It wasn't a bad night of sleep. Annabelle and Thatch stayed with me most of the night. Stella stopped by, but I think she's happier in this warm weather sleeping alone in the bathtub.

My next three days are crazy, mostly with apartment work, Today I really need to tackle the bathroom after kitty cleanup. I've got to wash the litter mat, vacuum and mop the floor. It won't be easy and it;'s my fault for letting it go so long. The bathroom is tiny and it isn't helped all all the additional paraphernalia to keep me safe from falls. Also, it'ds hotter than hell in there and guaranteed to put me in a bad mood.

Tomorrow I lose a good deal of the day with Access-a-Ride and an appointment to have my eyes checked for a new glasses prescription. I so hope this property sale goes through because my last pair from 2019 or so cost over $700.

Ann and Jen are bringing me this TV belonging to Ann's parents on Sunday, so between tomorrow and Saturday, I need to clean off my work table and clean and dust my old TV, DVD player and cable box. Then I need to remove all the miniature scores from the shelving the TV sits on, put the scores into a storage carton, and dust and clean the shelving. This will be agony for all of my joints.

On the positive side, I received an email from Indiana University yesterday containing forms pertaining to bank wire trasfers, social security numbers, and other personal information to get me into the IU system. Then, they tell me, I will get a contract.

Sinatra and Nelson Riddle are an unbeatable combination. All of those "concept" albums are just superb.

Love and Marriage

I think that was the first time I heard a Sinatra song and recognized who he was.  He was singing it on television and it was just so catchy - I was probably 5 or six years old.

I slept well. But I’ve woken up with some sinus irritation. Hope it goes away soon.

TOD:

I am mostly in DR Ron Pulliam’s boat when it comes to Sinatra. I especially loathe his version of Theme from New York, New York. The way he butchers the lyrics and can’t handle the key change is worse than fingernails on a chalk board. That said, I do like these:

Mind If I Make Love to You
You’re Sensational
Fly Me to the Moon
Come Fly with Me

I was never a big Sinatra fan. I liked him in the films Come Blow Your Horn and Can-Can, and I happen to like serveral of the songs he recorded.

Not long before he died, I was a a performance of a Twyla Tharp ballet using nothing but recorded Sinatra songs. Just as the houselights went down, he entered surrounded and supported by 4-6 men in suits. They left just before the end of the ballet.

I have never liked Sinatra: the Persona, but I do respect his musical talent.
