Know what I hate? When morons leave their shopping carts in the middle of a parking space. That takes a particular kind of something or other.

Watched the broadcast of the Minnesota Orchestra with its new Music Director Designate, Thomas Sondergard (Danish).

The program included Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.

There was no rioting.

Where's the fun in that?

Or in the middle of aisle, so that you can't pass on either side.

Have any of you Magpie watchers seen Leslie Manville in the new Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris? I also got it from the library this weekend. Haven't watched it yet.

Tom, there supposedly is a masturbation scene in the new Oklahoma! It’s when they’re looking at dirty pictures in Jud’s place.

We did not notice it. The looking at photos in the smokehouse scene was done in the dark. All the dialogue was in the dark; they man with the camera came out and live-streamed closeups of their faces during the song (which was still in the dark, except for the lighting on their faces).

I wonder if it were restaged for the road.

We arrived 2 hours later than the original projected time because of terrible bumper to bumper traffic in Virginia and Maryland, the last hour in the dark while it poured rain

The Aldi has cut down on that by requiring that you pay a quarter to unlock a cart from the stall and you get the quarter back when you return it

I haven't seen or read the book.  Interesting on Goodreads reviews is the number of people who read the book after watching the movie.  They seem to be delighted with both.

I worried so much about those little girls sitting next to me seeing the scene John discusses. I was relieved when they left at intermission.

Sunday evening greetings!  We’ve had a quiet day, but about 5:30 I was working at my desk and Richard was watching TV when we heard a loud crash and breaking glass.  By yelling we each determined that the other was OK, but we met in the living room to find the outer pane of our double-paned picture window shattered.

We went outside and looked for a rock or a ball or a dead bird and found nothing.  We can only assume that it was a bird that was able to fly off.

Yikes! :o Glad you're both okay!

Annoying though, especially in the rain.  It could also be difficult for some people to actually do it.
