These days, there seem to be more of those podcasts where the interviewee appears by remote from their home.  Hoping you can get some of those.

I'm back for a moment. Kitty cleanup is over and I must make the bed.

Next Monday, the apartments on the third floor are being inspected for lead, so I have a bit of tidyiong up that I hope to accomplish bit by bit until then. I'd frankly rather lie down and try to relax than work in the current humidity.

A lyric has been haunting the corners of my mind this morning: "When the rain comes" from BK's Broadway Bound recording.

Again, I shall lead off with the weather repor.

In a word, or two words:  It sucks.

DR Elmore has humidity. We have ever more continuing rain and just enough of a chill that running the heat on low is just the ticket. And I think they said it will even rain tomorrow before clearing and warming for the weekend. And won't that be a nice change! But... (because there's always a but)...

Hang onto yer ASSES for next week, when we get our first heat wave o' the year. Mid-to-high 90s on Wed./Thurs., with 90-91 on either side.

I haven't done a damn thing yet this morning, and it'll be noon before I know it. It will be a day of mundane but necessary indoor tasks, and the spirit has not yet moved me.

I very likely had chili at some point in my 1970s days of eating at House of Pies, but try as I might, I have no solid memories of their foodstuffs other than the pies. The raisin pie was an intense favorite (was it sour cream/raisin?), as were the cream pies, and... oh HELL, almost any o' them pies.

In an amazing coincidence, however, I threw together some pasta (shells) and chili last night, using my house standard Hormel no-beans variety, and diced up a red onion. It was the perfect thing, hitting the spot right on target. I'm out of cheese, so no cheddar, but this didn't need it. I do need to get back to making a real chili sometime.

TOD

Piano, since I could toddle over to it and reach the keys. And organ, on which I took lessons for several years as a kid (from good teachers on good pipe organs), but that eventually gave way to concentrating on piano and other activities. (I've never played it as an adult, but it would be great fun to sit at one and see what the hell I could possibly play on it now. I'm afraid it would be a little like "remembering how to fly" a Cessna, but then climbing into a cockpit of a 747 and trying to fly that.) In school, enjoyed playing some harpsichord in chamber music, but without any formal instruction on it. Celesta in the orchestra, etc.

In high school I got interested in drums from a musical theeder standpoint, got a cheap set and took lessons for a while, and faked my way through a couple of shows. I remember Carnival was one of them. Borrowed a flute and "taught myself" (ha) how to basically get around that, and even the piccolo briefly, and I took one semester of flute lessons. These would be the only things worth even mentioning. I never picked up a guitar, for instance, and anything else I did pick up for a moment, it was just that:  a moment.

Shouldn't we all be playing some VERY ROUSING NOTES on our respective instruments today?

I don't know if I can even rouse myself to walking to the keyboard...

I'm glad we donated many of our classical CDs especially, to a nearby arts charity about two years ago, even though we couldn't itemize our deductions so got no benefit of the tax deduction.

I'd have felt terrible just throwing those CDs out, and glad giving them to this charity at least has the potential that the CDs will find homes.
