Yes DR ELMORE - your cards let us know that someone in charge needs to clear an obstacle in the way - and this obstacle might even be another person.  And it may be that ONLY ONE PERSON needs to be in charge.

Someone or something is blocking things.....I'll burn a white candle to get rid of it....or at least help in identifying it.

They had a screw-up the week before last, wherein some people (yrs truly, for example) didn't get taxes withheld. That was fixed this past week.

I received my NY State PUA, but not the Federal Govt. PUA.  According to pone of the FB PUA sites, the problem was a computer glitch and should arrive tomorrow.

Stella has abandoned the bathroom sink to sleep in the broken silverware drawer.  Thatch is fascinated by the whole thing - i saw him checking out the broken chest of drawers earlier - but he hasn't risked scaling the fortress to the silverware drawer.

Inculcate is my favorite Cole Porter musical:

So, inculcate
And twice and thrice
Ere we start
Living in paradise.

The Husband Hunters is about the real-life buccaneers, as Edith Wharton called them, who couldn’t buy their way into the 400, so they married into British nobility.

In the beginning, we learn about the rules of the 400. If you are invited to a ball and cannot make it because you have died, your executor must go in your place. Duly noted.

Is this the Anne de Courcy book?  It sounds very interesting.

Cornelia Otis Skinner's Elegant Wits and Grand Horizontals is one of my favorite social histories, and I recommend it highly.

Yes. And I’m getting a kick out of it. Having some factual background of the era makes Wharton that much more enjoyable.

I think you'll like it.  She's a wonderful writer.  I loved her biography of Sarah Bernhardt, Madame Sarah, as well as Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, which she co-wrote with Emily Kimbrough.  It's been an open secret for years that Arsenic and Old Lace had a major overhaul and rewrite by Lindsay and Crouse before they produced it on Broadway.  I think Cornelia Otis Skinner officially confirmed it in her book Life with Lindsay and Crouse, ehich os really fun.

So, it’s being reported that the virus has spread to 24 times the number of people who’ve  tested positive with it. Yikes.
