I'm up again - four more hours of sleep, so six altogether. I was more awake after two, frankly.

My phone hasn't rung all day and I got two calls at once. The important one I was on was about unemployment payments for the self-employed, which I need to plug into. The call I really wanted to take was from a dear friend I've not seen in years, so I need to call him back.

Here is the right YouTube link for tonight - at least this link worked fine last night: https://www.youtube.com/user/haineshisway

Yes, 8:00 pacific daylight, 11:00 eastern daylight. Is that now worded correctly?

I called my friend back and we had a nice conversation. I haven't seen him in years. He and his wife Sue, who dated actor John Davidson when they were college students at Oberlin, were two of my very dearest friends in the early 1970s. Sue fought a long and hard battle with cancer, and after her death in 2016, we lost touch.

Charlie must be 77 or 78 now, living in Albuquergue with his two sons and their families. His daughter Jennifer, for whom I occasionally babysat and who was the first diaper I ever changed, lives in Woodstock.

Watching The Muppets Take Manhattan. One of the people stars is Elmore's favorite director, Lonny Price. It's not my favorite Muppet movie. But it was mentally about where I'm at today.

11 p.m. tonight......I hope I am still awake.

DR VIXMOM you probably know this already......but if you put your stuffed peppers in a muffin tin they won't fall over as they bake.

Lonny Price is a wonderful actor and I wish he'd go back to it and stop being a second rate director. He and Jason Alexander were the best things in the original production of Merrily We Roll Along. His "Franklin Shepard Inc." was amazing.

Had a fun Zoom chat with Cheryl, Paula, and MaryEllen. We were all greater Cincinnati library administrators in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s, representing the University of Cincinnati, Xavier University, Northern Kentucky University, and Miami University. Everyone’s healthy and coping pretty well.

I baked chicken breasts with button mushrooms for dinner and it came out quite nicely.

I discovered yesterday that back in my profligate spending days I had purchased a Rock Hudson-Doris Day package of three movies, so tonight we will watch Pillow Talk, which I have never seen.

I’m surprised I didn’t dream about Jack in the Box. But now with today’s further mention of it, I probably will tonight.

Because ladies and germs, for the first time in years I am DYING for Jack in the Box.

I can’t feel that for Jack, which is just around the corner, but White Castle ... now there’s another story ... Sliders!

I've never been to White Castle (none anywhere near Washington state) but I've gotten their frozen sliders from the store. They're not bad, but not fabulous. I can only imagine what they would taste like when purchased fresh from the restaurant.

You may recall I mentioned a friend of a friend who had been treated at Cedars Sinai with a new drug and immediately improved. I have been following news on the drug. The latest news continues to be encouraging and fits when I have seen it worked & didn't work.

Gilead says remdesivir shows improvement in COVID-19 patients when used early.

That's pretty cool! Hopefully, it proves successful!

In the dream I went to someones beach house, located on one of the barrier islands south of Long Island.

they didn’t answer the door. It was night and the lights were on so I went around back to see if they were in the yard.

The sliding glass door was open so I went in, I saw a knife on the floor so I picked it up and put it on the kitchen counter calling the persons name ( I have no idea who it was now)

I rounded a corner and found them dead, apparently stabbed to death.

I grabbed them and tried to resuscitate them , covering myself in blood

Then I heard police cars coming, panicked and ran out and hid in the bushes

Oh, my goodness!

DR ELMORE Pillow Talk as discussed here last week is a very funny film....and many films followed its lead - but it was the first.....and Doris and Rock are dynamite!

Akhnaten has finished.

But there's still another half hour to the broadcast. They're now doing a "Backstage at Akhnaten" segment.

DR VIXMOM - the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dream indicates that you are conflicted about working when others are not - but it is so embedded in your DNA that you cannot imagine NOT working.

You want to be helpful to others who sometimes do NOT want or appreciate your help and sometimes you wonder if it is worth the effort.

Yes, it is. What they think or say is sometimes the opposite of what you feel.

You are not hurting anyone else by living your life as you wish - so you should NOT change what you are doing. You can ignore the warning signs from Chicken Little - but be sure that you recognize the true origin of any such warnings this week.
