Kitty cleanup is finished, and the humidity is high so I am drenched in sweat. The laundry and its accoutrements are waiting at the door, but I remain reticent. Oh, yes, I am reticent.

I am also debating sending the publisher holding onto A & T a "piss or get off the pot" email. I*'m happy he was interested last March, but puzzled bby his procrastinations to accept or refuse it.

Last night, after channel surfing, I caught two interesting PBS programs. The first was part of a series on  Great Estates of Scotland and it covered Inveraray Castle, home of the Duke of Argyll who is the head of the Scorttish clan Campbell. The current Duke and his wife, part of the Cadbury Chocolate clan, are a young, middle-aged couple with three children who treat the huge estate whose attitude is a huge anti-snobery "It's a business," keeping two floors of the castle to themselves and the rest as a tourist attaction which gets thousands of tourists to the town and castle regularly, many of them Campbells from all over the world coming to their homestead. I thought the Duke and Duchess were quite down to earth and charming.

The program following that was the first of a 3-part series on the Boleyn family: father Thomas, son George, and daughters Mary and Ann, and how Thomas rose to power ibn the court of Henry VIII. He was not above double dealing, politically correct marriage, and pimping his daughters to land himself in Henry's inner circle of court. I look forward to Part 2 next week.

Both shows sound good, Elmore. I will see if they are on pbs.org.

Is the Boleyn family anything like how they’re presented in the opera?

A weird email at work accidentally went out to everyone. I’ve wasted too much time this morning tracking down that it was a mistake.

I want to make a pie with dried cherries and chocolate chips, maybe nuts.

This is the recipe I found:

79!!!! grams of carbs per slice. That’s more than a whole day’s allowance for me.

Is the Boleyn family anything like how they’re presented in the opera?

The Boleyns come across differently in everything, from Donizetti opera to fiction. This series lays out how a non-noble but wealthy family marrried inrto the noble but poor Howard family in Thomas Boleyn's rise to power using everyone and maipulating his father-in-law(?) Thomas Howard and Cardinal Wolsey among others, juggling his young daughters Mary and Ann in his climb. His son George died in Henry's plot to assassinate Ann, and Mary seems to have vanished into obscurity. The programn's also good in explaining Ann's dilemma as a 13year-old sent to be a courtier at the court of Marguerite of Ausatria and then the corrupt court of Francis whenv Henry pimps his sister Mary Tudor into marriage with the old French king. All the while, heads are rolling.

I always thought Alexandre Desplat would have been a good name for a character in an Inspector Clouseau movie.
