We ended up hanging out for about 3 hours

That sounds like when Kerry and I met.

He passed away two years ago today.

:(   Two years already.  I think of him often.The

I do. I have several of his items in my living room. And I use his Kitchen Aid mixer quite a bit. So I think of him often.

And having been his first makes them extra special.

Listening to Carmina Burana, the Stokowski recording, which I don't think I've actually ever played.  I've only heard the famous Ormandy recording, which I thought fine, but I just didn't care about the music all that much.  That may be a better band, better soloists and chorus, but Stokowski makes this like I've never heard a note of it - in amazing 1957 stereo.

I was very happy to see them on the menu....why is it that when you let the other person choose the restaurant with the caveat anything but sushi...they always pick a sushi place?

Now I may watch the last two episodes of THE ORVILLE.....auditions for SEND ME NO FLOWERS are a week from Sunday and Monday....so after that....my extended time of inactivity will come to an end.  It has been very nice....


Jrand, was SEND ME NO FLOWERS a play before it was a movie?  It seems like suddenly there are a number of older movies that are being made into stage plays.  Last season, Tacoma Little Theater produced THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE.

Next year, they are closing out the season with TERMS OF ENDEARMENT, followed by THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE.

As far as I know, none of those three ever started out as a play.

I can’t believe that Kerry has been gone two years.  Hugs to you, Laura.

Hi TCB how goes the packing and the mortgage process?


Well, the packing hasn’t started, and there is a rather large fly in this ointment.

The appraisal came beck this morning at $18,000 below the price I was paying.  Since I can’t get financing for an amount over the appraisal price, progress has ground to a halt.

My agent has now returned the paperwork to the seller to see if they will accept $18,000 less for the condo.  If not, the deal is off and I get my earnest money back.

We probably won’t hear back from the seller until Monday.

My guess is that the owner won’t lower the price, and will probably challenge the appraisal.

When we got the inspection back last week, there was a list of mostly minor problems that we requested the seller fix.  Instead, the seller went thru the list and basically picked out which ones he wanted to fix.  Basically a power play, since none of the items were very major.

Plus, there is some confusion as to how much money I have to present at closing.  The mortgage company is listing a figure that is roughly $4,000 more than I was expecting to pay, especially since closing costs were to be paid by the seller.
