The world is supposed to come to an end at 6:00 today. I'll bet everyone is playing this classic video by REM:
Of course, it's all a bunch of bull. . . .
Today's Newsday cryptoquote is the third one by Elie Wiesel (born 1928) that I've seen this year: "Hope is like peace. It is not a gift from G-d. It is a gift only we can give one another."
As usual, the Saturday Stumper, which was authored by Doug Peterson was a toughie. Here are some of the tougher clues and answers:
17A: Universal-joint application: AXLE GREASE
15A: Extra Source: CENTRAL CASTING
56A: Tiara Winner for 1991 and 2000: MISS HAWAII (This was the toughest of all. I looked up Miss Universe, Miss USA, Miss Teen USA, and Miss America. I still don't know the source of this answer).

As usual, the sound system at the gym wasn't working right away this morning. At least the bully who intimidated me a few weeks ago wasn't there today. This biatch shut off my elliptical in the middle of my workout, with just two minutes to go.
Got new luggage for our upcoming Chicago trip. On June 25, we will be spending 19 glorious hours in an Amtrak coach. The purpose of our trip is musical: Eddie Vedder plays on Tuesday. On Wednesday, June 29, we move on to Milwaukee, where Peter Gabriel will play Summerfest. The next night, Kanye West plays (I'm skipping that one).
Tried coloring my hair this morning with a semi-permanent hair color. Not all of the gray was covered up; I'm really bummed!
One of the most nosy busy-bodies in our building passed away this morning. Good riddens!
Matthew got into a fight with a Wendy's manager a little while ago. She told him to F---- Off. Whatever happened to "service with a smile?"
On that note, I'm going to enjoy the rest of this beautiful day.
