Back from breakfast - bacon and cheese omelet and home fries - then a trip to the used CD store - got some operas, quite a few, actually, for the credit balance plus two full cards (they stamp a card for each purchase) so that was sixteen bucks off, as well - so, I put out about eight bucks cash.

Then to Gelson's - got bagels, cream cheese, and was going to get Boboli pizza crust - now, they always have tons of them - so, I write about it in the notes and suddenly they're completely sold out. Coincidence, I don't think so, but we'll do a little test in tomorrow's notes.

I am completely wrecked, however, and can barely walk straight and my brain is not currently functioning AND it's broiling hot out, which is really irritating. Hey, weather, summer's over, you know.

Someone on Facebook's "On the 20th Century" fan page posted audio of Betty Comden as Letiticia Primrose. Judy Kaye and John Cullum were starring.

Listening to the show once more.

Slept for about thirty minutes - not enough. I have to be very careful or I'll get sick and I have no time for that.

Listening to Cosi Fan Tutte - in English, Eleanor Steber and Richard Tucker on Masterworks Heritage - I love this series from Sony - there were all early records - these have the original covers and labels. Of course, it's Mozart so I don't love it or anything, but I'm happy to hear it and English makes it easy to follow the story. I also got Madame Butterfly on Masterworks Heritage - with Eleanor Steber and Richard Tucker again.

I'm up, I'm up - no hours of sleep and I am wrecked beyond belief. Terrible heartburn all night, out of Pepcid, and I've just about had it, frankly.

Oh, no!

Back from breakfast - bacon and cheese omelet and home fries - then a trip to the used CD store - got some operas, quite a few, actually, for the credit balance plus two full cards (they stamp a card for each purchase) so that was sixteen bucks off, as well - so, I put out about eight bucks cash.

Congrats!

TOD: Shorthand. The only thing I have ever excelled at. And I never used it in real life.

Interesting as it could have gotten you an excellent job, at least I think it could have.

TOD 2:

High school: Latin, French, Spanish, German

Impressive.  Are you fluent in all of these?

Used to be fluent in Spanish. Lived in Barcelona one summer.

My German improves when I drink.

My French is not great anymore.

Problem is I never use any of them.

LOL about the German.

I am completely wrecked, however, and can barely walk straight and my brain is not currently functioning AND it's broiling hot out, which is really irritating. Hey, weather, summer's over, you know.

Feel better vibes!

I am rather tired from the memorial service.  We weren't emotionally invested as we never met him.  It is his sister, and sister in-law, we know.  Both are childhood friends of Keith. 

We think it was a nice service.  It never connected to the Zoom link & the sound was terrible.  We watched on their daughter's Facebook page through a live cell phone video.

I just read an article about a new treatment for amblyopia (lazy eye) that involves watching tv.

I am extremely lucky my parents found a doctor who included tv watching as part of my special exercises 60 years ago.  I am sure modern technology is better today than it was back then.  What surprises me is the "modern", at the time, program I did with the doctor way back then does not seem to be mainstream treatment today.
