You handled that beautifully. nt

"Singing in the Rain" was on one of my local Public Broadcasting stations Friday night.

What a relief to come across that delightful movie, when the cable channels were full of pictures and stories of You-know-who, which was the last thing I wanted to see.

I loved seeing Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, and Donald O'Connor singing and dancing across the screen.

To tell the truth, the story-line is weak, but the fun and comic-relief was great!

Tell family and friends that the issues in this primary election- May 8-

may be on the back side of the ballot.
Make sure you/they turn ballot over after voting for individuals on the front.

In Hamilton county there are three issues to be voted on - Issue 1 is the state issue re gerrymandering.
The other two issues in Hamilton county are re a new tax for the Library and a renewal levy for the Zoo.

Best to not speculate on the year Senator Feinstein- or any other seemingly healthy person-

will die.
Sen. Jim Bunning (R-KY) predicted Justice Ginsberg would be gone in 6 months, when she was diagnosed with cancer a number of years ago.
Guess where Sen. Bunning is now.

I'm still checking in, looking over my "subscriptions", and the most recent topics

in Places, etc.
Trying to keep up with my house, get laundry done, load the dishwasher, get basic groceries, take my prescribed pills morning and night, shower, but not as frequently as in the past, pay bills as they come in so that I don't forget them, read the daily paper, read local obituaries online, tend to some needs of disabled daughter, and brush my teeth at least 2xday.

And I've mailed my absentee ballot for Ohio's primary on May 8.

Always hoping for the best of outcomes.

Isn't Sen. Joe Donnelly from South Bend? And the current Mayor of South Bend

is considered an up-and-coming Dem. star, I believe.

Many years ago, I vacationed at Crystal Lake; we were there when Elvis died - a good way to remember the timing. We also went to a nearby town to a car museum.
I've also gone to the Ft. Wayne Library for genealogical purposes. - That Library is well known for their genealogical collection.

Ryan's intention is to stay until the next Congress convenes in Jan. 2019, though he may leave

before then, particularly if/when the Dems win the House.

Then, you ask, who will be next?
Maybe Ms. Pelosi, maybe Tim Ryan, maybe Steny Hoyer, or maybe a star not yet recognized.

Right now I'd be happy with most anyone from the Dem. side of the House, though, obviously, some would be better than others.

Well, the Dem. Governor of Louisiana was there, invited because of the French heritage

of the state of Louisiana.
Also a woman, whose name I don't recall, who had worked in the Obama administration, though she was not the invitee. She was the guest of a man who was invited, who I assume is either a Republican or an Independent.

When does Mr. Macron's plane leave to return to France?

He's likely on his way, I hope, and doesn't have to see or hear in person the wrath about to be rained down on him from his recent host at Tuesday's State dinner.

Macron has paved the way for Ms. Angela Merkle 's visit.
Poor Angela - she's likely to meet an enraged orangish man.
I think she can handle the situation..

Just another way of saying "I agree." nt
