I might watch the Met’s Traviata tonight.

It’s Wozzeck on Thursday, for sure.

On Sunday, a Teresa Stratas Boheme will be tempting.

I have tickets for Hamilton in October. I really really hope it is canceled, because there's no way I am going into a huge theater any time soon. I hate to lose that money.

My friend Margo and I just got tickets for the Hamilton tour, but it's not coming to Seattle until May 2021, so hopefully, it'll all be good by then. $:-\$

I hope so, fear not but hope so.

I got my copy in a curious way. I checked the book out of my public library several times when I was in high school and it was first published. About twenty years ago, when I was visiting family and friends in Ohio, I checked the library shelf, and I was surprised to find it still on the shelf. I had been the last person to check the book out around 1966! No one had looked at the book in over 30 years, so I asked my late friend Alan Freeman if he would get the book, report it lost, and I would pay all the fees. Not long after that the book arrived in Manhattan. When I tried to reimburse Alan, he wouldn't take my money.

I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear this

Our refrigerator is on the blink. We called yesterday; the repairman came today. He doesn't have the part, so he will be back on Thursday to fix it.

Oh no.

The freezer is cold, so at least the frozen meat will be ok. The refrigerator part doesn't get cold.

That's a relief. Can you eat the rest fast enough

When I was going to Western Washington University, the public library had signs saying that doing this was actually a misdemeanor.

MR BK - I sent the Kritzerland link for the purchase of My World..... to my friend Stephanie Allen to order for her daughter Emery.

They loved the video of Sami singing "Annie" - so if you could autograph it to her with a couple of words, she would be thrilled, I'm sure.....I'm not sure when/if she'll order it, but I would guess soon.....

Just had the best food in ages from Daughter's Deli - took an extra hour to arrive but worth it. The potato pancakes were small, unlike Langer's, but there were three so it was like eating one regular Langer's potato pancake. They were great. But it was the sandwich - basically it was the pastrami with cole slaw and Russian dressing but with turkey instead and a slice of Swiss cheese. It was phenomenal.

And I just ate and am stuffed. Couldn’t eat a bite.

I wouldn't know about that ')

We do have a photo of when Craig was front and center in the local paper. He was 2 or 3 and the teacher was reading to his class. Keith found it recently and framed it.

Is this a new deli? I am glad you enjoyed your meal.
