Good news from DR GEORGE.DR CHAS SMITH is pounding the keys ... but he should be done soon...done for the evening.
Okay, PRIVATE PERK ALERT! A magnificent collection of photographs from the original production of FOLLIES. This lot includes the famous Time Magazine with Alexis Smith high-kicking on the cover, as well as approximately twenty-three photos - black and white, full color, several large mounted on board photos of the show girls, photo of Boris Aronson's set design, all major cast members are in these and they are all of very high quality. I'm thinking a fair perk price would be $400 - only about twenty a photo, but am open to offers. I'll also include Alexis Smith's opening night ticket for hubby Craig Stevens for the LA Shubert Theater opening night - it's encased in lucite or whatever they encase these things in and came directly from Ms. Smith's estate. I think 400's pretty good. The way this would work is that you'd make a contribution sans perk for the amount settled on and then we can ship that perk right away.
I am now sporting a blister the size of a half dollar on the back of each heel
I managed to drop a can from about shoulder height to fall directly on the middle toe of my right foot
I want to congratulate DR George on the new car - which I think you said you're picking up tomorrow? I also think you made the right decision in jumping ship on the undelivered one in favor of this one with more goodies. When my beloved old VW wagon died last year, I replaced it with a slightly newer Subaru wagon. (I LOVE the traditional station wagon configuration.) The VW was a 5-speed manual, and the Subaru is an automatic. But I'd thought about going to an automatic even before that -- not because I was actually tired of a manual, but because all of those fun years of driving with a clutch had also resulted in several instances of a very sore knee when I'd be stuck in stop-and-go traffic, and I needed a good break from that. And I am loving the automatic more than I ever dreamed. I still love a manual, but each situation calls for its own solution, and that was the right thing for me.
Good news, George. Looking forward to the photos.
Has anyone heard from TCB???
Lovely car.

Listening to some very cool Oscar Peterson albums on MPS - this one, In Tune, is the trio with singers - just love it. Next up will be Motions and Emotions with orchestral arrangements by Claus Ogerman. What's not to like.

Yeah, a co-worker just today actually talked about how she had knee problems and if she'd still had her stick shift, she wouldn't have been able to drive it for three months! BUT someone else she knew had his left knee replaced and he couldn't drive his stick for SIX months!

Speaking of Kelly, she just got back from moving her daughter to Halifax. I told her all about the Titanic cemetery, she had no idea. So, she toured the cemetery, and today I just got two Titanic books that she bought me in Halifax.
