And the word of the day is: BEACON!

Those were pretty fun notes, BK.

Yesterday after leaving my mom's, my sister and I went o my storage unit because she wanted to see if it was (possibly) large enough to store a small couch that she has. We get to the place and I couldn't remember how to open the gate!

I had the keycard, and I guess there's a code that I have to enter to open the gate, but I just had no idea. I tried searching through my e-mails on my phone, but that rarely works, so I'll look again now that I'm on my computer and I actually remembered to look.

For Memorial Day and my dad, I'm listening to Mozart's Requiem.

I actually slept rather well. Annabrllr and Thatch were with me most of the night. Stella came creeping in around 3:00 when she feels she needs to be cuddled.

I think this morning I will walk to my bank and get some cash. This week is my last chance to see Downton Abbey in a local theater, so I think I'll go to tomorrow's early show.

DR Jrand71, I'm with you: the OBC recording of Company is the only one. Everyone after has too small a band, and no cast is as good as the original. My neighbors Ann and Jen saw te current revival and really disliked it, especially the leading lady, wh they believed was not only miscast but giving a spectacularly poor performance.

BK, I'm blaming you for putting that idea of bagel and lox into my head yesterday, and I'm thanking you for that because it was really delicious. I woke up this morning thinking about it.

I thought it was the other way around. But no matter, because I’m blaming the both of you for what I’ll be picking up this afternoon for tomorrow morning.

DR Elmore has the advantage when it comes to lox, having the best in the world at his fingertips. Not that LA is shabby. Because it certainly isn’t. I’ll be going with a good packaged variety for convenience and safety in transport.

Today is my only full day off this holiday weekend, and it’s booked solid with two “barbecues” (total misuse of the word) I’ve promised to attend: the annual one at a theeder friend’s house at noon, and a later drop-in at a neighbor’s house. I intend to be very careful not to over eat, and especially not to overindulge in adult beverages. It really should come to no more than a decent burger and a bit of sides at each place, several hours apart, but I know all too well how these things can get out of control.

Yesterday’s gas price at Costco: $4.47. Premium was $4.99.

That 25-cents-per-gallon CT tax “break” is all but buried. And two out of the three months of that are already gone with the wind.

Well, I shall wish everyone a good holiday Sunday and get on with things that need to be gotten on with.

DR TCB yes today is the Indianapolis 500 - except what used to be the greatest spectacle in racing is now just another race thanks to the greed and ignorance of the newest owners of the track..

The whole state of Indiana used to be 500 conscious for the entire month of May - and now.....just another race. Although some folks try to pretend it's still special.

Today from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. is the theeder Open House. Tickets are on sale, OLIVER! will do a few numbers onstage for the assembled mob and the grimy kids from OLIVER! will eat all the cookies and goodies put out for the guests - while slobbering down and spilling most of the punch.

A good time will be had by all - followed by a board meeting.

That’s sad. I hope it never happens to Kentucky and the derby.

Going to a cookout gathering later today, providing the thunderstorms hold off.

Many people don't know that "Move On" from Sunday and "Hold On" from The Secret Garden were originally "Move Off" and "Hold Off." But wiser heads prevailed.
