Well, you've read the notes, the notes had speed and writing and a few dummies, and now it is time for you to post until the dummy cows come home.

Today, I'm ushering at the Kenneth J. Minnaert Center Main Stage at Sound Puget Sound Community College for Inspired to Move Dance Academy’s 4th Annual Spring Recital, "Dance the Year Away!"  My call time is 4:30 and we're scheduled until 7:30.  I need to wash my shirt and mask, but my pants are clean enough.

I haven't heard anything about when they'll be able to open up concessions.  Hopefully, that'll happen sooner rather than later.  I'd rather work concessions at the SPSCC space than usher. ::)

I'm reading (re-reading?) Christopher Gillett's books. Amusing and candid. I'm wondering at how candid he actually is. Isn't he worried about wanting to continue to work in the opera world? Composer Tan Dun doesn't come off very well.

Tomorrow I'm substituting playing a church service, so I must finish preparing for it today.

Fortunately, it's just on piano (I'd have to do some serious work to get back to competently playing an organ, which I haven't done in a few decades), the music for tomorrow is easy, and I'm familiar with their routine.

I have a recipe calling for nigella seeds, which I didn't have. So I have been looking for acceptable substitutes, which include celery seed, oregano, black sesame seeds and cumin seeds, all of which I have.

I was weeding around the spice cabinet and found an unopen jar of something called Charnushka from India. I read the back of the jar to see how to use it. Turns out it's nigella seeds.

I think I have a good idea how to use it.

I would just like to take this opportunity to say that the amount of spam email coming to me increased notably two or three days ago, and it continues unabated.

I'm aware of this because I monitor it every day and keep my spam folder cleared out -- reason being, neither Gmail nor Apple Mail is consistent or competent at following my instructions regarding certain things that are not spam, and certain things that are. I have to watch what's going in there so as not to lose the two or three good things that, after a couple of days since I've "corrected" it yet again, begin falling right back into that accursed folder.

But man, there's been a big increase in the real spam. For whatever reason.

By my estimation, we're in for six consecutive days of AC use (it was originally four), which is kind of a long spell for us here.

I thought we'd be turning them on this evening, but it feels like it's about time right now. It's too bad, because the temperature is pleasant enough. But it's muggier than all hell, and I hear all hell can get pretty bad.

A few years ago, I read a fun novel called Pride, Prejudice and Other Flavors, which took Austen and put her in an Indian setting. Now I'm listening to the sequel, Recipe for Persuasion, which focuses on a minor character from the first novel. It's not too much like Persuasion. It's it's own work. And it's really enjoyable.

Watched the Red Riding trilogy, which I finally located in the garage. It's very dark but satisfying in the end. The first time I watched it it was occasionally like watching a foreign film due to the heavy Yorkshire accents - this time I was smart and turned on the subtitles. When I first watched it I didn't know who the lead was in the first movie - now I do: Andrew Garfield. Jim Carter is also in it (he of Downton Abbey), and a few other actors who are known. My favorite performance is by Paddy Considine, and actor I don't know at all - he has a real Dirk Bogarde vibe to him. Superb. More in the notes.

Well, the dance event went well.  People were masked and no one complained.

It lasted a little over an hour and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

I was going to drive through the west side Wendy's.  However, when I got there, they had a sign on their ordering kiosk saying that some equipment malfunctioned, but that they'd be open at 8:30 the next morning.

I certainly wasn't going to wait that long, nor get there that early, so I decided to go to the Subway in Tumwater that's closest to my house.

I'm there now enjoying my diet Coke after eating half a meatball marinara sub sandwich.

Now, I'm going to continue to enjoy my diet Coke and read my Kindle in the very pleasantly air conditioned Subway restaurant, until I'm ready to head back out into the heat o' the sun (a The Frogs reference...among others ;) ) and go home.

If I'm still not ready, I could walk around Fred Meyer for a while, too.

It's still pretty warm in my bedroom, but it's cooling as the sun has now sunk below the horizon.

I'm sitting at my Windows XP computer, watching a previous episode of Antiques Roadshow, after watching the PBS showing of She Loves Me.

isn’t it a waste of time to take CD’s to a desert island.  There won’t be any electricity.

Since my Windows XP computer is no longer Internet capable, I'm moving files from that to a flash drive so that I can work on them on my Windows 10 computer.
