Quoting Michael Loo to Nancy Backus on 06-06-18 01:56 <=-

be arriving on Thursday, and not leaving until Monday, and that was fine with her... She's offering to have homemade soup available for arrivees,
and serving breakfast Friday morning...

Not that we can't cook for ourselves. Lydia is
the one I thought was cute, right?

Probably... she's the only one of my sisters that goes to the same
church as I do... :) She does like to cook and bake, so if she's
offering, it's probably because she'd like to do something... :) Also,
she's seeing this as somewhat of a training for her eventual plans to
become an AirBnB....

Ok... I sat her down... and wrote it all down... ;) She says that some
of these could be moved to other rooms as needed...
In the "playroom" (downstairs)
super-single waterbed (sleeps one)
full/queen futon (sleeps one or two)
twin bed (sleeps one)
In an upstairs room
queen high-style airbed (one or two)
single high-style airbed (one)
In the "sewing" room (upstairs)
queen bed (one or two)

That may well take care of our needs.

I thought it might... especially as Hafflys plan to have their camper
there as well, as I said...

Also, she said she could go sleep on the other side of the house with
her daughter (what used to be the apartment for our parents), and free
up her king waterbed for another couple of guests...
It sounds to me as though we should be able to accommodate everyone
there, especially as Hafflys will have their camper there for
themselves... There's also a couple of couches.... ;)

Excellent - I often sleep on couches,
sometimes in my clothes, and would be
more than happy to do so if there is a
dearth of pets.

There is only one rather ancient cat... reasonably well-behaved now that
he is in his dotage....

Although I admit young academic types tend to be
skinny. But the word was that this mountain lion
was malnourished as well.

So maybe some extenuating circumstances there... ;)

That's why I don't immediately condemn
criminals, especially the nonviolent
thieving ones - they may well be starving or
desperate to feed their families.

Depending on what is being stolen, that might be... I have less sympathy
for those who are feeding their drug habit....

Yesterday I found
someone sitting in my advantageous seat;
when confronted, he ceded the place, saying "my
bad"- an abomination to the English language.

Quite agreed... to say nothing of being a rather annoying brush off of
any responsibility really for bad behaviour....

It's as if an apology makes bad behavior
automatically okay. News flash: it doesn't.

Indeed.

Turns out he had been assigned a nonreclining
seat and seemed to be trying to pull the wool
over the rightful possessor's (i.e., my) eyes.

Perhaps he's done so in the past, successfully...

According to those who have made
investigations of the subject, offenders
tend to be repeat offenders, especially
if spurred on by an initial success.

As I'd expect...

Played second in Op. 74 and first in I think
one of the Mozarts, which was as easy as
falling off a log. Then the first movement
of the Sunrise, but it was someone else who
pooped out, not me.

Then you didn't do too badly.... the first and third being Haydn, perhaps...?

The first being Beethoven - if one doesn't
specify a number, it's Beethoven; Op. 74 of
Haydn are qualified as nos. 1 to 3.

Not being a string player, I'm less familiar with that sort of
designation.... :) Was this just a chance to play thru the music
together, or was it intended for some concert...?

ttyl neb

... I am Smorgas of Borg. Prepare to be marinaded.
