Now what?

Good morning, all.

At least three crazy dreams through the night. No, I believe there had to be four distinct ones. But only two are still in my memory as of right now. The one about McDonald's was by far the most bizarre.

I did see Sinatra in concert. It was the opening of a new arena in Albany, NY, and I managed to get two press tickets. Frank Jr. conducted the orchestra. Corbett Monica (sp?) was the opening comedian. Sinatra was off key much of his performance, but it wasn’t really about that. He still had charisma, and people loved him. I’m glad I have the memories. But he was no Ella in concert.

What about McDonald’s, ChasSmith?

Boris Johnson has resigned. Good riddance.

You, too, DR Michael.

I am particularly fond of the tracks he recorded when he was a big band singer

The series of events would run only three minutes or so in real time, but an attempt to describe them in the dream would require many paragraphs of references. I couldn't do it justice.

Neither can the current Supreme Court, apparently.

Well, did it come with fries?

My supervisor, who was in the office with me yesterday, has tested positive for covid. I’m now taking my second test this week.

I did have several meetings with her up close and personal.

An early Sinatra memory, music-wise, was hearing him sing "It Was a Very Good Year" on afternoon TV, probably the Merv Griffin show which we really liked, and I was very taken with that song because of the arrangement and scoring. Other than that, I came to appreciate his musical work much later in life. I love the Capitol Records era and some of the Reprise.

At that time I had already enjoyed a couple of his films, notably Robin and the 7 Hoods, and I got to know and appreciate many more of them through the years.

I never quite got to the point of actually eating anything, but fries were definitely in the picture.

I finished cleaning the bathroom - at least the portion around the litter box - and the cats and litter box are in trhe hall until the floor dries. When that's accomplished, I will go back in, put everything back in place, and clean the bathtub. I figure that will be around noon.

Stella's curiosity about the noises in the bathroom has her in a frezy to get inside.

Thursday morning greetings! I crashed last night and slept until the lawn mowers next door started up at 8am. It was good to be back in my own bed.

Not all of the time. I don’t wear my mask at my desk.
