My egg bites are gone and working their way into my digestive system.  My cup of coffee is less steaming and nearly gone.

I think a second cup will be needed.

I wish all of you a fine day, good health and happiness.

Larry, if you get those tacos, I recommend the mild sauce.  No need to bring back that acid reflux.

I wish someone would offer me free tacos!

Is there a taco place that takes online orders and delivers?

Barbenheimer.

I like that.  Thanks for bringing it to our attention DR RON PULLIAM.

I am interested in seeing OPPENHEIMER....

I like the Robert Adams opera DOCTOR ATOMIC a lot!  It's certainly an interesting story.

And in an interesting aside that may pique the interest of some.

One of the folks who worked with Oppenheimer at his top secret base developing the atomic bomb was none other than Madge Blake - who later became an actress playing Mrs. Mondello on Leave It To Beaver and Batman's aunt on the popular BATMAN tv show.

Madge was offered the part of Aunt Bee on the Andy Griffith Show but couldn't accept it because of her recurring contract on BEAVER and instead suggested her friend Frances Bavier.....and a star was born.

DR RON PULLIAM we had a great opening night.

And I am looking forward to the next couple of nights...and then a couple of days off before starting it all again next week.

Our tickets are selling well.....only slow night is next Wednesday with 55 seats left to peddle.

The audience was great.

And yet, stories persist that Bavier was very difficult while on the show.  With everyone.

I have read that, in her later years, she wrote a letter to Andy Griffith apologizing.

Can a gazelle fly while doing the Watusi?

DR singdaw that gazelle isn't going to get very far.  Really a fun dance that I used to enjoy doing.

Free tacos.

But that was a terrible thing for that unknown person to do to that store.  My guess is that it was the work of a former employee.

I finished watching "Rome" yesterday afternoon, and I then turned my attention to "John Adams'.

I missed the series when it first aired, but caught it a year or two later over a 4th of July weekend.  I loved it.

And here it is on Max.  I was amazed to learn that a lot of critics loved Laura Linney as Abigail Adams but felt Paul Giamatti was badly miscast.

I think he is a revelation as Adams, and he won many major awards for this performance. 


Giamatti was perfect as Adams. The brutal reality of the breast cancer scene in that miniseries still haunts me.

Don’t be silly. Gazelles now do the merengue. The Watusi is so last season.

DR vixmom, safe travels today. It looks dreadful outside.

Thank you! I just realized I have to leave early to refill the gas tank

I hope your day went well.

Must take Mom banking today. Getting her from wheelchair to car isn’t easy.

That can be difficult :(

And I got Mom’s existence verified with the German version of Social Security. Was able to do that with an app.
