Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a buyout, and now it is time for you to post until the bought out cows come home.

Fascinating story in the notes, BK, about the "Boy's Life" residual trick.

Or was it just a lie?

TOD: I like cold shrimp quite a bit. I'm not sure I've ever had lobster cold, but I'm sure I'd like it.

A nice tuna fish sandwich can be quite good served cold.

Good morning, all!

I slept well. I had a long dream that I was running around midtown with three fifty dollar bills and a couple of singles in my wallet, looking for a copy of the newly-published Love Life vocal score. Every place I went was sold out. I finally got to a rather seedy shop that was mostly a porn shop, and the clerk kept trying to sell me a copy of the vocal selections. A Broadway conductor I'm not particularly fond of came in ad purchased a large pack of blank orchestra score paper. I was curious, and, along with several annoyed looks, told me it was a gift for a friend.

After the alarm turned it off, lay down with Thatch, and had a short dream that I was working with Ingmar Bergman on a film of The Merry Widow with Barbra Streisand. I think the English lyrics were being written by Alan Jay Lerner.

Yesterday Amazon delivered copies of the hardcover Annabelle & Thatch. The carton was heavy and rather beat up, but the books were fine. The young lady who delivered them was very kind and set the carton, along with a 24-pack of bottled water sitting outside my door, inside the apartment foyer.

I must put all that away this morning after kitty cleanup.

I searched around, and apparently there is a PC equivalent to Apple's "Touch ID." It is called "Windows Hello."

I assume to use it, you need to have some sort of physical fingerprint scanner.

I didn't know about BK's involvement in E.T.

I have never seen E.T.

“ The true man is revealed in difficult times. So when trouble comes, think of yourself as a wrestler whom God, like a trainer, has paired with a tough young buck. For what purpose? To turn you into Olympic-class material. But this is going to take some sweat to accomplish. From my perspective, no one’s difficulties ever gave him a better test than yours, if you are prepared to make use of them the way a wrestler makes use of an opponent in peak condition.”

Just finished reading the Discourses for the first time since undergrad days. Love the new translation Penguin has.

And I love Epictetus with cold fish dishes of all sorts: anchovies wrapped around radishes, lox and cold smoked salmon, lobster salad and sardines right out of the can.
