Oh dear.  I need to run some water over my face and clean my glasses.  I read that as Oxycontin: The Musical!

[Jane]

A most excellent wedding report, DR Jrand67.

It is.

[elmore3003]

Good morning, all!  In a major brain meltdown yesterday afternoon, I moved all the clocks back.  This morning I reset them.

[Jane]

DR Jrand, you did well making it until 5:00.

I have been to weddings where the children added to the joy of the occasion, and others where it sounded like this event.  I also expect your tolerance levels are lower than usual.

[elmore3003]

It's going to be a wet day, so I will avoid the Petco adoption event and stay in.

[Jane]

DR George,  I also enjoyed reading about your fun evening.

Annabelle's discombobulated this morning.  Her schedule is off.  Because of the weather there are no birds.

[elmore3003]

DR JohnG, I have never read a novel by Mrs Gaskill.

[Jane]

I swear, you can't get a good apple fritter anymore.  I've tried one from each of two different supermarket bakeries, and there's almost no hint of apple in them.  The dough and the glaze are perfectly yummy, but they're shorting us on a very important ingredient, damn their eyes.

I don't think good donuts or fritters of any kind can be had at supermarkets.

[Jane]

But at least I'm coming out of this cold.  Once I reach the point of bitching about unsatisfactory apple fritters, I know I'm on the mend.

DR TCB, I, too, am not a fan of FALSETTOS, which I call AIDS FOR DUMMIES.  It's all too smug, too cute, and far too simplistic.  To me, "something bad is happening, something really bad is happening" is a kick in the face to the hundreds of AIDs victims I had as friends and colleagues. 

I know I'm in the minority, but I prefer an AIDS piece to be angry and honest, not cutesie-poo and gemütlich.

This really is not all that crazy considering how many years of your life it was the week to do so. 

[Jane]

I am not looking forward to the end of daylight savings and the end of my evening walks.

Poor Annabelle 😊

[elmore3003]

She's now developed the idea that she can jump into the kitchen sink and watch me work at the stove. Since I worry about her getting burned, I decided to turn on the cold faucet.  I figured if she got wet, it would terrify her from jumping onto the sink again.

Well, she jumped, she ran, and took a full cup of hot coffee with her.  I need to mop the floor now.

[elmore3003]

I have some work at my desk, so once I clean the litter box, vacuum, and mop the floor, I will attend to that.  I also need to being my review of The Crucible, which I listened to yesterday, and which I'll play again this afternoon.   At the moment, the Loesser work is in limbo because of my colleague Jason's commitments, so I very much need a job to provide some income for the next two months.

Please send some employment vibes.  I've got to keep Annabelle in baby shoes.

[KevinH]

Good morning from Amtrak's Train 153!

[KevinH]

Employment vibes for DR elmore!

DR TCB:  Regarding Falsettos, I don't remember that much about it except that I didn't really care for the characters. Maybe if I watch it on TV, I'll appreciate it more.

[KevinH]

Yesterday, I met former DR Ben and DH Anthony for an early lunch at the usual place, Good Stuff Diner.  I enjoyed seeing them again.

[KevinH]

After lunch I headed to the theatre district and decided to see "Time and the Conways." a play written by J.B. Priestley in 1937.  Elizabeth McGovern (AKA Lady Cora from Downton Abbey) starred.  This time she's British and I thought her accent was very good.  I really enjoyed the show and afterwards there was a "talk-back" with three members of the case (three actresses who played Elizabeth's daughters).     I had gotten a rush seat for only $39.  It was in the 5th row of the mezzanine and was a great seat for the money.

[KevinH]

Later I saw "The Portuguese Kid," starring Jason Alexander, Sherie Rene Scott and Mary Testa.  It's written by John Patrick Shanley, who wrote Moonstruck and other works.  While there were some laughs, I didn't really care for it.  I think Ms. Testa should have been given more to do.

[John G.]

They are forecasting SNOW for us today.

No.

Love me some J.B. Priestley.

DR JohnG, I have never read a novel by Mrs Gaskill.

I’ve only read Gaskell’s Cranford, which I enjoyed.

[Laura]

Oh dear.  I need to run some water over my face and clean my glasses.  I read that as Oxycontin: The Musical!

Some of the things I read without my glasses are ever so much more interesting than reality.

[Jane]

😄

I got lazy and skipped my walk this morning. There is a meal after church today, and I figure I'll get my 10,000 steps during the setup cleanup portion.

I need to get myself off the couch and over there to start. I am so lazy today.

I'm up, I'm up - six hours of sleep.
