Four!

Every time I got into a project that was due today, someone submitted something that was due sooner. That happened five times today.

But I managed to get it all done and had a couple of promising meetings.

Then I did something new this evening that was truly odd. I was a hired dancer for a seniors party. For three hours tonight, I went around and asked elderly people to dance to a big band that was playing everything from Perfidia to Just in Time.

And I had fun.

Now I'm home unwinding with the first episode of season two of Riverdale.

TOD:

I was 4 in the summer of 1967. So, I guess I was learning to read.

Jane, I started Ivanhoe three times and never got into it. One of these days, maybe.

John, when you were at the seniors party, were pole dancing and stripping?

Dear reader Jane, the notes are easily searchable - but not from here - at the bottom of every notes is a search bar - that's where you search: Search BK's Notes Archive. I just did: http://www.haineshisway.com/2019/01/people-come-people-go-like-grand-hotel-in-japanese/

Good evening.

Back home and exhausted. I am SO glad I have nothing tomorrow.

DR Ginny, congrats to both you and the new homeowners. What a surprise! And I know exactly where Voice of America Park is.

There were plenty of walkers and canes.

I spoke with Carol today for a few minutes. She was tired, But she was a little better. She told the folks at the hospital that she would not go to a rehab center. She would rather go home, and I think they agreed with her. She did have physical therapy today, which was likely good albeit incredibly painful.

Summer of 1967 was my summer between high school and college. I believe I mostly spent it at home in Fort Lauderdale prior to the family road trip to take me to school in Cleveland. I do have very sweet memories of fun had that summer with my best high school friends, and it was all innocent of anything related to the actual Summer of Love. Whatever was going on then was going right over my head.

My “Rosebud” of that summer would be my best friend’s MG TD which to this day ranks as one of my favorite cars ever.

This production of A Chorus Line looks and sounds damned good over the monitors in the remote pit, and I’m sorry that that’s all I’m going to be able to see of it.

Tomorrow is Dad's procedure. Mom says she has all the paperwork under control. But she was a bit confused about the medication he can and can't take beforehand.

John G. · « **Reply #110 on:** March 28, 2019, 08:52:05 PM »

Tomorrow is also my friend Pam's 65th birthday. We're going out to celebrate at one of my favorite restaurants. It was her choice. I'm just going along to stuff myself.

I need some sleep.

Very nice house DR GINNY!

Thanks, DR JRand! It’s going to be even nicer before they move in because they’re redoing all the floors downstairs - new carpet in the living room and bedrooms, woodgrain laminate in kitchen, dining room, and hall.

Very nice. It sounds like you get to keep them a little longer.

I suspect some small cruise ships give free or discounted cruises to men willing to dance every evening.

At this point I suggest watching the movie instead

I barely read today since I didn't go to the gym. I usually read while using the treadmill. Instead I stayed home and did laundry. My plan was to make a recipe of Bryan's I have been craving, a Mexican bean salad. I had all of the ingredients out and began with the dressing first. I measured out the olive oil. Instead of pucking up the red wine vinegar in front of me I opened a bottle of balsamic vinegar and measured and poured it into the oluve oil.

I have been intending to make a balsamic vinegar dressing and my brain went there. I made a dressing of equal parts oil and vinegar.

Jane · « **Reply #118 on:** March 28, 2019, 11:00:02 PM »

Does anyone have a good balsamic dressing recipe?

Thanks for finding this for me. I will show it to Keith tomorrow. Clueless about the little details that bothered you we enjoyed it very much. Of course we thought the actors were great.

We found a lot of joy in the story.
