I was supposed to usher, but they asked all but 25 to give up their position. So I did.

What a glorious Thursday afternoon in June:  It has been raining buckets.  And the air smells so incredibly fresh and clean!  It reminded me of storms we used to have when i lived upstate.  It would be hot as blazes in the summer, and then the blue skies would darken with clouds and a tremendous rainfall would ensue.  Afterward, the skies cleared and the world seemed fresh and new.

I had a marvelous nap, too.  And dreamed a dream that reminded me of another dream I had YEARS ago.  What I best remember is that the dream location was an amalgam of Johnston and Aaron's Creek VA (where my dad's family lived and where he and my mom lived for a few years until they moved here).

Don't recall any other particulars, but i really enjoyed knowing the locale.

I have also managed to watch two films today:

One was "The Celluloid Closet" which aired on TCM last night.

The other is "The Runaway Bus", a 1954 British film starring Frankie Howerd, Margaret Rutherford and Petula Clark.  It's a comedy about British fog halting air flights at Heathrow in London, a bus used to transport passengers to remote airports where the fog wasnt bad, and a heist of gold bullion from the airport using the "boot" of that bus to hold it.

It's a bit of fun.

I also managed to defrost some spaghetti Bolognese meat sauce and had a wonderful plate of spaghetti for my lunch.

Today has been good to me.

And the rain is still pouring down.

Do you recall if you enjoyed it?

All I remember about the Fog City Diner is that their turtle sundae wasn’t nearly as good as the one at Graeter’s in Cincinnati.

I never had that.  We went a few times when we lived in Tiburon which is just over the Golden Gate Bridge.

Harry Groener is in a musical version of Water for Elephants. The show doesn’t sound promising.

That's too bad. :-\

Wasn't the movie supposed to be good?  I never saw it, so I don't know.

I believe Chris Fitzgerald is in it, too.

Isn’t the director, Jessica Stone, his wife?

Jane, you can skip this post.

On the ride home, I got a Dr Pepper milkshake from Whataburger. Delish.

So, the doctor is pleased most of the pain is gone. I can cautiously return to dancing.
