Unfortunately the new faucet aerators don't seem to be working.

My fifth word guess was something completely different to see if other letters are in the word, because I couldn't think of words that had the second and third letters until I made that completely random guess.

Keith often does a different word in an attempt to get more letters.

I'm up - I've only slept about three hours - don't know why and it's annoying. I went back to bed and then woke up about fifteen minutes ago having maybe some kind of allergy attack. I'll do Flonase in a bit and see if that helps.

Are you not doing the Flonase around the same time every day?

And how stupid. Did they think they wouldn't be discovered eventually?

I'm not so sure about his story that we included a tip in the total, so he was cashing the check to get the tip and then would give the rest of the cash to the company.

Hmmm, I'm guessing you did not add a tip to the total.  I hope this didn't cost you anything since he didn't cash it.

I don't tip professionals who come to my home. They set their prices.

Or add a tip to the total of the check.

So were the rest of the ushers. No one there wanted to risk the contamination possibility.

Whoa! Hullo?

New York’s Orchestra of St. Luke’s brings Rodgers and Hammerstein’s first Broadway classic—Oklahoma!—to the Carnegie Hall concert stage. Conducted by Emmy- and Grammy–winning music director Rob Berman, this concert features the original orchestrations by iconic Broadway and Hollywood arranger Robert Russell Bennett, whose contributions to Oklahoma! were indispensable.

That's pretty sad about the book sales. And this one, of all things!

BK:  Did you ever check out Disney-related podcasts?

I asked my housemates again about those. The one they thought was great was called "Inside the Magic". Unfortunately, the guy who'd created it, and really made it worth following, sold it several years ago and it just wasn't the same after that. It, uh, lost the magic.

Well, since the book package doesn't seem to be in LA yet, guess it's not arriving today. Hopefully tomorrow. It's in New Mexico according to tracking and has been there since yesterday at three. One would have thought it would have left there the same day. Perhaps I'll give Fed Ex a call.

Bravo! I saw the Guys and Dolls they did in 2014.  I hope they get a good cast; they've got a good conductor.

I hope it wasn't someone with a personal connection to you.  Sorry you even had to look at the governor.
