DR JohnG, those churches are beautiful, and now I am very curious about painted churches.

Agree. I’d never heard of this.

The temperature is going up to the 60s today after a chilly, rainy yesterday.  I will make a deli turkey trip for Thatch. 

[elmore3003]

Thatch has now discovered that he can get between the bed spread and the quilt hanging over the side of my bed, so he's been climbing onto my bed under the bed spread, thinking he's invisible to one and all.  Then Annabelle jumps onto the bed and attacks the big moving lump.

[elmore3003]

Annabelle wants to patrol.  Back later.

TOD

A favorite subject, but how many favorites among them can I name off the top of my head at this time of morning? Let’s see...

Lawrence of Arabia
Cleopatra
2001: A Space Odyssey
Ben-Hur
Patton
West Side Story
The King and I
South Pacific
My Fair Lady
The Sound of Music
Mad World (huge sentimental reasons involved)
PlayTime

Annabelle liked today's patrol.  She saw several sparrows, a couple of pigeons, and a dog.

I had two curious dreams last night.  One was a long one about the 1986 production of Jubilee, only Rob Berman was conducting instead of Greg Dlugos.  My date for the opening was a friend of DR Ginny's and mine, Snooky Barton, and the cast party was huge, lasting all night, with a huge breakfast.

The second is much more vague, something about being in a class - high school or college? I don't know - in Room 11.

Of course, at age 10 Rossano Brazzi looked to me like somebody’s great grandfather.

[Jane]

Going to a Bat Mitzvah today.

 

Have a nice time.

[Jane]

Not at all.  I am saying that being a kid, I couldn’t understand the age difference.  Now I do.

He was only 42 at the time.

[Jane]

I think a lot of us probably couldn't understand that when we were much younger.  I know I couldn't.

I notice it more when the older person gets really old and physically slow while the younger one still has lots of energy.  Of course that also happens to couples that are the same age.

[Jane]

Hope the chili tastes as good as it smells

I hope you win this time.

[Jane]

How is your finger holding up?

I'm up, I'm up - six-and-a-half hours of sleep.

[John G.]

Good morning, all.

[John G.]

Four minutes more to say that.

[John G.]

I got 10 hours of sleep.

[John G.]

It was wonderful.

[John G.]

Went out and looked at the olive tree. It’s covered. If tge bees cooperate ...

[John G.]

Then picked a huge bowl of loquats in about 20 minutes. The tree remains covered.

[Laura]

Good morning.

[Laura]

John, olive trees are very allergenic. I hope you don't suffer from it. They have banned the sale of olive trees here because they caused so much allergy trouble.

Also, the olives need to be highly processed to be edible, don't they? No one eats them here.

[elmore3003]

It's quite pleasant out.  I got to the pharmacy for some Musinex.  I hope it will clear up this sinus issue.  If not I will see my doctor because it might be sinusitis or an allergy to the cats.  I can't believe that since I;ve had no problem for over a year, and if it is, I'll suffer for the rest of my life because A & T are never leaving me.

You need to brine them. There is a multistep process to it. But I'm looking forward to it. I also like a tea made from the olive leaves.

As for the allergies, I don't know if I'm allergic or not. I'm allergic to everything else in nature, so why not? The three oak trees up front are in full pollen and it hasn't killed me yet. Though it's working hard at it.

I hope it's not the cats. But you've got the right attitude on that. I've been told I may be allergic to the bird. The decongestant helps with that and everything else.

[elmore3003]

When I left the pharmacy, I ran into a lady with an adorable 4-year-old, 25 lb., black and white bulldog. We had a nice chat and she told me she found him at a West Village pet store.  I behaved and did not go into my puppy mill rant, but I sure wanted to take that little doggie home with me.

[George]

Saturday!

Congrats to DR GEORGE on his millstone.

Thanks, Jrand!

[George]

Well, I'm finally up and need to feed Neve.  She's crawling on me and it's getting annoying.

[George]

I'll eventually head out to my parents' house, but in the meantime, let's turn the page...
