Well, you've read the notes, the notes were the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the everyday cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: DELVE!
-
Good morning, all!

Today would have been John McGlinn's 67th birthday. I met him in April 1983. He had been working for Ira Gershwin on Gershwin show scores, and he came to an orchestra rehearsal for The New Amsterdam Theatre Company's concert production of the Gershwin-Romberg show Rosalie. I had orchestrated several cut songs for the concert and he was complimentary. He was at the time helping John Mauceri as well with the City Opera production of Candide, and I was curious about that.
In 1984, he called me and said, "I need an orchestrator and you're the only one I know," and we worked on the Book-of-the-Month Club recording "Songs of New York," the first major recording for each of us. Our friendship was difficult, tortured, and not easy; he borrowed things and money and never returned them; he broke promises and lost friends, but I never in all those years had a bad time working with him. I once said to him, "your problem is you don't know which battles you can afford to lose to win the ones you really need," and in the end he let his demons destroy him. Ted Chapin used to say that he burned his bridges while he was standing on them.
There were projects he wanted to record but never accomplished because of all those burning bridges: a complete Camelot, Oklahoma!, Love Life, Sweet Adeline, among others. I believe in 2001 the stress of recording too many things for the Packard Humanities Institute gave him a nervous breakdown, and that led to a logn decline of work and income before a heart attack finished him off in 2009. Rest in peace, John. You are still missed.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Too much to work on today.
-
I have no plans for today. I have things to take to the basement, mail/packages to pick up, and God knows what else will come down the pike.
-
Good morning, all.

Well, those unemployment payments are listed as released yesterday on my payment history on the NY State Dept of Labor site, but they are not in my account this morning.
-
I have to change my ways at night by going to bed without the iPad or phone within reach. It’s become a habit to settle in but start reading or watching something, and then I get a second wind, and once past a certain point I can’t fall asleep. Then I toss and turn, “trying” to sleep, which never works. Of course eventually sleep does come, but way too late and it’s not solid or of good quality. And so it goes.
-

I just checked my bank, and an amount for two more weeks of that just landed. So now I have three. However, for me, these particular payments don’t get shown on my CT PUA site at all, even though they’re coming from the same place as the others.
-
And the scant information available on my bank’s site doesn’t indicate what each deposit is for. It just says CT DOL etc. and the date of deposit, which is already obvious.
-
Thanks as always, DR Elmore, for the tribute to John McGlinn. I will listen to something of his today.
-
The one dream I remember was a weird one (but of course!) in which I was with some people I know (but their identities aren’t clear) at what seems to be Walt Disney World, and there were a couple of strange interactions.
Isn’t that fascinating?
-
I have a basic distrust of ATMs. It didn’t start that way when I began using them some 25 years ago, because I initially liked the convenience and all. But within those first couple of years, a good friend and I each had three or four mishaps in both deposits and withdrawals that eventually turned me off to trusting that there wouldn’t be repeats. The time it takes to get issues sorted out isn’t acceptable to me, and the possibility of something happening with a large amount, or with a transaction that is absolutely critical for any other reason, is a risk I refuse to take on. I am all too happy to keep bank tellers employed by partaking of their good services face to face.

This was me last night, and then I woke up too early.
-
My cousin Carol served us some delicious DELVE eggs when we were at her house on Wednesday.
-
Shanah tovah, y’all.
-
I do not use ATMs because of the stories I hear - from friends and family.
Of course nobody talks about the successful transactions [except MR BK in the notes] but I do hear some horror stories [like MR BK in the notes as well].
So I'll just stick to the old ways and means.
-
I liked Mel Brooks’ movie, The DELVE Chairs.
-
Our high temperature today will only be around 70 degrees so no air conditioning needed again!
My grass has refused to grow - so no grass cutting is necessary this week.
-
Thanks everyone for the good wishes. I should be getting my script soon and know which parts I have been assigned in addition to Mr. Fezziwig.....
-
Nice pictures DR GEORGE.
All nice things to have and to remember.
-

Alexa didn’t hear John McGlinn correctly and started to play someone named John McClain. No. Must go to YouTube.

Vibes for Singdaw today.

DR George, I am so sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Major surgery vibes to DR Singdaw! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I discovered I have three tins of biscuits that are about to expire....I only have two baking sheets.....so I am now baking about 20 biscuits.....

I read tins of biscuits and imagined a variety of tins such as this.

I was hoping that Joshie and I might have lunch at Cafe Frida tomorrow, but they have folded. This is very sad. They had the best guacamole ever. I will miss them.
-
BJ, the cute bull dog I posted about yesterday, was not killed, contrary to what I was told around 3:30 yesterday afternoon. He was rescued by a group called Pound Hounds, and I am quite happy about that.
-
Friday afternoon greetings! Sorry I didn’t check in here yesterday. It was a somewhat busy day that started with some sad news from our sister-in-law - her younger sister passed away earlier in the week.
-

Oh, no! We had a nice dinner there with you several years ago. I don’t usually like guacamole, but theirs was one I enjoyed.
-
Deepest condolences to DR George and his family...
-
I was sorry to have missed DR Singdaw yesterday. Thinking of him today...
-
I'm up, I'm up - seven and a half hours of sleep.
-
Talked to claims and money will be in my account on Monday morning, but is showing as credited now.
-
Well, I'd like to propose a toast! Here's to the assholes running Facebook. Two hours ago, I posted a photo of white supremacist Trumpers on my photo album "Trump's Master Race." They told me I had violated community standards and blocked me for 30 days. I sent Feedback apologizing and told them I had taken the photo off Facebook yesterday. Just now Facebook sent me a notice that they had restored my photo, which I then deleted, but I'm still blocked.

From DR George, a post I missed last night
Yup...and he said at the time that they did NOT pick the name because of him. His name is George, also!
;D
-
I had started reading the article in the Washington Post this morning. It was next to an article on an evangelical preacher in Idaho who preached against masks. Now he’s been in ICU for two weeks with the virus. His wife has it and his staff have it.
-
Apparently I missed an exciting lightening storm last night.
-
So sorry to hear that, DR Ginny.
The plethora of bad news this week has got to STOP.

Is Cafe Frida the one we ate at following Desperate Measures?
-
Rain, blessed rain. It has stopped now and the sun is kind of out. It is still rather dreary but 100% better than it was.

Oh man, how screwed up can these things get?
I have much to accomplish the rest of today, but that makes me want to DRINK the toast that DR Elmore proposes.
-
I never imagined I would ever be this excited to have unhealthy air ;D
-
I put a mask on about 40 minutes into the walk when my throat began to bother me. I should have done so sooner.
-
I just saw that DR Singdaw is awake, functioning mentally, and not in much pain. All went as planned.

No, Cafe Frida is was on Columbus Avenue, nearer to DR Elmore's home. After Desperate Measures we went to a place in the theater district, I think.

This almost isn't worth posting, but I'm in the mood and it's a pleasant little BK-style tale:
In one of the "You know you grew up in..." groups I'm in on Facebook, this one about South Florida, someone posted a good aerial photo of one of the major I-95 interchanges being built around 1960. It was instantly recognizable to me, and indeed, it has hardly changed in the intervening years. But someone asked where it was, so another guy posts a Google Maps shot of it as it looks today...only it's not the right one, it's a completely different mass of spaghetti where several highways come together several miles away, and looks nothing like the original posted one. So I said no, it's the one at (such and such location). And what does the wrong guy do? He doubles down and says no, it's the one in the other place. So I went to Google Maps, framed the shot perfectly, and posted a link to it, saying politely, "Here you go." A couple of other people agreed with me (not that they had to), and guess what? Mr. Wrong hasn't been back either to see my followup proof, or to acknowledge it in any way.

No. Cafe Frida is around the corner from me on Columbus Avenue. I think after Desperate Measures we went to La Cucina on 9th Avenue.

Ah thanks. Yes, we walked there, and I'm trying to remember the name of the place.
-
Thank you, DRs Jane and John G, for your words of condolence. Janet was very much a part of our extended family and we'll miss having her at holiday gatherings - whenever we can resume having them.
-
Yep, 9th Avenue. Thank you, DR Elmore.
-
Yep, 9th Avenue. Thank you, DR Elmore.
There's another Mexican place on 9th Avenue where Richard and I have been with DR Elmore. It's called El Centro.

Frustration with FedEx here. Last week I ordered some art supplies from Blick and received a shipping notification on Friday. Progress was making sense as my package crossed Pennsylvania on Saturday and arrived in Zanesville, OH, early Sunday morning. I thought, "Oh, goodie, it's almost here!"
WRONG!
Tuesday morning it was in Indianapolis, Indiana, which means the truck must have missed the exit from I-70 west onto I-75 south. Next thing I knew (Wednesday evening) it was in Grove City, OH, which means it missed the exit from I-70 east onto I-75 south and was almost back to where it had been Sunday morning.
At 4:50 this morning it left Miamisburg, OH, on a delivery truck. Miamisburg is less than half an hour from our house and my art supplies are not here yet - 12 hours later.
-
Maybe it's on DR CHAS SMITH Florida highway DR GINNY.
-
Condolences to you and your family DR GINNY.....these posts probably should have been posted in reverse.
-
Yes DR JANE - THOSE kinds of biscuit tins.
I now have 21 biscuits.....very brown on the bottom, so I can't really offer them to anyone.....I will be eating biscuits for a long time. They are now in a big bowl in my refrigerator.
AND to add insult to injury, my cousin Carol brought me the loaf of zucchini bread she offered me yesterday AND I have 3/4 of a cherry pie and all but ONE slice of a pizza......
I may be in shape to play both of the Fezziwigs after all.

Good evening!

Typical of that lot. Keep calling him out by name and make sure the name is "tagged" so he HAS to see it.
-
Thank you, DRs JRand and KevinH.

Maybe it's on DR CHAS SMITH Florida highway DR GINNY.
It was delivered about 10 minutes after I posted my lament.

Good afternoon.

So glad to hear that Singdaw is doing well.

DR ChasSmith, while I was giving the cats their evening treat I heard on tonight's CBS news that the NY State Bank, Key Bank, had a 3-hour glitch this morning and the additional unemployments went out this afternoon. I checked my bank just now and they have landed. I understand from the news that we are in for three more payments.
-
So glad to hear that Singdaw is doing well.
I got an email from him. He seems good. I expect he will show up here tonight or tomorrow.
-
BK, I discovered a Requiem I do not know. I do like Saint-Saens Christmas Oratorio quite a lot.

Freeze the zucchini bread in slices so you can pull out one at a time. Trash the burned biscuits before you eat them all.
-
DR Singdaw I am actually here when you are. I am extremely pleased to see you.
-
I survived the surgery. Thanks for all the.comments of support. I will remain in the hospital for a few days. I cannot tell you what a balm it is to read your posts and see your faces. What a blessing!
-
Thanks, DR Jane!
-
And, I'll have you know, tonight I will be enjoying TWO different flavors of jello for dinner: berry and citrus lime!

There is an unexplained mystery: I went into surgery wearing a pale lavender paper gown. Now, I find that I am wearing a polka-dot blue cotton gown. Just noticed this. I guess I'm ready for my next production number.

You just had to brag, didn't you? I hope there are no lima beans lurking anywhere near either flavor.

Both sound far nicer than the usual cotton gowns. At St John's the gowns looked like they were from the 1940s.
I wonder if one can draw any conclustions about a hospital from the gowns they offer.

Condolences to you, DR Ginny, on the loss of your friend.

Bruce, did you get your package?
-
TTFN.

Wow, we took two walks today!
-
It is still ugly outside and the air quality is still unhealthy, but the numbers continue to drop along with the rain.
-
And, I'll have you know, tonight I will be enjoying TWO different flavors of jello for dinner: berry and citrus lime!
I hope they are good. I might tolerate the berry but not the citrus lime. Of course when yours choices are limited something is better than nothing ;)
-
I find myself so sad when I think about what is happening in the West right now. Hope you continue to be OK, DR Jane.

Paper! Is this due to covid? Maybe the cotton gowns were in the laundry and they switched you after the surgery.
-

Thank you. Fortunately I don't personally know anyone, or anyone close, that has lost their home. The rain has helped.
-
Ta ta for now. I will probably be back later in the middle of the night.
-
DR Jane---I saw your question earlier today and meant to answer. Yes, my friend told me that she heard that the reason our skies were not clear the other day was because of the fires out west.
-
Thanks DR Kevin.

Awful news: Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died.
-
Sad news right now. She tried so hard to stay with us until the election.
-
In a statement dictated to her granddaughter Clara Spera days before her death, she said, “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new President is installed.”

Well, let's see how fast the disgusting Mitch McConnell tries to take advantage of Ms. Ginsburg's death.

Well, those unemployment payments are listed as released yesterday on my payment history on the NY State Dept of Labor site, but they are not in my account this morning.
Oh, no! >:(

Friday afternoon greetings! Sorry I didn’t check in here yesterday. It was a somewhat busy day that started with some sad news from our sister-in-law - her younger sister passed away earlier in the week.
Oh, my goodness! What's going on?? My friend Judy who works at the local Eagan's posted on FB that her brother died this past weekend. Then, she sent me a message that her adult daughter died yesterday! :o
WTH?? :'(
-
Deepest condolences to DR George and his family...
Thanks, Ginny.

I had started reading the article in the Washington Post this morning. It was next to an article on an evangelical preacher in Idaho who preached against masks. Now he’s been in ICU for two weeks with the virus. His wife has it and his staff have it.

The worst part is everyone is getting better and he hasn't changed his stance on this. I can only hope it has scared away some of his church members.

The little joys in life. Our air quality just touched on GOOD.

We received a video of Frejya kissing the baby in the mirror and smiling ;D :)

We have to find 'em where we can, don't we, DR Jane?
Ours tonight was a spectacularly clear view of the International Space Station. We watched it out our breakfast room window approach from the southwest, then we went out into the front yard and watched it disappear into the northeastern sky.
-
Has anybody seen On the Basis of Sex, the tale of RBG’s early years?

I survived the surgery. Thanks for all the.comments of support. I will remain in the hospital for a few days. I cannot tell you what a balm it is to read your posts and see your faces. What a blessing!
Great news!
-
And, I'll have you know, tonight I will be enjoying TWO different flavors of jello for dinner: berry and citrus lime!
You just had to brag, didn't you? I hope there are no lima beans lurking anywhere near either flavor.
Let's hope not!! :o

It is still ugly outside and the air quality is still unhealthy, but the numbers continue to drop along with the rain.
It's really raining here in Tumwater! :D

Awful news: Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died.
:'(
-
Friday afternoon greetings! Sorry I didn’t check in here yesterday. It was a somewhat busy day that started with some sad news from our sister-in-law - her younger sister passed away earlier in the week.
Oh, my goodness! What's going on?? My friend Judy who works at the local Eagan's posted on FB that her brother died this past weekend. Then, she sent me a message that her adult daughter died yesterday! :o
WTH?? :'(
Oh, dear, condolences to Judy :'(
Thanks, Ginny.
-
Well, let's see how fast the disgusting Mitch McConnell tries to take advantage of Ms. Ginsburg's death.
I'm sure that no one will be surprised how quickly it happens. ::)
-
:P
-
Condolences to Ginny and her family.

Since he’s already started, it’s disgusting on steroids.
-
It took an hour for McConnell to do it. An HOUR. After stalling for a year in 2016, an HOUR.
-
Condolences to all who need them, and I wish so many didn't need them.
-
Going for a drive now.
-
DR George, somehow I missed the news about Neve.
Lordy, how much can one person bear?
~~~HUGS APLENTY~~~

PAGE 6 GRECIAN URNS!

I have resigned myself to the idea that there will be no sleep tonight.
-
I could go for a big juicy hamburger right about now.

But I've been told I won't be offered any solid food until I can, pardon the expression, pass gas. So there's that.
-
The strange part, and I am sure DR elmore3003 can confirm this, is that whenever you have surgery in your abdominal cavity, there is air left inside that causes uncomfortable bloating, and then it migrates up into your shoulder area. Very strange, indeed.
-
But enough of this stuff and nonsense. On to something fun. Or somesuch.
-
And just now, I can't think of anything fun in particular.
-
Back from a little drive.
-
Good luck and hearty gas, Singdaw.
-
Good night, all.

The little joys in life. Our air quality just touched on GOOD.
We have to find 'em where we can, don't we, DR Jane?
Ours tonight was a spectacularly clear view of the International Space Station. We watched it out our breakfast room window approach from the southwest, then we went out into the front yard and watched it disappear into the northeastern sky.
WOW!
-
We received a video of Frejya kissing the baby in the mirror and smiling ;D :)
And we received a photo of Charlotte all wrapped up in the blanket that I knit for her, gazing into the eyes of her other grandma.
Awww 💜

A very sad beginning to the New Year.

I don't think it would agree with you. That's great though that you are hungry.

Hmm, the only time I remember pain in my shoulder was when I had surgery on my shoulder.
I have had two abdominal surgeries through my belly button.
-
Good luck and hearty gas, Singdaw.
;D
-
DR Singdaw are you on iv pain meds? I find it pleasantly surprising you are calling your pain uncomfortable vs painful.

WOW!
It's a pretty cool sight! I've seen the ISS while looking up at the stars and then I just happened to see it! That's happened four times over the last several years! :D

I got very little sleep last night and am hoping to crash soon.

Good night, Jane...and sleep well!

No, David, the real blessing is having you back with us.

Condolences to DR Ginny on the loss of your family member.
-
Hi, Tom.
-
Condolences to George’s friend, Judy.
-
Hi, George.
-
So, good old Mitch wants a replacement before the election. The man should be burned at the stake!

Agreed! >:(

How are you doing, George? Hanging in there?
-
How are you doing, George? Hanging in there?
I am, thanks. I got together with my family yesterday and we had a good time. Tomorrow, we're all getting together again with some other friends of my mom and will hang out and eat and chat. It'll be another good day.
-
Good night, George. Take care.
-
Good night, Tom. You, too.
-
Today, I did absolutely nothing except hang out here and on Facebook. I finally posted there about my dad and my cat.
-
And then - earthquake - not much but I got off my chair and screamed at the top of my lungs, "STOP IT ALREADY! ENOUGH!" I like to think it worked.
