Only ghosts and detectives remain

spatch in his cataloguing of ephemera from the Somerville Theatre has discovered evidence of Three Live Ghosts in the theatrical wild of 1922; I am delighted. I had never heard of this play before June and now my husband is under instructions to steal the program if he finds it.

Time has been weird for ages and I understand the shifting nature of lunisolar calendars, but I still don't understand how it's already Erev Yom Kippur.

I'm trying to brace for November Hanukkah, but I don't think it's going to help.

But it's not going to be Thanksgivukkah again during our lifetimes.

I come to you live from being yelled at by my boss for doing an errand on Yom Kippur. Which I'd do after spending Kol Nidre online doing tech support on Yom Kippur. *eyeroll*

YOU ARE AN APEX PREDATOR AND SHOULD STAY PUT.

There are times I'm glad that being a Quaker means one simply treats all days as holy- it makes life simpler! :o)

totally off topic, i have an older MacBook Pro that I have no use for and might be a replacement/backup for Bertie Owen. email me at peoples dot lj at gmail and I’ll send you the specs. Then if you want it, I’ll clear my stuff off and ship it to you.

I really enjoy your postings here.

Thank you for letting me know, and for the offer of the laptop! I will keep you posted on the ongoing state of the Bertie (at the moment, that cats are not allowed to sit on him. Seriously, they're not).

It walks!

It walks!

He also discovered evidence of the theater ghost, or at least the name traditionally assigned to the theater ghost, which may or may not have anything to do with the real-life person who bore it.

(I hope there's going to be an archive.)

I am reminded of the silly poem

Three little ghostesses,
Sitting on postesses,
Eating buttered toastesses,
Greasing their fistesses,
Up to their wristesses.
Oh, what beastesses
To make such feastesses!

I am reminded of the silly poem

I feel like I saw that illustrated by Maurice Sendak and I hope it's true.
