Is anyone else here watching, keeping up with, the Hulu program "Only Murders in the Building"?

It's quite quirky and good fun.  Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez are the three stars/producers.

Nathan Lane is in a recurring role.  Jane Lynch was also an amusing addition and she, along with others, has been Emmy-nominated for her role.  An actor named James Caverly plays Theo, son of Nathan Lane's Teddy Dimas.  Caverly is deaf, as is his character, but he's extremely good as the son.

It airs every Tuesday, but one can see all the episodes up to this week's on Hulu.

We watched the first episode of the season last night.  I am looking forward to watching the second episode.

New perky perks have been added - including two signed items from Edward Albee - all VERY reasonable - I mean VERY reasonable, so check 'em out. Also a couple more CDs and a couple of first edition hardcover plays - if there's interest in those I have many I can list.

I don't know if you all remember the chronic bathroom leak problems that we had for about a year from the bathroom in the unit above ours back at the beginning of the pandemic.

Well, today we discovered a damp carpet, water stains, and black mold in the bedroom around the cooling unit. We suspect also from above. I anticipate another big ordeal. This time, it will probably mean opening up the wall.

I am not a happy camper.

At least it's not hot at the moment. But I suspect it will be before this is fixed.

Has anyone read The Girl in His Shadow? It’s our library’s latest big read.

The HRA Appeal phone call lasted less than fiuve minutes and was one of the stupidest and most inane situations I have ever encountered. I felt I had scarcely begun my app[eal whjen they said, thank you, and hung up.

I saw that today.  Everyone can check it out from if you use Overdrive.  I didn't check it out though it looks interesting.

John, do you plan to read it?

Haven’t decided. I’ve got four books to listen to. I’m three hours into The White Tiger, which I like, though the main character isn’t likable.

On June 8th, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty two, a little indie band in Austin Texas dropped a package, addressed to moi, at their local post office
