I was listening to this new release today, and thinking how much Rebecca Luker sounds like Barbara Cook in certain registers.

Mom has died. I was on the phone, talking to her. I told her when she was ready, she could go. She went immediately after.


I'm so sorry, John G.  Sending condolences to you and your family.

A colleague went to the MN State Fair today. I told her that I hoped she ate all the things.

Our State Fair is the second-largest in the country by attendance, only smaller that Texas's. But they run much longer than our 12 days.

I don't go anymore. I find that as I age, I am more shy of large crowds.

I am not attending live classical concerts or theater as much as I used to, either.

COVID kind of put an end to all that, and I'm not sure that I'll ever go back.

DR John G., I am so glad that you were able to go out for your mother's last birthday celebration, not that long ago.

Why say in one post what you can stretch out to five posts?

Exactly! ;)

From George:

Quote
Yes, two.  I'm #13 on on 2 copies from my library (13 week wait), and #10 on 6 copies at Pierce County (4 week wait).

I thought I had to pick one library or the other, or the book was automatically held in the shortest queue.

Are you using Libby?  I'm not.  I went to each library's OverDrive page and added my holds there.

I'm using Libby as I thought I had to use it to put books on hold.

I don't know about that, but the OverDrive sites are still around...so far. :)

Friday was kind of a my day already, just not quite what I hoped for, but still a fine my day.

Speaking of "My Day" -

Skip's song "Today Is My Day" (the opening number from our musical "Viva Max!")
is at the first three minutes here
