I started Beach Read by Emily Henry. I think I’ve read it before.

Exactly why I keep a list of books I have read ;D

Cooking took a while tonight. Between that and the dishes, I managed to get halfway through Beach Read. I guess I'll finish it. It's gotten better. As soon as the bet between them was made, the story seemed to take off. Just now, she's forcing him to watch a Meg Ryan triple feature. Sounds painful.

DR TCB I hope you sorted everything out and can get your covid test, and have the surgery.  You really need to get this done.

Not my favorite recording of the song. But parts of it are good. It just doesn’t have the heft it does as a duet. And then when the chorus joins in …

Sorry, DR TCB. If I lived there, I'd leave work "sick" and come get you.

I am getting really pissed off.  It is a bit late to drop all of this on me.  I think I would just as soon, reschedule the whole thing!

Oh, my goodness! :o Hopefully, it can all be worked out.

I tried to explain that I haven't been driving much, because I can't load and unload my scooter, and that driving is difficult.  They said, "Well, have a friend drive you."  Ahhh, where am I going to come up with a "friend" on short notice on a work day?

I wonder if any movie studio would consider producing Sondheim's Getting Away With Murder as a film.

I will be using my NBA League Pass to watch the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight and hope Mr Luka Garza is in the lineup for a few minutes at least.

The Amazon user reviews of Finale, the book with the last interviews of Stephen Sondheim, are scathing.

Monday evening greetings!  Y’all may have guessed that we were away.  We went back to Illinois to spend Thanksgiving with Charlotte and Hannah (and their parents, of course).  It was a lovely visit and we had a smooth drive home today.

Usually we just say we are going to visit our granddaughter :)

One woman didn't read the book because she thought it would be boring.  She might have supported me in this opinion ;)
