Today would have been Kerry's birthday. I took him an Oreo cake (his favorite) on his last birthday.

Well, coconut cake was his favorite, but I don't like coconut. Oreo cake was his second favorite.

It could be a lazy afternoon, except that I have a birthday party to attend at 2 p.m.

Miss Audrey James Moore, a cousin, is now 4 years old and having a party.

I wouldn't miss it for anything.


Have a great time, Ron!

So, someone has rewritten the book to Brigadoon. Why? Not enough PTSD in it? Not enough nudity? Not enough kilts?

WTH??  Maybe it's too "woke"?? :o

Can’t be. The town sleeps for 100 years each night.


LOL!  Fabulous!

elmore, I wish they could afford it, too - I wish they could afford a lot of things, including paying ME and the actors something. Alas. Not sure you could get it all done in time even if they did, but I know it would sound better than trying to use random band charts. Of course, you could then go to the Estate and say you have them and see if they'd make a deal - but I don't think they care if it's just a piano.


Do you think they care more about how Ira Levin's book and lyrics come off than the composer's work?

Thanks DR Iris.  Basically your only preference of the airports is convenience for flights.  Good to know.

Oh, and Craig is in Silver Springs.

I can't believe the Lerners or the Loewe Foundation allowed it, but I guess once the original authors are dead, anything for a fast buck.


This was, er, an exclusive interview with the "Ghost of Alan Jay Lerner" who was hanging out at Vassar having mixed feelings watching them develop the gender-switched ON A CLEAR DAY - which you may know had Davey Gamble instead of Daisy Gamble.

I think he is about the same distance between BWI & National.  Dulles is a bit farther.

Amazon just delivered a carton containing two household items: an order of three Palmolive dish washing liquid soap and three packs of Scotch all-purpose washing pads. The idiot who packed the carton threw the three bottles of liquid soap[ into the carton, tossed in the Scotch pads, and covered the tems with a long strip of paper for whatever.

During the tossings and turnings of a delivery, one of the bottles of soap opened and I just opened the carton to find everything coated in dishwashing liquid soap. Why the fat hell can someone so careless about secure packing be working at that job?

TOD:

As much as I love to cook, I would rather eat out.

You are fortunate to have a selection of good restaurants to choose from.

So . . . I called Amazon to complain because I can find nowhere on Amazon a page to complain about an order. The nice lady I spoke to could offer me a refund or replacement but that's about it. I told I wanted neither; I want the asshole who packed my order made into a rug and replaced.

Not really a fan of dark chocolate. ::)

I never was until I got GERD and dark chocolate does not cause the same reaction.  I still don't care for most dark chocolate.

This is a nice memory, and his second favorite cake was perfect if it meant you ate it with him.

We got mangos and blueberries in our produce box this morning. So I'll make muffins for church tomorrow. We are doing a blood drive, so it's good to have a snack ahead of time.

Interesting about the snacks ahead of the blood draw.  I always thought they were given after.

Oh, and Craig is in Silver Springs.

I lived and worked in Silver Spring for many years.
I flew out of Reagan/National often, and Dulles on coast to coast flights.
BWI would also be a good choice, about one hour away, all depending upon traffic.

Amazon’s once excellent customer service has significantly deteriorated, based on my experience. I try to avoid ordering from them, but sometimes they’re my only choice.

I tried Instacart a few days ago, and used them to order from Walmart, which is about 25 minutes from me.

Imagine my surprise when I noticed a $7.00 “long distance delivery fee”.

They sent the shopper to a Walmart one hour away from me, much closer to Washington, DC, than to Baltimore.

I called to complain, only to be told nothing could be done about it.

If one is to believe the forecast, it will be in the 80s by Wednesday.

Wow!  We're supposed to get some sn*w over the next several days!

He’s closer to National, but BWI is an option.
Most flights in and out of BWI are on Southwest.
