Well, it was the TIMES...of course "flop" should have been the answer.  Anywhere else it would automatically be "miss".

Home from tech. I spent most of the day futzing with my MainStage programming as they did a cue to cue.  After dinner we ran the show and it was pretty decent for Sunday of tech day.  The band is back in tomorrow.  Looking forward to a fun tech week and a smooth opening on Friday.

In the meantime, I'm home with the boys and leftover trifle - which will stay in the fridge until at least tomorrow.  I think I have a bagel around here somewhere....

My darling Kim Criswell has had a death in the family: her dear cat Vladimir Otto died yesterday. She posted May we meet again when I go over the rainbow bridge—it surely can’t be heaven for me if he’s not there. I know exactly how she feels.

Oh, no.  My condolences to Kim. :(

That was an interesting vintage video compilation that you posted last night, DR George.

I know, right?

Sleeping temperatures began their return last night, though it was very early morning before my room was feeling the difference.

I daresay (oh yes, I do) we won't have to run any air conditioners this week. And isn't that lovely.

I don’t know what it means to not run the AC.

Even though it's not that warm here, I constantly run my air conditioner in my car the moment that I get it.

It never really gets very cold, so I have to keep it on all the time to get any kind of relief from the heat. :P

DR George:  You have never read any of the Maupin "Tales of the City" books, as you said, but did you ever see any of the TV adaptations of the stories?

I only saw a couple...not the whole series. ::)

They're all turning 60 within the next year and they're going to take a trip to Hawaii!

That sounds like fun.

They're all looking forward to it.

I much prefer taking a pill every morning to prevent reflux than taking something after I get sick.

I would too.  Fortunately, I don't have any kind of reflux situation, so usually Tums is good enough for me.

Eggnog bread pudding with spiced rum caramel sauce.

That sounds yummy.

One thing I have not returned to is adding ketchup to cottage cheese, which my siblings and I did as kids. Yuck.


When I was a kid, I didn't like spaghetti sauce, so I would have spaghetti with ketchup.

One time (to this day I have no idea why), I mixed ketchup into a big plate of mashed potatoes.  I threw up all over the kitchen! :o

I always hear about how A/C in the Pacific Northwest is not a very common thing in people's homes.

And then I hear about the 90s and 100s and worse air quality than other areas, etc. etc. .....  so, um ..... ?  :)

They are becoming more popular.  My mom has a floor model that vents out a window, and my friend Margo has an in-the-window model.

In this part of the Pac Northwest, 90s/100s has been a rarity until recently, and the hot months a pretty brief portion of the year. That all is likely changing. Haven’t really needed AC so far this year. We’ll see what August brings.

It's global warming!  It's Climate Change!!  IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!!!
