Oh, my goodness!  Josh and Sara started doing this sung comedy bit about writing a musical about the Tony Awards, but about a minute into the song, the station interrupted the show with three, count 'em, THREE comnercials, and then it came back to the show as their song ended! >:( WTF??

You want to hear what a great arrangement/orchestration is - listen to this.  Claus Ogerman (and if you don't have the CD we issued, well...) did the chart, Arthur Prysock is the vocalist - the song is called Maman, from the flop musical Mata Hari that David Merrick closed out of town - music by Edward Thomas, lyrics by Martin Charnin.  Prysock is a GREAT singer/interpreter, but it's the chart here that turns this song into a work of art.  I discovered it way back when it came out in 1969 and played this track to death.  Astonishingly never released on CD.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6-ZedP3PwE

The last 4-5 books in the series were sloppy, poorly plotted with unresolved issues, and downright mean to several ongoing characters in the series.  I believe the dying author's notes were used by a ghostwriter to finish them.

Richard and I delivered my bicycle to the AAUW Garage Sale site.  It's an almost 40-year-old Schwinn 3-speed, in great condition.  I decided at my age, considering all the blood thinning medication I take, I have no business risking a broken bone or bleeding injury.  We'd have donated Richard's bike, too, but Rob wants it so he can keep up with Mary Linda.  She has a nice, newer, 10-speed.

I miss my 40-year-old Schwinn 10-speed. I first got a beautiful burgundy Schwinn "Continental" in 1973 or thereabouts, which was stolen. (That's an interesting story in itself, in how absolutely ignorant I was back then in taking the necessary precautions.) A few years later I replaced it with another Schwinn 10-speed, just plain old silver and I don't remember if it had a model name, and that thing lasted me about ten years. I really do want to have one again because I would absolutely ride it around the neighborhood or wherever. But it's never quite reached the priority list.

One of my dance instructors is on blood thinners. Last night, he was showing a tango step when his nose started to bleed. A few minutes before it had been dripping from allergies. I noticed the blood before he did and got him quickly off the floor.

A few years later I replaced it with another Schwinn 10-speed, just plain old silver and I don't remember if it had a model name, and that thing lasted me about ten years. I really do want to have one again because I would absolutely ride it around the neighborhood or wherever. But it's never quite reached the priority list.



All the talk about Schwinn bikes reminded me of this:  our next door neighbor in Buffalo was a wonderful older lady named Gert.  When I was about 12 years old my friend and I were riding our bikes on the main shopping street in South Buffalo.  We had stopped at a store and who should come along but Gert.  She gave us a nice greeting.  I showed her my new bike and she exclaimed how nice it was.  Now if you remember, the word "Schwinn" was (is?) writtten cursive-style on the bike.  I guess the last two letters weren't clear so Gert said "and it's a "SCHWIRR!"

I win....we moved here in 1971....47 years ago.




Only 33 years for me.

That is a long time.


Yes, DR Jane.  I kind of wish I had moved to a bigger condo years ago, but it is nice that I no longer have a mortgage payment.

Richard and I delivered my bicycle to the AAUW Garage Sale site.  It's an almost 40-year-old Schwinn 3-speed, in great condition.  I decided at my age, considering all the blood thinning medication I take, I have no business risking a broken bone or bleeding injury.  We'd have donated Richard's bike, too, but Rob wants it so he can keep up with Mary Linda.  She has a nice, newer, 10-speed.

I miss my 40-year-old Schwinn 10-speed. I first got a beautiful burgundy Schwinn "Continental" in 1973 or thereabouts, which was stolen. (That's an interesting story in itself, in how absolutely ignorant I was back then in taking the necessary precautions.) A few years later I replaced it with another Schwinn 10-speed, just plain old silver and I don't remember if it had a model name, and that thing lasted me about ten years. I really do want to have one again because I would absolutely ride it around the neighborhood or wherever. But it's never quite reached the priority list.

DR George we could have used your skills today assembling our new bench, that is if your skill extend to assembling without directions.

There were a multitude of various screws and only one shown on the partial directions where to put it.

I spent some time at Best Buy today. I was very, very pleased to talk to an Apple consultant there. He's an Apple employee, not Best Buy. He was very knowledgable and had excellent people skills. No pushing, just lots of information. We discussed all sorts of technical issues, techie to (former) techie.

I bought one of the smaller iPads and have now set it up. Yes, there's a learning curve. I'm used to my Macbook and keyboard. Not sure whether I'll buy a keyboard for the iPad. I need some time to get used to it. I will return to Best Buy, though, because I received such excellent customer service.

There is a Samsung person at our Best Buy.  When I purchased my tablet the rep set it up for me.  I wonder if there is also an Apple person.

I remembered that I had some unopened vegan baloney (bologna?) slices and wanted to use them, so I bought some multi-whole-grain bread and noticed some other flavors of vegan "slices."  One is "herb rubbed" and another is "spice rubbed" and I forget what the third kind was.

Post by: George on June 07, 2018, 11:42:46 PM
I brought them all home and made a couple of sandwiches (the bread is fairly small) with the four different kinds of meatless "slices" and some sliced chipotle cheese (real cheese) slices and organic mayonnaise and some cream cheese.  I must say that they were pretty darned good.

I toasted the bread but because the bread is thin, they crisped up pretty quickly, and were more crispy than toasted.  I didn't burn them, so that's good.  Next time, I'll make them without toasting the bread.  But definitely some keepers. :)
