Jane, I finished the latest Michael Connelly, The Late Show, last night. Good stuff. Fast moving.

One of the washers is dead and Val has called the company for repair.  It's taking me longer than I'd like to do the wash but everything is now in the dryers.

Vibes for our WEST COAST denizens....hopefully the fires and ash will soon begone!

DR TCB does the ash and fire air bother Dear Kitty Nicky?

DR JANE I am so sorry this is effecting your walking schedule and outdoor activities....that is a PAIN in the....uh.....neck.

We are having beautiful weather here....just cool enough for a short sleeve shirt and no jacket....not HOT sunshine!  I hope it continues....for about eight months!  LOL

The pump comes off today!

Tom Jones, an author/lyricist of some repute (you may have heard the name), is planning to come see our production of that marriage show.  He lives about an hour north of here.

In other news, he says he's been rewriting/tweaking it again.

The electricians have arrived and they turned off the electricity while I was riding the elevator to the basement.  I stood in pitch black darkness between floors yelling for help until they restored power and apologized.  It also screwed up the running dryers.  Thank you, gentlemen, and screw you.

He does this with every show.  I wish he'd stop.

Thursday morning afternoon greetings!  I've been up a while, but busy baking Rob some blueberry muffins for his birthday.  He's 32 today - how did THAT happen?

Thanks, DR Elmore.  They enjoyed their anniversary dinner - Melting Pot is one of their all-time favorite restaurants.

The plane is delayed three hours. I'm glad I checked before I left for the airport.

T.O.D.

I am not much of a trendsetter when it comes to food.  I do not like kale and I don't even know what quinoa is.


I am not even sure that George shouldn't be burned at the stake for putting cashews on pizza.

But I do love cashews.  Recently, I even got some cashew butter for the first time.

A salad we like at our local restaurant, Beaches, has delicious caramelized cashews.

I have managed to secure a plane ticket at the last moment and will be leaving Florida today before Irma arrival.

Great news!

I cancelled my Saturday flight which now look like I probably would not have left as I would have flown out of Miami.

Did the airline give you a full refund?

Yea for the pump removal :)

Don't feel bad for me, even with swimming instead of walking I managed to record 8.85 miles on my fitbit yesterday.  Our biggest interruption to exercising was our company that didn't want to walk in the heat.

I can feel the smoke in my lungs and am coughing some but it isn't bad.  I have felt worse when the pollen count is high.

Thanks.  I just put a hold on it and am #83 on 24 copies.  That is a lot of copies purchased even for eBooks.

Did they at least pay to restart the dryers?  Horrible they didn't check the one elevator in your building.
