Delta has announced a weird policy for those who refuse to wear masks. You have to undergo a private evaluation before you're allowed to board. If you fail, you're out.

I finished up Terry McMillan's new book, It's Not All Downhill from Here. Interesting, but not great read. What I did like is that she makes it helpful for readers to learn more about things that might affect them in later life. The main character is diagnosed with diabetes, and there's a lot of information about what that means, how to take it seriously and what it means if you don't. If it helps anybody, then all the better for it.

Sounds kind of interesting. I just placed a hold on this book. There's a waiting list, though.

Very interesting.

I interviewed Terry McMillan back when her first book, Mama, came out. She was coming to Catskill to do a reading.

John G. · « **Reply #96 on:** July 18, 2020, 09:46:06 PM »

I was on vacation, so I missed her. So did everyone else. No one attended.

John G. · « **Reply #97 on:** July 18, 2020, 09:48:07 PM »

I interviewed her again when A Day Late and a Dollar Short came out. We had a fun talk over the phone. When we met, she couldn't believe I was a white boy. She was also surprised I had a pristine copy of Mama from way back when, which she autographed for me.

There was a special printing of the first paragraph from A Day Late ... on a lovely piece of poster board to commemorate her appearance. I have a framed, signed copy of that in my living room.

And on that note, I'm going to bed.

Good night, all.

Since I haven't shaved in a few months, I am told I resemble that last remark.

I should probably read it cuz I have been eating too much candy lately.

I have not read any of her books.

Page four? Really?

Listening to the Mahler sixth in a performance I hadn't heard by Leinsdorf RCA Living Stereo - it's pretty great.

I received my ballot in the mail today for the August primary.

TCB · « **Reply #112 on:** July 18, 2020, 11:16:08 PM »

We are a 100% mail-in State.

TCB · « **Reply #113 on:** July 18, 2020, 11:17:35 PM »

There are 40 names on the ballot for the job of governor!

TCB · « **Reply #114 on:** July 18, 2020, 11:18:52 PM »

I don’t believe I have ever seen more than 8 names on the ballot.

TCB · « **Reply #115 on:** July 18, 2020, 11:19:59 PM »

40 candidates!!

TCB · « **Reply #116 on:** July 18, 2020, 11:21:37 PM »

If I had known, I would have thrown my name into the fire.

TCB · « **Reply #117 on:** July 18, 2020, 11:23:32 PM »

If I voted for me and my sister voted for me, I would probably have gotten more votes than half of these yo-yos will get.
