Last night I started reading A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE, which is about Virginia Hall, an American who was a spy in WWII. Really interesting.

Thanks. We usually go in November because I attend a church conference in the L.A. area. But the venue canceled us this year (as well as last year), and we found out that the days we reserved for Disneyland have shorter hours than usual. One day, they are closing at 7 p.m. for a ticketed event. That's just too many lost hours for the money we are spending. So we decided to postpone it for a few months.

We got our boosters today, so we'll have one less thing to worry about when we do go. My daughter has the week off anyway, so at least she won't feel crappy at work.

So, at 8:59 I was outside the building on the sidewalk, waiting for my ride. St 9:04 I called AAR and asked where the car was. They put me on hold for 14 minutes, then told me the car wasn't coming. They would call for another, which would take between 10 and 30 minutes or more before a car would arrive. I told them to cancel my trips abd took a taxi. What would have cost me $5.50 roundtrip cost me $20+! ! !

I rerally detest this fucking service for senior coitizens.




Had you seen this article?  This seems system-wide.

My profile says I arrived here in 2009, which seems right. That’s when I was laid off.

Also a good read is Madame Fourcade's Secret War: The Daring Young Woman Who Led France's Largest Spy Network Against Hitler by Lynne Olson.  I liked it better but that could be due to reading it first.

Thanks for the notes on Louis Wain, Jeanne. I want to see it but I can wait for the DVD.

Both are good reasons to postpone.

I've finished the autobiography of "fat, Jewish lesbian actress" (her description) Miriam Margolyse (Aunt Pru on Miss Fisher's Mysteries), which was wonderful. I admired her honesty, politics, humor, and sharp observation very much.


She told the story from the book of her arrest and strip search on The Graham Norton Show.

That should be she told the story in The Graham Norton Show, she didn't get searched in The Graham Norton Show.

DR Elmore is it possible to call earlier in the morning to confirm that they are coming at the time that you need?  Or schedule them 1 hour before you actually need them?
