Well, you've read the notes, the notes were the last of August, and now it is time for you to post until the last of August cows come home.

And the word of the day is: BOLD!

Topic of the Day: nothing healthy.

Probably burgers-of-the-ham that have no ham.

Notes divined. Slaked.

Movie described in notes sounded bad.

I really haven’t the stomach for that sort of horror anymore.

One thing i discovered in Japan is I don’t have the stomach for going up on tall observatories and such either. We went up to Shibuya Sky. Great view of Tokyo, but I was getting waves of vertigo. Had to just sit down while the fam looked out the glass.

And the vertigo lasted another couple days afterwards. No more towers for me.

Good morning, all!

I slept rather well. I may have been restless since annabelle abandonmed her princess pillow to sleep at the foot of the bed.

I cannot stand heights. I get vertigo looking at photos taken from the observation decks on both the Empire State Building and the World Trade Center, which always gave me a bad vibe. I'm not clairvoyant, but I never liked being at the World Trade Center. It brought up fears of subway disasters and burials, and I always felt uneasy there. In 1983-84, I worked for about a year at Classic Books on Sixth Avenue and 50th(?) Street. At one point the management sent me down to their World Trade Center store for a week. I couldn't wait to get back uptown. One of my best friends from Middletown worked in the building that collapsed after the Trade Center fell. For years, he would suggest I come down for lunch, and I always turned him down out of God knows what anxiety about the area.

I finished "Some People" last night. Next up, whenever I get it from Joshie, is "Small World."

DR John G, I'm looking forward to more stories. I loved the tale of your mother's cookie recipe.

Last night, I was cruising Amazon Prime for a movie and ended up watching Ang Lee's glorious Sense and Sensibility, which I hadn't seen in maybe ten years. I think it may be my all-time favorite Jane Austen adaptation. I had forgotten how wonderful the cast is, from Imelda Staunton's silly Charlotte Palmer - I'm not always crazy about her as an actress - and her loathing husband played by Hugh Laurie to Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant. Elizabeth Spriggs, a character actress I love is marvelous as Mrs Jennings, and Alan Rickman's Colonel Brandon breaks my heart.

I do love that version as well, Elmore. I may have to rewatch my dvd
