On my way home from therapy, I stopped at my bank branch to find the doors locked;  they had a robbery or a robbery attempt this morning.  I'll check back later in the day.  This is the second one in the past 2-3 years.  Given that last night's MAJOR CRIMES, which had a wonderful Santa production number, was about a bank robbery, I found it all rather timely.

On the bus, there was a deranged black lady sitting in front of me.  Since it's so warm, I wore shorts to therapy, and the first thing she asked me was, Are you from Switzerland?  I flippantly answered yes and shed then proceeded to rattle off questions: are you going back today? tomorrow? I answered soon, and tried to ignore her, so she rattled on to no one about anything, then asked a man who boarded the bus what size shoes he wore, then she threw something at a man with a cello case who was sitting across the aisle, who told her not to do it again. She went back to talking to no one until we reached 88th Street when she got off the bus. How do the crazies know where they are going?

Sorry to hear about the internet problems at Toyland, DR Elmore.  It probably is the router, which these days is easy enough to replace, but of course you wouldn't want to do it without immediate reimbursement.  An advance of the funds would be even better.

I think they have started celebrating too early at Victoria's Secret.  There was just a commercial on television that said all panties are 50% off.

I'm up, I'm up - I think I got just eight hours of sleep so that's good, but I could have used more.

Guess it's time for a serious talk with the helper - so many mistakes lately, the most recent sending three of the wrong CD to someone who needed them for Christmas presents.  The order could not have been clearer.  Happening way too much lately.  I would hate to have to cut her loose and find someone else I trust as much, but it has to stop.  I think her head has just been in the clouds for the last three months - she's in a new romance and all.

Leonard Maltin says the shaking left hand that some people have noticed is NOT Parkinson's, his doctor calls it a benign tremor.....

I had an endless dream about working on a production of Leonard Bernstein's CANDIDE.

So if it's endless, does that mean that you're still in the dream??

Greetings from Otterbein Retirement Community in beautiful Lebanon, OH.  I came out to tend to the business side of Mom's move and caught up with her having her hair done.  I'm having a cappuccino outside the beauty shop and will wheel her back to her room in her very own chair.

DR George, if I'm still dreaming, it's turned into a very difficult nightmare and a really horrid afternoon. Completely frustrating and difficult to negotiate today. I'm ready to go to bed until all this shit ends.

Ginny, your kitchen looks great! I had grey Corian kitchen countertops in my last house and really liked them. I hope you like these as well. What used to be where the cart is now?

I did some laundry because I'm too muddled-headed today to do what I'd planned to do.

DR Elmore's wicked wit cracks me up, but today he had an assistant. I can understand that it may have been an unnerving experience, but I got a good laugh from it. Sorry, Larry.

I bought Herringbone from Amazon and also on iTunes.


If the Kickstarter copy arrives, great. If not, I'm still glad that I supported the project.

I'm glad the project happened, but I paid three times what Amazon is now selling it for.  I and everyone else have been waiting for two and a half years, and I shouldn't have to pay even more to get it. :(

Thanks, DR Jeanne! I'm glad the crazy lady - I forgot to add that she hadn't washed in several years - gave you a laugh. When she got off the bus, her BO trailed her like "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" hangs around every entrance and passing of gas of Evita.
