The three cats and I had a pile up on my bed for about an hour. As soon as I got up to deal with online banking, Stella moved to the Amazon carton and Thatch headed off to the litter box. Annabelle has taken over grandma's quilt.

DR Jennifer thanks for the details. Have you picked up books yet? I imagine your frustration as recommending books normally puts you at the top of the queue for them.

Yes I have picked up books.

I don't think that I explained the other part right. I can still recommend books and go to the top of the queue. I just can't reserve anything online.

Although my library has not gotten any new books since March. So i have no idea what has happened to all of the new releases since then.

I was checking out all the Gian Carlo Menotti Archive posts of his work on youtube, and it's an amazing collection. That led me to NBC Opera, and it's a pity that kinescopes of so many are now lost. One of the lucky ones is the 1952 broadcast of Benjamin Britten's great Billy Budd, starring my late friend Theodore Uppman, who created the role.

I do not feel like working today.

I went ahead and did my lawn trimming in anticipation of lawn mowing by my sister and brother in law - maybe tomorrow. After tomorrow we have many days forecast with temps in the 90's.....

I looked through those Menotti works, and it’s wonderful, but I reacted in much the same way. Someone had made reference to a telecast of The Saint of Bleecker Street that isn’t represented there, and I’ve wanted the second Amahl (1964?) forever. (Although I’m thinking I’ve heard there is a bootleg floating around out there.)

Anyway, I’ve bookmarked the page to thoroughly check out later.

Sure, give the President a reason to send troops to Seattle.

Who are these violent protesters sabotaging the peaceful protesters

I made a Cajun chicken salad for lunch today. Nothing wrong with it, but the spice seemed to fight the rest of the salad. Seemed out of place. I might make the same salad without the spice: chicken, celery, onion, parsley, pecans, mayo, salt.

I'm up, I'm up - I was up at nine, went back to bed, and eventually fell asleep - so eight hours all told.

Just heard from one of our guests. Our esteemed musical director left an entire verse out of her track - not the first time he's done this. His mom was in the hospital (in rehab now) so he really was not all "there" during any of this, and of course he won't be back until five or six to fix his mistake - she's in NY and we have to get her done because she's leaving town.

It's a pain because I would prefer to do everything myself. But the part I really don't like is that I cannot reserve any books that someone else has taken out. Although I wonder if they would agree to override that manually if I called.

Tears of joy were shed today when we found out our upstairs dog does not have cancer.

He is also feeling better today. For the first time in two weeks he barked and got excited to see up instead of walking up slowly and looking sad.
