Still no sleep luck. I guess I am meant to sleep during the day.

Dr Glickman's office just called.  The surgery is now scheduled for Monday, June 1.

Good!

George, do you have Disney +?

Lin-Manuel Miranda has announced that the film of the original Hamilton cast will be aired July 3.

I don't and I just saw that about an hour ago!  I might join for a month just for that...unless they have a free trial period. ;)

Some years back I joined Classmates which I thought was beautifully designed. It included seemingly every school in existence, year by year, and I began finding people. But it lost its charm because of its incessant barrage of spam and up-sell email. And then I found that my high school classmates were on Facebook instead, so I began dipping my toes into those waters.

It’s too bad that so much was bad or annoying about it, because it was a magnificently structured database for its stated purpose, unlike anything else we have. Had it become well populated, it would be a priceless resource.

I agree about Classmates.  It should have been so much more than it became.  Initially it was free and only high school classmates.  By the time they added elementary & jr. high you had to pay a membership fee to contact members.  When I saw an elementary school friend that I lost contact with after she moved, I immediately paid the fee and contacted her.  She was thrilled as I was one of the friends she was hoping to find.  Since then we have met in various places, L.A., Chicago, Northern California, & near Seattle.

That's a great story, Jane.

Tuesday afternoon greetings!  We did a Kroger pick-up this morning and, this afternoon, I took my almost-year-old car in for its 3000 mile service.  I’m sure they were laughing about the little old lady who, apparently, doesn’t drive very much.

Don't feel so bad.  I average about 6000 miles a year.  I also need to bring mine in for servicing, though.  It's been a couple of years. ::)

You can often get access to some of the pricey genealogy databases with a card from a public library.

DR ChasSmith, are you thinking of Heritage Quest?

Timberland Library offers these (and some are free):

My contribution to Limerick Day:

A man whose affairs were quite rife.
Said: "This Covid has ruined my life.
I saw a nice mask
And after I asked
Found I propositioned my wife."

:)) Funny, Jrand!

That was me before I was old.  When I would take my 10 year old car in for service I was constantly asked if I had reset the odometer.

My odometer broke about 3 1/2 years ago.  I haven't gotten it fixed. ::)

I also watched a BBC film version of Trouble in Tahiti. Very entertaining. Really good sound to it.

I really like that opera.  I also have Bernstein's A Quiet Place that incorporates Trouble in Tahiti as a flashback.

Evidently, there's a new recording/revisal of A Quiet Place that doesn't use the flashback. :-\

He was a cut-up that Zarathustra.  Always good for a laugh or two, especially when eating a pretzel.
