Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of the new, improved readers - not DEAR readers, but actual reading readers, and now it is time for you to post until the reading cows come home.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

I slept rather well. Thatch stayed with me all night, Stella stopped by for a moment, and Annabelle preferred to sleep in  her bookcase aerie and only jumped down to the bed around 5:30.

Not much is happening here today. I need to call my lawyer, who's retiring, and set a date with her on Thursday to pick up the legal things she's been holding onto for the past 30 years and sign a new living will. I signed one 30 years ago, but neither she nor I knows where it is! So, a new one, and that will wipe out my bank account for the next two weeks until Social Security arrives.

Please, dear God, send work soon.

Looks like one more day of 90 degrees, and that's today. I think my forecast said it's not going above 80 for the next week or so.

BUT...

(And it's a very big BUT, if you catch my drift, and I'm sure you do...)

There's a chance of rain every single day this week, starting tomorrow.

Driving home from the meeting yesterday, I got very sick.

TOD (really narrowing it down):

The Day the Earth Stood Still
Vertigo
North by Northwest
Psycho
Journey to the Center of the Earth
Marnie
Fahrenheit 451
Taxi Driver
Twilight Zone - main themes and selected episodes

One bit of detail:  While under the spell of the PERFECT presentation of NxNW yesterday, I renewed my 50-year love affair with the "Act 3" part of the score. Starting with the hospital scene, throughout the Rushmore sequence and right to the end, including the reprises of the main theme on the monument, the score and orchestration are absolute magic. For my taste, the best of the best of the best.

DR Jrand73, that's horrible. Stay home and feel better!

And are you sure about Wednesday? Our relief was supposed to start tomorrow. I'll check again.

Yeah, we're ten degrees down tomorrow. But Wednesday is indeed cooler still (high of 70???), then it's up and down through the 70s for the rest of the week.

We’re supposed to hit triple digits several times this week. A change after a cooler than expected July.

No rain in the forecast, but I saw a double rainbow yesterday when I stepped out of my house.
