Well, you've read the notes, the notes were zombified, and now it is time for you to post until the zombified cows come home.

I wanted to sleep late, but Joshie is coming over ro give me my Thanksgiving week Mattress song, "Very Soft Shoes," which I love. I* haven't had any visits, except for Jen syopping by to help me with the paper shredder, in two weeks - Ann was sick with Covid two weeks ago and back to teaching this last week - and I've been feeling poorly, so the place is more of a mess thsn usual.

So, I vacuumed the living area yesterday, and this morning, I'll vacuum the kitchen abd tidy up the bathroom before I take my bath.

After Joshie leaves, I'll begin the soft shoes number.

I have nothing else to report at this time.

I slept rather well. I remember one dream was about the Drama Book Shop, and a co-worker, Jane Grumbach Emerson, who died from a brain tumor sometime between 2000 and 2016. I googled her for an obituary just now, and only found one for her husband Bob, who died in 2016. They met as Drama Book Shop workers ad their wedding was held in the shop. Jane's mother was the lesbian writer Doris Grumbach (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doris_Grumbach), who wrote one of my favorite novels, Chamber Music, a moving and beautifully written book based on the life of American composer Edward MacDowell.

Jane and Bob were neighbors on 82nd Street. Jane's family was part of the Louis B. Mayer family and she grew up in a world of privilege. I liked her, but she was high maintenance. Bob was a fantastic singer, frustrated actor, and a lot of fun. I'm sorry to read of his death. The last timeI saw him, he told me that Jane had died.

Realized I had forgotten to read yesterdays Notes. That has now been rectified.

Glad to read that a modern major miracle happened.

I also vaguely remember that I dreamed something about the show Camelot. I cannot get "I Wonder what the king is doing tonight" out of my head.

Here's to more.

That novel sounds interesting, DR elmore3003.

That novel sounds interesting, DR elmore3003.

It's absolutely glorious and heartbreaking. It was published in 1979, just after I moved to NYC and started working at the Drama Book Shop, and I think my copy must be a first edition. I can't remember now if I bought a copy on my employee discount of if Jane gave me a copy. She and Bob had worked in the Book Shop in the early 1970s. For all I know, they might have waited on me during my multiple visits to New York. They left Manhattan when Jane had her first brain tumor. Her father supervised the surgery in Albany. They had recently moved back to NYC, and she and I became book store employees at the same time in late June 1979.

I needed a better sleep than I got, but you know what?

I'll tell you what.

It is what it is. That's what.

I have just a couple of hours to loll about, then I must get ready to head out to the Bedford Playhouse to learn about a guy who knew too much.

I had a Camelot dream in 1997 or 1998 that - whatever was actually in it (I may have jotted it down somewhere) - was epic, and left me obsessed from the moment I woke up with "Before I Gaze At You Again".

There must be a market for these.

I have had Camelot dreams in the past. Don’t remember any just now, but they have involved, as I recall, You May Take Me to the Fair and the title song.

Good Sunday, all.

I had a telephone call yesterday from Arizona....from that old friend I previously told you about who was visiting his son in South Carolina and was determined to visit me for a day or two. I begged off that visit, and he accepted it with grace.

At any rate, he called "just to talk", he said. And for the next 40 minutes or so he talked and talked and told me many things, none of which interested me in the slightest. I realized we have zero in common except the two years we were in the Navy together in Jacksonville FL. I am not certain how a face-to-face meeting will go, but I will persevere.

That said, he asked me if I ever missed being in the Navy. Hell, no, I protested. I retired after 23.5 years and never looked back.

For sure, I have dreams, from time to time, where I find myself arriving at a ship and worrying if I had duty or whether anyone had been looking for me. But I always wake up at the horror of it.

Guess what I dreamed about last night? Go on...GUESS!

It was the most full-blown dream I have ever had about being in the Navy. It haunts me, still.

I have had no desire to go back, but I have awfully good memories and friendships with folks who have also retired. I retired 30 years ago (come Dec. 31). It seems a much shorter time, memory-wise, but there it is.

Everyone I knew in the Navy is retired or no longer in service.

Time has marched on...

That's all I have to say.

It's Sunday, and I will soon venture out to Third Generation for my fried chicken lunch, and then come back here for my Sunday afternoon Zoom chat.

I love it when life has an order I can rely upon.

Okay, just one more post.
