Independence Day greetings! We're taking sort of a day off today. Took the bus to Sarabeth's Kitchen for a lovely brunch and are back in time for Richard to attend the noon services at St. Mary's while I ice my very sore knee. We have a 5:30 reservation for supper at 54 Below, followed by a 7pm performance there of 1776.

Correction: That would be Rolling Meadows, IL, not Arlington Heights.

DR Jrand67, I can well imagine both you and DR Ginny getting that kind of fireworks ambiance in the towns where the two of you live.

Yes, DR ChasSmith, apparently there was a great fireworks display in Smith Park last night and today there's a parade from Woodside Cemetery to Smith Park. We're not there...

DR Elmore, sorry to hear about your supermarket, but glad to hear about the interest in the stories.

I just had a nice July 4 surprise. Since Monday I've sent fourteen agent submissions for the Annabelle & Thatch stories. Most of the responses were "thank you; if interested we'll get back to you in 8-10 weeks." This morning, an agency asked to see them.

Wow! That is fantastic.

It is, and may that or other responses lead to something wonderful. These episodes strike me as a perfect form of fantastical animal storytelling, and it seems to have come very naturally to you.

I am back from our closest Big Supermarket and very unhappy. I was pushing my cart around, thinking, Wow! They've really cleaned out for the Fourth. Nope. The store is closing on Saturday. Now there is no supermarket on Broadway between 96th and 74th Street. That's ridiculous.

This is incredible.

Do you suspect the usual rent increase as the reason, or some other culprit?

I would hate for the market near us to close.

The rent is my suspicion. when the Barnes & Noble opened at 82nd and Broadway, a lot of small businesses folded because the landlords hiked the rents.

Started watching Wait for Your Laugh, a documentary about Rose Marie. Wonderful career and great anecdotes from meeting "Uncle Al" Capone to life on the road.

There's also a great clip of Durante singing one of his songs that was included in "The New Yorkers."

They lied. Again. They're such liars.

I do believe today's temperature is indeed equaling that of the last couple of days, and I think tomorrow's will as well.

Lying liars.

Yes DR JANE....that is what I heard as well...and so I am putting it to the test....one step at a time.

Last night, I took my niece to the local(ish) drive-in and saw Adrift and Ocean's Eight. I got home after 2:00 a.m., and after feeding my cat, I went straight to bed.

George · « **Reply #77 on:** July 04, 2018, 01:15:56 PM »

Both movies were pretty good...very different from each other, but I didn't care for Ocean's Eight as much as I though I would. Oh, well. My niece enjoyed them.

George · « **Reply #78 on:** July 04, 2018, 01:16:58 PM »

Have a Happy (and safe!) 4th of July, everyone!

That's terrible.

How much farther is the next closest supermarket?

There's Broadway Farms, a smaller grocery with good produce, but not close to the scale of the Gristedes that's closing only three blocks away, but they don't have the good prices of the Gristedes chain. There's a nice Gristedes at Columbus Avenue and Columbus but that's a schlep for me as a walker.
