I phoned my cousin this morning. She and I are in different political parties, so I've always avoided discussing politics with her. That was fine until the last election. I avoided calling her for a while, knowing that she has some very strong views which I don't agree with. I thought, though, by now we were OK. I was telling her about the problems here at the apartment when I happened to use the word "Hispanic." OMG! My cousin went into a MEGA rant. I stopped her and simply said that she and I cannot discuss politics. She agreed. Then she said, "But you agree with <xyz>, don't you?" (No.) "That's politics." "That's not politics!" "Yes, it's politics." We were finally able to get out of this loop and discuss something else. It was really kind of funny. Talk about "hot button" issues!

I just spoke to my brother Randy.  The Macbeths are in an uproar.  The Real Housewives of Orange County is now running on Bravo and my dumbass niece Emily told viewers last week that she grew up poor with subsidies, not a word that her father was president of a company and her mother's family on both sides were two of Middletown's first families and loaded.

I guess everything's relative.

Continued vibes to BK, Larry, and all who need them.

TTFN.

Oh, my goodness!  I wonder if the producers talked her into giving that story.

[George]

A co-worker was on a "reality" show, High School Reunion, about 8 years ago and he said that the producers had them specifically create problems and issues that they wouldn't have actually done.  It seemed like it was more of a melodramatic improv sketch show based on the producers' ideas than any kind of show based on reality.

Larry -Is she playing herself or playing a character?

I miss when you didn't need to worry about a conversation becoming political when that was not the intended conversation.

This just shows you how fake Reality shows are.  Do you think they will call the show and inform them of the truth?

While this is funny since it is happening to the Macbeths I am sorry your niece seems to also be a bit off.

I did not think of that.

Herself.

I enjoyed the videos today.

I have no idea how her mother's family is taking it.  She told an interviewer it was just her sister and single mom - I bet Macbeth liked that! - on a farm, playing in the barn, no friends.  Her mother was working for a bank and raising and selling horses, Andalusians, I think, and involved with too many lousy boyfriends.

[Jane]

Are you watching her?

I've never seen this show. But after I saw this post I went to Slice (Canadian channel that airs The Real Housewives) to look at Emily's bio. Right under it was this week's show. They put each Housewife's name up every time she has a segment. So I watched a few minutes of her part of the show. OMG!  She is at a fancy anniversary dinner with her husband Shane. And they are arguing because she wants to have another baby and he doesn't. She said that she is an attorney and that he comes from money. And I think that she said that her parents were divorced.

Had a fun rehearsal with Kay, then lunched with the stage manager of the Sherman show to thank him for his great work.  But Jerry's may be done for me - we each had a grilled cheese sandwich - for his side that comes with it he had fries and I had the little Caesar.  We each had a Diet Coke.  Total cost with tip?  $48.  I mean that is obscene and I'm done.

[bk]

Got news of a major miracle heading this way shortly, so that was very good news.

[bk]

Then I wrote the first half of the commentary, made the little bit of pasta and ground beef that was left to fill out my food needs for the day.

[bk]

Listening to music since then.  Right now it's a fun album with Mel Torme and Margaret Whiting singing songs from Broadway's 1960 season - so we get Wildcat, Do Re Mi, Camelot, and Irma la Douce.  Great charts by Russell Garcia in faboo stereo.

[bk]

Somehow a damn fly got in the house.  It's only flown by me about four times and I haven't been quick enough to end its sorry little life.  But when it's not flying by I cannot figure out where the damn thing's gone.

[bk]

Page three?  Really?

[bk]

Guess I'll upload more videos now.

Oh, my! I can't imagine that much for such a small meal...unless it was a whole plate-sized grilled cheese sandwich.

That's great!

Cool!  Can't wait!

[George]

But I must.  I'm off to my sister's to move a couch from her backyard (yes, it's been outside for quite a while) to the front.  She's getting it reupholstered and the movers are coming tomorrow, so it needs to be ready before the morning.

Be back later.

[George]

But before I go...
