I have alerted the media about the cover issues. He'll fix tonight, I'm sure.

Jane, most (if not all) e-readers like the Kindle can access the internet. You can't add apps like the Kindle Fire (it's more of a tablet with the shiny screen) or other tablets, but you can order books through the Kindles.

Can I download the books with ePub on Overdrive?

It sounds like I would not have Goodreads or Facebook but might get HHW.

The Washington Post has just picked up the story of the shootout at the Walmart in Tumwater. Scary, scary story.

Finishing up Twelfth Night. I just love this play.

I have basically started teaching a new couple at Joy's Monday night classes. It's interesting. I've never taught before. So, I have to choose my words carefully to make sure they both understand, and then watch them do it. I often have to dance both parts shifting from leader to follower depending on which one needs help.

And I have to remember they both learn differently. He's a school teacher and likes practical things like angles, while she's more into the idea of what the step is supposed to accomplish.

Where is everyone this evening?

John G. · « **Reply #69 on:** August 12, 2019, 07:21:43 PM »

Are they having fun without me?

I know where ChasSmith is.

Had a lovely Restaurant Week lunch today. A chopped salad with heirloom tomatoes followed by a burger with Parmesan fries.

Hello, everyone.

TCB, I am so sorry to hear about the recent incident with the U-Haul truck. How frightening. I'm glad neither you nor your car were hurt.

TOD:
I hear the word "cover" used as BK used it often these days. But there was a time when I usually heard it referred to as a rendition: "Here's Nat King Cole doing a rendition from..."
Was it always used this way and I just wasn't aware of it?

Weird. It was last year's story. But for some reason it's trending on the Washington Post tonight.

Nor did I.

Ah.

The shootings put Walmart in a very tricky position. Yes, they sell guns, but other gun sellers aren't being targeted. They are simply a well-known retailer where lots of people gather. I haven't heard anything about additional security at their stores, but I'd sure be thinking about it if I worked there.

Good night.

Just read that Jim Cullum died. He was a legend here in San Antonio. His playing is something that will stay with me. But my favorite memory is of him at a restaurant where he was playing. He stopped at a table to talk with the two couples there. Their food arrived and he joined them in saying grace before they started their dinner.

From TCB last night:

I tried your solution for cleaning my lenses, but the moment I put the toothpaste in my eyes, it stung so bad I had to rinse it out immediately.

But Tom, you had cataract surgery already! Your lenses shouldn't be cloudy!

Jeanne · « **Reply #83 on:** August 12, 2019, 08:29:29 PM »

Sorry to hear about John Cullum.

John G. · « **Reply #84 on:** August 12, 2019, 08:30:01 PM »

I spoke with him a couple of times, but I'm more friends with his son, Chris, who has run a few restaurants, bars and a burger truck in the area.

Jim, not John. John is the actor with the magnificent voice. Jim was a trumpet player whose show from the River Walk aired on NPR for decades.

I wasn't sure how it'd land in print.

Anyway, I need to stop reading. The news is a little too bad.
