I slept in after the alarm rang, same as yesterday, only this morning Stella wasn't putting up with any of it. She pestered me for an hour, when I finally gave in and got up.

I have two important phone calls to make at 9:00am.

The only play I can think of that I detested so much that I could not wait to walk out of was Tennessee Williams' Camino Real. I believe Williams is a great playwright and I usually enjoy his work, but Camino Real is a dud, an experiment that failed, and an effort to sit through. Perhaps someday there will be a brilliant production that reveals what this miasma is about, but nothing made sense in the mess I saw.

A community theater production of The Cemetery Club. Just dreadful. Never saw the movie.

Love Among the Ruins had George Cukor directing. That helped keep things light and moving. I haven’t seen it in ages, but I remember being thoroughly entertained.

Waiting for a call from the car dealership. Having trouble with my front fender.

Is that in Canada?

Alas! It's Monday, at last.

Another week has begun, and I wasn't finished with last week.

Two items on my Wednesday schedule...conflicting, of course. My annual cardiology appointment in Augusta, and the October seniors luncheon at the church. I had to miss the September luncheon because of the loopy-inducing drugs I was taking (it was the potluck to which I was going to take meatballs).

I would much rather do the luncheon but worry about rescheduling the medical appointment.

Sigh.

I broke down and bought a roll of U.S. postage stamps Friday.

The last time I bought, the stamps were 55 cents each.

Did you know they are now 66 cents each? Of course, the last time I bought was five years ago, but still...THAT's inflation.

How very old it makes me feel to remember a time when I could mail a first-class letter for 6 cents.

Of course, back then, a quarter would give me admission for a kiddy matinee, and either a Coke or bag of popcorn, at the local theater.

Quarters used to have value. A money-seeking outfit sent me three quarters in one of their recent pleas for funds. THREE QUARTERS. Those used to BUY stuff. Now they're chump change to throw into 4th class postage.

We had a fun trip last week to Disneyland. It was very very crowded and we didn't get to ride everything we wanted, but the little one had a great time.

I once saw a production of "The Fantasticks" in a military community production.

Not one cast member could sing!

Songs were talked.

They were an attractive cast, but one needs vocal stimulation from at least one cast member, I believe.

The Mute was convincing.

I have seen dreadful productions through the years...shows with titles I did not know at the time and have no reason to recall today. These were all done locally in Edgefield by very well-meaning, fun-loving folks who truly think they are providing much-needed culture to our climes. Watching paint dry is more stimulating, but you cannot later laugh about that.

It was a few minutes after 9 by time we were arrived at the baggage claim area where Vixdad was waiting for us.
