The alarm rang at 5:45 aqnd I decided to sleep in. Annabelle cuddled up next to me, I wrapped her in my arms and we fell asleep. When I woke, Thatch hadjoined us, and we slept some more. Annabelle finally sat up and then jumped off the bed. Thatch followed her, and I took that as a sign to get up. It was 7:15, and I'd had enough sleep as well.

I have no plans today. A couple of nights ago, I started watching on Amazon the first season of The Nanny, which I loved 30 years ago in its iitial run. I find I still love the cast, expecially Daniel Davis and Renee Taylor. The writing is like throwing pasta at the wall to see if it sticks; some it's topicality (Trump jokes, John John Kennedy) is dated and some lines land no better than the Hindenberg, but when the setups and jokes land, it's still very very very funny.

Jennifer Aniston says she hopes to do a Broadway play when the time is right and the right play comes along.
https://deadline.com/2025/06/jennifer-aniston-past-project-revisit-1236445200/
"'I definitely want to do a Broadway play,' she told the publication. 'That’s on my bucket list, but it’s finding the time and finding the right piece, the right material.'"

Jrand, asking this seriously, since she's tackled deeper roles effectively - Is she a possible Frances Farmer for the stage?



Someone on "another website" was referring to her performances in "Cake" (Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress) and "The Good Girl" as examples of her more serious work.

Oops, Keith only had to do the low fiber pre-colonoscopy for one day.  As a result I figured I was remembering my directions incorrectly and didn't need to begin my low fiber diet until tomorrow.  Nope, I should have begun it today.

I ate a few things I shouldn't have but I am probably ok.  I wouldn't be concerned at all if my doctor hadn't given me a prep I have never used.
