gratitude and hope could be realized! I have to say the very matter-of-fact, inquisitive voice of "Einstein" (as referred to by his late mother) juxtaposed with the gruff yet nurturing voice of Irene, the caretaker to his older self, makes for a very pleasant blend of dialogue meets detail, meets action meets memories and... progression. I was captivated to know such vividly placed details of a Los Angeles that once 'was'. I felt I myself going back in time as the narrator traveled further (forward) into a modern mesh of technological advancements that may pique one's curiosity as to why the human race is falling short in empathy and genuine connecting. Themes such as: 'taking a stand to make a difference' , 'slowing down', and... 'not necessarily being able to change history, but certainly being able to control one's outlook and dynamic part in each day' are woven throughout the reading. Just the right amount of down-to-earth humor and heartfelt humanity drives the adventure that is THRILL RIDE. So, do yourself a favor, and enjoy a quick and pensive summer read, and find hope again in a "great, big BEAUTIFUL tomorrow."

Now, if only TCB and Vixmom would write their long-promised reviews that would make me very happy. But I'm sure these months later the book is no longer even in their minds.

The threads seem all disoriented. Maybe it will be fixed when BK wakes up.

We have our second and final show today. A short run! I don't mind that it'll be over and I can move on to other things, but it's been way more fun and rewarding than l'd expected.

We also lucked out, in spades, with beautiful weather. Mid-80s, sunny, and dry. You can't ask for better than that for an outdoor show. Because that's it, baby. There ain't no better.

Sunday morning greetings! Yesterday was much improved over the day before and was a vast improvement over how we spent our ALA Saturday last year in Orlando (ER with Richard's double vision). I had a nice morning listening to authors and publicists talk about forthcoming books, lunched with Richard, and went to my 2 Retired Member Roundtable meetings.

Ginny · « **Reply #15 on:** June 25, 2017, 05:48:52 AM »

We picked up our HAMILTON tickets, had a quick dinner here at the hotel, and went to the show at 8pm. I am still speechless over how wonderful it was!

Now that we've had a Palmer House experience, I'll be happy to go back to the Hampton Inn that adjoins the theatre where we saw the show last night. We've stayed there twice and would be there this time if rooms had been available when I booked back in January.

I dreamed something about animal rescue and an office with kittens running around, and my ;ast dream was something to do with working at the Drama Book Shop and doing a show for NYMF.

The laundry is in the washers and I hope to do the final edit on Guys & Dolls today. Thirteen months is log enough. Babes In Toyland took three years before too manyt colleagues became involved.

Well, it seems that poor Eli Wallach died three years ago, so I was wrong.

Life goes on.

Last night I spent too much time trying to find a set of books I have on Dickens, Austen, and Shakespeare. I usually know approximately where something is in the mess and maze of bookshelves, but I have no idea where the fat hell they are. This requires further investigation if I find the time today.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 25, 2017, 06:22:15 AM »

And to work.

Off to breakfast with Richard - bye for now!

Thank you DR ELMORE! I hope you find your books!

Good news from DR GINNY.

And they were where I estimated. I needed to move a chest in front of the bookshelves, crawl on the floor, and there they were.

DR Jeanne, thank you for the info on Norm's foam. I am in need of a new foam pillow. I haven't found a website for them. They have a Facebook page I marked. I don't know when we will travel to LA again.
