While Mike took Mom on errands, Annaliese and I started some new cleaning projects.

I cleared out a ton of boxes behind bookcases. I found one box with all of Dad’s tax returns from 1990 to 2000.

Annaliese wants to shred those documents, but JB hates the sound of the shredder, so she took everything with her.

I put all of Mom’s cookie cutters together. Four baskets and a box full. And I have already taken 70 or so.

I put together four different sets of rabbit ears. Do people still use those?

No one seems interested in throwing things away. So, I just group things.

Tonight I went with a high school friend to see Henry V. Fun production of a play that’s all over the place. High and low comedy, war, drama, speech after speech, nothing really holding it all together, except Shakespeare’s genius.

Afterwards, two guys did a half-hour ad lib comedy sketch, supposedly a play Shakespeare didn’t write. The king got stabbed to death with a fatal fan. It wasn’t great, but it had a few good belly laughs.

I hope it's a good movie.  I'll find out soon enough!

Well, Joe Bell was a good movie, but somewhat sad and bittersweet.

It's about Joe Bell who decides to walk across the country in support of his son who is gay, to bring attention to the bullying his son experienced.

Jackie Mason has died at the age of 93.

Oh, my!  He was someone I just assumed had already died. :-/

But 93 years...hopefully, they were mostly good years.

Tonight’s lead-in to the 11:00 p.m. News said:

In Pierce County today, two men were shot to death, and a third man was killed by a hit-and-run driver.  Detectives are continuing to investigate all of these today, but it is beleved that one of them may have been intentional.

🤪Yeah, you have to watch out for those floating bullets in Pierce County.  They will reach out and grab you.

I believe Mr. Scott was considering naming his autobiography that title as well.

Dear Readers, my very dear friend Peter Foley has been fighting cancer for over eight years. It began as an eye tumorm and it's been under control with treatment until this year. He's been in hospital for a week and I'm very worried about him. I'm sure he, his wife Kate, and daughter Grace could use some super healthy vibes.

I had a strange dream last night, but only pieces reman. I was working in a recording studio, and the lobby was littered with debris. There was a lanky young janitor in a blue shirt sweeping up. Then I was helping clear the mess when he told me to stop; he could handle it. There was this hole in the floor where he was tossing trash and Annabelle, Thatch, and Stella were in it staring up at me.


What a horrible dream.  I could understand it if you were in the hole and Thatch was throwing dirt on you.
