Dreary and damp are the two best words to describe this uneventful, gloomy morning. It rained steadily throughout a large portion of the night, but it ceased by the time I woke at 6:15 AM.

Due to mowing the yard, yesterday, and this morning’s rain, I’m working from my hospital table that I’ve had for 30+ years. It’s been one of my finest purchases, having served these many years as a workplace from bed, a book stand, a catchall, a clothing repository, a laundry folding table, a dining table when eating from bed, and a place to secure revered items from growing puppies. The four older dogs are scattered about my bedroom and the round hallway while The Colonel is snuggled next to me. every now and then, some thing outside, grabs his attention, and he dashes to the edge of the deck to investigate the item.

Last night, Mama Kay, Laura, and I went to see the new movie release, THEATER CAMP, at Neon Movies. After the movie, Laura returned home while Mama Kay and I went to Jorge‘s Mexican Restaurant on Wilmington Pike in Kettering, not too far north of the Wilmington Pike and Stroop Road intersection.

THEATER CAMP is quite campy, terribly funny, and reflective of some theater people and theater situations. For me, this satirical romp was a mixture of television hits, GLEE, where the majority of things in real life just don’t happen that way, and WILL & GRACE, where the male and female leads have a lengthy, comedic/dramatic, gay/straight friendship.  

There are several things to which I must attend, but I’ve got a hankering to go to Woodland Cemetery. My body is telling me not to leave the house, but my mind and spirit are in fierce disagreement. 

Make it a great day!
