I just encountered my first bottle of black cherry Sparkling ICE. I liked it.

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.

Good!  I have to go back to Costco to see if they still have any.

I just read about a new app to rent a swimming pool near you in a private home.  The pools rent out by the hour.

We went to the new gym today.  Getting there and home was much faster.

Keith preferred all of the equipment.  I had pros & cons.

DR George do you plan to speak to your doctor to see if you can qualify for a booster shot?  And if so, which one?

I still haven’t gotten the 10-CD pack or The Sap of Life/Cole Porter III

All the ten-CD packs have gone out long ago - let me check on it - you did send a list, yes? She's still shipping Sap/Cole - she does about fifty a day and we had a LOT of orders.


I did send a list.

Back from a really fun lunch, catching up with Sami and her mom - first time I've seen Sami in a year.

We went to Casa Vega (she loves it there) - we shared some chili con queso dip - I didn't have that much - and I had a beef taco and an appetizer thing of taquitos with chicken - they were weird but I ate them - just two cut up in small pieces.

Now I'm back home and working on the show order for the Group Rep. There is a small package coming today, but it's an Amazon delivery so that schmo probably won't show up until the end of the day.

I'm not going to the Group Rep tonight to see Doug's playlet - not on two hours of sleep.

Has anyone besides me been watching this? I don't know if it was on PBS or not. I'm really loving it. I suspect a lot of the crew is from Downton Abbey. The music, which I disliked in Downton Abbey, is by the same composer, and all thart strings and piano throbbing sounds as though he just lifted it the first series.

Thanks for all The Beggar's Opera stuff. I'll try the Britten and maybe one of the others. But I suspect my love of the Gamley version is precisely because it is what it is.

BK, I have the Britten Beggar's Opera.  If you just want go hear it, I can rip it and send the MP3s when I get home (after playing Phase 10, of course ;) ).

I have the Roger Daltry DVD of Begger’s Opera that Elmore mentioned. I haven’t had time to watch it all the way through.

It is a good thing I have been wearing new shorts to the gym as my denim shorts are not permitted at the gym we switched to today.

i think "season 1" is the complete novel and there will be no season 2.
