We also had an electrician here yesterday to take care of a few things. Boy, was that expensive! I had no idea.

It was just getting a little too long for me.  Maybe I'll let it grow it out again next year.  We'll see.


Both before and after the haircut look great, George! 

Thanks, Freddie!

First thing I did was pick up a few things from the mail place, including a little residual that will pay for three nice meals.

Congrats on the windfall, BK!

Think of how much money you saved not cutting it for the past year!

I know, right?? ;)

For anyone here who might be interested - I found an extra hardcover first edition of Meredith Willson's great book about the making of The Music Man - But He Doesn't Know the Territory - in great condition in a great jacket and - SIGNED by Willson from him and Rini (his wife). This book in this condition goes for big money - the only signed like copy on the ABE is eight or nine hundred bucks. I paid three hundred for this many years ago - I somehow got two copies back then but forgot about this until I just found it rummaging around in the garage. Happy to let it go for the three hundred and postage.

Carol and I watched the Liza documentary. She worked with Liza in the early days. I wanted more singing. But I enjoyed it.

Finished with my writing for the evening - twelve pages. I'm spending quite a few pages on the sequence I'm in because I like the detail of it. Muse Margaret can tell me if it goes on too long or it's too much.

Had another few bites of the orange chicken but the flavor is just a bit too weird for the likes of me.

Well, must write some damn notes - they'll be short as all the notes have been since I started this book.

I suspect I'll use both pairs of readers - the lower strength works fine for some things and the slightly higher strength works better for other things.
