Vibes for DR TCB.


Thank you, Kevin.  What are you doing in Vegas?  Is Barbra having a private luncheon for her favorite fans?  Or perhaps you have decided to take in a Donny Osmond concert?

Leaving for the airport shortly.   Saw Brent B's show at the Italian-American Club Sunday here in Las Vegas.   He was in great voice.   The theme was "Night Songs."   My friends from Southern California met me.

Okay, Brent certainly works.

Wasn’t there a “Roaring Twenties” sitcom back in the 60’s?  PEPPER, maybe?

Today I decided to live-it-up and order from Chipotle.  It was very good, but 15 minutes later I was hit with a MSG overdose.  I managed to stumble to the bedroom where I fell asleep for four hours.

I have made it to the airport. I have assigned seats all the way home.

How many flights before you are home?
made it to Amsterdam. On my way shortly to Minneapolis, then home

Amsterdam?  That seems like a direct route from Greece too the USA.

But I can’t say I like Delta much anymore.

I always flew Delta, SFO to Atlanta, and loved it.  What is the difficulty these days? (Haven't flown since 2017).

Delta’s app wouldn’t work and I couldn’t check in until 3 am. Irritating because the app said I was checked in. But I couldn’t get a seat assignment.

The flight here, actually on KLM, wasn’t full. The attendants were pleasant. And I listened to me book in relative peace.

Down to 70 degrees today, but I think I heard Portland was going to be in the 80’s tomorrow.

We will finally have rain this weekend.  Hopefully, an end to our unhealthy air quality from the forest fire smoke.

If John were flying into Seattle tomorrow, he wouldn’t be able to see the Space Needle.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

I’ve got three books I’m in the middle of. I don’t care enough about Annie Erneaux’s The Years, but I’m about 75% through. Fredrik Backman’s The Winners is better.

The last is the Zola’s The Earth, which I think I’ll finish when I get home. I have a better translation there.
