Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of Kritzerland 117, and now it is time for you to post until the 117 cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: JUGGERNAUT!
-
Congrats on the successful Kritzerland 117, BK!
-
Internet went down for two minutes.

Topic of the Day: certainly not the "best," but consistently good were the Polish dogs at the Costco deli until they got rid of them. ::)
I like the regular hot dogs in their deli, but they haven't brought back the onions, so they're not as good as they could be. ;)
-
And now, I'm off to bed. I have to stay home from work, but I need to get up at a semi-normal time to make some phone calls.
Have a good day, all!
-
I got "some" sleep. About four hours again. But it WAS sleep, and that was something.
-
I shall be on the telephone a little later in the morning to discuss my CPAP issues with the VA office that handles such things. Am hopeful they'll give me the go-ahead to drive down and get some hands-on instruction on the proper way to use a full mask. That would include getting proper hose fittings for the mask I have, but have never used.

Good morning to all. Have a great week.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I'm happy to hear the show went well last night. I enjoyed the photos.
-
Jazz pianist Beegie Adair has died.
-
I slept well until 2:45 or so when the cats took over my bed and held me hostage. The Cole Porter song "Six Little Wives" kept running through my head.
-
Access-a-Ride scheduled for 11:15. We'll see how it goes today.
-
Good morning, all.
-
I don’t know Six Little Wives. What’s it from, Elmore?
-
I love a really good Chicago dog with all the celery salt, relish, sport pepper and everything piled high on top of a Vienna beef dog. We had a hole-in-the-wall place downtown where the owner treated each dog like a chef handling foie gras.
-
And I always loved a New York dog with onions and spicy brown mustard when I would go to games at Yankee or Shea Stadium.
-
Access-a-Ride vibes for Elmore.

JUBILEE!

In my hometown there used to be a wonderful restaurant, The Liberty, at 1212 Central Avenue. It's now now long gone, but they had the best hot dogs ever. For a treat, when we were growing up, my mother would call an order -after asking each of us, how many do you think you can eat? - and my dad would drive into town and pick it up. When I was living in Middletown in the 1970s, I would simply park in the lot behind the restaurant, run and and buy a few for lunch or dinner. God, they were good!
-
Good morning, all.

Kritzerland show sounds like a real winner. And great pictures. Now where's the video? :D

Yes. We want video.

I can enjoy a good hot dog in any number of styles. As for the very best ones I remember having...
Certainly, a Chicago dog. There are so many mom & pop places scattered around the area, a.k.a. Chicagoland, that it's impossible to know them all and to choose. My memories of favorite ones in my time there include the place just down the road from my apartment complex (looks like it's still there). I'd take two home, with fries (Chicago dogs are traditionally accompanied by french fries, just another of the great things about the place) a couple of nights a week. Other places, too, of course, and they all make them just slightly different, and they are all so delicious.
Chili dog with onions at the original Nathan's in Coney Island. Theirs are good even at their damned mall stores, but there is nothing like eating them hot off the grill at the stand-up counter while taking in the sights and the sea air. Nothing, I tell you.
I know I've had a few standout chili-cheese-onion dogs, but couldn't say where. I might have had them at my favorite L.A. places like Hamburger Hamlet or Ship's Galley coffee shops. Normally at such places I'd always have the burgers, but I'd make an exception now and then.

That looks and sounds like a wonderful place. I have several such places from my childhood in Columbus and Fort Lauderdale, and from college years in Cleveland. Heartbreaking that they've all been gone for decades.
-
I have yet to try a hot dog (or "Coney") at the Cincinnati chili places, and I will make a point of doing so next time.
In the meantime, I have now more or less perfected GREAT chili-cheese-onion dogs at home -- and in so doing, I've probably managed to eat more of them in the last couple of years than in all the years prior. Oy!
-
Good morning.
-
My DH is from Chicago, so of course he found a local hot dog stand. Those are probably the only hot dogs I have eaten in the last 40 years.
-
We got about a quarter-inch of that white
sh-- last night, and thankfully it was one of those that we successfully blew off with the leaf blower first thing this morning. That may sound laughable, but no plow or snowblower would be able to pick it up, and if anyone had driven over it first, those tracks would be a thin but solid stretch of ice for days to come.
It might happen again tonight, and we are READY FOR IT.
-
I am about to begin my five mile walk today.

You can pick up an extra mile for me. I’m still leery of the outdoors because of pollen. And it rained overnight, so the mold will be thick.

SUch wonderful notes and photos from the show last night.
I love the cast picture!!!

Hello DR MICHAEL!
-
Betty Jo and Steve are having marital problems on Petticoat Junction....Betty Jo was all packed to go home when the rest of the family moved in on them because the Shady Rest was being fumigated....
Things worked out okay.
-
I'm hungry.
-
I’m glad things worked out okay, JRand. Life at the Junction is hard.
-
I'm hungry.
So am I. I could use a hot dog or five.
-
Yes, yes it is DR JOHN G.
-
I started to read Safe Passage last night and got 60 pages into it in no time. The stories of everyone from Rosa Ponselle to Maria Callas are great. Can hardly wait to get back to it.
-
Marcie from Jack's Trash just called and my pickup day has been changed from Friday to Tuesday starting tomorrow. I hope I remember......I will have one whole bag - since my last pickup was on Friday.
I may add the dying plant from the living room since I will have a nearly empty container.
-
Yes, yes it is DR JOHN G.
I think it’s because Uncle Joe moves too slow.
-
From DR George:
I read the e-mail that went out and it kind of looks like if I've been vaccinated and boosted within a certain period of time (and I am), then I can actually go to work with a very well fitting mask, but it's not absolutely clear, so I'll call in the morning when I get up.
I gather you won't return to work until you feel better.
-
From Bruce:
Jeanne, I didn't drive to Palm Springs, Robert did. No way I'd chance the motor car doing that drive.
I didn't imagine you had driven.
-
DR Ron I hope you slept well after your enjoyable day.
-
I got "some" sleep. About four hours again. But it WAS sleep, and that was something.
Sorry though I wish I had gotten four hours last night.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
Really enjoyed the stories and photos from Kritzerland 117.
-
The Danbury Mall used to have a Nathan's outlet in their food court. Perhaps they still do. I thought their dogs (and their fries) were pretty great.
-
Finished Frank Langella's Dropping Names last night. It was a fun read, funny and at times quite moving.
-
Frank Langella and my father toured Europe in a performing group many many years ago.
-
Now I'm craving hot dogs, for some strange reason.
-
My friend's two new kittens are still cute as buttons!

Yes, I used to stop in there occasionally and it was always good. They might still have it, but I've hardly been in there during the past two years and they've considerably redesigned the food court so I'll have to check.
They did lose the Panda Express, causing me no end of distress. :) I had literally just "discovered" it and enjoyed one (1) whole meal there, just before the pandemic hit!

The Big Laundry has commenced.

Onward!

Casablanca was in theaters over the weekend for its 80th anniversary. I have seen it on the big screen. Once. It would be nice to see it that way again.

Very cute!
-
Two very good things:
1) My contact at the VA is ordering me a new mask and associated fittings/hoses to go on my CPAP. By giving him my CPAP's serial number and device number, he was able to check all my settings remotely and make adjustments.
2) My sinuses have miraculously cleared and remained clear for the past hour or so. I cannot explain it except to say that I have changed my seating position in my den to be as far away from the HVAC register as possible. My instincts tell me that is a key thing.
Ah, me.
-
Finished Frank Langella's Dropping Names last night. It was a fun read, funny and at times quite moving.
I met him a couple of times, a very nice man. He played Henry Higgins in the 1990(?) Houston Grand Opera's My Fair Lady. He was wonderful. When I was workiong at Barnes & Noble, one of my co-workers, a very stupid boy, asked him why he broke up with Whoopi Goldberg, and he snapped "None of your busdiness" and only talked to me.
-
It must be a wonderful thing to have your life revolve around music and theater. I always enjoyed my times, in the remote past, doing musical theater, but I cannot imagine how rewarding it must be to produce shows with talented singers/musicians on a regular basis.

Fortunately, the local Panda Expresses around here have endured.

It's great to hear that someone like that is really nice, when they're already so damned enjoyable on the screen.

That would be cool! I did buy the Blu-ray Two-Disc Ultimate Collector's Edition (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EL6EH2/) a few years ago, but it's not the same as seeing in a theater on a REALLY big screen!
-
I did see The Wizard of Oz on the big screen a few years ago, and it was redone in 3D! And done quite well!

I'm up, I'm up - five hours of sleep.

Food will arrive around two, so I think I'll mosey on over to the mail place and see what's what in about fifteen minutes.

DR George, I think you should go to a testing site and see how your test comes out.

I am very glad, DR elmore3003. I was going to send you that notice, but figured you'd seen it. And you did!

I chuckled at this headline:
"Capitol rioter asks court for lenient sentence, arguing that he already suffered by losing work, access to Airbnb, and his TSA precheck status"
TSA precheck, duh ;D

He deeply regrets his actions which is good.
-
That's great news, Elmore.

My sister's boyfriend sent me a link to Kaiser's website for and e-visit. I'm going through that right now.

Good news yesterday from DR GINNY about DH RICHARD.

Continued health vibes for DR GEORGE and DR RON PULLIAM.
-

Well, he says he does. They all say that.
-
When I was very very young.....our local drugstore - Rexall - had a lunch counter. And the hot dogs were in a case stuck on spokes that went around as the cooked.
I always enjoyed having a hot dog there.....with mustard.
-
DR JANE my nephew decided he didn't have time to work on Smarty yesterday - so he is coming next week.

I hope you didn't need to drive anywhere.
-
I am still waiting to see what my settlement from the Stephen Sondheim estate will be.....
I have my deposit slip ready to fill out.
-
DR JANE I still have my Petey Cruiser, so transportation is not a problem.....and Smarty needs to get a jump start....this cold weather is hard on his battery.
-
Do you plan to keep both cars or eventually sell one of them?
-
Had a Chinese chicken salad from Stanley's for food, picked up one package, proofed a bit. I managed to go a bit over two weeks without a battery problem, which is a record these days, but I knew when I locked it last night that it would probably be dead this morning. When I pressed the lock button on the fob, nothing happened, twice - then it worked. What I should have done is start the car again and let it run a bit, then lock it. If it doesn't beep on the first try, that's what has to be done. So, had to charge it before going out. It's fine now.
-
If you visit my Facebook page, some of the parents have been posting videos from last night - probably four or five up right now.
-
I've been on hold with Kaiser for literally an HOUR! :o
-
PAGE FIVE DANCE!!
-
I've been on hold with Kaiser for literally an HOUR! :o
Groan.
-
I hung up. I'll call back later
-
Good luck.
-
Can you contact them online?
-
Probably, but I think I found the answers to my questions, so I'm not worried.
-
Are they recommending you get tested again? Can you even get tested from them?
-
Good night, friends.
-
'night

Finishing up The Magus tonight. I can't say it's my favorite novel, but it has certainly held my attention. And I loved the descriptions of Greece.
-

He deeply regrets his actions which is good.
Well, he says he does. They all say that.
Yes, they are always terribly sorry once they've been caught.
-
The day went rather well, considering it started rather badly, sinuses-wise.
They stayed clear for about five hours, but once the evening arrived, the congestion returned. Not as severely as before, however,
I do believe time-of-day impacts such things. Any time I have been under the weather, the evenings are always the worst time of day for my symptoms.
-
Me and Zero Guests.
Another predictable ending to my posting on this here site!
Night!

-
DR George how are you feeling today?
I'm feeling okay, so far. A little coughing, but nothing else.
George, if you have tested positive twice, you need to notify your local health department. They are trying to get a more exact count of all positive CoVid tests.

T.O.D.
My favorite hot dog memories are mostly at a Nathan’s. I never made it to Coney Island, but there was a great Nathan’s a block east of Time Square, probably on 43rd or maybe 44th.
-
There was another Nathan’s just outside of Lodi, NJ on Route 3.
-
And yes, there was another great Nathan’s at the mall in Paramus.
-
All those Nathan’s dogs were chili, cheese and onion.

I found the number to call, so I'll call in the morning.

Good.

I just remembered another great hot dog (non-Nathan’s). There is a place in town called Crazy Eric’s that took a hot dog, cut the length many times almost thru, fanned it, and then fried it on the grill and served it on a hamburger bun with all the hamburger condiments
-
I found out today that my Rite-Aid store will deliver prescriptions for free.
