Had a weird dream. I was accompanying a friend on a transatlantic cruise to Europe where he was to be married. Just before the voyage, he was diagnosed with a heart condition that required he have no stress. His fiancée dumped him over the heart condition. He got engaged two more times and both ended quickly and painfully, which caused him stress. I told him that he should marry me. And reader, I married him.

Congrats on the dreamy marriage, John! ;D

Damn it to HELL. Would one of you fine people have a clean copy of the sheet music to "The Man That Got Away" that you could cleanly photograph or scan and send to me? The key word here being "cleanly". And in any key. I need it just as a guide for cleaning up and notating the horrible copy someone sent me. The aforementioned someone doesn't have a published copy and I'm not inspired to buy one.

The pond behind my house has become a battle zone for geese.

Such squabbling and fighting hasn't been seen here before this year.  I don't know whether there are simply too many ganders vying over the females or what.  Sometimes it starts in the early morning hours and continues throughout the day.

Yikes! :o Hopefully, they don't start attacking you, Ron!

My dad would always wear orange today, never green. That was a Catholic color. Orange was the color of Protestantism.

My dad wore green...Catholic until the end. ;)

A bookcase!

Putting it as plainly and as simply as I can (because, as we all know, I couldn't make myself any plainer if I was a Quaker on his day off):

I'm a bookcase whore, and I don't have room for one, either.

I have several bookcases but I need to get more shelves.  The stock wood at Loewe's or Home Depot are too deep, and they can't cut the depth.

I only have a handheld circular saw to use, but I don't want to cut all those lengths by hand with no easy-to-use guide. :P

Ah, encyclopedias.

One thing I really like, but it takes up some valuable wall space that another set of shelves could use, is an Encyclopedia Brittanica issued in 1962 or 1963 in a nice special edition commemorating both Queen Elizabeth and John F. Kennedy. We never had a GOOD encyclopedia when I was growing up, and when I saw this one sitting in a Goodwill one day about 20 years ago, I couldn't resist. It came in its own bookcase, as did other editions of same, but the bindings are more beautiful than their prior editions.

It's a nice piece, and still looks good, but I should let it go now. I haven't even taken a volume off the shelf to flip through it through most of these years. I was just a sucker for the fact that it was a Britannica and for the special commemoration. I still love the idea of it. Should probably take some photographic evidence...

My parents got a Britannica set sometime in the 1970s.  They eventually got rid of it, but I don't remember when.

Back from breakfast, shipping a big package, picking up two residuals - always a surprise. One I'm not sure would pay for a Happy Meal, but the other is a couple hundred bucks and that's always helpful.

That's great, BK!
