That’s a goldmine of a find, G!
Wonderful links, DR George. Thank you.
And then back to our isolated hamlet in the USA.

DR John G. - those folks I would have recognized. But they were not on the episode of Squares that I saw.
Speaking of the theater world... this song has been sung better by theater folk. But this is still fun.

I slept right through the night for a change, but I still feel like the proverbial truck ran over me.

I am at the airport in Tahiti preparing to fly back to LA.
And then to Vancouver, BC.
Wonderful links, DR George. Thank you.
Wonderful links, DR George. Thank you.
Ditto! Thanks, George, for posting them!

Sending more travel vibes!
While my throat is somewhat better and I can talk without pain, my esophagus is still hurting somewhat.
DR George, I have not seen any of those links before. Thank you! Doug and Phil were wonderful collaborators, and I'm quite fond of them. We all want to see more happen with the ballet, but things are very quiet at the moment. I suspect the current administration anmd the idiot running it have got all major performance groups wondering where things stand financially for 2026.

The school's last production was Bizet's wonderful opera Carmen. I watched a few moments, and I may watch the whole shebang over the next couple of days. It looks good.
Nice links DR GEORGE.

Thank you for the links, DR George. And for the IU link again, DR Elmore. Let me get past this opening weekend, and I'll be more than ready to jump back into that again.
No more late night grilled cheese, I guess... :)

So far I have seen two fives, and now a six, from friends.
I slept right through the night for a change, but I still feel like the proverbial truck ran over me.
So naturally, since last night was perfect for it, this evening we are expecting storms to come through.
Naturally.
We'll see what happens. Timing, of course, is everything.
What does everyone think about celebrities slumming (cashing in? selling out?) on game shows? I'm thinking Drew Carey hosting The Price is Right, or Jay Leno on Hollywood Squares.
It's probably easy money for them. I don't begrudge them the money. But do they really need it that badly?
While my throat is somewhat better and I can talk without pain, my esophagus is still hurting somewhat.
Vibes for complete healing.

Glad I'm not alone in that, then. ;)
Feel better soon, Jane!
ATTENTION:
The kitten's name is Snowdrop.
That is all.
That's all good news, Jane. I mean, I'm sorry it's chronic, but I'm so glad it's not cancer.
Snowdrop is Victorian flower language, is what I was told.
I forgot to tell you all that we had a very nice monsoon storm last night. About .15 of an inch of rain. It was so nice.

Still stuffed up, but haven't coughed, thankfully.
Speaking of food ...
That classic Hugh Martin vocal arrangement!

On this day in 2008, we had lunch with DR Ron Pulliam in San Francisco and then went and got married.
My DH went to the restaurant grocery store and brought home a five-pound bag of shaved parmesan, asiago, and romano cheese.
And a pound of cilantro and a pound of basil.
And three pounds of limes.
And three pounds of baby lettuces.
Feel-better vibes to Jane and Bruce and anyone else who is feeling poorly.
I am in recuperation mode, ie, I’m being a couch potato. Yesterday I had some outpatient surgery — not painless, but it went smoothly. I’m doing well, but need to take it easy for a few days. An overdue break for R&R. I’m happy to curl up with a book or watch a movie or post here. I’m not allowed to drive yet or even take a shower. So perhaps an overripe couch potato. 🥔
I made an offer on a condo. The seller came down in price and I moved up. The agent discounted his commission. We each gave up something. I thought that at last this offer might fly. But it was not to be. The seller balked at paying the buyer’s commission, which is customary in California. That added another $13,000 to the sales price, which I felt was already inflated. I like the unit, would like to buy in that building, but feel that the seller is being unrealistic and trying to take advantage. He wants an outrageously good deal.

I am still tossing more out. When I’m not pouring over 40 pages of legalese of the California real estate sales contract, a very comprehensive document.

I'm impressed you are still tossing more out. I try but it hurts to let go ;D
Good luck with the contract.
I wonder if your friend's collection included any photos of Miss Allison Hayes?
You must of course immediately go through them all and check.

Remember I had a lot of my neighbor’s stuff to go through. His partner was a photographer and there were hundreds of photos and slides, including some interesting Hollywood memorabilia. And my stuff.
I have new neighbors downstairs and they are readers. I will give them a bag of my discards.
DR JANE I do not understand the phrase "letting go" - please elaborate.
I’ve already had some “refuser’s remorse.”
The internet tells me that the town fireworks will start tonight at about 9:15 pm. So I may move to the front porch at that time.
Because of all of the tall trees between my house and the park I can only see the fireworks that go the HIGHEST.....but I can certainly hear them.
So much history gets lost. It’s a shame.
DR JANE I want to go there with a group of HHW'ers.
I do not have a photo of my grandfather, my mother's father. Someone had to have had at least one photo but never passed it on to my mother.
Continued good news vibes for DR JANE.
Opening night vibes for DR CHAS SMITH & Co.
On this day in 2008, we had lunch with DR Ron Pulliam in San Francisco and then went and got married.
And perhaps in the not-too-distant future, it won't be again.
I celebrated Pride Month by using napkins from Chik-fil-A to clog the toilets at Hobby Lobby.

I don't have a photo of my paternal grandfather, but that's because he and my grandmother divorced and he was erased from the family history. When my grandmother died we checked and there was not a photo of him to be found. I'm hoping some of my cousins might have photos of a bunch of the siblings, including him, but no luck yet. The closest I've gotten are photos of his parents and some of his brothers.
I'm really sorry about your deal, DR Jeanne.

A Very Hapoy Anniversary to you and your DH!!
Happy Anniversary to DR singdaw & Jayson.
Thanks for all the wishes! We usually celebrate the date of our first ceremony, in 1990, which was not legal but which both sets of parents attended.
Why not celebrate everything passing by?
Glad Little Boy's ears are ok.

I, on the other hand, would not be caught dead in a bathing suit.

Has anyone read Isabel Allende’s Of Love and Shadows?
It was a day of travel. My DH is now home, too.
