I've been out running around all morning, and now I have to run out again to see a play.  Dark of the Moon.  I've never seen it, and today's was the only performance I could get to. 

I worked on a production in 1970 and another in 1971.  The playwright came to see the 1950 production.  He was drunk on his ass.  It's a bit of fakelore but I can see it working in a production that pushed the horror and played down the Hee-Haw aspects.  We referred to it at the time as Fart of the Goon.

Larry I found out my Mom fell the other day because she was balancing on a step stool to change a light bulb. (Fortunately she is ok)  I ordered one of these for her


https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0046UBW5W/ref=asc_df_B0046UBW5W5217204/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=394997&creativeASIN=B0046UBW5W&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167127504138&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14518735009663474791&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=t&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9004498&hvtargid=pla-304178743861

The bulbs are changed.  It's a ceiling fixture with two bulbs.  The worst part, besides my fear of falling nine feet off a ladder, is that there is a shade that's a bitch to put back once the bulbs are changed.  Val tells me to call him, but I don't want to bother him any more than I have to.  He's got over 100 apartments to cater to on the block.  He works hard.

I am relieved you did not fall off of the ladder.

My wife, Sandy, has surgery tomorrow. 

Not a major surgery, but surgery is surgery.

Good vibes appreciated.

Good surgery vibes to Sandy!   I don't believe you saw my post the other day asking how her foot is.

Her foot is doing okay.  This surgery is for her hand.

I hope the hand surgery is easier than the foot surgery was, and that both correct the issues.

Archie is a cutie.  Having cats that look too much alike in the dark, different is a good idea :)

I'm up, I'm up - and have been so since nine-thirty, thanks to the unannounced arrival of the helper - only six hours of sleep, I think.

Thank you, Jack.

DR vixmom, I think your comment about a younger cat is a good idea.  I will start thinking along those lines.

Good luck in your kitty search Larry!   Neve's owner before my sister's boyfriend (also named Larry) had her, was an older woman who smokes in her house :P and who has two other younger cats.  My niece would like to covertly "rescue" one of the other cats and have me take it, too.  The third cat is very skittish and is probably not rescueable.

My sister has something like this.  She loaned it to me last month and it worked really well.

So, the cat search begins.  I want a cat that looks very different from Annabelle, and I've just fallen in love with Archie in Astoria. I can't afford at the moment to adopt him, thanks to tis check mess, but he's my model.





So cute!! :D

Be back later.

Ushering seems to be the activity for the afternoon.

I like Dark of the Moon - but it depends on the director....as DR ELMORE said....

Annabelle seemed rather love-starved before she found you, Larry. She may not want to share you--at least not yet.

I slept late, which was very nice, and I awoke to find I need to replace two burned out light bulbs. One was easy, but the kitchen requires the Big Ladder, and I need to get my enthusiasm up for that one.

The bulbs in my kitchen light fixture are really difficult to change. I usually need help. Pablo helped me when he was here a couple months ago, and even had to stand on the kitchen counter to do it.

Don't designers consider such things? Maybe OXO needs to get involved. I like all the products of theirs that I've used.

It's like Cats around here - now and forever.  What precipitated elmore's cat obsession after all these catless years?

Made and ate the remaining penne pasta (about six ounces) with a little butter and sautéed chicken.  Filling and good and good and filling, not necessarily in that order.
