DR TCB - on a local Theatre facebook page a lot of folks are really taking a director to task for continuing to rehearse a production of MAMMA MIA! for July presentation.

He keeps posting photos of folks standing apart with masks on and talking about choreography via computer, etc.....

Hardly a word about the audience......

We cancelled our season, and although I read the page, I don't ever post there because it is a hotbed of egos.....it is an interesting barometer of the local theatre community.....

MR BK's story about The Browning Version reminded me of the [perhaps apocryphal] story of Noel Coward standing with a friend near a movie theatre in London. The theatre marquee advertised Michael Redgrave and Dirk Bogarde in "The Sea Shall Not Have Them" and Sir Noel said dryly: "Well, everyone else has....."

I find the book 1984 and the John Hurt film version to be very perverse, black comedies, at least I did back in the 1980s. I haven’t seen the original film. Wonder if I would laugh through that, too?

Can you get samples? I know home depot used to do small samples that you can take home and try out on the wall in real life. Don't know if they still do. I'm sure other places do that too

I already suggest that but he seems to have ignored me

Actually I suggested painting samples on boards. I have found it very useful. Inside I have painted large strips on the wall.

Our AC went out last night. It is only going to be 107 here today, so I guess it could be worse. Like 120. We've had this AC unit for about 20 years, so we knew it was bound to happen. We were just hoping it would be in October.

Do you have any fans or can you borrow some?

Drink lots of water.

Watching an oldie called The Satan Bug with the bad guys threatening to let loose a killer virus that would wipe out the population. They don't seem too worried about what it will do to them. Cast includes George Maharis, Anne Francis and Dana Andrews as well as a very young Ed Asner.

When we painted shutters on our brick home the painters used the back of the shutters for samples. As neighbors walked by the commented on the favorite color. It was fun talking with them.

Keith had vetoed my favorite color and we never used a sample of it. When we weren't in love with any of the samples I told them to paint the color we didn't try. Sneaky me as Keith was traveling for work. Fortunately he agreed with me, as did the neighbors.

The food delivery today was especially strange: cans pf white kidney beans and garbanzo beans, two sweet potatoes, a lot of carrots, a can of tuna, a small container of oatmeal, a bag of rice, a bag of lentils, a bag of pasta, a packet of dried milk, and three oranges.

Thatch and I have been lying down and listening to music by Robert Farnon, an interesting and colorful orchestrator, good composer and arranger, but he sometimes writes the most incomprehensible endings to his arrrangements.

Starting a Fritz Lang noir called House by the River. Looks very promising. And I'm liking the George Antheil score.

Father's Day greetings! Today some parishioners in Beavercreek met in person at the church and Fr. Richard Zoomed in and was seen on a big screen. All the hymn-singing was at the beginning and end and they went outside to do it. For those of us who were attending via Zoom, it was not nearly as satisfying as when everyone is online. And I can't help but think it was a little weird in person. And who knows how safe?

But it's a dry heat, right, DR Laura?

Seriously, I hope you're able to get it fixed soon!

My new power strip arrived, and I spent 30 minutes on the floor untangling cords from the modem, the printer, the answering machine, phone, and computer lamp. Everything is now running, and I can actually see the keyboard for the first time since the old power strip died on Friday. I'm quite content at the moment, and really relieved I could get myself out of a prone position on the floor without a derrick.

I love my surgeon Dr Glickman. I'm having an issue, and I left a message this morning, and he returned my call. I will see him tomorrow at 9:30.
