RISE AND SHINE
« on: August 19, 2025, 12:06:36 AM »

Well, you've read the notes, the notes had both a rise and a shine, and now it is time for you to post until the rising and shining cows come home.

George, the description and photos in last night's posts of the paint job you all did was quite interesting, especially to this non-painter.

TOD:  In addition to the ones mentioned, I really enjoy the TV themes for "Room 222" and "The Waltons"

I slept very poorly, and Annabelle and Thatch were great companions. I had a lovely period, just after I went to bed, when Thatch climbed onto my chest and settled for maybe 30-45 minutes. I didn't want to move him, although I was uncomfortable, because I was so moved by his affection and trust.

After he decided to move ad saleep beside me, I could not settle. At 12:30, I took a tizanidine and slept for a while. My next memory is Thatch wanting to cuddle around 4:00. Then Annabelle decided she wanted to cuddle, too. She moved in, settled next to me, and the alarm rang.

This morning I have a basement trip, and a visit from Ann. She and Jen are off on another trip tomorrow, the last one before school starts next week.

Yesterday I called Val and MaryAnne and told them to stop by for a copy of the book. Today I will call my goddaughter Charlotte and arrange a visit; I have a book for her. I also need to pack up a copy for Peter Filichia and beg someone to mail it for me.

Larry, since Peter is press, would your publisher take care of mailing a book to him if you asked?

Tuesday morning greetings!  Today we have to deal with my car that wouldn’t start yesterday.  Richard thinks it’s the battery.

Sorry, DR Ginny. If it is the battery, it will be good to have a fresh new one before the cold sets in.

I guess since I posted a press release on Facebook, my new book must be launched.


(I posted the innocuous, controversy-free version of the press release, with - I think - no chances of offending anyone.)

I guess there's never NO chance of offending anyone - but this version of the press release itself has minimal chance of offending anyone -

unless one were to click on some of the parodies linked in the press release.

I enjoyed reading about the event attended by DR JOHN G last night.

I also enjoyed the story and photos from DR GEORGE of the garage floor painting.

My weird dream of this morning included Bill Murray waving hi to me in passing because he remembered me from a group of people we both had known some years back, like, in his SNL days.

Is there a story of rubbing elbows with the rich and famous in this?
