I am like DR JOHN G - I like to watch Broadway and Tony clips.

I also like to watch videos from local theeders and high schools.....sometimes.

My favorite are probably dance videos from the 60's and 70's.

On a different note, I think this production of 70 GIRLS 70 is going to be the death of me yet.

Oh wait. Wait a minute.

I'm not even involved!

Whew.

But reading about it has certainly been an adventure!

Best wishes and vibes for a great preview tonight!

I accomplished my errands after I canceled my Access-a-Ride trips. The shitty car service was more than 30 minutes late, and I knew I could not make my appointment, so I canceled it, then canceled AAR. I stood in the street on 82nd Street, praing a taxi would come by. A young man stepped out of 206 West 82nd Street, and I asked him if he would mind, when he got to Broadway, hailing a cab for me.

He did, and the taxi delivered me to my bank at 79th Street and Broadway. I accomplished my banking, then walked a block to Staples, where I faxed my Medicaid documents. I am now home, and happy to be here.

A gracious good Thursday morning to all of you.  And a Happy Anniversary to BK and all of us.  It is incredible to believe it has been 22 years!!!

I returned to Johnston at 4 p.m. yesterday afternoon.  Tired, but very happy and pleased to have spent the previous two days at the beach with my cousins.

We talked and talked and talked and walked on the beach and talked and talked and ate delicious meals while we talked and talked.

i don't believe I have ever been in a "chattier" situation.  My cousin Rick can talk more than anyone I have ever known. His wife, Susan, is his equal in that in all respects. During my first day, I began wondering if I would ever have a moment of silence to myself to read anything on my iPhone in Facebook. I admit I was overwhelmed by it all, but I adjusted, and that is the the key thing.

I had breakfast two days in a row...a thing that hasn't happened in a long, long time.  I had grits with cheddar cheese, bacon, two eggs and toast, all absolutely wonderful.  Our meals were at local restaurants, and breakfast was at the Litchfield Restaurant.  The breakfast menu was astonishing.

We talked during the half hour or so after we ordered, all during the meal and for another hour at the table after we ate.  Honestly, I couldn't understand why we tarried so long when we could have talked in the car or back at the condo.

We even talked while we walked.  I believe in putting one foot in front of another and getting to where I am going, but for whatever reason, we would take a couple of steps and one of my cousins would stop, turn to look at one of us and start talking while we just stood there....even in the middle of a busy parking lot.  I had to move us along a few times, but we all stayed out of harms way.

Did I mention that we talked a bit?

This house is so QUIET!  I hardly know how to behave.

I chuckled through this, delighted you had a good time and laughed at all of the talking.

I am glad I went.  It was wonderful to be somewhere different from...or "other" than... here.

I expected this excursion would be good for you.  It is good to get away and change our routines.

It's time for coffee, but I must tell you that we drank coffee all through each morning and again at breakfast.

Haven't been that caffeinated in many, many years.  And it may have been why we were all so talkative.

Caffeine and sugar can do that to me.
