It's really pouring rain here.

I remember those days.

(And where but L.A. would one say such a thing about? )

What's interesting (to me) is that a few of them, in my seventeen years there, stand out -- the rain, and what I was doing, created a few indelible memories.

I loved interior Guatemala. The capital city not so much.

The Rotterdam is a very nice ship.

We’re due for rain starting tonight and then turning into thunderstorms. Strange but it is supposed to get up to 80 in a few days.

It is smaller than a lot of the ships I have been on before.

It is rather warm out on deck.

TCB · « **Reply #68 on:** January 31, 2019, 01:29:21 PM »

It is in the 80’s and rather humid.

The native goods I am interested in are usually not for sale.

The taxes have gone smoothly the last two days because it's so chilly in the apartment that Annabelle has preferred to stay in her washtub in the bathroom. Things went to hell for two reasons:
1. I lowered my guard
2. After their dinner, she and Thatch were feeling frisky and romping all over the apartment.

I had just tallied up my film and theatre tickets and reached for an envelope to hold them when Annabelle leaped onto my worktable from the windowsill, knocking over a pile of envelopes and all of How to Succeed . . ., all of which slid onto my tax receipts and knocked over my table lamp. Then, to add insult to injury, she climbed onto my desk calculator and erased the total amount for the tickets before I could record it. Thirty minutes later I calmed down.

That’s all good in a cat’s world, Elmore.

I picked up a package, then went to a jernt called the Green Apple China Bistro in the City of Studio - mere moments from the old house, and yet I'd never tried it. I had orange chicken and egg rolls. The egg rolls were okay. The orange chicken took a few minutes to get used to, but in the end I rather liked it.

The Studio City Gap, which has been there for two decades, is done - building is empty.

And - drum roll, please - when we got home I administered Richard's LAST eye drops! He’s been a great patient.

Great news, Ginny!

I knowit’s not Elmore’s favorite show, but i found some of this material on Merrily We Roll Along fascinating

That's pretty cool, John. Thanks for sharing the link.

Oh, no! I hope you gave her a stern talking to...or at least a stern looking at.

One guy actually reached out and grabbed my shoulder. I almost decked him, but thought better of it.

Yup, gotta be careful.

I found a couple of trinkets, plus there was a jade exchange where I found a pair of inexpensive jade earrings for Tracy.

Nice.

I was messaging with a friend earlier today who said there was an amazing thunder & lightening storm.

I have been wondering all week why my HMO check hasn't cleared. Today I discovered that I had never mailed it.
