It is 5:30 PM Sunday, July 26, 2020, and it is cooling off--only 87 degrees---which means the rain clouds are starting to move in but right now it is just another beautiful day in Fort Lauderdale ending another great week in South Florida, virus or no virus.


1, 2 & 5) from inside my apartment 3) my 'neighbor' Lucy waiting for me to come out knowing it is usually about this time I go down for the mail but it is Sunday and no mail so I will take a walk down to the elevator and back so she can get on with her routine! 4 & 8) new peppers growing.


6 & 10) Lenny the lizard, like Larry his friend, waiting for me to come back from the mailboxes so they can go back to their woodpile 7) looking out from the elevator walkway.


9) Last night watched members of the original cast of "A Chorus Line" getting together to celebrate its 45 anniversary--I am looking forward to 2025 when, hopefully, they will do a revival (and NOT update it too much!) and tour with it, coming to Fort Lauderdale when, hopefully, theatre will have returned to 'normal'. With as many times as I have seen it and read all the books about it, I was surprised to learn that Michael Bennett (not like him!) allowed the original 'Richie' to make up the choreography for "Gimme The Ball"!


11) They finally finished the dumpster project--the residents will still have water up to their ankles when they throw out their garbage but the dumpster wheels will be nice and dry!


12) It has been 50 (!!!!) years since I went to South America and Australia/New Zealand and for souvenirs I framed the money I had left from both trips--top South America and bottom Australia/New Zealand--wonder if they are worth anything?


And tomorrow I start off a new week going to the dentist!!
