Vixdad is going for carpal tunnel surgery in July

I wish him the same great success and recovery as my friends who have done this.

DR Vixmom does Vixdad need both hands done or just one?

I attempted to post one of my favorite photos of Montana.  Of course it is too large.  On the amazing drive between Glacier Nation Park and Butte we stopped at this little country store in the middle of nowhere.  Out back was this incredible view of the mountains and three horses lying down in front of a pond.

I think I would follow your lead.

Got a pot of potato and herb soup on the stove. Smells good.

That is good.  I know many who have needed both done.

I have been listening to a modern day social satire called Seating Arrangements about a wedding among a certain layer of the upper crust. It's been going on for a bit too long, and I still have a little to go. The author just made a terrible faux pas that says she isn't of this echelon and doesn't entirely understand it. Her main character, hardly a hero, has ordered "a gin martini." Anyone from that social stratum would know that martini is made with gin. A vodka martini is something else entirely. What, I don't know.

Makes me long for my Edith Wharton. She knew exactly what she was talking about she lived it.

Back from a good rehearsal. Our author saw it and laughed and seemed happy. ALL the humor in it is me and the actors - not much was in the script.

I had a bacon and cheese omelet at Hugo's with a side Caesar salad - the salad wasn't as tasty as usual but the omelet was very good.

Just bought my ticket for In the Heights tomorrow. Showtime is at 9 p.m. I hope I can stay awake.

Wow - that would be pushing it for me. I'm usually in bed by 9:00 and passed out no later than 9:30pm.

I just noticed that In The Heights is only streaming on HBO Max until July 11, after which, presumably, it will disappear.

Darn.  I didn't know that.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Watched to the intermission. Quite enjoyable, even if the material (Pretty Woman) is occasionally questionable.

I have never seen a studio work so hard to shove a film down everyone's anxious throats. A humungous number of advance screenings for fans, the eight-minute clip, the HBO Max - it's relentless and is costing a TON of dough. I get very suspicious with stuff like that - Rent was the same way.

Then again, most of the reviews seem to be love letters in one way or another. I know everyone LOVED the director's first film, Crazy Rich Asians - I didn't last fifteen minutes with it. But, I'll see this at some point.
