DR Laura, I was prepared to steal "Ladder Goes Up and Down" for the title of an exciting chapter in my memoirs, but I shall probably have to settle for "Disappointing Conclusion Ahead" as having the ring of truth actually called for.

I took a summer school typing class when I was middle-school aged, and it has served me well ever since.

New, they call it "keyboarding."

George, if memory serves, Jerome Kern IV was an LP release that only had a handful of new tracks, coupled with stuff he'd already released. We included the new tracks on our other volumes, so a Kern IV was pointless.

That was my recollection, as well.

No, I hadn’t said anything yet.  It was the first time Richard and I had been to a movie theatre together since before the pandemic.  I’d been with girlfriends to see “Barbie” and he and Rob went to see something when we were all in Michigan in August.

We enjoyed the movie, which has quite a “rut roh” moment at the end.  It gave us a lot to talk about over the nice dinner we had afterwards at Bravo Italian Cucina.

I may read the novel before watching the movie. I'm happy to wait until I can stream it, I think.

I don't think I've been to a move theater since 2019.

Yes, the IBM Selectric was a fine piece of engineering.

Typing was what kept Richard from being sent to Vietnam as an Army enlistee in 1968.  He stayed in Germany as a clerk.

Wow, and fantastic.

It has cooled off significantly here today. No snow, though.

Since the building turned off the A/C some time ago, I am hoping this means I will sleep better tonight.

Since we're so close, should we just get to page 5?
