Rainy Saturday

This is the second consecutive day I'm doing a blog - amazing. It's raining hard in northern New Jersey - a fine day to stay in and clean. I've tackled part of the basement/family room/laundry; we make good use of our limited space. There's still plenty of work to go. I'm listening to recordings of old Jean Shepherd radio shows. Anyone know him? If you were a kid in the 1960s in the NYC area, you might know Jean Shepherd. He did radio broadcasts from the Limelight in Greenwich Village for years. He was great to listen to in bed at night in the dark. A gifted ranconteur, he was probably the closest radio came to its own Jack Kerouac.

We have no telephone service today; probably something to do with the radio. A Verizon serviceman needs to make a call, but one can't come until Tuesday. Therefore, we're dependent upon our mobile phones - but I'm not sure many of our friends, those who may think to call us to go out to dinner tonight - know our mobile numbers. Therefore, I'll have to call everyone I know and ask if they're thinking of inviting us anywhere. Too pushy? I'll risk being pushy to avoid no partying on a Saturday night, even in the rain.
