Mama Mia

I went to see the movie Mama Mia today after the farmers market downtown. It was so good and only 7 dollars v. 60 for the theater tickets and so much better. What a feel good movie. Its worth it to see Greece and hear Meryl Strep and Pierce Bronson, et al and see her jump on the bed.

I got some blueberries at the market and some wonderful Nan and chicken curry. Next time I'll try the eggplant or figure out how to make it and save 7.00. I forgot how much I love the market downtown. It gets me out of suburbs. I can't quite explain it, but I love going to the farmer's market.

There is also music in the park. I may go too.

I like jazz, r and b and easy listening and classical. I'll skip the rap. It was such a beautiful day today about 79. Wonderful.

I got a call this morning from the female assistant candidate. I left a message for her at work with a librarian I know that I couldn't talk to her but she was trying hard to get me and finally, I stopped screening calls about 11, plugged in the phone, and picked up and got her. I just thanked her for returning my call and told her that unfortunately I couldn't talk to her.

I was used to interviewing people calling scheduling the interview and not having a preset list of questions. Things are different. I wish my principal had mentioned he didn't thunk it was a good idea for me to see the people at the public lib. before I made an effort and it became such an issue.

I may bit like it but I want to know. I'd rather have the information than walk into a wall. I may not agree and may not heed it but I want to know.

Unfortunately, it's still in my craw.

I picked my first doz. Roma tomatoes.

I'm going to make gazpacho, a cold tomato Spanish soup with celery, peppers, garlic, cucumber, lemon j, chives, red onion, sugar, s and p. Served cold its good for summer.

I'm reading Jonathan Kellerman's Compulsion along with Steinbeck critical interpretations. Hopefully I can get a handle on the symbolism. It;s a complex book. who knew? "Not since Uncle Tom's cabin gas there been such a controversial book, banned from n.y. to CA."

Gas is down to 4.29 and there is one station in the bat area where it is 3.99.
Fortunately with only a 2 mi commute x 2 I have only filled up once since school got out.

I borrowed my neighbor's dog and went for a walk.
