Playlist For Sunday, June 5, 2022: Get ready. The iced tea is prepping!

 Is this really IT?!? Are we SUMMER-ING now? The hurdle of Memorial Day Weekend has been bounded ore, the limbo stick of ughy Spring arched expertly under (Bob Fosse would be proud of those back bends, for sure), and NOW? Now can we have Summer? Well...almost.

This past weekend seemed primed for watermelon, G&Ts, and barbies hotting up on the patio. My daughter spent part of it at a Philly ball game (90 degrees)(jeez, these millennials, and their insouciance!); I spent it biking hither and yon, ore hill and dale (82 degrees), but hey that's in the seasonal range, right? (Actually, I had to look up "dale". I always assumed it was the opposite of HILL, and it is. A rather wide valley, evidently. From the Old English. Think Downton, but when it was a real Abbey.) But after Wednesday, it looks pretty dale-ish temp-wise, like 61? 62? How I am to keep my bike-short tan lines that way? Harrumph.

 

 Well, we can GET READY. As Kaye Ballard did with her prepped pitcher of tea, in The Golden Apple. In fact, we can all practice LAZY, right? With a Lazy Afternoon, a Lazy Moon, Lazy Rivers, and Lazy Bones. Plus we simply must listen to a couple of shows up for Tony Awards (June 12, folks! My money would be on The Girl From The North Country, but I haven't heard more than 1 song from Mr. Saturday Night OR The Strange Loop...where are the frickin' cast recordings???), plus plus plus a Car Corner (Model Ts, Coupes, and Caddies) ANNNND as always, Broadway Surprises, to keep you "On Your Toes".

 

So practice your Lazy with me on Sunday...put me on the patio, next to a pitcher of something icy and tighten those hammock springs. Tis (almost) the Season! :)
