It was still in its package in the linens drawer where I placed it three years ago

Nice!

So I pulled it out, and since I was already ironing I pressed it and Derrick looked very well this morning

I was planning to take Lake Shore Drive, but I guess that will work, too.

In the midst of our Memorial Day weekend, please give a thought to its purpose:  To remember and honor the lives given in the service of our country.

Always :(

Was watching What’s Up Doc clips the other night after listening to an Austin Pendleton interview on a podcast. Def was my favorite movie as a kid. The whole chase scene made me cry with laughter. I think O’Neal does a good job. Maybe his best. Barbra is luminous. Everyone is hilarious with the wordplay I appreciate in my dotage way more than the chase scene.

I never thought much of Ryan until this movie.

Yesterday had to take daughter to a horror-themed birthday party for a kid over in Canada. Weird idea, but it ended up cute, the birthday girl just loves Halloween. They had the place decorated all spooky. And a big inflatable water slide/bouncy thing in the backyard. I find if there are more than 10 kids, the birthday kid is overwhelmed and isn’t very nice, but there were only about 7 kids, and she was very sweet to my shy daughter.

Proud dad moment: daughter Rodz won musical chairs. That’s no small feat!

This post made me smile.

Insane news about Keith’s skin doc sitting on that info. Wtf is going on in the medical world these days. Covid and short-staffing being used as excuses for all manner of bad behaviors. Vibes to Keith, sounds like the path forward is the best one.

Thanks.  In all our years of going to dermatologist and getting biopsies, this has never happened.

Thank you.

Yes DR VIXMOM - the 60th anniversary of the JFK infamy....I don't know why I said 70th....

DR JANE we moved from a smaller school (the entire 7th grade class was in one classroom) to a larger one in October of 1962....there were probably 180 students or more in the class and we were divided into sections.  I was in 7-2 and my brother was put in 7-7.

We had classes in three buildings and there was a LOT of walking to get there in three minutes.

You and your brother were in the same grade?

I remember the hustle to get to gym classes on time.  There is a tunnel that goes under a main street at my Jr. High, now a middle school.  No dawdling permitted if you had to go from or to the farthest classrooms.

They only had one Math book in the bookstore, so we had to share.  My brother had Math in the main building during first period.  I had Math during second period in the Academy Building.  So I had to run over to the main building and get the book and get back to the AB because I had been in music class for the first period there.

WHEW!  I would meet my brother at the bottom of the steps as he went to history class.  More than once he forgot and I had to go to the history class to get the book and run even faster....to get to Math.

 :o

I seem to recall books being handed out to us in class, not purchased at the book store.

I am sure he appreciated your finding, and ironing it for him.

My goodness, DR Jrand72. With all that running, you should have gotten credit for phys ed, as well as math.

Well, I must get ready and hie myself out into the wilds of Tumwater so that I can get to and perform in today's matinee performance of Sunday in the Park with George. :)

We had junior high. 7th and 8th grade separate from anyone else. I thought it was a good idea to keep that Petri dish of 12-14 year olds in various odd stages of development apart from the rest of the academic world. I think the concept has been done away with though.

I am glad you were able to play this morning, DR John G., but sorry that it hurt. I'm sure your colleagues appreciated your showing up.
