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

Yes.

Thanks.  Except for the Martian Chronicles I am not a big fan of books that are just short stories.  I will continue to read.

I enjoy short stories, especially Fredric Brown's, as well as other science fiction.

Interesting show tonight. The Lightning Thief followed the novel fairly well, but there was so much exposition that the fun stuff became mere highlights to make room for a couple of uninteresting power ballads and one funny production number in Hades. You practically had to know the book for some of it to make sense. And a couple of performers, especially the Dionysus character, were poorly mic'd. But the sold-out crowd loved every moment of it. Their reactions were genuine, not the phony hoops and hollers that BK laments so often.

Towards the end of the show, the Percy Jackson character was about to start a song when the house lights came up and there was an announcement for the actors to leave the stage. Something seemed to be wrong with the lighting. When the problem was fixed. The actor playing Percy walked onstage and said, "As I was saying ..." before launching into his song.

I was on a clipper ship off the coast of Maine when Ike stormed through. We sailed into a supposedly safe port along with Ringo Starr’s yacht and a handful of other clippers. Trying to sleep through the storm was hard. Then everything went dead calm. Trying to sleep through that was more unnerving. The next day we sailed back to port a day early and the cruise ended.

The unwanted entertainment on a cruise.  I have been in a few storms.  So far we have not missed a port due to a severe storm.  We couldn't tender to locations due to high winds even though we were fine on the ship.

DR Druxy driving through the fire must have been very scary, especially totaling the car.  Did your ex have to abandon her car or did she manage to make it out first?

We were in 2 different cars.  I had my 1 year-old son, my wife's mother, teenage daughter and our cat with me.  My wife had her son, other daughter, our dog and our pet rat with her.

We didn't know what happened to them for hours.  I went with my car and passengers to my cousin's home in Brentwood.  My wife and her kids "ran through flames" to escape.

Her car got towed.  Found it and the pet rat (unharmed) the next day in the back seat.  The dog was found running around in a field a day later.

Except for the totaled new car, thankfully insured, there was no other injuries.

That they were all ok was a miracle.  It must have been terrifying searching for them.

Here's the latest on the missing check:
Invoiced for $150 on June 14
Check made out on June 25; never arrives
Second check mailed on July 3
Original check arrives on July 6; amount correct
Second check just arrived; amount incorrect.

I am convinced the postman delivered it to the wrong street and the recipient dropped it into a post box to get to the correct person.  I have received in June two packages for 202 West 81st, not 202 West 82nd.

At least one of the checks is correct.

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

Me, too!

Yup.  I have been in a major earthquake,  dealt with major rain storms, driven through scary snow storms, and half slept through a tornado.... but nothing was ever a hard hit where I was.

We are watching the first episode of GOOD OMENS

I want to watch that.  I really like David Tennent...even his non-Doctor Who stuff. ;D

He is excellent and captures the character.   Did you read the book?

Yes, I did, but it's been a couple of years, so I don't remember many details.

Keith was funny when he mentioned wanting to watch it tonight and seemed very surprised   I had read the book.  He kept trying to tell me the plot and confirming it was the same.

I then went to Goodreads and showed him all of the Neil Gaimen books I have read.  I admit at first I forgot Terry Pratchett co-wrote it.

I read it in January and thought it might be too soon to watch.  So far it is great, better than I expected from the previews.

I'm looking forward to it...but I have some regular TV shows to ketchup on first.

Tonight I watched a 2006 film on Amazon Prime called EARTHSTORM.  It stars Stephen Baldwin and Dirk Benedict, so I won’t comment on the performances.  But it was an enjoyable far fetched film about the moon splitting in half, or something like that.

Tracy went with her step-mom to see MAMMA MIA tonight.  She was supposed to call me when she got home and tell me how she liked it.  I guess she forgot.

No, I'm not going to be able to.  I wanted to, though.  I have several things to do tomorrow.

I read a book called Seveneves about the moon breaking into seven pieces.  It was really good but long...the hardback is 880 pages!
