BK wrote in the notes: "Well, dear readers, let me just say this: This."


Relating to that, here's the song "This" that Skip wrote with Ellen Fitzhugh.

TOD:  I'd say the most pills in one day must have been when I was in the hospital after my surgery in June 2019.  They'd give me a bunch of pills and a cup of water, but it was too many to swallow all the pills in one gulp.

I don't know if it's the weather or changing season, but at 5:30 this morning, it was dark outside. The cats and I cuddled until 6:00 when I decided we had enough of that.

I don't have to leave the apartment today, so I will spend part of the morning sorting the laundry, which I must do. I also have a few things I need to print, so I need to organize that.

I've never seen the Prime Suspect in today's notes, but I do love Pretty Poison.

One of the reviews of my new book on Amazon said in his review that he had loved "21st Century Oldies" volumes 1 and 2, but he gives the new book four stars.  I looked back, and he had given volumes 1 and 2 five stars.  (He also mentioned "The Little Things You Do Together" from Company among songs he had to google to find. Maybe I need to emphasize more that the songs are mostly show tunes.)

I could "rationalize" that a 4.8-star average maybe possibly looks more realistic - but 5 stars as an average sure felt good for a while. :).  I guess if I can stay at a 4.8 or so average, that'll be OK.


This is very nice in this review, though; it feels good to think of the books in this way:
"There are 69 songs this time – with the lyrics printed in easy-to-read typeface ...
 The book is priced low as it is – honestly – time sensitive. Landau sure knows how to write clever lyrics and, if you have previous volumes, you’ll want this one too. This is the kind of book you leave in in your living room or den (after you’ve enjoyed it yourself of course), for when friend drop over and you want to keep them busy while you are out of the room. You’ll probably come back to hear them humming, and smiling, to themselves."
