THE HOT HOUSE

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, you won’t believe it – I can barely believe it myself and yet I must because it is true. What can I barely believe? Well, I’ll tell you what I can barely believe because why should I keep such things from you? Yesterday, I turned on the air conditioning when I left so that the house would be nice and cool upon my return. Just prior to the arrival of dear readers Laura and Sandra I came to the realization that the house wasn’t so nice and cool and was, in fact, nice and hot. I looked at the thermostat, and instead of seeing the seventy-two degrees I’d set it for, it said eight-two degrees. I then came to the realization that despite the fact that I could hear the fan blowing nothing was coming through the vents. I had to call my air conditioning people and they will be out tomorrow to fix it. Meanwhile, it is quite warm in my home. Isn’t that a fine story about the hot house?

Last night, dear readers Laura and Sandra and myself had supper at Du-Par’s and then went to the John Anson Ford theater to see the West Hollywood Orchestra with special guest, Mr. Jason Graae in an evening of music from the movies. It was a delightful concert and Mr. Graae was, as always, in top form – singing beautifully and being his usual hilarious self. He even did my arrangement of the Sherman Brothers nonsense words medley, which went over very well. Mr. Richard Sherman was in attendance, and we had a very nice chat, and he was quite candid about the album that I did of his music and what had ultimately been done to both myself and the album. I also saw several other people I knew, and afterwards we went back and spent time with Mr. Jason Graae. All in all, a fine time was had by one and all and also all and one.

Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because, despite the fact that it is Sunday, I must leave the house shortly and do some work.

Yes, you heard it here, dear readers, it is Sunday and yet I must go do some work with Mr. Grant Geissman, because we simply must finish our album and send it off to be mastered. Then I shall come home and do some more work on Kritzer three. Yesterday, I went into storage and I found my scrapbook from high school. Well, as good as my memory is of those days, I had one set of dates wrong, and I like those sorts of details to be right, so I now have to move a few things around – a pain, but one must do what one must do. In actuality, it will help certain things, but it gets a bit confusing since some of the stuff I have to move will move into the upcoming chapter that I haven’t even started on yet.

Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must work, work some more, and then dine with the Joneses. I was rather amazed to see the lovely number of posts yesterday – when I left the house there were forty-two posts, and when I got home there were over one hundred posts. Well, I am here to tell you that no other chat board gets such a number of posts on the weekend. I know there were a couple of questions asked of me in yesterday’s posts, so rather than try to find them, could you simply ask them again today and I shall answer them. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s free-for-all day, the day in which you get to discuss any old thing your collective hearts desire. So, post away, and I hope upon my return there will be lots of posts for my mental delectation.
