Annabelle was happy to sleep in her cat bed until midnight or so, when she decided it was time to crawl in with me.  I swear, I could have a king size bed and that cat would still take up 99% of it!

Wednesday morning greetings!  Up early today to head north to Michigan.  Tomorrow we're interring Mom's ashes and Fr. Richard will conduct a short committal service.  We'll spend the rest of the weekend with my sister and her family and be back home late Sunday.

Thanks, DR Elmore.  This visit was originally planned to be all about Ann Arbor, but took on a whole different meaning after August 10.  I've even cancelled our reservation for the University of Michigan bicentennial event we were going to attend all day Friday.  We'll plan another A2 getaway another time...

Very excited about ThE CRUCIBLE.  I bought an LP copy a few years ago when I was in the show at DePauw with Mr. David Cryer & his wife Britt - two charming and dedicated people....David is a alumnus of the school.

Mine is also in STEREO but it is scuffed up as MR BK describes....yes LOTS of BLACK....but it was nice to hear.  It is one of my favorite plays to be in....I have never seen it, though.

Envious of BK's LP find, but I'm glad he's the one who got it!

Looked around for vocal scores, and that seems to be yet another scarce animal with people asking ridiculous prices.
Title: Re: THE QUITE A DAY DAY
Post by: Jrand73 on October 04, 2017, 06:31:39 AM
Oh yes DR CHAS SMITH some scores and LP's are very dear to the owners....the secondary market can be very competitive.

I don't often BID on things on EBAY....I usually check the prices there and then go to the AMAZON MARKETPLACE - where now and then a bargain can be found.  There are several GOODWILL STORES that now have AMAZON/EBAY pages and their books/CD's are not very expensive....  You really have to read the descriptions carefully.

Since I am not a collector that ever plans to resell, I don't mind buying an acceptable copy of a book I want to read - or a GOOD copy of a CD or LP instead of a MINT copy.

Right now I want a copy of the Elvis Presley KISSIN' COUSINS soundtrack which is on a CD with CLAMBAKE and STAY AWAY, JOE.

All copies are over $35.....I have gotten several other multiple soundtrack CD's most of them under $10, some of them under $5.....but this one is very dear....  I like this series because it has alternate takes and unreleased tracks...so I shall keep looking.

I hear ya, DR Jrand67.  Certain items hit the jackpot for whatever reason, and just stay there.

I don't resell, either.  That isn't to say there aren't some items in my collection(s) that I shouldn't relieve myself of and cash in on.  It seems like such an effort, though, and frankly I'm a little hesitant to become a "seller" with the risks that would seem to entail these days.
Title: Re: THE QUITE A DAY DAY

yes, I have never thought about "selling" after hearing some horror stories about buyers.

I did just do what I said I NEVER did and bid on a SEALED copy of the KISSIN' COUSINS stereo LP.  My bid is low and there are 8 days left....so we shall see where it ends up.....

I ate those two pieces of fried chicken on Saturday. I have walked over 25,000 steps each day since. And I gained three and a half pounds.

All this talk about pets taking up space in the bed makes me laugh.  Four cats and a large dog was nothing compared to Sherlock.  The same went for 3 cats and two dogs.  You people know nothing about pets taking over your sleeping space ;)

I have friends with multiple Bernese Mt Dogs in their beds ;D
Title: Re: THE QUITE A DAY DAY
Post by: Jane on October 04, 2017, 11:07:20 AM
DR Laura have you had your thyroid checked?  I suppose it could be due to what you ate in those three days since the fried chicken.
Title: Re: THE QUITE A DAY DAY
Post by: George on October 04, 2017, 11:16:21 AM
Well, with all this pet talking, I should announce that I'm finally getting another cat.  She's a hand-me-down from my sister's boyfriend.  He's going through some medical issues and doesn't feel like he can care for his cat.  Her name is Nev...my niece named her after Nev Campbell, the actress. ::) So I have to get my house cleaned up (or at least reasonably less cluttered) and take Nev.  I don't know if it's permanent or just until Larry feels more able to care for her again.  She was a stray and he'd only had her for about a year or so, so I don't think it'll be a great trauma for her to move.  But my niece said that Nev is about 14 years old, so that may be a factor.  We'll see.

Then I suggest changing your walking routine a bit.  One thing I find very helpful is getting out for another walk after dinner, even if it is a short walk.

My question for ASK BK DAY:

Always worked out in advance.  The one time something took me by surprise and really annoyed me was no billing at all in The Apple Dumpling Gang - I don't know how that slipped through the cracks, since I didn't even audition for it - I was just given the role.

My son and his fiancee were at the Route 91 Harvest concert in Las Vegas. Because they had already seen Jason Aldean at a previous concert, they decided to leave a few minutes early to get some food. As they were leaving, the gunshots began. Where they had stood earlier, one of their friends was killed. Another friend was wounded.

Talked to a couple of girls from my high School Graduating class today....one on Facebook and one on the telephone.  Our 50th class reunion is coming up this spring.

My brother Mike saw one of them at the Kroger store a couple of weeks ago, she thought she was talking to me....and he didn't know who she was until he told her....  She still thinks she was talking to me, so I didn't call her on it.....

DR JANE when we're standing together....you can tell us apart....when we're by ourselves, I guess it's easy to mix us up.

I'm on the right....of course now, I am much thinner than he is....or slightly as the case may be.  Our sister is in the middle.

Cute, but not identical.

Keith's father was an identical twin.  As adults it was easy to tell them apart, especially after Keith's father went from very overweight to rather thin while the twin just kept gaining weight.

Feeling relieved and oh so very grateful! 💗
My son and his fiancee were at the Route 91 Harvest concert in Las Vegas. Because they had already seen Jason Aldean at a previous concert, they decided to leave a few minutes early to get some food. As they were leaving, the gunshots began. Where they had stood earlier, one of their friends was killed. Another friend was wounded.


That's terrible. :'(

Had a wonderful visit with Richard Sherman, came back to the Valley, picked up no mail or packages, and have been uploading our new Levi! logos to Indiegogo - still looks great but we fixed their two problems without totally killing it.  I have to say they really were good to deal with and never confrontational.

...and here we are in the far western 'burbs of Detroit.  Our drive was smooth and Rob is a couple of hours behind us.  We'll go to dinner when he gets here.

Which "burbs"?

DR Jane, we are right on the border of Livonia and Northville.  My parents bought a condo in Northville in 1969 and Mom lived there until she moved to Phoenix in 1986.  Richard, Rob, and I just spent a delightful evening in Northville, driving around the condo complex and walking around downtown.  We peeked in the windows of what was Mom's bookstore and is now a children's clothing boutique.  Had a nice dinner at Poole's Tavern, which I think was a dive bar when we lived here.  The whole community is more upscale than it was 45 years ago.
