I hated losing the heat in the winter, especially when we were afraid the cold would kill the goldfish. It didn't.

I have memories of eating the ice cream super fast, pure torture

I'd like to share that pain with you.

Listening to The Lightning Thief, which I'm ushering for tonight. Not a bad score, as far as conveying the story goes, but it's busy, a little too much like Cliff's Notes.

I wonder if Rick Riordan is going to be in the audience tonight. The man who wrote the Percy Jackson books lives here in San Antonio.

DR John I am reading OVERSTORY. Do the stories connect to an event at the end?

Bruce I shared something on facebook then tagged you. I hope you see it. If I could figure out how I would have posted it here.

Good afternoon (and morning on the West coast).

I was still awake at around 5:30.

Naturally, that is when I fell into a deep sleep.

I awoke at 8:00 a.m. with Nicky yelling in my face.

The Fourth was very nice, but yesterday and today, not so much.

T.O.D.

The three traumatic events in my life all occurred in the first half of the 1960's.

In 1962, we had the infamous Columbus Day storm. The worst part was we didn't even know it was coming. I can remember hearing on the news that evening about this huge wind storm in Oregon, but they never mentioned it was coming here. I went off to the movies and my mom went off to a meeting at church. Suddenly, around eight o'clock, this storm just hit. All the power went out all over the Northwest, trees were falling all over town, and the wind gusts were as high as 100 mph.

The owner of the theater wasn't going to let anyone leave until we had gotten hold of our parents to come pick us up. This was our neighborhood theater and we all knew Mr. Spencer and his wife, and they knew all of us. Luckily, just then, my mom stopped at the theater on her way home from church. It was a very scary night, but we had no damage to our home except the garbage can with the garbage in it, blew away.

In 1965, we had the big Northwest Earthquake.

TCB · « **Reply #80 on:** July 06, 2019, 11:20:53 AM »

in between those two natural disasters, we had the Kennedy assassination, which was just as traumatic as the other two events.

The laundry is finished and Thatch and I have been lying in front of the fan. Stella is asleep on a chair, and Annabelle is up in one of her hideaways. I can see her ears.

I am feeling very fortunate as I read the stories of the other DRs.

BK will love this:

I go to the AccuWeather page, and what do I see “trending”?

People are reporting POOL RIPPLES!!!

Cherry-blueberry pie is in the oven. Dealing with the homemade crust wasn't so bad, but I really do dread lattice-topped pies. They never look good going in the oven and sometimes look worse upon removal. I guess I need one of those tools things that you press down like a giant cookie cutter and it cuts the lattice out for you.

Williams Sonoma wants $20 for one. A little much for how little I would use it.
