Alibris has the new book on Sondheim and puzzles on sale, though postage eats up most of the savings.

I can’t get past the headlines about the shootings in Australia. Just too horrific to think about.

I haven't read the full details, only about the hero who took the gun from one of the shooters.

I hope we'll get to see some pictures of the finished product.

DR Laura will have to use panoramic mode.

What we need is video of DR Laura driving the forklift and depositing the B.A. Salad on the church’s loading dock.

Thanks everyone. I am feeling a bit better after a day of rest.

It is now 3 degrees with a real feel of 5 degrees.

Tomorrow we will get up to a balmy temp of 28 degrees.....so I may do some shoveling.

Maybe Sheila will drive by.

DR ELMORE there will soon be another 5 STAR review of A/T.

I know what I want to say, but I'm figuring out the words.

Jane, no, no one was wearing masks because no one admitted to being sick until AFTER rehearsal.

Had a coupon and got some orange chicken and tried their sesame chicken. Orange chicken was fine, sesame was garbage, which is where it's currently residing. But since I last ordered from this jernt, which was four days ago, everything has changed, packaging-wise and portion-wise and why? I called to find out - new management. What a shame.

Watched a low-budget movie from 1957 starring James Best and Mala Powers. Interesting movie, poorly directed, score by Ernest Gold. But two great location shots - one at 2712 Pico Blvd. in Santa Monica, a jernt called Pickle Pete's, which was quite popular back then and which I'm shocked I don't recall ever seeing on our many drives to see the grandparents. This jernt was located just east by one block from what became, in the mid-1960s, the Morgan Theater, where I directed a couple of shows in 1974.

The other location was 4610 Beverly Glen, home of Casa de Cadillac, a Sherman Oaks landmark, then called Yeakel Cadillac.

Does that make it half-ASS?

Perhaps the local senior center will be able to accept the unopened bags of baby lettuces.

Jane, no, no one was wearing masks because no one admitted to being sick until AFTER rehearsal.

I thought maybe you were wearing a mask since you are now dealing with an autoimmune condition that makes you more susceptible to catching something, especially while on prednisone. 

People don't always know they are sick until it is too late which is why I have been using this nasal sanitizer before going to the gym.  It seems to be helping.  What I thought might be a cold wasn't since it quickly went away.
