Elmore, vixmom, Iris and other dear readers who asked, we left NY for the great state of Delaware not long after our son was born. Wife’s job transferred her there. We missed NY and she got a job back there and we returned to much delight. Then Covid hit and it became very difficult now with two kids and by chance another job sent us back to Delaware, making us the rare people who moved to Delaware twice. But Mrs Rodzinski is from British Columbia, and her parents are not doing well. Her mom had had a stroke flying back from visiting us, saved only by a quick-thinking flight attendant. So…we were worrying a lot, and knew we had to get closer, which we did last summer.

Thank goodness for the quick thinking flight attendant.

Yes, it was right when the plane was beginning descent in Minneapolis, and the attendant noticed my MIL seemed to be having trouble buckling her seatbelt. Then she went over and noticed the signs and phoned to the ground so they had people ready as soon as the plane landed. The administered a drug immediately that made her recovery much better, and got her to a great trauma center. It was very lucky, all things considered.

Yes, and she was with someone who noticed the signs quickly, and had access to medical care.

Well I ordered a Playbill from the 1980 production of MORNING'S AT SEVEN for the display case in the lobby - my production is in September.

I usually order two so I can display the cover and also the most interesting two pages inside.

The first one arrived yesterday....very nice. It included several newspapers clips about the show including the Hirschfeld drawing.  The second one arrived today it is the front cover signed by Maureen O'Sullivan, the cast page signed by O'Sullivan and Gary Merrill and a cut with the signature of Paul Osborn the playwright.

Wow.

Celebrated Joy’s birthday late with hot pot. Excellent stuff. Different items this time. Shrimp with the heads on. Ribeye strips. A lobster ball with more meat.

Listened to half of Stay True, a memoir that’s been getting a lot of press. I’m finding it fairly vapid.

I paid $9 for the first one and $11 for the second one.

Not as nice a find as DR GEORGE's Sondheim LP, but okay.

And now, I must get ready for my first SitPwG music rehearsal!

I'll be back later with a report!

Well, I'm home after the music rehearsal, food and some errands. :)

We learned most of "Sunday" (the act one finale), some of "The Day Off," and sections of "Putting It Together."

I then went to Taco Bell for brunch, then ran a few errands, and now I'm home, eventually to change into my usher drag, then go to my mom's for dinner before hieing myself back to the college where the rehearsal was to usher for a college production.

From George:

Quote
Actually, from where the front feet are to back under the cabinet, there's no vinyl, just bare cement.  I'd eventually like to redo the whole floor on my bottom level...that bathroom, the entrance, the kitchen and the whole living room in one kind of flooring.

That is unusual to have a mix of vinyl and cement.  One flooring for the entire area would probably look very nice.

It wasn't a deliberate mix of vinyl and cement.  A few years ago, the neighbors on that side had a leak and it leaked into my apartment, so that was taken care of.

That also meant that the previous vanity and part of the vinyl flooring had to be ripped out and trashed.  I then proceeded to not have it replaced ::) until now.

Eventually, I would like to replace all the flooring on my ground floor.

So it was simply the fact you didn't replace all of the floor, YET ;)
