Because there were two shifts, the theater gave us pizza for dinner, which was nice.

It was Pizza Hut and it was better than I remember Pizza Hut being. I think they upped their game.

From George:

I'd read a synopsis and liked what I read, so I do plan to read it...eventually.

I found the following on Doerr's website and wish I had read this earlier into reading Cloud Cuckoo Land.

Cool.  Thanks for the link, Jane.

DR John you might also appreciate this.


I will give it a look.

I may save it for when the book comes in. I've got Colson Whitehead's new Harlem Shuffle to read after The Library Book.

And that energy filled the theater when the game started. I know one woman won a trip to New York City for four days. Another won a refrigerator-freezer.

That's pretty cool!

That's really cool!  We don't get anything when we volunteer...except free coffee and water, and we get to watch the show.

When working concessions in the before-times, we could get some soda from the fountain gun because we were right there.

Nice.  Rufus has performed at the Washington Center.  His sister was his opening act.  She was pretty good, too.

That sounds like fun. Have always been a Neil Diamond fan.

I think more people are these days, at least now that Sweet Caroline is a drinking song.
