Here it is

Wow...that looks amazing, John!

[George]

And look!  It's Page Six!

[George]

But I just realized that this Kindle version includes the Second Part of the Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, which is a completely separate book, so I'm really further along in the original book than I thought.

No. It’s all part of one book. Everything back then was printed in multiple volumes. Keep reading.

I plan on reading the whole thing.

Groan, they just said the test won't be here until 5:45.  The test could be later.

I hope so.

I thought it was about time I read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. While I am enjoying it I don't know if I will read the second book.  Neither is very long.

Had a call from Muse Margaret - she still has about fifty pages to go, but she wants to do them tomorrow. I knew it would probably be too many pages to read in one sitting. She did have about three small excisions she wanted me to make and she was right about all three and I basically knew she'd ask for them - but I wanted to write it the way I did just so I could get it on paper, but excising it was simple as pie and that's done. I also know there's one more sequence she'll get to in thirty pages and I think I mentioned this in the notes, where I've already marked the cuts I know she'll want. I'm glad I wrote it as I did and I wanted her to read it, but I was so confident she'd want the cuts that I pre-made them.

Or the third or fourth. But thanks for all the fish.

Finishing up Your Table Is Ready. I grew to really like the book. It has hilarious stories about Trump, the Shah, Anna Winotur, Leo DiCaprio and more.

LOL are you suggesting I continue reading all of the books?

I'm sure some of you have heard the old joke about Leonard Bernstein.
This goes back to the time when he was the Music Director of the NY Philharmonic.

Two matrons are standing outside Lincoln Center, looking at one of the marquees.

The first woman says, "Have you heard that Leonard Bernstein might be GAY?"
The second woman replies, "My! Is there ANYTHING that man can't do?"

The opposite. I gave up after three. This was back in college. I was not amused.

[John G.]

I spent too much time today assembling a standing desk. It works beautifully.

[John G.]

I am starting Past Lives. This will be the fourth best picture nominee I have seen. Surprisingly I want to see the remaining six, especially Anatomy of a Fall, American Fiction and The Zone of Interest.

[John G.]

The pie was just delicious. Probably undercooked. It was a little runny. But that didn’t bother my taste buds one bit.

The great broadcaster Charles Osgood has died. For my friend Carol, the CBS Sunday Morning show was her worship services. She got me to watch it, and he really knew how to hold your attention. And without seeming to try. I am sure he worked hard, but he was so natural, so empathic.

I am amused, however, at this point not enough to continue reading the stories.

Will there be a photo?

We are still waiting for the alarm test.  Having my hearing aids out isn't as bad as Keith wanting his earplugs out.

[singdaw]

  Is that like in the song "to love pure and chased from afar"

 

[singdaw]

Congratulations on your new standing desk, DR John G. Enjoy it in good health.

[singdaw]

I bought a standing desk half way through the pandemic, but I don't spend enough time standing at it.

[John G.]

Not as pretty as pie.

[John G.]

I’m loving Past Lives. Romantic. Bittersweet.

[John G.]

I think I would like a better score.

[singdaw]

I should get back to standing, as I'll now be working overtime an extra 18 hours per week.

[singdaw]

It's voluntary. But I want the money.

[singdaw]

One more.
