Four!

[John G.]

I like Adam Gopnik, but The Real Work isn’t cutting it for me. I guess I’m not interested in knowing the secrets of professional magicians.

Is this bizarre?

Ron, my family wasn’t into mayo and I’ve never lived with anyone who was into it.

So...no potato salad, chicken salad, tuna salad...at least, not made with with mayo?  No mater sammiches, which I figured you would have encountered in your southern years?

It seems a bit offbeat, but...

Gate has now changed three times. Now that we’re less than 30 minutes from boarding, I hope I am in the right place.

I hope so.

Or egg salad or deviled eggs.

I saw one of those "remember when" photos on Facebook about the gas lines. 

[Jane]

I had to look up the dates to recall exactly when they were.

[Jane]

In 1973 we were still in LA and only had one car.  I recall they happened and being inconvenienced.  Since Keith probably filled up the car during the day while I was at work I don't have strong memories about it.

[Jane]

With that in mind I asked Keith if what he remembered about the lines in 1979.  He barely remembered which is what I expected. I on the other hand......

[Jane]

We had two cars then.  Since I was home with Bryan and pregnant with Craig, Keith simply took my car when his needed to be filled.  Filling two cars those days and having to keep a kid entertained while waiting in line, yes I remember it well

[Jane]

The most memorial experience during that time was not filling the tank but stopping at the gas station, next to the line, to ask a question.  I have no clue what the question was, but boy did people yell and me worried I was trying to cut in line.

[Jane]

After I left I wondered about the anger directed at a pregnant woman.  What if I had an emergency and needed to get to the hospital.

[Ron Pulliam]

I saw one of those "remember when" photos on Facebook about the gas lines. 

I was assigned to Vicenza, Italy at that time.  While we were able to buy gas coupons at the exchange (gas prices at the tanks were very high in Italy under ordinary circumstances....taxes), the country went on an even-odd system, meaning that if your license number ended in an even number, you could drive every other day.

It worked out fine.  I was bike-riding distance from the post, so that is how I (and thousands of Italians, as it were) got around during the crisis.

[Jane]

You were very lucky to be in Italy at the time, and able to mostly use your bike.  We also went on odd-even system.  Fortunately my car and Keith's were the opposite.

Well, we found out last night that our director has Covid, so she is no longer involved with The Hotel Olympian Gala Extravaganza.

[George]

Cool!

[George]

Our stage manager will be sort of directing, but it'll be what it'll be.

[George]

Yesterday a friend of mine reported that her daughter was in lockdown at school as a precaution.

Yikes!

[George]

So, Lauren Bobert bedeviled the bejabbers out of the audience at Beetlejuice — and got booted!

Good!!

Sorry.

Yesterday a friend of mine reported that her daughter was in lockdown at school as a precaution.

Yikes!

And the friend needed to go to the market for food.  She went with apprehension but figuring he hadn't reached her area yet.
