Encapsulation continues....

Sigh.

The second half of The Book of Charlie is getting good. Very interesting look back at life in the last century.

It’s drizzling. Plants are perky. Roses, bougainvillea, plumbago are blooming. Very spring-like for December.

Sorry, DR Ron Pulliam. I didn't mean to intentionally steal your handiwork.

LOL, a fine turn of phrase!

Good morning, good day, how are you this beautiful day?  Hope everyone is doing well.  Enjoyed BK's notes - especially about Sophie's "Sets of business" as I LOD'd because when I was a kid, that's exactly what I called them!  Other than that... that's it for now.

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep. Dog has been walked. Here's how it goes with this uber neurotic girl - she'll pee in the yard here. I want her to poop there, too - easy cleanup that way, but she will NOT do it. So, we go for a walk and she will not do it on the front lawn or anywhere else UNTIL we got to the exact spot where she pooped yesterday, which was down at the corner - and I mean the exact spot. Crazy.

I just discovered this BBC documentary on Bernstein's Candide. What's exciting is it begins with footage from the original 1958 London production. I didn't thin any of that existed.

Probably the reason that you just discovered this, Larry, could be that it was just posted yesterday!
