I also don’t know why a marching band is with no guitars is making guitar shapes.

On that video, if you don’t have time to watch the whole thing, skip to about 12 minutes in. The finale is neat.

IS anyone else having nice warm Fall temps? It's been around 70F for the past 6 days. It's amazing.

Lovely. We had some rain and some sun yesterday, temp was 54 degrees.

Well there is a Smart Car in my drive way. I am going to drive it around for a few days and see what's what.

Right now something is beeping and I'm not sure why.....we shall see.... Time to read the instruction book again.

Wow, you get to test drive it for a few days or did you buy it?

Monday afternoon greetings! Even though, technically, I'm out of jail today, we're keeping a pretty low profile. At least I'm feeling some motivation to do a few things around the house.

I watched my soap with all three cats. Annabelle lay on her pillow, Stella lay a short distance from me, and Thatch curled up by my side. I'm trying to decide if I need to have some groceries delivered.

On the other hand, every time my daily horoscope says I will get money or something successful will arrive, it never happens.

I hate it when that happens...or actually doesn't happen.

I just got this message from my regular doctor:
This is just a protocol - most likely your oncologist needs to provide more information to the insurance company - please touch base with them and see what needs to be done

I remain wary. I had no problems like this with last year's surgery.

One bit of good news is that our director was able to cast that last man in Wreck the Halls without even auditioning him. It's someone he's worked with in the past, and as we had hoped would happen, he just suddenly turned up and was the right person for the job. We were really lucky that way on this whole production, because three of the original six had to drop out this year, and the other two excellent replacements appeared just like that, too. And I was able to procure my original bassist and drummer, so barring any untoward events, this should proceed pretty smoothly now.

Great news, ChasSmith!

ChasSmith - We replaced Children Will Listen - just wasn't working and I'm not all that fond of the song, frankly, which I know is Sondheim heresy - the accompaniment is so busy and on piano it's just, well, it wasn't landing the way it needed to. We replaced it with the much prettier and much simpler Not While I'm Around.

John G. · « **Reply #76 on:** October 11, 2021, 12:28:12 PM »

Not heresy. Simply a matter of personal opinion. And one I endorse.

We want photos! Also, I want to know more about what a smart car is and does.

John G. · « **Reply #79 on:** October 11, 2021, 12:53:40 PM »

I remember seeing Tommy Lee Jones fold himself into his Smart Car. It did not look comfortable for a man of his height.

I just spoke to my brother Randy, who informed me that our cousin Eddie had written a book. I can't say it much interests me, but it's set in the territory where my dad and his brother grew up and where Eddie and his brothers spent much of their summers at my grandmother's house in the 1950s.

Congratulations though I think it is a good idea to take it easy for a bit.

It was 48 degrees when we left for the gym this morning. I, as usual, was wearing shorts. I do not look forward to when I need break-away pants over my shorts.

Jane · « **Reply #83 on:** October 11, 2021, 01:03:30 PM »

It is currently 52 degrees. I will wear long pants for our afternoon walk.

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

Interesting. I used to really like it. I wonder if I still would. It has been a long time since I have had a pizza from there.

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.

Yes, save it until you are reading the book.

I intensely disliked The Underground Railroad and never want to read anything by him again.

Everything of his is very different. He genre hops. Zone One was a fairly fun pandemic novel (not our pandemic). The Nickel Boys was almost a YA historical novel. Underground Railroad was Faulknerian. Harlem Shuffle is supposedly like a Chester Himes heist novel.

Plus, the new Jonathan Franzen, The Crossroads, just came in.
