French Mime Marcel Marceau has died. I had heard of him, known about him since I was a child. Don't understand the allure of mimes, or clowns for that matter. Mimes are a step above clowns and both rank pretty low on the entertainment ladder to me.

We are getting some rain today. It may not amount to much, but we need it so badly that any amount is welcome.

Allergies are beginning to bother me more, and will continue to do so now that we are officially in fall.

My birthday is Sunday, and I am uncertain as to what to do still. I think we will go to the Nelson Atkins Museum, look around the new wing and have some lunch. May not do anything more than that before having a nice dinner out some place.
