This rainy weather is actually perfect for my li'l ME day. It's keeping me inside where I will get some things done -- even though I MUST run out at some point for replenishment of the all-important

(wait for it)



                                                             cat litter.


I sympathize with DR Elmore's fight against the clammy humidity. It's in the low 60s here and we've had the heat on lightly since last night -- if, for nothing else, to keep the house feeling dry.

With no claim whatever to living up to the guidance of any of them:

Jerry Haas, uncle (who learned in his 70s that he was adopted)
Mrs. Squires, 6th grade teacher
Arden Whitacre, organist
Peggy Barber, choral director
Bernice Whipple, 12th grade English teacher
Arthur Loesser, pianist
James Levine, conductor
Clara Steuermann, librarian

There may be a Part 2 later.

Just caught up with this news from Oct. 1:

RIP Raymond Gniewek, 89, MET concertmaster from 1957 till 2000 and husband of soprano Judith Blegen.

It occurs to me that we probably heard his name as much as any on the Saturday afternoon broadcasts, what with the conductors always shaking hands with him on reaching the podium.

Ah, a Facebook outage. Includes Instagram and whatever else they own. I won't mind if it lasts a while.

It's been cool enough in the mornings for a hike lately.  Finally.

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.

What's fascinating about the Facebook being down thing is that it happened less than twenty-four hours after the whistleblower was on 60 Minutes - if you missed her and it, it's on YouTube in full and really interesting.

What's even more interesting is that Twitter has gotten thousands of new and old users online today because, heaven forbid people go one minute without their social media - that's what's shocking and depressing and wrong with this world. Someone said that with Instagram being down, all the influencers might have to actually get a job :)

Thanks to all for the patented HHW vibes.

Procedure went well...clean bill of health....and kudos to my surgeon from the Doctor performing said invasion.

Back in from 3-5 years....so I guess since it's been 4 1/2 years since my surgery....I can say REMISSION.

TOD:

Bryan Fonseca - FOUNDER and Artistic Director of the Phoenix Theatre in Indianapolis - who passed away earlier this year of COVID.

VICKIE PARKER - a director who chose me as her assistant for a show back in 1981 and who taught me everything Bryan didn't teach me about doing theatre.

ERNIE FORD - executive director of the Society of Professional Journalists who hired me as his executive assistant and took me on a great ride for almost two years all over the country....and introduced me to MANY folks.

What about the time everybody suggested  you have a "happy birthday" and you went and had a happy birthday?
