I just stepped out back to scatter some leftover popcorn for the birds. It is cooler, but still brutally humid. I think a storm is coming…

Up early to usher for a Pride bunch. We’re putting together goody bags first.

Hope it's a fabulous event!

Why do I do these things to myself?

Because you care.

George, break a leg as work starts on An Inspector Calls!

Thanks, Freddie!

Even though the auditions are tonight and tomorrow, rehearsals don't actually start until September.

Not I. Hopefully, it's well written.

A few of you saw housemate Kristi's post about TITANIC, and I have to say I could easily have sat through its last two performances in addition to ours. Not for $200 a pop, but, you know.

For this score in particular, I have to consider this Encores! presentation a once in a lifetime treat. You're never going to hear it like this again.

Glad you enjoyed it, ChasSmith!

Yes, thank you for the repors, DR ChasSmith and DR vixmom!

That'll give your Inspector time to learn all of those lines.

George · « **Reply #71 on:** June 23, 2024, 11:27:51 AM »

And now, I must shower and get dressed, then hie myself out into the environs of Tumwater then Tacoma. It will be a full day of theatrics!

Day Six. And OMG, it is brutal out there.

I only had to run out to two stores for a couple of things, but just the walking in and back out to the car, twice, and bringing stuff in at home, was miserable.

We're supposed to get a couple of days relief starting tomorrow. Not a moment too soon.

I'm up, I'm up - maybe four hours of sleep - all due to that rancid muffin top, I suppose.

It was TCB who was something of a Titanic fanatic, wasn't it? I don't recall the origin of that for him.

Yes he was, and when I was at the museum I wished he were here to discuss my experience.

Did you tell Kristi about my connection to the Titanic?

I actually need to ask you to refresh me on it and then I will pass it on.

Captain Smith was a beloved member of my mother's family, by marriage. He was my great uncle. He died before my mother was born or she would have met him.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #83 on:** June 23, 2024, 04:34:36 PM »

Right! Thank you.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #84 on:** June 23, 2024, 05:08:11 PM »

We were just under severe weather warnings, which have now passed, thank goodness.

I’m learning that prospective LA homebuyers must have patience. Late last Monday I saw a listing for a small one-bedroom in Santa Monica. Building was from 1928, lots of light, charming. I contacted my real estate agent early Tuesday morning, asking to view it. It had only been on the market for fiver days, but they had already closed submissions. It sold later that day — for $100k over list price! I didn’t even have a chance! All I can say is that some people must have a LOT of money.

Jeanne · « **Reply #88 on:** June 23, 2024, 05:18:45 PM »

It’s difficult to be optimistic.

Jeanne · « **Reply #89 on:** June 23, 2024, 05:19:20 PM »

I am, however, preparing for a move.
