I used to be able to go to my history and click the link that would take me right to BK's daily column here.  For over a year that link has utterly disappeared...there are links that take me to various stages of the Discussion boards, but the link that takes me to BK's column utterly disappeared.  I have to reach it by typing in the URL or going to my favourites page.  What happened?

DR Pogue - It could be that your History is just reflecting more recent views and click-thrus. It could still be there, but just pushed down to the bottom of the list. -Especially if you haven't actually typed the URL address lately.

Just Bookmark http://www.haineshisway.com and that should take care of it. -It will also prioritize what comes up first when you start typing in "Haines.." in your browser's address box.

Good morning, all!  DR Jose, welcome back to NYC!

This is day of personal business at home: call Medicare and straighten out some things, schedule a barber appointment for tomorrow, call the Kurt Weill Foundation, and defrost the refrigerator. Yes, this is the day. I can no longer procrastinate. At 9 am, the project begins.

Thank you all for the vibes for my friend. He's a complete mess at the moment. Ron Raines' comment last night on our mutual friend is "I'm afraid he's headed over the cliff." I'm amazed at the choices he's made and the mess he's got himself into. "I am a camera" indeed! All I can do is watch, pity, and pray he'll get his act together, but I doubt it. Pray for him.

Thanks, Larry!

And continued ~~~~~VIBES~~~~~ for your friend.

DR JOSE - when do you do your conducting?

DR JRand - It looks like sometime next week and weekend (after I'm back from San Diego). :)

My computer mystery o' the day:  Betsy was futzing with this netbook last night and managed to make the font on internet pages much bigger than it used to be.  Now I'm smart enough (barely) to know to go into Display on Control Panel and make sure the font size is not set to large, and it wasn't.  So I'm stumped as to what magic she did on this machine.

Well, this is truly weird.  Betsy had told me to hold down CTRL and use the scroll wheel on the mouse to affect font size and nothing happened.  Then she said rather curtly ;) "Are you in an email?"  And I told her no, and she realized she had left out one salient piece of info, so I did that in an email and now fonts are displaying correctly.  Ya learn somethin' everyday, I tells ya.

Here's another teaser trailer for my new book of short stories:

This story is called "Bugsy's Boys".

If you read my memoir, you should recognize that this yarn was inspired by something that actually happened to me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SM0W5FTUrk


BTW: The person playing "David Goodman" (me) is, in fact, my son (David), who graciously allowed me to use his photos for this trailer.

He's not a member of SAG, AFTRA or Equity, so I didn't have to pay him.

 ;)

My refrigerator is a mess! I'm taking a break from all the ice. It's ugly.

The refrigerator is finished and so am I! I've crawled into a tub of cold water to shake off the sweat and cool down. I hope the fridge still works and in another hour I'll check the freezer to see if it's still working.

My barber appointment is set for tomorrow, and then I'll have lunch with Joshie somewhere around City Center. I spoke to Social Security and they advised me to call Medicare with my questions, which is funny since it's the Social Security phone number on the back of the invoice! So, that's my afternoon project.

One hopes there was a missing "y" at the end of of Melody's percentage in the notes.  Or BK has seriously lowered the bar.  ;)

Jose, I have  haineshis way bookmarked and often just type that out to reach the site.  It used to be when I when to haineshisway in my history fromthe previous day, it would show everyplace I had been on the site. It still does except for GK's notes.  I have no idea why.  I used to access notes through my history.  I can't do that anymore.  It's slightly inconvenient, but hardly insurmountable...I'm just curious, if anyone else has experienced this and why it not won't let me access notes through the history links.

Thanks to all for the vibes for my mom.  She wound up not having her gall bladder taken out and is now doing time in a rehab facility until she is back to her independant self again (prolly another week or so.)  In about five weeks or so, she'll return to the hospital to remove both her gall bladder and the stent in her bile duct.

Medicare, Emblem Health (my HMO), and I are happily married now.  I understand all the invoices now and I can sleep easy.

That's something good off my back.

And the refrigerator still works.
