Another Good One

Got down to Betty's by 10:30 and we went around the corner to Hannah's for yummy omelets.  Sat and chatted after, then left for the FELS gathering at 1:00 in Margate.
I read in both Twenty-Seven Wagons of Cotton, a bummer by Tennessee Williams and A Marriage Proposal by Anton Chekhov.  The latter is, surprisingly considering the source, a comedic play and even allowing for the span of years since it was written and the translation, pretty funny.
The leader was her usual inept, exasperating self, with no clear agenda, holding forth and at length and ever pointlessly on uninteresting topics, and being unclear even about basics, such as how long a session should last.  Nevertheless, with Louise, Sondra, and Lynne there, it was fun.  I had wanted to attend a Purim program in which Louise and Sondra will appear; unfortunately, it's on the Sunday Arsenic is playing--darn!
Stopped on the way home at the dollar store and picked up a few things, then at Canal's for wine.  By the time I got in it was after 5:00 and full dark, so I just had a bowl of soup for dinner, then freshened up to go next door for dominoes.
Besides Frank and Barbara, the hosts, just Leslie and Dennis R. and my other next-door neighbors, the M.'s, were there, so it was a nice, convivial group.  Had wine and good talk first, then played the game, then enjoyed coffee and dessert.  The party didn't break up until almost midnight, but I slept well and feel fine.
Nothing scheduled for today and I'm ready for a little downtime.
WIDER IN A WAY:  Re my January 16 entry and The Twilight of American Culture, I just saw that Hollywood-star-stuffed-shirt-bore, Brian Williams, somber mien smoothly intact, delivering "news" of great import.  It seems that somebody or other is suggesting that bruises on Natalie Wood's body may have been inflicted before her drowning.  Now what in the living hell can one say about this?  Natalie Wood died thirty-two years ago and how a "news" program could possibly consider this "news" just boggles the mind.  I never, under any circumstances, watch television "news," but saw this in Googles's videos. Don't know why I was surprised that it was carried on a national "news" program, but hey--real news that means anything to anybody is never included, so why not this crapola?  Gotta fill your broadcast time somehow.
