Well, you've read the notes, the notes were dry and ran, and now it is time for you to post until the dry cows come running home.

Good morning, all!

I watched 2/3 of "Man In An Orange shirt" last night. 30 minutes into the story, I got a phone call abut my friend Loyce from her ex-husband. When the call ended, we were into the 2nd half of the story.

Another hot day. I need to walk to a mail box and that's my only anticipated trip outside.

Supposed to be 83 here today as opposed to 95 or whatever it got to yesterday, and the rain freshened things up pretty well. Tonight we get nice sleeping weather back, which is good.

I'm paying more attention to this than usual, for one lovely simple reason. Our central AC is giving up the ghost and will need to be replaced soon. It's the original unit from when the house was built 24 years ago, so it had a good run -- especially when I'm told the average expected life span of those things is 15 years.

On today's patrol, Annabelle met the new neighbor in Apt. 2D. She has a 5 year-old cat.

Little Thatch is being awfully clingy this morning. He must want his deli turkey treat.

JohnG, interesting about the misspelling of Jan Horvath's name. I wonder if it got fixed for later versions.

DR TCB I am not sure that I want to go to a restaurant with the word WIND in its name.

I was the ONLY cast member from THE MOUSETRAP who did NOT use his book last night. And I only called for line once....my SECOND line....

It's a pretty good play - I haven't yet figured out who the good actors are and who the bad ones are....well....I know a couple of the bad ones.....

I do enjoy the accents though, it's a Cook's Tour of the British Empire! Sometimes all at once and sometimes from the same actor.

I saw HALF-TIME at Paper Mill the other day, which I really liked so much, possibly even more because of its themes and because I always love Nell Benjamin's work since LEGALLY BLONDE. Even her lyrics for the MEAN GIRLS songs, which some critics say don't work as well as the book in that show, but as songs, they sound fine to me (tickets are just too hard to get right now, and therefore getting hiked up by the new Broadway "airline-style pricing" - so I think I'll wait until MEAN GIRLS demand dies down to see it). But an unusual stage door thing happened. Donna McKechnie, who is open about being 75, had a cute golf cart type vehicle waiting for her between shows to take her (I guess to the local restaurant) before the 7 pm show, so she can rest a bit, and when she stepped out of the stage door, she first told the waiting fans that she was going to take a seat, but then proceeded once seated to talk to everyone for as long as everyone wanted. (There was a bench there for the fans while waiting, so why not for the performer while saying hi to the fans?) It seemed having a place to sit made the interaction at the stage door a breeze for her, and i guess at 75 she needs no excuses for wanting to sit between two dance-heavy performances in one day, since she really seemed to be having a lovely time (or made everyone feel like she was).

Jrand - I wonder if the actors having a seat while they interact at the stage door is something that could catch on to the more regional scene? "FDR" in ANNIE might have been an ideal role to keep the idea going.

I'd never seen it happen before, though.

TOD:
Sourdough bread
Sourdough rolls
Rye
French
bagels
I really don't like wheat bread or pumpernickel.

Of late, I've been making my own sourdough, which is a huge effort because you have to use something called a "starter" which is essentially a bowl full of fermented batter. And you have to keep adding fresh water and flour to it every week, which is called "feeding". It's essentially my new pet, except I don't have to potty train it, and it doesn't cuddle. It's taken me a year of perfecting the recipe to get my bread to come out soft and fluffy, but it still doesn't taste all that flavorful. This week, I'm going to add a half teaspoon extra salt and two tablespoons of brown sugar and see if that helps.

I made some bread the other day to go with the gazpacho I made from our produce box. I used Kerry's Kitchen Aid mixer.
