...California, and the two of us feel we are in the same boat--it is the one we call mid-year doldrums. To push ourselves back into the current, we get away. How I do remember that Kroks/Chattertocks concert. Although the Kroks cannot replace Frank, their rendition of Cole Porter's "I've Got You Under My Skin" was good. Afterwards, we went to the Cheesecake Factory, and I got to know another human being and fellow House resident...
