I just come here for the novelty coffee mugs and their trenchant commentary on the little ironies of everyday life.

Thursday morning greetings!  I’ve spent the past 2 days weeding bookshelves, so today we have a carload to take to the AAUW sale site.

DR ChasSmith, thanks for the report on yesterday’s mail.  That was very fast delivery - I’d just mailed it on Monday!  Hope for a similar report from DR John G soon.

I have moved the cartons into the foyer, so all I do now is wait for the Frd Ex pickup.

Four (count 'em) dreams last night and early this morning, on mostly common themes but, as always, variations on same, and this time they all kind of melded together even though I believe they were actually separate dreams:

A musical gig that had to be hiked to in some wooded hills, that led into a new theme of some natural healthy form of food. Then a work dream referring back to the former day job but a variation on it that hasn't come into focus. Finally, some destination or another gig or something that we (?) had to drive to, in a more open but hilly territory and I was afraid for my car's ability to handle it.  Oy!  Just wake me up, please!

Breakfast: 

Time to shop. Used up the cream cheese on two slices of toast with a healthy sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning. Delicious. And three (3) cups of coffee, which I will no doubt be required to begin paying back sometime soon.

She said that they do need board operators, but would I like to meet and discuss?  I said okay, so we're going to meet today at the Starbucks in front of the Tumwater Fred Meyer.  I think they must be kind of desperate if they're asking me! 

I think that your reputation has spread and they believe you might just do a terrific job.   Expand your talents, George.  Stage managing is daunting, but very rewarding.

I keep getting emails from "Amazon," claiming that my Amazon Prime membership payment has failed. Since I keep daily tabs on my online bank account and Amazon charges, I delete the emails.

Absolutely delete them!  I get them, too, but my prime membership always renews automatically in February and uses the same info all my other purchases use. 

Made no sense to me the first time I got one of those e-mails when all my orders were going through just fine!

TOD:

I loved Mantovani and some of the others named.  Additionally, I loved some of the 101 Strings albums...

...and then there were the Stanley Black "Film Spectacular" albums!!

At least they were varied.

Last night I slept well, but...my dreams had me shopping for meat and being disturbed because I could only find one-sided meat....in other words, I couldn't cook it on both sides because all the meats were one-sided.

I don't EVEN want to know what that was about.

Well I wasn't shopping for meat.....but I was in WalMart getting some water for the fridge at the theeder.....and there was a package of a dozen Tyson chicken drumsticks.

Today was the sell by date.....and they were only $5.26 - so I bought them and they are now baked cooling on top of the range.....so I won't have to cook anything else for the weekend.

Good golly!  It's Thursday.  The work week is nearly over! 

It's beautiful outside.  There are about 30 geese rambling along the pond shore in my yard.

Temperature is currently 87 degrees.  High is expected to be 92.

AQI is 44.

So, in other words...you are "drumstick crazy".  I would love to see Fred Astaire dance to that lyric.

I'm drumstick crazy, yes
I'm drumstick crazy, yes
I’m plumb crazy for drumsticks

I've got drumsticks full of hot licks and a roll

DR John I liked The Black Arrow and am glad I read it.  I was also glad it was a short book.

I read Don Quixote years ago.  I wonder what I would have thought of The Black Arrow had I read it back then.

In some ways history of The Black Arrow would have been fresh, maybe more interesting when I was young.  I would say the depth of the book and the message might be clearer now.

We will now be able to travel to visit her in 20 minutes, instead of 2.75 hours.

That is much, much better.  Vibes the move goes well and she is pleased with the extra visits.
