Must be. I renewed my membership. It used to include several guest passes. Now there are none.

I drove all the way to the arboretum this morning, only to find out they are closed on Tuesdays. That's new.

That's a bit disappointing.

That explains some of the posts I saw on Facebook.

I have stayed in touch with Tomovoz. 

In 2014 Keith & I took a cruise that stopped in Melbourne.  Tomovoz & Colin met us at the cruise port and gave us a wonderful day.  Lunch at their home was part of our tour.

I enjoy reading his poems almost every day on Facebook.

Rodzinski, last week, we had an eerie coincidence where you'd described the composer Andy Monroe, and I'd mentioned that Andy Monroe's musical "...The Singing Nun" had come up in Facebook conversation just the day before; that was in a thread with Tomovoz.

My friend Lynne Roblin, one of the costumers at the long-gone New York State Theatre Institute in Troy, NY, just posted a plug for the book on Facebook. These are her cats Bennie and Nellie.

Back "down" to $2.91/gal.

My fill-up (I wasn't quite at empty):  $37.77.

I do like the three sevens. If only I'd been standing at a one-armed bandit.

I stopped at the supermarket just long enough to pick up a pound of elbow pasta. I had other pastas here, but I'm following BK's recipe to the letter. I've got the rest here (I always have Hellman's in the house), and I'm aiming for Thursday to make the tuna pasta salad. If that shouldn't happen for any reason, it will be Saturday.

Just attending to various and sundried things. I should probably go to the mail place to see if two important envelopes are there, but the day has turned wacky and I can't do banking in the morning because I'm doing a podcast about books for the new book - that's at ten. Then I'll go to the mail place, then do banking, then back for a Zoom with my set designer.

I hope your podcast, and the rest off tomorrow, goes well.

I guess I'm on a lucky streak.  I got Wordle in 3 today.   Are any of our Wordlers willing to mention their opening words?    I've been mostly using "Raise," Slate," and "Irate."

Congratulations.  I will ask Keith your question.

It has been a couple of years since Keith used "Raise".  His current word is "Orate".
