Wordle 1,588 4/6

The winning word is one that I don't think I've ever used in a sentense...at least, that I can remember.

From yesterday:

Congrats on Keith's 3-fer Wordle!

Wonderful beach pics, Singdaw!  And the funny ones were pretty funny!

Amazon Fresh arrived about 15 minutes ago, and it is all put away. Stella and Annabelle are checking out all the scents, from packer and delivery folk to the tantalizing aromas of the contents, in and on the six paper bags.

I slept very well. I had my second dream this week in which a person asks me about my late friend Bruce Pomahac, and I tell the person that Bruce has died. I still miss him.

This morning I need to deal with home healthcare. I spoke to a rather obnoxious woman on Tuesday who fot me so bent out of shape that I hung up on her. A different woman called on Wednesday while I was in the basement with the laundry. She said she'd call back on Thursday around 11:00. She called around 1:00, and I was tied up with other matters. So, I'll call her today.

DR Rodzinski, I am truly sorry about Mrs R's predicament. Did I ever know what she did?

That's because everyone's here and we have an overnight guest (one of Nathan's family who's here from New Jersey for a couple of days), and people are doing things.

Last night DR John G. posted about a book he's reading, in which:
Quote
My home country, Bexar, is mentioned several times, and it’s mispronounced every time.

I figured you meant county, but I'd never heard of it and it's good to learn about this. The book sounds interesting. Is it?

YOUTUBE PARODY LINK AHEAD -

Speaking of shows (like Grand Hotel in the notes) that didn't succeed the first time and came back as big hits years later -

Even as Broadway costs rise and overall profitability drops, perfect example of star power and screen and streaming potential at work is the upcoming screen version of the smash big-name revival of MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG.

As we look forward to the MERRILY movie release, recalling how the Broadway revival of the legendary 1981 disaster was one of the hottest Broadway tickets ever, not just the hottest Sondheim ticket.

It’s pretty good. It has the feel of a YA novel because it’s characters are young. But the writing is not simple.

TOD

Watched another Twilight Time disc last night, Enemy Mine (1985). I remember 1985 quite well, but I swear I never heard of that movie until they issued the Blu-ray in 2012. I watched it then but had remembered very little, so last night was like seeing it anew for the most part. I guess I'd say it's one of those I admire, but don't love. Definitely interesting in a few ways.

Later on TCM I came into the middle of, and sort of watched, Death on the Nile (1978) - bits and pieces of which I've seen, but I've never seen the movie straight through. I'm not enamored of it thus far, but it's a great cast and it gets high marks, so I should give it the benefit of a real watching sometime.

Slept both well and poorly. I had dreams in which I was asked to help with a volume of the Sherman Brothers lyrics. We were having troubles in figuring out how to organize the songs that were not tied to shows.
