Embracing the frightening, we take on the masks of doom. On Halloween, we chase away goblins by becoming one with them.
Just decorative?

Beta Blocks
In my mythology of the world, clouds are a fragile world we cannot visit.
They are too delicate to bear our weight.
After all, they are the nebula as reflected in their status as “nebulous.”
Opening?
Soon! Maybe.
Grubbs on York are being coy about when (maybe even if) they will be opening. This was cute. Originally. After months of seeing the tease, it’s beginning to grate. Open already, I want to shout. Or don’t.
The irony on this corner is that several months ago, the restaurant in question was open. Then it shuttered with this promise of it “coming soon.” I am puzzled.
Today Tomorrow Yesterday Last Week
What’s your #1 priority tomorrow?

National.Holidays
Of all the made-up days of celebration, I managed to miss Sep 29, National Coffee Day. Ironic, really. My coffee trail has been long and winding. Perhaps it’s fitting that it doesn’t end at a Dunkin’ or a Peets.
“Yankee, go home”
Someone had just informed me a week ago that the Yankee season was going badly.
This apropos my husband not wanting to be a Yankee fan “’cause they never lose.”
The Yankee – Red Sox matchup was on our set for less than a minute when we were greeted by a grand slam. [All numbers are approximate as I wasn’t fully attending.]
The Yankees had a 4-run lead quicker than you could say Jackie Robinson.
Any further information about the Yankees (or my husband’s Mets) will be gleaned from encounters on our street. I don’t expect to be following games or the fate of our home teams.
K2-18b
So far, so good.
120 million light years is a substantial distance, but it has the earmarks of home.
A hydrogen rich and people ready environment awaits.
Carbon is considered a life-building and sustaining mineral; “K2..” has that, too.
Bring your bathing suit as NASA scientists say there are oceans on K2- 18b.
Let the sky ease your mind
Singalong
Catchy music and novelty songs go hand in hand. The tune that starts off the comedy-detective series Monk is a case in point. Randy Newman (singer songwriter) is a funny man.
The Lawrence Welk rerun this evening featured The Music Man. This musical has its odd song when Prof Harold Hill cons the town with a capital P.
The show used lots of comedy songs in its choreography and programming. Arthur Duncan tapped loudly to “Milkman, Milkman keep those bottles quiet.” Larry Hooper was talented in The Auctioneer, a song I love because I can’t keep up with its lyrics.
The most unusual number was about Mme Lazonga and her dance lessons. Bobby and Cissy danced to it along with Mary Lou Metzger, Jack Imel, Ken Delo, and Anacani in this episode.
It turns out that this ditty was from a movie of the same name, Six Lessons from Madame Lazonga (1941). Jimmy Dorsey recorded it.
Such originality is always welcome, but I think Bobby outdid himself on the choreography for this one.
