Boil your water - if you live in my town. It seems maintenance at the Morningstar Water Tower let pressure drop below 20 psi, so for cooking and drinking we have to boil our water for one minute. However since I use bottled water, I will be fine!
And the word of the day is: ALTILOQUENT!
I liked John Cassavettes in some movies when he played a juvenile delinquent. I didn't much care for his movies as a director when actors improvised......ugh.
Good morning, all! I had a dream involving our DR Ginny last night, but now I cannot for the life of me remember what the dream was about....
Wow, someone is buying the softcover of the new book - we've gone from about 500,000 in the sales rank to 76,000 - out of six million books that ain't bad.
Good morning, world.
So, here it is. Finally. The inspiration to end years of procrastination and get me some Cassavetes. I was immediately attracted to "Husbands" (Bars! Grand Central! Suburbs!) upon stumbling over it on TV many years ago. Did I say TV? Did I say years? DECADES. Early to mid-1970s. I wonder what channel would have been running anything like that back then. Seems pretty remarkable.

DR Elmore, did you dream that I was in NYC? That's NEXT week...
I've always been more of a Cassavettes fan than not. Loved "Faces," "Shadows"and "A Woman Under the Influence" possibly the most. Perhaps I just love anything with Gena Rowlands in it.

Now, Henry Jaglom is someone I could never understand. Never found anything remotely appealing in the three or four films of his that I watched, so I stayed away.

John G - I hope you'll give a chance anyway to Mr. Jaglom's JUST 45 MINUTES FROM BROADWAY, which features one of my dearest friends, the talented writer and actress Harriet Schock (best known for writing songs like Ain't No Way to Treat a Lady and Hollywood Town, and also co-starred in Henry Jaglom's exciting but controversial film Irene in Time)

:P We get that quite frequently, DR JRand, because we live in an older part of town and the infrastructure is aging. It usually takes me a couple of days after the all-clear to be able to drink the tap water.

What I Just Learned:
Saturday, May 19th, is International Learn to Fly Day.
Which I did, back in '77-'78, at Van Nuys Airport. Logged around 270 hours before various and sundry life changes kind of shoved it aside. But man, I loved it, and still would. Can't imagine the FAA would approve my vision the way it is now. Not that I'd even bother trying. Getting that approval every couple of years was hard enough when I was but a li'l 30-something.
From Bruce:QuoteTake a break, then get a beautiful new puppy!

I am ready to be dogless for the first time in my life after Beegee and Blanche depart. Betsy is threatening divorce. (That's nothing new). ;)
Maybe you would if you're prone to motion sickness anyway, but most first-timers are surprised to find that flying in a small plane feels very much like it does in a large one, except being a thousand times more fun. This of course depends on one's being smart enough to fly in appropriate conditions for the plane. Also, I used to make sure the scaredy-cat sat in front so I could let them get a feel for the controls, which in my own limited experience never failed to completely win them over to it.

It sounds wonderful. I am very prone to motion sickness and can even get car sick when I'm driving.

Wow, that's unusual. I think. But what do I know? I'll get motion-sick if I try to read in a car, no question about that. Sometimes, at least in the past, just sitting in the back seat on, say, a windy mountain road. Never air-sick, though, love it too much for that. Well, maybe if I got SCARED enough....
Scrolling on the computer or using the old microfilm files too long can give me motion sickness.
Well on top of the bad water - the Polaroid Television gave up the ghost.....so I had to go buy another television. I got an Emerson 39" HDTV with all the connections I needed and it is now up and running.....we shall see what happens with all the peripherals I also installed.
My husband learned to fly. I was criticized by others for not going up in the little plane with him. I did a couple of trips just to shut people up. I found it to be very nerve-wracking and I didn't enjoy it at all. We came to an agreement: I would not coerce him into going to musicals if he didn't coerce me into flying with him.

The Social Security website says that you can apply at 61 years and 9 months......that will be May 26.....or can I apply now since we are already into May?
This flight to New York on JetBlue is costing close to eight hundred bucks! Happily, I'm not paying for it, but in what universe does a JetBlue flight cost eight hundred bucks.

I don't know, not that it matters. You won't get it any sooner by applying now.

I forgot about that. It was years before I could use a computer. Even now if Keith is scrolling while I'm looking at the computer I have to close my eyes.
I had an appointment this morning for every woman's 2nd favorite screening. Richard went along and afterwards we went to scope out the new YMCA that's next to the new hospital. We're probably going to join when we get back from New York/Washington. We shopped for some groceries and picked up some library books and now we're in for the day.

New fountain arrived. Smashed to bits. I returned it to the local Home Depot which processed a refund.

Not too often, DR Jane. They're usually in shops or departments for which I'm not the demographic ;)

DR JMK it looked pretty sturdy in the photo - somebody really had to work to smash it!
Hmmm only Fox Channel 59 doesn't look so hot - so they may be having transmission problems.....everything else is as good if not better than the old TV.
But yes DR JANE - I am a Virgo - I would not hesitate to return it.....the SAME DAY I bought it!
but it will be a lovely royalty check, I'm sure!
I just learned that the Tabard Theatre in London is performing JUBILEE this summer as part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. I won't get to see it, but it will be a lovely royalty check, I'm sure!

I watched THE IRON LADY dvd last night. It wasn't really what i was expecting. I knew Meryl Streep was going to play old Margaret Thatcher. But for some reason i didn't realize that that was most of the story. I would have much rather just seen the actual story of Thatcher from when she was young.

After our last dog, I said no more dogs. So far I have stuck to that. I'm not sure about cats. I would like to have just one cat, I think. Or else I'd like to have just fosters.
This is my high school study hall, which you can see was actually, um, a hall. It was the 3rd floor back hall that went behind the fly space above the stage in the auditorium. They just walled in each end and VOILA! a study hall:

DR Jane, I know a cat that might soon need a home*....if you don't mind an overweight, super fluffy orangish cat named Princess whose only activity is going from your bed, to your lap, to the food bowl, and starting over again the next day (with potty breaks, of course).
*My niece Katie and her husband may need to move away from Salem, depending on where he gets a job at.
I don't think I've ever known it to be so cold in mid May.
Before we got our first dog we were at a pet store (before we knew what horrors they were) looking at puppies and wanting one desperately. I asked the older couple next to us why they didn't take the puppy they liked. The response was they were done having pets. At the time I couldn't imagine such a thing, now I get it.
For me it is harder not to have a cat than a dog.
LOL I don't think so. :)
I am anxious to see the results of DWTS.
I guess Glee has already started. It's 2 hours tonight. Maybe i'll start that now.
I wonder if it is normal for a 3 year old to make herself a birthday card! :)

I just made, and ate, a damned fine guacamole.

So strange. We've had summer weather for at least 2 months now.
When I was in college I was working on my hot air balloon pilot license. I love to fly in balloons. It's been years now. I had a friend who owned one and was in the hot air balloon club at the University of Iowa.
I'm getting excited about going to Memphis this week. Cat/house sitter is lined up. I signed up for a riverboat cruise one night of the meeting. It's a two hour cruise with barbeque, chinese food and live music. I've never done the paddleboat thing, so I'm looking forward to that. I think i'm going to try to find time to go to Graceland this time.

we are not really home enough to be fair to a pet

But, I don't really miss having a cat.
