Wednesday morning greetings! Just getting in under the wire...

We picked up this week's grocery order and are now home doing desk work and avoiding the humidity outside.

My boss is leaving us for a much better job. Great for her. Pity party for me.

She was excellent. She deserves it. I do not know what the future will bring. But the last interim period was a disaster. Not looking forward to any repeat of that nonsense.

Larry Kramer has died.

He was a nice man. I used to see him a lot in The Drama Book Shop. I liked his politics and I thought his play The Normal Heart the most important play of the AIDS crisis. The original production at the Public Theatre was stunning, heartbreaking, and brilliant.

Two years ago next week, the week she leaves. Seems like yesterday. She is leagues above the level she’s been working at, so she opened the door to things beyond us more than we had realized before.

I was at the Dollar Tree and WalMart this morning wearing my mask and gloves.

Bananas, green peppers, and potatoes at WalMart. Plenty of PT and TP there, but I didn't need any. I did get two cans of disinfectant spray.....and I got some Diet Pepsi in the can! That is as exciting as it sounds!

I also discovered that on January 25, 2015, the Washington Post Magazine had an article titled "The 50 Ft. Woman A Life in Pictures".....I of course bought it on EBAY.....

I hope it is not a rehash of my internet BIO as was published in this month's Classic Images....and that there are some nice photos I haven't seen.

Two years is NOTHING at my age! Vibes for finding a good replacement DR JOHN G.

John G. · « **Reply #45 on:** May 27, 2020, 12:07:41 PM »

Thank you, JRand.

Early on in her too-short tenure, Leah and I were talking, and Alan Jay Lerner came up in our conversation. She broke into Follow Me from Camelot. Another time, a short while later, she started to quote Sondheim, and I was able to finish the quote. Apparently she went to high school with Megan Mullaly, though they haven’t kept in touch. You don’t often find bosses like that in the tech world.

OMG I love summer. But it is 95F+ right now. We had this weather yesterday and today. And it is supposed to continue Thursday and Friday. But then it is going way down to around 60F.

I live for snow and ice! I'm already dreading the really hot weather. We're around 80F today and I'd be happier 10-15 degreescooler.

We walked in shorts & t-shirts this morning. It should be going up to 80.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #51 on:** May 27, 2020, 12:50:47 PM »

it is 77 degrees here right now, but low humidity....so it doesn't feel as hot as it did.....very cloudy as well so there is no blistering sun.

I like it cooler rather than warmer, and I like snow, but not ice!
