I checked out all the new Apple stuff - sadly, no iMac 27-inch and not even an upgrade for the 24-inch. There have been rumors for three years of a new iMac, but nothing. I'm not sure who can afford the pro version, which, with monitor and even the least amount of stuff, would cost 6K. They do have the Mac studio but that hasn't even been upgraded to the latest chip.

And now I must be off - which I fear is the general consensus.

So, you must "remain" off?

Wednesday evening greetings! At 5:30am Richard had to wake me from a nightmare in which I was yelling “Go away!” over and over to the homeless people following me from the library to my car. He went back to sleep; I did not.

Today is granddaughter Hannah’s first birthday. Big sister Charlotte turned 3 last Friday. Big party at their house this weekend!

Sounds like fun, DR Ginny.

The party, I mean. Not the dream.

We are enveloped in a yellow fog like Manhattan was last week. Wildfires.

Iris, it's a new play, kind of an absurdist comedy with some parody music. I directed the first presentation about a year and a half ago, didn't direct the second presentation because the Group Rep had some issues to work out, and then was asked to do this incarnation again and to work with the author on certain things, which I did, as all issues were worked out. The author is a novelist and wrote a very funny book called Pest Control.
The book sounds hilarious, and the author is a real character.
I think Pest Control would make a good film.

Robert Gottlieb has died. I just watched that documentary on Robert Caro and him. He was an amazing editor.

I've spent four hours trying to fix problems in the parody lyrics - I'm a stickler that the parody words have to sit on the music perfectly and that you don't add extra notes because you can't figure out how to write something with the right amount of words to fit the notes you're dealing with. So, that took a while - I never changed any thoughts or intentions, just made them work with the proper number of words/notes. He's only fighting to keep one the way he has it - and that's fine, he can keep it, but it works better the way I adjusted it to fit the notes.

Had a sub sandwich from the local Numero Uno, one of only two left. It wasn't great but was certainly acceptable. It came with a little salad, too.

Well, our storm - for a few minutes - was noisy and flashy and wet.

Other than that, a big ol' nothingburger - with none of the predicted hail, or anything.

One nearby town did have some power outages, I'll give it that.

Lucky you.

How are you feeling today, George?

I'm feeling pretty good...a little tired from staying up too late (but what else is new? ).

Oh my! At least one of you went back to sleep.

We found this store in Portland that sells the best flavored popcorn we have ever had.

In honor of Flag Day downtown Bend has pretty flags flying. Along with the hanging flower baskets it looks very pretty here.

I always remember it is flag day as it was also my sister's birthday.
