Haines His Way

Oh I remember what I was going to post...did anyone record the half dozen or so 1940s Columbia B musicals starring Ann Miller that played yesterday? My DVR picked up about 3 or 4 of them...they look like a lot of fun...lots of big band like Jan Garber, Kay Kyser, and the like are in them, also.

Sheesh, what was I thinking, asking to move my workspace?  And how have I accumulated so much stuff in the 7 years or so that I've occupied this little corner?

Going through files and pitching a lot of stuff has demonstrated to me how much my job has changed in the 10 years I've worked at this particular library.  And how much libraries and information-seeking have changed overall.

Thanks to DRs JRand and DakotaCelt for the congrats!

Lunch break!

...and your post reminds me I have to make a piano reduction for him.

The best way, of course, is to start with a very good piano stock, and let it simmer on low for an hour or two.  Don't salt the stock, or it will be too salty when it is fully reduced.

 

Jrand, you were about 15 years younger when my avatar was taken as well - or was it 17 years younger?

Having broken my collar bone and torn/chipped my rotator cuff, I know what you're going through.  Speedy recovery.

Re:  Barefoot in the Park.  I probably shouldn't admit this, but the exteriors for the film apartment were done at another building my Uncles owned (pre-renovation, as you may have guessed).

Re:  dog stories.  So many wonderful dogs, so little time.  Among my favorites--my childhood Basset Hound had a reaction to one of her puppy innoculations and her face swelled up in a bizarre fashion (think "Elephant dog", as it were).  I was maybe 4 or 5, playing with my toy soldiers on the floor when I suddenly heard both my older sisters screaming hysterically.  When I went in their room, they were both cowering on the bed, with swollen Happy just sitting there looking at them in that typically forlorn Basset fashion.

More recently (as I think we reported here), we discovered that BeeGee, who is not an outdoor dog, simply "stands up" and rings the doorbell if we leave him out too long.  

Has anyone yet tried to phone DanTheMan?

I sent a card to his home yesterday.  Although I have his home number, I wasn't sure if it was too intrusive to call...

...I also now seem to recall another dog.  Something brown.   ...

The dog, or on the lawn?



 

*gack!* (just saw the time -- and I'm already sooo behind in the day's tasks).  The new theatre floor is complete (yeaaaaa!) and now it's set/prop moving day -- get to move it all back from our off site location and get it all set up before rehearsal tonight (*gack!*).  I have this feeling I may be most errant and truant.... Bye!

DR Ginny:  ***MOVING DAY VIBES*** to you!  

Your post made me mindful of all the issues that libraries face, now that the pace of media and formatting changes has accelerated so quickly.  It's quite a dilemma, really...

The timing of this reflection is perfect, because this afternoon I'm attending a 3-hour staff-input session for our library's latest strategic plan.

The dog, or on the lawn?



 

Or something "upon" the lawn?

That post of DR Ron Pulliam's serves double doody.

Woof.

A story about someone not pooper-scooping in his front yard.

Never has there been a tale of more woe
That that of this shaggy dog and his doody. Oh.
