[John G.]

Five!

[Ginny]

Congratulations to your nephew, DR John G, on both counts!

[George]

My nephew, the French horn player, just called. He’s joining the Marine Corps band, if he passes his drug test.

He tells me he’s been studying for that.

Beauty Bar

"In 1995, two guys approached an elderly woman who had owned a beauty salon for quite some time and offered to take over her space. She agreed, upon learning that her 1930s décor would remain. To this day, Beauty Bar has stayed true to its original character. Hair dryers from the 1950s and 1960s and barbershop chairs line the walls. Even manicures are offered nightly, but the rest is all about being a bar. And there is a back room where they have comedy nights, burlesque shows and DJs with dancing. The owners described the mix of people who frequent the bar as everyone from tourists to neighborhood regulars, gay to straight, and cross dressers to guys in business suits. In short, everyone."

That's pretty cool, Jane!  And so are the pictures!

I am glad you enjoyed them. 

[Jane]

The concept of the bar intrigued me so I looked it up.

[Jane]

Just got the “Home safe!” text from Mary Linda.

Good news.

[Jane]

From DR Rodzinski:

To answer Jane’s query, they are to me like a slightly coffee-flavored Whatchamacallit.

LOL, not sure I have ever had a Whatchmacallit.  I did look it up.

I do like the Whatchmacallit.

As much as the Coffee Crisp?

[Jane]

DR John is your body sore today?

Just back from a 90-minute class to start working on on what we got yesterday.

That is better than a nine hour class

[Jane]

There will be a "Ring of Fire" solar eclipse on October 14 with limited U.S. viewability. If you're in the orange band below, you're in luck.

I’m in the orange band.

Lucky you.

[Jane]

My nephew, the French horn player, just called. He’s joining the Marine Corps band, if he passes his drug test.

I hope there isn't any doubt that he will pass his drug test.

[Jane]

He tells me he’s been studying for that.

 

I expect that means learning what foods, etc to avoid.  I know I wouldn't eat poppy seeds.

[Jane]

He also told me that he’s getting married to his girlfriend of five years.

Congratulations!

[Jane]

So, some happy news.

Yes.

[Jane]

I wonder if he’ll like the Marine Corps.

Vibes he does!

[John G.]

Thank you, Ginny and Jane, on Herman’s behalf.

[John G.]

Watching Miss Joan Crawford in The Damned Don’t Cry.

[Jane]

You are welcome.

[Jane]

Herman is not a name you see very often anymore. 

[John G.]

My mother’s brother — and a favorite uncle — is named Herman.

[Jane]

Thanks for the backstory on the name.

[Jane]

I had been reading I Have Some Questions for You and couldn't finish it.

[Jane]

The only reason I read this is that my brother pushed me to read it.

[Jane]

Now I have to tell him why I didn't like it.

[singdaw]

CONGRATULATIONS to DN Herman. You have to be pretty darn good at your instrument to achieve that level!

[John G.]

Starting Four Quartets, a film of Ralph Fiennes reciting T.S. Eliot’s poem.

[Jane]

One issue is due to my eyes.  It is difficult this style of writing, too much information coming at me too fast.  A bit like Harvey on steroids without his charm.

[Jane]

The author added the names of dozens of people who donated to a charity.  All that useless name dropping drove me nuts.

[Jane]

One thing my brother did get right, is it would make for a good book group discussion.

[Jane]

Has anyone else read I Have Some Questions for You
