Well, you've read the notes, the notes came upon you unawares, and now it is time for you to post until the unaware August cows come home.

DR TCB, is Buddy okay?

I had thought I would go to my pharmacy yesterday morning and pick up several prescriptions, but my legs were aching so much I decided to wait until Tuesday, when I have my doctor's appointment since the pharmacy is only a block away. As a result I am out of my painkillers and last night nothing would stop the pains in my right leg. I was awake most of the night, so I will probably spend most of the day napping.

I did have a curious dream sometime between 4:00 abd 5:45 this morning. I was with my neighbors Ann and Jen from the fifth floor and teaching Jen how to use a walker. Michael Vita, who was a teenager in the original Broadway cast of Bye Bye Birdie ands whom I knew from the 1984 John McGlinn album Songs of New York, was also in the dream. I haven't thought of him in nearly forty years.

I spent a part of yesterday playing with my A&T book, revising and cleaning up missing quotation marks and other punctuation, but I mostly lay about with the cats. Today, before my lack of sleep catches up with me, I will pay my first of the month bills and make an effort to clean off my worktable.

I woke up at 7:30 am on the dot, which was good because I forgot to set the alarm.

Good morning, friends.

My fears about traveling turned out to be unfounded. Smooth trips both ways, everyone masked, no adult tantrums to be seen.

It was a delightful week with great weather, good food, long beach walks, and family time.

I didn't manage to post a lot here at HHW, but I did keep up with the notes and the posts.

I enjoyed MR BK's story about the $6000 - until the very end.

Vibes for Buddy and DR TCB.

The wedding was nice. As I was tying my shoes, I had a terrible pain in my lower back.....so I was in pain for the happy event.

I think I've been spending too many hours in my computer chair because the pain subsided as I slept and started again when I sat down....[and they laughed].

So I switched out the chairs.

When my sister and I got to the venue - there was NO podium or stand of any kind for the officiant. But I had brought a music stand just in case.

A Virgo is nothing if not prepared.

The gentlemen in the wedding party did NOT wear jackets, so i didn't put mine on either.....

Hello, August.

I love August. It is the month of my natal anniversary.

All of my expectations were met.

Happy Sunday to one and all! There's a brand new Broadway Radio Show up in the website. This edition is one of my At This Theatre episodes where were look back at the history of one of Broadway's grand theatres. On this show we celebrate 100 years of the beautiful Music Box Theatre, built as the home of Irving Berlin's Music Box Revues and now the current home of Tony Award winner Dear Evan Hansen. Enjoy!!!

Thank you, DR Donald.

Nice, DR Jrand70. And nice to be prepared.

The town where we were staying is what you might call an exclusive enclave. The housing is way expensive. The rentals are expensive. The shops cater to people who have way too much money. In short, I am not their target demographic.

In any case, there was a new shop this year: a chain boutique called "Toastique." It's a gourmet toast and juice bar. I grabbed a menu, but didn't even contemplate eating there. You can get $20 avocado toast.

Immediately next door is a gourmet shop catering to folks who want to buy a gourmet ice cream sundae. For their dog. There are low metal tables for the canines to enjoy their treats. Honestly!

This was all observed drive-by. I didn't walk in the commercial district, because no one was wearing a mask.

Thank you for the update, DR Jrand70. I almost feel like I've just had a quick visit back home.
