Hmm, this should do it - page 8, unless someone deletes something.

I have heard very good reviews of THE LINCOLN LAWYER from criminal defense lawyers.

I loved the Michael Connelly book (well, I love almost his books). I'm reading "The Refusal," another one in the series with Mickey Halloran, right now. Can't wait to see the movie.

Cilla - re the quote under your post - "Coherent" was the word I messed up on in the 8th grade school-wide spelling bee finals.

Mine was "embarrass," which was, well, an embarrassment.

the local grocery store has a new system - they have these little handheld scanners that you can take at the front of the store and san and bad your items as you are shopping - you scan your shopper card to take out the scanner so i automatically gives your the special sales prices as you scan -

when you are done shopping you go to any register - scan the "checkout now" bar code and put the scanner into the holder - pay and go

It was definitely faster and more convenient - but I was wondering whether by accepting new technology I was putting someone out of a job

then while standing on line to checkout one of the young employees was talking to the young guy on line in front of me -

he went on and on loudly complaining about how much he hated his job and how he would much rather be anywhere but there ...

my guilt evaporated

Wow. That's a new system, Vixmom. I wonder how long before it makes it out west. My local store just got the self-scan checkout system a few months ago.

I made a meatloaf, mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts for dinner

and then we watched the series finale to Big Love

I know John G is watching this by DVD release so he is a year behind ---

so all I will say is WOW

it is at the local Stop and Shop - I usually shop at Waldbaums where they do have 4 self checkers but only for small orders

Good Evening!

Well... Instead of sitting in front of the TV tonight, I ended up meeting some friends for dinner. Good food, good drink, good desserts(!), good friends, good times! -Just what I needed.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #221 on:** March 20, 2011, 09:42:18 PM »

DR TCB - Sounds like a wonderful memorial service.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #222 on:** March 20, 2011, 09:43:48 PM »

And...

Well...

Now I'm quite sleepy...

So...

I'm not even going to bother trying to be unincoherent...

So...

Goodnight.

Just got a very nice e-mail from someone who read There's Mel, There's Woody and There's You - he found the book by accident while searching for his 1000th book on amazon - I guess he'd been searching for something that had 1970s stuff in it and my book came up, he checked out the "peek inside the book" function and bought it. I like that someone who really knew nothing about me or even who I was, would take a chance and, even better, enjoy the book and take inspiration from it, which is what he wrote.

Very nice, BK.

I have a hankerin' for something sweet, but I'd have to take the car out of the garage and go to the mini-market at the gas station to get it. It's still raining, but not as hard. I shall try to be strong and not go.

The party was great with an amazing spread of hors d'oeuvres. As for the show, we went out on a high. Jack Viertel said at the party that he and Jo Loesser will be meeting about getting a recording of the score. I hope it happens.

Good luck with the recording possibility!

Today's rehearsal went fairly well. Our music director brought his electric guitar and played most of the songs. Our drummer was also playing today. That give the show a very different feel than a piano or keyboard as the lead instrument. It made me think of Spring Awakening...very modern rock sound for a story from the 1800s. Everyone really seemed to like it. What I wondered about was the choreography and the change in tempos that he's making. Our choreographer was given the recording of the movie soundtrack to create choreography and the number of measures for some instrumental breaks are now different. Hopefully, she'll be able adjust things easily. The other issue is that his guitar and the drums are VERY LOUD. We're all going to be singing without any microphones. A couple of people complained tonight about feeling like they're singing too loud over the guitar and drums.
