the cover of a theater program from an L.A. Opera production of Britten's "A Midsummer Night's Dream"

best overheard line in my entire history of theater-going: said by a rando during intermission at the Britten opera "Midsummer Night's Dream":

"Well so far all I know is, somebody squeezed fairy juice in somebody's eye, and a lady's in love with a horse!"

"Rocky *hate* Mark."

that's timbanews to me!!

I am ALL IN FOR ZOHRAN

in answer to your question, those California poppies are volunteers and I make it a point of pride to let them bloom and grow wherever they please. So I worked around them, even tho yesterday's rain pretty much flattened 'em. The roses took the same punishment. They'll bounce back!

in the midst of a very wet yard, a DIY raised bed with 'volunteer' California poppies, appears as a very smooth orderly surface. Lurking under said surface are rows of dill, lettuce & watermelon seeds. A couple of climbing trellises are resting against a stone retaining wall, on hiatus now that the snap peas, their bounty exhausted, were torn out.

*very* excited to have planted the "OG" raised #garden bed this morning, after a day of rain yesterday & about an hour before the rain started up this morning!

After a bit of research, I decided to plant dill along the edges of the bed, then lettuce rows, & then watermelon.

*Duh, not dim.

For crying out loud!

*culling, not calling.

Dim, Theater programs can’t hear you.

A tabby cat, rather large, is perched on the lap of a woman who really truly just sat down to read directions on installing a new cat litter box system.

Goddammit I’ve got work to do, the rain interrupted my gardening project, but then I started calling my “59 years of theater programs” collection and then the new litter box came from chewy. I sat down to read the directions and now I can’t move.

I consider the "two hours early at my gate" to be an invitation from the #book gods to sit in relative comfort and read whatever book I've got at hand at that time.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

April is the cruelest month.
Also the fourth month.
Also one of two months that begin with the letter "A".

I will say this for them, tho, #Nike fixed it:

"During race week in Boston, we put up a series of signs to encourage runners,” the statement said, per the running outlet. “One of them missed the mark. We took it down, and we’ll use this moment to do better and continue showing up for all runners.”

If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?

honestly that's the 2nd subjective opinionated advertising that I've seen pointed out today! The Nike ad that says "Runners welcome. Walkers tolerated." Who thinks this 'calling out' type of rhetoric is clever?!?

I came to running fairly late in life (decided to start training for a triathlon when I was 51). I ran for 18 years: distances from 5k's up to 1/2 marathon. This year I found I wasn't enjoying my runs & events + repair/recovery took longer.

I'm still a long distance walker tho. So eff you, #Nike.

Just an abominable company. You said it!!

The shoes I ordered, when they finally arrived that is, came in a bag with no paperwork and a 'barely there' address label.

Just an abominable company. Never again.

OrthoFit finally replied to my email about needing to exchange the shoes I bought for one size up.

Their cheerful email said they had an easy solution for me: They'll give me a $17 discount on me buying another pair of shoes.
