Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of a trip, and now it is time for you to post until the trippy cows come home.

In Jrand's review of Kritzer World, he lists a bunch of names from the book: "So who is Katie? Well who are Christy, Caren, Robbie, Maddie, Diana, and Janice?"

All of those characters are based on real people except for one, but that's an interesting story, too. I think when a few more people have read the book maybe we'll do a Zoom Q&A and I can answer questions and tell you interesting things about who the real people are. I can also tell you who found me on Facebook and how, because that's the weirdest thing of all. Would that be fun?

I slept solidly until 1:30am, and then the remainder of my night was restless dozing.

Today I must book my Access-a-Ride for City Center, finish "Man to Man Talk," and tidy the apartment. This is the first day I've worn shoes since my fall, and I'm feeling fine.

I have yet to see a revival of a show I saw in its original production that comes close to the original. The closest might be the last Hello, Dolly! revival with Bernadette Peters and the Roundabout's revival of The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Both were very well done with good casting and good staging, but just didn't beat their original stagings.

Limoncello tiramisu:

Speaking of Limoncello, does anyone recall the ad-driven phenomenon Peter Lemongello and his "Mood rock" experience?

On the list of board games we had one called Masterpiece. You had to navigate the world of art dealership. In among the paintings was a forgery, which you didn’t want to get stuck with.

All of the paintings came from the Art Institute of Chicago, which I didn’t know/remember until I eent there. It felt like being with old friends.
