It was chilly last night, so Annabelle took up 90% of my bed.  She has a knack.  Thatch gave me 10% by either sleeping on me or next to me.

I honestly do not think the new elevator will take six weeks, and I hope I'm right.  The main problems for me will be the walk up and down stairs, carrying things up and down them, and my inability to get to the basement.  Another issue will be every time Annabelle gets out and I have to chase her down.

I must tidy the apartment, take care of the litter, and vacuum.  I need to do laundry soon, today, tomorrow, or Monday, depending on my enthusiasm for accomplishing it, since I want to do all the sheets and towels jammed under the bookshelves as well.  It will be big day of labor.

T.O.D.

Actually, I did have the opportunity to meet the one author I would have wanted to meet.  In fact, he was a guest in my home.

I'm talking about W.R. Burnett, author of LITTLE CAESAR, HIGH SIERRA, THE ASPHALT JUNGLE, etc.

Back in the 1970s, when I was writing my film-oriented books, I did a phone interview with him on, I believe, HIGH SIERRA.  He mentioned that he hadn't seen LITTLE CAESAR and the original SCARFACE, another film he'd written, for years.  I happened to have 16mm prints of both films, so I invited to come to my home for a screening.  He brought his son, and it was a very memorable evening.

The dentist said that the crackdown on opioid use means that he can no longer call in prescriptions for painkillers. He suggested I try 2 Advil with 2 Tylenol--at the same time. I heard of this a few months ago, but didn't have a serious toothache then. Since I prefer to start with a conservative dose I took one of each and surprise! Relief! None of this stuff is good for your stomach, but I certainly prefer OTC meds. I hope to get some sleep tonight.

He still needs to see me, which I'm hoping is tomorrow afternoon.

Tonight's concert was a tribute to the city's tricentennial. It featured a lovely soprano, Ana Maria Martinez, singing pieces from Spanish zarzuelas as well as Falla's Siete canciones populares espanolas.

My favorite, though, was the Ravel Alborada del gracioso.

They did such a marvelous job of recreating the Harry Potter world at Universal that when we watch the movies now we feel as if it's been filmed in a locale with which we're familiar, like seeing a movie shot on Long Island or Manhattan

Well, the symphony seems saved for another week. The mayor addressed the 1,200 we had tonight before the concert started and said something would be worked out. I hope. Anyway, it seems to be back on, at least on a week-by-week basis.

That sounds hopeful.

When I was home alone I always appreciated neighbor who stopped by with their snow plows.

We had a fairly big circular driveway in our second Michigan home that was hilly.  The neighbors used a service that charged a flat fee for the season, paid up front, to plow when needed.  They were very reliable.   Depending on how much snow we had it was either a good rate or higher than if we paid individually as needed.  In the end we provably broke even on the deal.

I've never had to shovel snow.  I no longer live in a very snowy area of the country.
