My fourth grade teacher didn’t like mysteries, so she forbade us to read them during our free period. She couldn’t stop us from bringing them into the classroom, because we could read them on the bus. But she would have, if she could.

Took a little trip from Yonkers to 14th Street yesterday evening. It was: interesting.This is a high school, and I'm happy to report they're utilizing pretty much the full pit of about twenty with student players and maybe five or six of us hired. It sounded a bit scrappy, tuning-wise, and hopefully that will improve over the next couple of nights. We're tucked rather efficiently into an alcove within the set. I'll have to try getting some photographic evidence.
I have lost about three years of my future.....so the upcoming decade looks bleak.
There’s still 93 ahead of me in line for Ina Garten’s memoir.
Today I saw some people doing work on the lot across the street. They had a kind of dirt-sifting screen. So I realized they were archaeologists who have to come check out any property under development to make sure there are not tribal remains. I thought, hey, that’s a story my readers might enjoy, so I went and interviewed them. They were so nice, a girl and guy fresh out of George’s alma mater, Western Washington U., working their dream gig.

From John:QuoteThere’s still 93 ahead of me in line for Ina Garten’s memoir.Wow, there are 22 people ahead of me for the eBook. I started at 57th and there are currently 45 people in the queue. My library also has 12 copies which helps.
And I think the HHW discussions of chicken dishes should at least be nominated for the Pullet Surprise.

She hated mysteries because they were always solved at the end.

Sending major health vibes for DR Iris. If you're reading anyway, Iris, maybe just drop a quick post every now and then. You have a community here that cares very much about you.
I made tamales once. Never again. You need an assembly line to make them in a decent amount of time.
Lots of sirens in the 'hood this morning....must be about two streets over.The pair of keets are not amused.
Oh my, I don't remember seeing this, but I must have. It's the kind of thing that was always cut out when they hour shows were trimmed to thirty minutes for syndication.What a bunch of talented kids. And watch Annette's turns in the tap number - that kid could DANCE!And we get to see a lot of the second team kids.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRdTTPhF1BI
