And speaking of the price of gas, while driving Margo home last night, we saw that a Chevron station near her home had regular unleaded (now, there's an oxymoron

) for $3.99⁹. I mentioned that I got gas not too long ago for only much less than that. I said that I'd look at different places before I went home that night. So, Fred Meyer was $3.19⁹. The Chevron in Tumwater (literally kitty-corner to Fred Meyer) was at $3.99⁹! Costco (where I actually got gas last night) was $2.99⁹! And Trading Post which is the closest gas station to my house was also $2.99⁹! It's been a LONG time since I've seen gas as low as $2.99⁹!

From last night:

Congrats, Jane, on Keith's Wordle score!

Thanks, Kevin, for the Wordle comment, and Congrats to you for your Wordle 2-fer!

And speaking of the name "Kevin," this YouTube video short just came through on my feed:

why the name Kevin is so hated in France

I'm feeling under the weather; not sick but not blooming with health. I'm just feeling puny.

"Faster than Sound," the last big number I've got to deal with in High Spirits, is 100 pages of score, and it'sx taking forever.

No, but I need to be soon. I need to spend a good couple of hours on early-2026 music. Not just reading it in the recliner. Sitting my ASS in front of it at the keyboard.

Feel better vibes for DR Elmore!

BK's gas price was $4.29.

Swap those first two digits and you'll have what ours has been this week: $2.49.

Jane, I’m knee-deep in a fun book called Bug Hollow by Michelle Huneven. There are several passing references to someone named John Griffin in the book.

I paid $2.09 a gallon last night. The tank was about half empty. It took $16+ to fill the tank.

Well, not much. Last night I started watching an old DVD I've had here for years but I'd never seen the movie:

ISLAND IN THE SUN - with Belafonte, Dandridge, Fontaine, etc. Never saw it, never really knew anything about it. And I still don't know much because I was out like a light no more than a third of the way through it. To be resumed.

I wonder if there are bugs in Bug Hollow.

Today, in addition to some piano work:

One load of laundry.
Take ornaments off the tree.

Tonight I'm attending a semi-staged workshop performance of a musical written by a friend and occasional colleague.

That's my Friday.
