From DR George:

Well, I got the official e-mail from the director of Jekyll & Hyde and I start rehearsals on Monday!

Congratulations.

Thanks, Jane!

PAGE EIGHT JEKYLL & HYDE DANCE!!

From DR George:

I applied for a couple of jobs but didn't get interviews, but just doing research on what one needs to put on resumes nowadays, and what one should do, say, how to dress, etc., if you get an actual interview was really scary.  Everything seems so specific and one wrong move could put you at the bottom the the list.

It sounds scary, especially after so many years of not having interviewed.

Yup.  I know that I was very lucky in that my mortgage was paid off, and I was close enough to my early retirement age that it didn't make a lot of difference to start to draw it early.

[George]

George, you seem to be in the same employment boat as I am. No takers.

Darn.

[George]

Welcome to the world!

That's so cool, John!  Congratulations!

[George]

I am sick and did not have the colonoscopy this morning. Jen came down and gave me a Covid test. It was negative. I'm going back to bed.

Good news about no Covid (it's recommended to test again in a couple of days), and I hope you feel better quickly!!

As Covid is reported to be coming back in NYC, PLEASE watch out for the elders in your life.

Remembering Dad, Naftali Landau, whom everyone called Nat, for his heavenly birthday, born Sept. 7 1920.  He passed away of Covid at 100-1/2 Feb. 2021, and given longevity in the family, Covid clearly cut his life shorter than it should have been.  It's a "mystery" that even with 24/7 care, he caught Covid and hadn't been vaccinated even as late as Jan. 2021, when at 100, he logically should have been among the earliest eligible for the vaccine.  (His caregiver was a Miami company, which may relate to Florida's lax Covid precautions, I think.)   

Here we are on what was a very happy day indeed, the bris in 1988 of my nephew David Landau, who's celebrating his birthday today, Sept. 5 (Happy birthday weekend, David Landau!) -

Nice photo.  It had to be doubly upsetting knowing a vaccination might have prevented your father from dying of covid.

Even more so that my greedy brother and his greedy wife had gotten me removed from the health contact list for both Mom and Dad - Because of that, I wasn't even told my Dad was in Aventura Hospital until the Rabbi's wife had tried to visit Dad and she just double-checked to make sure I knew Dad was in the hospital.

My brother and sister-in-law wanted full control over everything, financial and medical.

Yikes! Why do people have to be like that?

I was locked out of the decision making for my father.  My sister did not call me so I could be there when he passed.  Someone else called, and then my brother called but I arrived about 15 minutes late.

That's too bad.

Tech issue worked out and we have what we need and now we'll find out what's what - hoping to hear later today or tomorrow.

Very good news!

[George]

And I found out what dear Grant was charging him for his tiny little abode and it was OUTRAGEOUS. I don't think he'll be renting it out at that price anytime soon. Robert Yacko just got a studio that's 200 MORE square feet for 1100 bucks LESS in Sherman Oaks. My fear is that if he can't rent it out he'll try to raise my rent and IF he does that I'm afraid I will be out of here, too. Don't know where but I get ten Zillow options a day that are slightly cheaper than what I'm paying for slightly larger places - this is two bedrooms - everything I look at on Zillow is three and either the same price or less. I don't really want to move at this point. And I have been looking in Palm Springs, too, but that would be wholly dependent on a whole bunch of things.

Oh, my!  Hope everything works out, BK!

[George]

You never know quite what you're going to get from Uncle Andre's but it's usually two filets of fried catfish. Today, it was three and they were huge.

Wow!  That's really cool!

[George]

I hope I don't have an acid trip.

Hope you didn't!

[George]

FIVE!

Very sweet!

[George]

Keith got Wordle in four.

That's great!

I keep forgetting I have sweet potatoes here - maybe I'll microwave one later and have that for a snack.

I hope you enjoy it. 

[George]

I've never cared for sweet potatoes. 

[George]

I don't know why.

[George]

The prototype is coming along spendidly.

Still working on The Hallmarked Man. Highly readable.

On the subject of the Cormoran Strike novels, we keep working our way through the CB STRIKE TV series. 

Amazing characters!  The plots vary for me from season to season, but that's OK.

I got from England the region 2 DVDs of the first four episodes.  I enjoyed them, too.

[George]

This potential good news things is a mass of issues. I'll explain in the notes.

Can't wait to read about it!

No matter how bad life gets, just remember:

Cheese exists. And it has never let anyone down.

Preach it, brother!

I just burned 2,000 calories.

That's the last time I leave brownies in the oven while I nap.

Noooooooo!!!!
