Jeanne, I'm halfway through Megan Rapinoe's One Life. It's good and not great at the same time. It's good in that the discussion about being out in American sports still needs to be had. But it could be better for the same reason. Is Rapinoe's sexuality her whole life outside of soccer? No, and she knows that. But it's a big part of the story she has to tell because of the stigma that still surrounds it.

I'm familiar with croquembouche as a French wedding cake. A French friend ordered one for his wedding, but the baker in the little town outside of Pittsburgh had never heard of it. My friend supplied a recipe, but said the cake wasn't right at all. I suspect something was lost in translation.

To say the least. I would not want something that complex from someone who’d never heard of it.

At least not without a trial run.

I've written seventeen pages, so that's enough for today.  We'll see if I like any of it tomorrow.

Listening to a little opera-ish thing (it sounds more like musical comedy) - I might issue it as I'm a huge fan of its composer.

Now playing: Another Entartete opera - very entertaining - Pavel Haas, Sarlatan (The Charlatan) - wonderful music.  And yet another young composer put to death by the disgusting Nazis.

Saturday afternoon greetings!  Well, one Ohio team won their bowl game yesterday and the other lost.  I wish the results had been reversed...


That Ohio game was awesome!

Rob Fisher's brother Steve posted on Facebook yesterday that his $600 stimulus payment has landed in his bank account.  I will check my account today.  In case.

I haven't received mine.

We re-watched the 2017 Broadway production of Falsettos.  I'll admit to being a blubbering mess during most of Act Two.


You and me, both.

When I was in the hospital for the first kidney surgery, I was given chocolate pudding as a dessert. It may be the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted. The nastiness lingered for days. When I got home, I made my own. It was actually worse.

Yikes!  That's terrible! :o

My niece is a big fan of Sue Bird's!  She used to be able to go to the games and got their autographs, and has gotten lots of Seattle Storm memorabilia.

I have a friend who is a big sports fan.  He stopped going to the Seattle Storm games, not that he didn’t enjoy them, but he felt intimidated by the large lesbian fan base.
