2025 Daily - 05/11/2025

 it is sunday at about 8:30pm.... Nice day. Worked out, did some gardening - specifically began constructing the grape arbor/support/pergola.... Going well. Looked at some irrigation issues in front -- that still needs work and the back system needs consideration and discussion w/Gil .. maybe not using him for that... etc. etc.. Also refilled hummingbird feeders and ordered some new ones to expand my setup for them. 

About to talk w/Sherry who lives in Walnut Creek area - goes to Temple Isaiah which I think is in Livermore and is where Roy went/goes... AND -- talked w/Sherry and the plan is to meet and take a walk... at about 1pm... Saturday.. She is a  Rossmore Resident...! And was born in Brooklyn - in Williamsburg area...

Practicing for audition for the Mathew Shepard piece. I guess I am hoping .. though anxious and well... not sure my voice is good enough... BUT - I will let conductor decide if I am good enough and then I will try.. .try... try... to do it right!!!

Watched a few NCIS's.... 


AND ABOUT FORTUNOFFS...

1922

Warren G. Harding was President. The Lincoln Memorial was dedicated and King Tut's tomb was discovered. The N.Y. Giants defeated the N.Y. Yankees to win the World Series.... 
And in Brooklyn, Max and Clara Fortunoff opened the doors of their neighborhood housewares store. Here was a store with a real difference: a vast selection of quality merchandise, attentive sales clerks, and remarkably low prices. These attributes, which have become hallmarks of the company, not only turned the store into a Brooklyn landmark, but soon led to eight Fortunoff shops, all located under the elevated subway on Livonia Avenue. Max and Clara were joined in business by their children, Alan, Marjorie, and Lester.
