Last year we had the family come for a celebration dinner. But that was an anniversary that ended with a "0."

[Jane]

I expect you will enjoy it very much.  It was a big treat the two times we did take out, our anniversary and again for Keith's birthday.

I am very glad there wasn't a pandemic for our major "0" anniversary and birthdays.

[Jane]

We have a high winds warning beginning around 5:00 and lasting until mid day tomorrow.

Thank you, all. He just went to get Chinese food. It will be our first since the shutdown began.

That sounds yummy, DR Laura.  Enjoy!

Happy Anniversary, DR Laura!

We celebrated Rob and Mary Linda’s 9th anniversary last Friday with a pizza party.

[Jane]

Yum.

New cast stories are up.

It was supposed to be 98 degrees today, but it's 90, so that's a bit of relief.

[John G.]

I think I still have 2:20 in which to watch Thomas Ades’ The Tempest from The Met. The overture, with Ariel like a Cirque de Soleil performer writhing over the waters, was visually impressive.

I think you can get in and start it right up to about 6:30 eastern. You don’t have to be *finished* by then, just get it started.

[ChasSmith]

I’ll have to catch that one another time.

[John G.]

I’ll have to catch that one another time.

It’s amazing. Ariel’s voice is like an octave above normal, like something that would hurt a dog’s ear. When she started bow wowing at the end of the first scene, it was hilarious and otherworldly.

[bk]

Decided on three beef tacos from Casa Vega, called the order in, ten minutes later picked it up, two minutes later was back home eating it - fantastic, as always, and 750 calories in all.  They did give some chips and salsa so I can do a couple hundred calories of that later for a little snack.

I'll finish up the cast stories on Wednesday - and will do a Doug Haverty story as well that day.  Then on Thursday, prior to our test, I'll give a shout out to as many Kritzerland performers as I can remember.

[bk]

Been a relaxing day thus far.  Just the way I wanted it. 

[bk]

Listening to Ruth Gipps' fifth symphony - terrible live recording, but that's all there is.

[bk]

But then I have the second and fourth symphonies to hear and those are professional recordings that are wonderfully done.

And you got your drive for the day accomplished

It got to 81 degrees inside the house - so I had to turn the air on about 4 p.m.

I will let it run for awhile.....still 80 degrees outside.

Must see this.

I ended up going back to sleep last night after my last post and slept until 10 am

I was going to have my hamburger(s) Hamlet #11-style this afternoon, but this morning I remembered there's no bacon in the house, and I'm absolutely not going out for anything today. That's okay. I'm still going to experiment with these by having one with Russian and one with Thousand, and we'll see what verdict the jury comes back with.

I think DR Jane said she never liked Russian as much, and I generally agree with that. I enjoy Russian on sandwiches just fine, but a good Thousand is just so much more delicious. Hell, I can eat it out of the bottle.

It's funny, though. Maybe it's because back in the early 1970s I was confused as to what Russian really was -- but in my mind's eye, I clearly see those hamburgers as having Thousand on them. The difference in color, at least in the bottled ones I know now, is really distinctive.

I never said "as much", only the part about not liking Russian dressing  

Stats hamburgers had Thousand Island on them?  Did you ever eat there?  I don't recall what year they closed.

I don't remember Russian dressing on the Hamlet burgers, but then why would I when I would have either asked for, or just made my own Thousand Island on them.

I think I ate at a Stats (were there more than one?) in ‘75 or ‘76. I’m thinking somewhere on Wilshire Blvd., but can’t quite bring it into focus.

Today I spent the day trying to find a new microwave cart

[vixmom]

After visiting Home Depot, Lowe’s, Walmart, HomeGoods, Target, The Christmas Tree Shop, Costco, CVS and BJs  I had a new kettle, a box of donut shop decaf Keurig pods, a sleeve of onion bagels, a prescription for Vixdad, a nice conversation with a young man who allowed me to take a picture of his Model A auto,and aforementioned picture

[vixmom]

But no microwave cart

[vixmom]

The one we have now was purchased in February 1987

[vixmom]

But it is in need of replacement
