The Finale and Dorico FB groups are moving and shaking like a gazelle popping corn.

I just watched the Blake Edwards documentary and enjoyed it very much. As always with these things, you wish they'd covered more of this, that, or the other thing, but I liked what was there and learned some stuff. I also need to see some of the movies again now.

DR ChasSmith, there is a Udemy Dorico course on sale for a short time for $10.

DR Jane, I had dinner out with a friend recently who had hearing aids. I was amazed at how she could adjust the settings from her phone to suit the situation, including the "soundstage" by angle.

Interesting about the soundstage by angle. I wonder what she is wearing. These new one automatically adjust, and I do find that an improvement. Unless the audiologist feels he can make an adustment that will improve these I don't find the price of them to be worth it. Maybe if insurance covered them I would feel differently.

We also watched the Blake Edwards documentary this evening. I concur with DR ChasSmith's assessment.

It has been a very nondescript day here in Johnston SC in the CSRA.

I cannot fathom why. I was up early, watched the Joe-and-Mika-and-Willie-less "Morning Joe" (hosted by British Katty Kay and American Jonathan Lemire), had coffee, got mail, filled up my car with gasoline ($3.01/gallon), bought my lunch at (Don't-Be-a-Square-Eat-at-)The Triangle where the bill-of-fare was pork chops. Yum.

I have a lab appointment in the morning at the VA, preparatory to next week's quarterly checkup. While in Aiken, I do believe I shall grace Sam's Club with my patronage.

Why is "Morning Joe" without all three stars?

I do not know. They probably explained it Monday morning at 6 a.m., but I don't watch that early.

I'd like to know why they call the wind Maria.

Because "Anita" doesn't sound as mellifluous

I am beginning to feel like MR BK while he was directing 70 GIRLS 70.....

I shall not bore you with the details.....but nobody seems interested in doing this show or cares whether it happens or not.

I can't do it by myself and I am tired of the apathy of half the cast AND the backstage crew.

I am not sure now what the outcome will be - but I'm ready to quit....which of course, I can't do.

Yikes!

Thanks, Vixmom!

The fridge isn't new, but it is new to me.

I got it at an estate sale a couple of months ago, and had in my garage until I was able to free up space in my kitchen to move it in the house...which I now have.

This morning, Access-a-Ride will take me to the Lincoln Center post office to ship some packages I've been too poor to ship over the past three months. When I get home, I will dive into "Some People." We are doing all of Rose's songs first so keys for Audra can be determined.

Cool!

To show how influential HHW is -

There's so much talk of eating burritos here on HHW, so I'm going to have burritos for lunch.

What a coinkydink! I just drove through Taco
Bell and had one of their new Cantina Chicken Burritos. It was quite tasty.

Ladies and Gentlemen, AN IMPORTANT UPDATE:

I've given it much thought, and I decided that I do NOT have to go to the grocery store today.

Survival until tomorrow is definitely in the cards.

WHEW!! And all is right with the world!
