Yesterday's T.O.D.

I was not much of a Beatles fan.  I didn't dislike them, I just wasn't a big fan.  I never purchased any of their albums or 45's.  (A 45 is a..... oh, never mind).  Of all of their albums, I enjoyed SGT. PEPPER the best.

But that is good, George.  At least you didn't ask "Who are the Beatles?"

I am seeking an Al Jolson impersonator who is also an accomplished ACTOR.

Why?

Because I would like to do an audio version, via ACX, of my one-person stage play, JOLSON.  The right person should have his own recording set-up and be capable of editing the music and sound effects (supplied by me) into the finished production.  This would be a 50/50 royalty share deal, and our relationship would be as actor-director.  We would approach this project as if we were doing a stage play.

Since I'm currently in production with 4 of my non-musical plays, I won't really get to this project until early next year, but:

If you know somebody who might be right for this, please have them contact me.  Thank you.

Enjoying a VERY slow morning here. 

I’ve got the day to myself, and I intend to ketchup on a few things such as checking out a few movies and such that have been waiting for my attention.

At some point food and libation will be involved.

A few months ago I splurged on the anniversary set of SGT. PEPPER ... which I have yet to even break open.  This isn’t the one with the vinyl — I already own a couple of excellent pressings — but if I recall correctly, the CD and SACD transfers are new and are supposed to be top-notch.

I had been sitting on the toilet with the lid down as I scooped out the litter box.  Annabelle chose that moment to let me know how much she loved me, chattering away and rubbing against me.  When I finished scooping, I picked her up, petted her, and then tried to stand.  I lost my balance and fell backward over the toilet.  She jumped out into the hallway, my lower back hit the sink,  and I landed in a tangle on my back between the tub and the toilet.  I missed her water dish and I missed the little box.  Luckily, I also missed cracking my head on the edge of the tub or the sink.

I lay there, thinking, did I break a rib?  Well, I don't think I did, but my back was in a lot of pain and I am moving cautiously.  I've been having balance issues and this was the scariest.

You are indeed fortunate.  I know from a couple of people’s experiences that falls in bathrooms can be particularly hazardous.  Another thing you don’t want to crack your head on is a bathtub faucet.

After a week here and the realization that the place is hers, Annabelle has decided to be frisky this morning.  she had a round of head butting with me, then she rolled onto her back to let me pet her belly.  Then I got out my fish-on-a-rod toy and she played huntress for a bit, tracking the fish while she hid behind book cases to pounce on it.

Two items we don't purchase there.  No one else that I know of gives you 180 days to return hearing aids if you decide to do so.  I just did that just shy of the time limit and then purchased a different set.  I am not sure if I actually hear better.  These connect directly with my iPhone, which I guess I will be keeping for now, giving me more control for sound adjustments through the phone app once I figure it all out.

I'm up, I'm up - almost eight hours of sleep and what a weird dream I was having. I'll give you a little precis: Dear reader Jeanne showed up unannounced but I seemed to be living at the Shores or some high-end apartment building.  She of the Evil Eye was there, and then another Jeanne showed up unannounced and I thought what are the odds of two dear reader Jeannes showing up at the same time.  I don't think I'd shaved in a week and I was still in bed and wanted to stay there.  She of the Evil Eye was using Tide pellets of some sort rather than the powder in the box were hundreds of safety pins (I do understand the significance of the latter, I think).  I suggested we spend the day together walking on the Ocean Park pier boardwalk or something but only after I got up.  Then I got up.

Never mind that I only know ONE dear reader Jeanne or on Jeanne period, never mind I've never used Tide pellets (do they even exist), never mind I couldn't go a week without shaving - it was WACKY.

We pretty much got my entire first floor cleaned and mostly organized.  I have no idea where anything is anymore, but it's organized. :-\

;)

The problem with organizing.  Of course if everything was organized to begin with then it would not have to be moved and lost ;D

No, the problem is that my mom did the organizing and she didn't tell me where anything is!  At least, if I'd have done it, I'd know where everything is.  But then if I'd have done it sooner (or on a regular basis), she wouldn't have to do it for me. ::)

;)

Then you are better than I am.  I know where things are in my mess but rarely where I put them after I organize.

I resemble that comment.  Just this morning, i was looking for a calculation I'd done a while back, knew exactly where it had been sitting for a long time, but forgot what place I'd "organized" it.

Tuned into the auction again - amusing.  Same two wacko shilly bidders as yesterday.

The best thing in the auction, a Norman Rockwell Saturday Evening Post original cover painting failed to sell - opening bid was 1.5 million dollars.  A little high end for this particular painting.  But a painting of a chimpanzee valued at 4 to 6K goes for 19K.

Had Wacky Noodles, which were actually Wacky since I got fooled by the cream of mushroom soup I bought - it said "healthy choice" on the side, but since the only cream of mushroom soup they had was this and low sodium, I just assumed it was the normal cream of mushroom but it most assuredly was not.  It had a different consistency and taste, and therefore the Wacky Noodles were not as good.

Larry, so sorry to hear about your fall. Three or four years ago a similar thing happened to me. I was getting up from the sofa when my left leg simply wouldn't hold me and down I went. As if that wasn't bad enough a couple days later I fell again on the stairs next to the driveway. I was laid up for two months as a result.

I've found that what seem like balance issues can actually be the result of weak back muscles. Maybe it's time for PT again. Or a different approach.

VIBES YOU FEEL BETTER SOON!

While weak muscles can cause these problems, my guess is that this incident was due to low blood pressure and/or low sugar sine DR elmore had been bending over prior to standing up.

I made that same mistake with Chunky Soup's Clam Chowder.  I picked up a couple cans to have on hand, and I noticed the Heart Healthy tag on the label, but I just thought they changed the packaging.  WRONG!  They now have two varieties of Chunky Clam Chowder.  The heart healthy one was watery and flavorless.

The birthday party today was fun.  I volunteered to bring a fruit platter.  When I checked the other day, all Safeway had was some melon trays that didn't look very appealing.  So I just ordered one from the deli department.  It cost me a pretty penny (or two), but it was worth it.  The fruit platter got raves from everyone at the party.  Who raves about a fruit tray?
