Facebook has been screwed up for two days now. I've got five dogs on the euthanasia list and nothing can be done to promote their rescue, since FB is fucked up royally.

I had the window open yesterday since it was 71 degrees....DR JOHN G - Birdy Barnum loved sitting on the perch at the top of his cage and feeling the warmth and seeing and hearing the birds outside....today it is a bit cool but he is insistent that the window be opened NOW!

Wind is too cool....but now and then I open it for a few minutes....he is pacing on his perch nearest to me giving me hell about it.

Good morning from Las Vegas!

I arrived yesterday. Last night I saw the Cirque du Soleil show "Love," which features the music of the Beatles. It was my first Cirque show and I liked it a lot. There was so much going on it was easy to miss something. Some of it is silly, but overall very good. The acrobatics are incredible. And of course it's always great to hear those Beatles recordings.

My friend Todd is arriving today. We're seeing Terry Fator tonight. He's the ventriloquist who won America's Got Talent some years ago. I've heard he's great so am looking forward to seeing him.

Gee, I hope that George is okay.

I'm fine. My mom asked me to order a Jitterbug Smart2 Smartphone, and it arrived on Tuesday. I was trying to set it up last nighf, but there were some problems, so it took longer than I expected. I finally got through most of the set-up, but something else went wrong and I'll need to call during their open hours, which are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., central time.

I like it.

We just left Ashland after a very enjoyable breakfast with friends.

Our trunk is a little fuller for the trip home. We found a few items in the shops that we needed and hadn't found to purchase near us. Shopping is easier when all you need to do is go for a short walk in a small town.

My alarm did not ring this morning at 6:30. Or I slept through it. Little Thatch became so frustrated that he woke me by leaping onto the bed, onto me, and then up to the shelf above me, chattering furiously all the way. Then he jumped down and sat in the window, pissing and moaning to the pigeons on the fire escape. I thought it seemed awfully bright outside, so I checked the clockL 7:30! No wonder he was fit to be tied.

DR TCB I hope you are feeling well enough to have lunch with Sharry.

I fell asleep last night, woke up at 1:30 then a miracle happened. I fell back to sleep until 6:30.

Congratulations, Jane. I’m still adjusting to Daylight Saving Time. I woke up at 1:30 also and managed to get back to sleep.

I had a strange dream last night that was partly a TV thriller and partly real. It's vague now, but I was part of a team on Skull Island, which was a shelf of rock that Druids or some early group had hollowed into the shape of a skull, with its eye sockets looking out of the water. The interior of this skull's dome had some power for collecting evil natures of humanity, and it was something like a museum-mall: one area was Nazi, one was Salem witch trials, etc.

The team part of this dream dealt with a young boy and a bomb. Inside this museum-mall was a pit, one side of which was dinosaurs relics and the other side was early weapons and instruments of torture. I had climbed down to the bottom and could not get out. The team had to rescue me and help me climb out. Then we were all assembling in the Salem area and I could see the ghost of a hanged woman. That's when I woke.

Yikes!

That's a very evocative dream, Larry!

AARRGGHH!! I was thinking about actually bringing in a pie to work, but I didn't.

Oh, well.

I guess I just need to have pie at lunch!
