DR elmore3003 - here's hoping you don't have to vote in person after all.

Isn't GRAVITAS the Greek god of falling down?

I thought they were not allowed to open the ballots until Election Day.....how would they know something was wrong?

I awoke to an allergy day. Not a horrible one so far.

I have a boat-sized GRAVITAS bowl I use at Thanksgiving.

In my email this morning there was an ***URGENT*** notice from the CT DOL. It turned out to be just a reminder to everyone about the dangers of phishing emails and such. But that was on my mind as I read DR Elmore’s post about the ballot, and that message sure does seem weird.

I have had far fewer allergy days since working from home.

And the word of the day is: GRAVITAS!


I love the recordings of Debbie GRAVITAS!

Someone posted about BK/Elmore’s SHERLOCK HOLMES album yesterday, and it made me want to listen to it. I shall do so today.

Last night, right out of the blue, I popped in the Blu-ray of VANISHING POINT (1970). For whatever reason, a classic muscle car / road movie was just the ticket.

Tonight or sometime this weekend we’re making a point of watching SLEEPY HOLLOW which I haven’t seen in years. I’m looking forward to that.

Don't you, as a voter with an inquiring mind, want to hear more details about Biden's big linens scandal?       8)

I missed that completely.  I may have been too entranced by Trump's imagery of coyotes carrying children across the US border from Mexico.

Thanks! Early voting starts tomorrow and the polls are only a block away.  I could walk there if only to inquire. I'm sure I will get a response to my email.

It's really a very good BK/Lanny Myers album.  I am very honored that I was asked to orchestrate the Sondheim song.

I've done all the housekeeping I will do until the new fridge arrives.  Tomorrow I will vacuum the entire apartment.  What I need to do now is remove the remaining items from the refrigerator and get them out of the way until the new one is installed.

Does the vacuuming alarm the kitties?


I'm sure maneuvering a large appliance like a fridge is difficult in your studio.

They hide from the vacuum.  I'm sure there will be fridge issues today.

I see there’s a free ASMAC web thing tomorrow on Robert Russell Bennett that includes Bruce Pomahac and Jonathan Tunick.

I saw that, too.  Sadly, Bruce no longer regards me as a friend.

The fridge is emptied. Stella and Thatch are having a field day sniffing through the various bags holding cans, bottles, and jars.

They say we might get rain this weekend. That will be the first since the end of August. And the second since March, I believe.

Margita's friend Laura, and Judy's two adult daughters will also be there tonight.  I hope no one's infected with Covid!  Of course, if anyone would be showing symptoms, they wouldn't be there.  But there's no way to know if they're positive but asymptomatic.  I'm bringing my mask, just in case.

I hope you mean you will be WEARING your mask, AND I hope they will be wearing their masks.

And now, I need to get to sleep.  I want to see if I can get to work a little earlier so that I don't have to use as much vacation time. 

Good night, Jane, and Have a good day, all!

Thanks.  I hope your day is a good, and a healthy one.

I would like to watch Totally Under Control because it was made by people who graduated from the same college as I did. I fear I won't be able to stomach it, though, for the same reason I did not watch any of the debates. Just hearing 45's voice is triggering for me.

I agree, it is a horrible, horrible voice.  Even if I liked what came out of it I would cringe ;D

I am thrilled with the arrival of my new toy: a set of bamboo toast tongs. It has a built-in magnet so I can keep them handy near the toaster.

No more burnt fingers!

Cool.  I don't make toast enough to consider this.
