I doubt that I will reach the Magic 8 number today.

You'll get there, nevertheless.   No rush!

Good Friday, all!

I had another disgustingly great night of sleep.

Love my CPAP!

It got down to 59 degrees last night, but it's 73 degrees right now with an expected high of 84.

I do love cool nights.

I am sorry that Senator Dianne Feinstein has passed, but she has been in very poor health lately and it was just a matter of time.

She was Mayor of San Francisco when I first moved to the Bay Area in 1984.  I was on USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) which was homeported across the bay from the city in Alameda.  Yet, the city adopted my ship which was known as "San Francisco's Own"...and the officer's mess had on display a beautiful silver service that was, historically, unique to San Francisco.  The major motif on each large piece was a golden bear (California state animal).  When the ship left for other climes, the silver service went back to the city.

She dined aboard the ship several times during the three years I served on it.  She always arrived via boat, crossing the bay rather than going across the Bay Bridge and through Oakland.  Wasn't "seemly".

She was affectionaly known as "Di-Fi"....well before "Wi-Fi" became a common term.

I have no idea what today may bring.

I know I am not traveling any great distance for anything...I hope.

I may visit the recycling center.  I may go to Third Generation for catfish at lunch.

I may just vegetate.

But I have in mind more cleaning, and I am revved by the idea of doing it.

DRs George and Singdaw, I am so sorry to hear of all the current family angst, health issues, and death. I continue to feel that I'm living on borrowed time. It occupies too much of my thoughts.

Thanks, Larry.

{{{Hugs to You!!}}}

And here we are, on one of the supremely rainy days in this region, of late a weekly or even twice-weekly event. It started last night and will continue through today and tonight and end sometime Saturday morning or noon or thereabouts.

(I can work the TOD into this):

I'm taking advantage of this dark, dreary day by starting in first thing watching the remaining Val Lewton films. By this afternoon I'll be done, having seen all nine of them and listened to the excellent commentaries, all within one week. Every one of these is beautiful in its own right, and it's been a satisfying journey.

Time to start building an ark, DR ChasSmith?

Today Richard and I are going to the upholsterer to see about having our dining room chairs recovered.  Best case scenario is that they pick them up from this house and return them to the new house.

Tonight, a night out at the theeder. A very good local director and good actors are opening Jeffrey Hatcher's Scotland Road which we've been looking forward to. We'll be there enjoying that and the opening night par-tay afterward.

This is one of the regional productions that's had to open a week later than planned, due to a Covid outbreak a couple of weeks ago.

Speaking of which, I'll be getting the NEW! IMPROVED! UPDATED! Covid vaccination on Monday morning. I scheduled it for when I have the rest of the day and the following day free for feeling the now-expected mild fatigue afterward.

Tomorrow, when the rain will hopefully have stopped, I'll be attending a matinee performance of m other director friend's Guys and Dolls at the Bridgeport Downtown Cabaret. Definitely another one to look forward to.

George, I think it must be a comfort to your mother knowing she visited Margita one last time.
