Moped around in the morning. Called Mastercraft at noon; no, he's still working on it. Mopey, mope, mope. Got a number of calls and thought each one was it, but it wasn't. Passed the time reading, doing computer stuff, and not much else.
Finally, at 4:15, I got the call--yay! Walter dropped me off, and I settled up to the tune of $933. Gave Jessica, the office person, my debit card and was annoyed when it was rejected; now I have to go to Ocean First to find out why. Paid with another credit card and waited; my little darlin' was being taken for a test drive.
When the guy driving returned, he pulled into the back and Jessica went out to investigate; he said he wouldn't let me drive it before putting oil in. I waited some more, then got the news that the car had developed a knock and he wanted to keep it longer.
DAMN! Jessica drove me home, but I still don't have a car! Aagh! I'm at their mercy, so what can I do? Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Well, guess I'll live through it. Had a bite, then prepared for the audition. Aline's sister, Susan, picked me up and we went to the Tuckerton Seaport; we were to meet in the fishing shanty. We then found that the quilt group of the other Susan, the one I walk with every morning, was meeting there. Mix up in scheduling--story of our lives--so we sat outside to "read." (Actually, it was very pleasant, with a nice breeze.) I have no idea how well--or not well--I did and plan to go again to tonight's rehearsal.
As I walked in the door, the phone was ringing with a call from my dear cousin, my "Cincinnati Sis," Marifran K. Now this was the high point of the day and we had a wonderful time catching up with each other. What a pleasure to hear her voice!
I have RedHats today and we're going to the Atlantic City Aquarium. Well, I ain't gonna drive, that's a cinch.
WIDER: Confused about the LIBOR thing? So was I until I read this by Robert Reich:

Too big to fail. Too big to jail. Too big to do anything but screw the common people--but that, they do with enthusiasm.
