I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep.

Wonderful photos. And speaking of photos, the Darling Daughter sent me some.

Atlantic City opened here on April 10, 1981, just three weeks before we began shooting The Creature Wasn't Nice. I think we were all in pre-production at that point and we all went to Westwood to the Regent to see its opening show, just as we did for Body Heat, when that opened. Interestingly, Robert Goulet, who has a brief appearance in Atlantic City, would come visit his friend Leslie Nielsen during our shoot.

Why no one took photos is another story.

Went on a longer bike ride than usual as I wanted to listen to the newly released cast album of the new Andrew Lloyd Webber show "Cinderella" - and listen I did - to the entire thing.

While I don't judge a show entirely by its cast album - as I really feel  to make an opinion you need to see it in  its entirety on stage (or even a video).  I will say it needs another listen after I've read the synopsis.  But the initial reaction has been good so far.

DR George do you have space at home to put up a board or two of some of your collection?

I do...I just haven't done it.  Someday!

That's encouraging.  My copy has arrived(!) and I'll listen to it after I've finished BK's interview.

Yesterday DR JohnG asked if my dining out experience was a good one.

It was quite good. Although I was not expecting the place to be so full. The restaurants have only been open here indoors for like a month (since October). So I was expecting that it would be 50 or 70% capacity.  They did have plastic between each booth. And the waiters were wearing masks. But the distance across the aisle to the next table was closer than I would have preferred. But the person's back was to me. And I was able to sit in the middle of my booth.

Thanks. Masks are almost nowhere to be seen here nowadays.

That is shocking to me.

[Jennifer]

It sounds like a good experience.  I found it takes a bit of getting used to.  I like the dividers between the booths for privacy as well as avoiding covid.

It does. And I think that it will take me longer as I have been overly cautious.

[Jennifer]

With the Delta variant on the rise I am trying to be better about wearing my mask.  The gym is still too hot.

Are there places inside that you no longer have to wear your mask?  Interestingly the government announced yesterday that starting September 1st if things were to get worse they only double vaccinated people will be able to do certain things. They mentioned restaurants, bars and gyms as they are trying to get 18-29 year olds to get vaccinated.

John lives in Texas   I think more people are still wearing them in Washington, at least by me.

Technically that is what the rule is here, vaccinated people mask free while unvaccinated need to wear a mask.  The problem is businesses can't or won't ask. 

These days the majority of people are not wearing masks here though I think the numbers have gone up in the past week.  If we walk into a restaurant and it is busy then I want my mask on until we sit down, not busy I don't bother.  The staff are mostly masked.

[bk]

All business workers here are masked. And at the places I frequent, many are still masked, me not being one of them. I don't care if a restaurant is busy or not - walking to the table masked isn't going to get me infected by anything, let alone Covid. But people need to do what makes them comfortable and I'm fine with whatever that might be, as long as no one looks askance in my direction.

[bk]

Picked up a package - the re-ordered correct size sneakers, which I'm happy to say fit perfectly.

[bk]

Then I did some banking (one teller - thankfully only two ahead of me), picked up my dry cleaning - the laundered stuff hadn't come back yet, so I'll get that batch in the morning. I hadn't been to the dry cleaners in a year and four months. Thankfully, I have a LOT of clothes and if I was at home, I just wore t-shirts, which she of the Evil Eye washes.

It is the crowd at the door while waiting to be seated that I try to avoid.  No crowd, no concerns.

[bk]

Had my first McDonald's in over a year - just wanted quick and easy and it was fine and within my 1200 calories, although I can't eat anything else.

[Jane]

Well concerns, but I stay relaxed about it.

[bk]

Jane, I haven't had the experience of a crowd at a door because I tend to go at off times.

Do you own a washer & dryer?

Yes, you go late.  We tend to go between 4:00 & 5:00, closer to happy hour.  It varies how busy it is.
