Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a good night's sleep, and now it is time for you to post until the good night's sleep cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: SKOOKUM!
-
And now - Dino at the piano.
-
Happy Wednesday, all.
-
I hope it's Wednesday where you all are. Neither ahead nor behind should anyone be.
-
SNOW!
That is what the Weather Channel is predicting for my town this weekend.
It won't amount to much...up to 4 inches depending upon a convergence of weather thingies.
I know it will be pretty, but it will most likely be gone by mid-day. It nearly always is gone within a few hours of daybreak.
-
This is one of my favorite classical LP recordings. I purchased it in London on a Thanksgiving weekend in 1973. Since that time, this Barbirolli version of Elgar's "Enigma Variations" has been my favorite of many I have since sampled.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
That's a good one, DR Ron Pulliam.
-
And yes, on Wordle, you just kind of pick letters. Think "Vanna White,"
-
Good morning, all!
-
Hopefully, my radiation treatments will resume. After the treatment I will have a brief visit with Dr Blacksburg about my "progress." Ha!
-
Before I step out, I have several emails to send and telephonic calls to make.
-
Good morning, all.
-
I slept off and on. Little pain, though, which is good. The hole is still bleeding but far less than it did yesterday.
-
Two-thirds of the way done by 1/12/22 is mighty impressive to me.
-
I have to work all day Saturday, but then Open Enrollment is OVER. And we get the Monday holiday.
-
Vibes for us all.

Project yourself to Monday.
-
You hanging in there this morning, DR John G? When does the gauze come out?
-
I have to change the gauze about once an hour, except overnight.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Today's topic is exactly what I need. I rarely stay asleep longer than six hours these days.
-
DR John G. - what a pain!
-
The passengers don't look too thrilled...
-
The machine is running so I'm going in today.
-
Radiation visit vibes for DR ELMORE.
-
Continued sleep vibes for MR BK.
-
Good news from DR RON PULLIAM.
-

So I made a tuna casserole this morning and I will be eating it today and tomorrow.....it turned out okay.....just okay....but how can you mess up a TC?
-
I wonder what the US Mail will bring today?
I only need one more document to begin my taxes....perhaps it will come today.
-
DR JANE that was kind of sneaky of your father's neighbor to do that......but then I guess some people are like that.
-
DR GEORGE & DR TCB I think DR JANE is being loaned "kid" things because Freyja is coming for a visit.
-
Enigma Variations is the title of the second volume of my Memoirs.
-
Radiation visit vibes for DR ELMORE.
~~~Ditto!!~~~
-
The sun is shining here today. It has warmed up considerably, and the s**w is melting. But another s**w storm approacheth Friday.
-
Wednesday afternoon greetings! We are getting this & that done around the house today. I'm still undecking the hall.
-
According to Bruce Yeko’s email, the new Rose-Marie recording is going to be on two CDs.
-
Trying to eat noodles now. It’s not easygoing.
-
I'm up, I'm up - maybe six hours of sleep.
-
It's been quite a day. The Access-a-Ride was 30 minutes early, and radiation folk were running behind schedule. After that, I had to see Dr Blacksburg, but because things were running late I missed my return trip. I called Access-a-Ride and I had a return trip within 15 minutes.
-
So, the driver called me to say he could not turn onto 77th Street. Could I walk to the corner? When I got outside the hospital, I saw a seriously crazy man lying in the middle of the street and traffic backed up. All these hospital personnel were trying to get him up. Well, they succeeded, and then he ran back and lay down again. I walked to the corner, met ,=my ride and came home.
-
DR GEORGE & DR TCB I think DR JANE is being loaned "kid" things because Freyja is coming for a visit.
Exactly :)
-
Watching the news I do hope they make it and we all stay safe from covid.
-

I think they were being nice as they had been friendly before my father died. I was rather pathetic, and they knew my sister had also just died.
-
Rude was the woman at the gym today who decided to use the empty treadmill between me and another woman. There was an almost empty row of treadmills in front of us, at least 20 of them.

He didn't have a fried egg on his head, did he?

Surprise! Surprise! The ENT office called me today to let me know that my Feb. 9 appointment would need rescheduling because the doctor would be out of town that date.
So, now I suffer until Feb. 17th. Not that seeing the doctor will end the suffering, but...
-
Sorry. That is the date of my long awaited ophthalmologist appointment.
-
The good part of that rescheduling is that I have a morning appointment (8 a.m.) vs. the afternoon appointment (1 p.m.). My first appointment will require me to be in their offices at least three hours, they said, so...
-
Sorry. That is the date of my long awaited ophthalmologist appointment.
Should I reschedule?
-
Just being silly.
-
Where is DR flingslaw when you need him?
-
The sun is shining brightly. The temperature is 53 degrees.
I should go out and walk.
But, I don't feel like it.
-
Are there really guests lurking here, or could it be members who haven't signed in?
-
I confess I does not know.
-
I am currently watching/listening to "Earth vs. the Flying Saucers" starring Hugh Marlowe. Sounds very dramatic.
-
Oh, well!

Yes, much better timing for a long appointment.

Lovely. Get out for a walk.

It is windy and 54 degrees here.

Jim Matthews from Another World.
-
I didn’t get my tacos. Will file a complaint with PayPal.
-
Did someone say Tacos?
-
I always liked the aliens and the flying saucers in Earth Vee Ess The Flying Saucers.
-
Six hours of sleep is not enough.
-
Futzed and finessed some particularly awful writing, which is better now. That took a long time, then I wrote three new pages and am about to end the chapter and begin a new one.

My Question for ASK BK DAY:
Did any of the 1950's sci fi films that you saw at the theeder live up to the preview of said sci fi film that you had previously seen?
-
Seventy five.
-
DR GINNY I thought that Madelyn Pugh, who wrote for I LOVE LUCY and Lucille Ball's other shows among others went to Ben Davis. But it turns out that she went to Shortridge......
-
We had a first today in the apartment: I was sitting on the edge of the bathtub, cleaning the cats' water bowl and taking in Cat to Annabelle who was lying in the bathtub. After I filled up the dish, I said in English, "Come on, Annabelle, it's time for your treat." As I stood up, she leaped up onto my back, climbed onto my shoulder, and rode out of the bathroom. When we reached my dresser, I stooped and she strolled off my shoulder onto the top of the dresser.
-
Ronnie Spector died. Be My Baby was and is s classic.
-
DR elmore3003 - don' t tell Annabelle, but I think you are both ready for America's Got Talent.

-
DR elmore3003 - don' t tell Annabelle, but I think you are both ready for America's Got Talent.
Don’t. She’ll think the show is really Annabelle’s got Talent and demand the full hour.
-
So, DR John G. - soft foods, still, for supper?
-
Yes. Soft foods. I’m going to make chicken soup. I dont know if I can eat the chicken.
-
Hang in there!
-

I shudder just thinking about it.

A pot of chicken soup is on the stove. Plenty of carrot, onion, celery and cabbage cooking in it. Should be ready in 20 minutes or so.
-
The smell is wonderful. J.B. loves it.
-
Four!
-
While cooking I started listening to Mel Brooks read his autobiography. It's highly enjoyable. I loved the story of how he got to see the original Anything Goes when he was 9 years old.
-
And he does the reading.
-
Well, since I'm not going to Hawaii, I can judge the San Antonio Barbecue competition.
-
I've done about five pages so far. Now I shall be on my way to put gas in the motor car and then I'll mosey on over to Ruth's Chris for a fine dining adventure, after which I shall return and write seven to ten more pages.
-
And he does the reading.
If I listened to audio books I would want to listen to this one.
-

When were you going to Hawaii?

Did you cancel because of covid or your extraction?

Watching an episode of Maigret with Bruno Cremer. It's based on the most recent mystery I've read, so this should be fun. I wish they had not changed the titles from the books to the episodes. The book was "Maigret and the Tall Woman." The show is "Maigret and the Burglar's Wife." In the book, they weren't exactly married.
Either way, both begin with a flashback of Maigret arresting the tall woman in her bedroom where she's nude and in bed. That doesn't stop him. His men wrap her in a sheet and carry her off.
-
Did you cancel because of covid or your extraction?
My traveling companion isn’t up to the trip. And I really need to wait two weeks because of the tooth.
Southwest canceled the ticket. I have the cost on hold for a few months.

I hope you will be able to simply postpone the trip.

It was supposed to reach 67 today. It barely made it to the upper 50s. Tomorrow’s high is supposed to be 79. We’ll see.

Lihue is canceled. We may go to Maui later this year.
-
Maui is nice. It is the only island I have been to. I hope one day to see another island or two.
-
Good night, friends.
-
Good night, Singdaw. I’m still waiting on my tacos.
-
Did someone say Tacos?
I keep seeing these Taco Bell ads in which people seemingly meant for one another just about meet when one of them has a Taco attack and leaves for a Taco Bell. But they never eat tacos. They eat burritos.
Is Taco Bell going to become Burrito Bell?
-
For supper, I had a bowl of French Onion soup and some French bread.
Ooh-la-la!
-
I like to surf the internet for about an hour before going to bed, but my eyes are getting rather heavy.
Tonight, I shall endeavor to sleep in my bed, rather than my recliner. I am able to breathe through my nose this evening!!!
The question is how long will it last? I haven't slept through a complete night in my bed in nearly two months.
-
Oddly enough, my Aunt Doris never slept in her bed. She slept in her recliner every night for years and years and years. She said she couldn't breathe lying flat on her bed. I suggested she might need a CPAP, but she would have none of it.
I think I can trace my last full night of sleeping in my bed to the night before she died.
Is this some sort of transference?
-
Sleep vibes, Ron. I know all too well how frustrating a lack of sleep can be.
-
Jrand, I think I liked most sci-fi movies without thinking the trailer promised more than the movie delivered.
-
Back from a really fun belated birthday dinner with Sami and her mom at Ruth's Chris. More about it in the notes. Also, put gas in the motor car. And now, back to writing.
-
Glad the book is going well, BK. When will we know a little of the book will be about?

I think I've done about thirteen pages, so I'll write some notes now and then try to do two or three more - I'm a page or so from ending a chapter and starting a new one.
-
Well, at least we made it to page five.
-
Barely!

Or bearly!

Lions and tigers and bares!

Hey, it’S a post.

I fell asleep. ::)

Hi, Tom.

Hello, George.

Ariana DeBose is this week’s SNL guest host.

She is, of course, the new Anita in WEST SIDE STORY.

She was also the young lesbian, Alyssa, in THE PROM.

There is talk that Ariana may get an Oscar nomination for WSS.

That would be history repeating itself.

That’s right. I forgot she was Doc.

Yup, but now in the new version, she's Doc's widow.

Yes, George, I have seen the previews.

Are you planning on seeing the movie?

Or waiting until it's released on DVD/Blu-ray?
-
Are you planning on seeing the movie?
I thought I might watch the original first.

Re-watch, or have you never seen the original?

Well...

Which was tough, because it was a musical but it was back in the days of silent films.
