I must now be off to bed. I have to go to work in the morning (of course) and I've got a three-hour meeting that I must attend. I'm on the committee to celebrate the library system's 40th year! They asked if I would be on the committee because I started working at Timberland in 1984, and no one (see, I spelled it correctly ;)) else on the committee has been working there for that long.

Good night, BK.

One of my all-time favorite dialogue exchanges - James Mason and Cary Grant in North By Northwest - written by Ernest Lehman. It doesn't get much better than this:
"Has anyone ever told you that you overplay your various roles rather severely, Mr. Kaplan? First you're the outraged Madison Avenue man who claims he's been mistaken for someone else. Then you play a fugitive from justice, supposedly trying to clear his name of a crime he knows he didn't commit. And now, you play the peevish lover, stung by jealously and betrayal. Seems to me you fellows could stand a little less training from the F.B.I. and a little more from the Actors' Studio."
"Apparently the only performance that's going to satisfy you is when I play dead."
"Your very next role. You'll be most convincing, I assure you."

Thanks to all for the anniversary wishes for my parents. There will be photos - sooner or later. The party was a great success, and NOW IT IS OVER and it is on to my nephew's wedding on October 4 except that -
The wedding has been postponed. No details will be forthcoming, but I think it is a good decision at this time.

There was a power failure - I noticed when I came home from the party. There were lots of leaves and branches down along the way.
We were in a room with small high windows from 12:30 p.m. until almost 6 p.m. - some arriving guests mentioned the weather....
We do still have power, but I think the major part of the storm was slightly south of us.....scary.

Good morning, all! I have an event-crammed day as well as some aggravating things to attend to. The worst part of the day is that i have to report my bloodsugar levels every two hours for a week to my nutritionist and she will not be happy that today is a mess. I have to be at TOYLAND around 10 am, and I have ameeting about the restoration of Life Begins At 8:40, which also necessitates an aggravating phone call to clarify an aggravating one I received last night about its recording, I have to me to the ophthalmologist by 2:15 and I have no idea how long this appointment will take since he's ridiculously overbooked. I will stay to the bitter end, sicne I need this eye exam badly. After that, if I am not too late with the ophthalmologust, I have a date to see Laurel Masse at Birdland at 7:00. Somewhere during all of this, I'm expected to check my blood sugar levels and lunch and snack. It's ridiculous.
Yesterday afternoon, I watched the DVD of a Belgian film, DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS, which I liked. There aren't enough lesbian vampire films around with Delphine Seyrig dressed like a drag queen. Then I began the PBS/BBC miniseries LILLIE about the life of actress Lillie Langtry. By 10 pm I was unconcscious.

Hi!
I have power now!
Our power went out a little after 8pm last night and did not return until 4:45am.
Oh, my, but those winds were wicked!
Rather than cursing the darkness (and dwindling the flashlights' batteries) I lit a candle. Then another candle. And another. And one more. And so on and so on. Enough candles that I was reading James Rollins' THE JUDAS STRAIN by candlelight at the kitchen table until about 3:30am, at which point I decided to try to get a bit of sleep.
Fortunately, I had made arrangements during the blackout to have someone cover my shift at Borders today.
There are still thousands of homes without power in the area, hopefully everyone will be restored by the time this day is over.

And, I, too, have a bit of a crazy day. Well, the craziness will all depend on who and how many people show up this morning at the auditions. And then I got called in to play for a work session later this afternoon for a certain "star", so that could be interesting. ;)

Last night DR Jane and DR jose asked some questions.
My niece was pretty good the entire party(ies). Although at 9pm when we took her out of her party dress she started crying and shaking and screaming on her bed, "my-yyyy party-yyyy dress-ssss!". It was so funny my sister and i started laughing.
As for Chuck E Cheese that does not exist in canada. Or at least not here.
And actually you don't need to be a costco member to get into their food court. And you can actually get into costco with another member.
There won't be any friends or party guests. Just my sister and her husband, my parents, me and my aunt and uncle probably.
Nobody but me and my niece think costco would be fun. Personally i think that whoever's party it is should get to choose. I mean why ask her if they want to know the answer! It's not like she knows very many restaurants.
Although i did tell her what my favorite restaurant is. And she answered that as one of her choices. So i gave her a high five. :)

BK, life is too short for some things. Watching HELLFIGHTERS a second time, after you saw it once before and didn't like it, is one of those things.

I have a question for those who watch shows like SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE.
But you don't have to watch the show to be able to weigh in.
Last night was another night of auditions on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA.
But something happened and i can't decide if it's fair.
Those who watch figure skating might be familiar with former Canadian champion Emanuel Sandu ( i won't say he was as famous as elvis stojko but he is fairly famous here and was in the Olympics and won quite a few Canadian championships).
Well he entered SYTYCD canada. He was trained as a dancer and is very good.
And i realize you can't tell people that they cannot audition.
And it was quite something to see triple axels on the stage.
But since this is a comp where the public votes i just wonder how fair it is to have someone who is already famous. It would be like having one of the US olympians on SYTYCD US.

I, personally, do not care who participates in any reality show. If the producers want to feature those contestants...and allow them to enter...who are "we" to say whether it's fair or not??? Who makes the rules? Them...or you?
You can weigh in by not voting for Mr. Sandu.

Mrs. Danvers: "You tried to take her place. You let him marry you. I've seen his face - his eyes. They're the same as those first weeks after she died. I used to listen to him, walking up and down, up and down, all night long, night after night, thinking of her, suffering torture because he lost her!"
The Second Mrs. de Winter: [turning away in shame and shock] "I don't want to know, I don't want to know!"
Mrs. Danvers: [moving towards her] "You thought you could be Mrs. de Winter, live in her house, walk in her steps, take the things that were hers! But she's too strong for you. You can't fight her - no one ever got the better of her. Never, never. She was beaten in the end, but it wasn't a man, it wasn't a woman. It was the sea!"
The Second Mrs. de Winter: [collapsing in tears on the bed] "Oh, stop it! Stop it! Oh, stop it!"
Mrs. Danvers: [opening the shutters] "You're overwrought, madam. I've opened a window for you. A little air will do you good."
[as the second Mrs. de Winter gets up and walks toward the window]
Mrs. Danvers: "Why don't you go? Why don't you leave Manderley? He doesn't need you... he's got his memories. He doesn't love you, he wants to be alone again with her. You've nothing to stay for. You've nothing to live for really, have you?"
[softly, almost hypnotically]
Mrs. Danvers: "Look down there. It's easy, isn't it? Why don't you? Why don't you? Go on. Go on. Don't be afraid... "

Today is DR Laura's son's, Jeremy, Birthday. It is also my grandfather's birthday (well, the one they designated for him at Ellis Island since the birth certificate had been destroyed in a fire in Minsk.) So they picked a day around the high holidays. They also misspelled his last name. Half the family spelled it one way; the other half spelled their last name another. Interestingly, when my other grandfather's parents came over here from Ireland, the guards at Ellis Island added an extra "E" to the last name -- but only on about half of the family. Trying to trace family history is so much more interesting when you run into glitches like that (not to mention things like a first husband or wife of someone from 150 years ago that no one would talk about). I finally gave up, because there was no way to keep up with all the inconsistencies and inaccuracies.

Der Brucer wants me to make crab cakes.
It's not like we don't have the crab. I picked up about four pounds of crab meat from work, when there was an absurd over-order a while back, and stashed the tubs in the freezer. I've got one of the one-pound tubs thawing right now.
My probelm is, I haven't had crab cakes that often, and thus don't really have a taste-memory standard by which I can measure what I'm doing.
And none of the recipes I've looked over say anything about what the crab cakes should be served with. That's a disappointment right there.
I suppose I should try to keep things as simple as I can, this first attempt.
Do crab cakes go well with grits?

One of which was my nice signed copy of But He Doesn't Know The Territory. The seller's description made it sound pretty used, but the price was definitely right so I snapped it up - it's in great condition, save for some staining on the back panel of the dust jacket. No price clip, only two tiny closed tears (not visible unless you really look) and that's it - absolutely a near fine to fine copy and the book itself is fine. A major coup. There is NO like copy available on the Internet - there is a good plus copy for close to 500 bucks though.

Hi!
I have power now!
Our power went out a little after 8pm last night and did not return until 4:45am.
Oh, my, but those winds were wicked!
There are still thousands of homes without power in the area, hopefully everyone will be restored by the time this day is over.
I'm pleased Craig did not lose power, it briefly flickered but that was all. I figure they have been deprived enough the last month without hot water or a stove.
If they had lost power they wouldn't have lost much food since the frig barely works, not much is kept in there.

It looks like I have a couple of pages of posts to catch up, so... without further ado...
-
House update - the inspection went well. The inspector was actually impressed with the electrical and the plumbing. Tomorrow is termites and the appraisal. Also sometime this week is the chimney inspection as inspector found a few issues with the chimney. Other than that, it's in good shape. During the inspector's inspection, we got to walk around and do some more inspecting of our own. Having only been in the house once, it was like going through it again. It needs a lot of TLC. Mostly cosmetic, of course. None of which is out of our reach and can be done over time. Kinda depressing and kinda not, hard to say.
More later. I'm off now for an evening in the woods.

I decided that getting sick in DC was in part because I was exhausted. So, I decided it's time for a little time off. I cleared my schedule for Friday and plan to do the same for Monday and will enjoy a 4 day weekend. I'm going to drive to the lake Friday and spend the day with my parents. They added on a screened in porch and I"m really dying to sit on it

Good idea DR Cilla.
DR Matthew, be sure to get estimates on work that needs doing.

Nope. We just looked at his razorback sucker.

I have a question which hopefully some of the men on here can answer.
If you shave is it absolutely necessary to put on aftershave?
Is there some equivalent that doesn't smell like cologne that would not make my eyes burn.

My sister has convinced my niece not to have her party at costco. Instead she will be having it at her favorite pasta restaurant.
Btw, speaking of costco ours just started serving ribs for $7.99. They look extremely delicious. I'm wondering if this is common food at most costcos.
Here we have hotdogs with drink for 1.99. And they serve pizza. Smoked meat sandwiches. But that is basically it. And fries and poutines.

You're shaving and splashing your eyes with aftershave?? ;)
I never use aftershave...ever. It's not necessary and most that I've seen are mostly alcohol, which (in my experience) burns my face more than the shaving.

The Costcos in the western Washington area that I've been to have hot dogs with a drink for US$1.50 (plus tax), pizza, chicken bake (chicken pieces and caesar dressing and some other stuff in a dough shell) and sliced turkey wraps. That's about it for the main dishes. No ribs, no meat sandwiches and no fries...that's all that I've ever seen.

DH Keith only uses it about once every four years. I think it isn't a necessary item. When he does use it, it is Old Spice which is one of the few products I'm not allergic to.

Aftershave is not all necessary. If one wants a "Bracer," straight rubbing alcohol or witch hazel work. Or nothing (unless one needs a little unscented moisturizer).

Some of their stuff (like the little quiches, party platters, and some of their cakes) are very good quality and definitely worth it. By now, you've undoubtedly had something from there at a party. I had a co-worker who liked to eat at Costco. It was cheap, but hardly worth it for the ambience and just the whole idea of trying to have a nice moment in the middle of a work day!
-
Met up with Nick and our pal Julie Kirgo. They bought some stuff at Amoeba and then we went next door to a jernt called Charcoal. Their burgers, salads, and appetizers are all half-price from three to six. So Nick and Julie split a burger and I had the wings. The wings, as mentioned above, were horrible, maybe the worst I've ever had, and I'm thoroughly nauseous now. I should have stopped after the first one but I was so damn hungry I ate about seven or eight of them before giving up. I've had such good luck, wing-wise, in the last few months, but this was the nadir of wings. I really am quite nauseous right now.

Thanks to all for the anniversary wishes for my parents. There will be photos - sooner or later. The party was a great success, and NOW IT IS OVER and it is on to my nephew's wedding on October 4 except that -
The wedding has been postponed. No details will be forthcoming, but I think it is a good decision at this time.
DR JRand - I'm happy to hear that the partay was a success. And sometimes a postponement is a good thing.
-
And that means that you will play "Taylor, the Latte Boy" how many times today? ;)
None. :)
*However, "Part of Your World", and "Lost in the Wilderness" did approach "greatest hits status" today.

It takes so little to make me happy: today, the cafeteria salad bar had real bacon bits. :)
Umm... Which movie is that from?

Der Brucer wants me to make crab cakes.
It's not like we don't have the crab. I picked up about four pounds of crab meat from work, when there was an absurd over-order a while back, and stashed the tubs in the freezer. I've got one of the one-pound tubs thawing right now.
My probelm is, I haven't had crab cakes that often, and thus don't really have a taste-memory standard by which I can measure what I'm doing.
And none of the recipes I've looked over say anything about what the crab cakes should be served with. That's a disappointment right there.
I suppose I should try to keep things as simple as I can, this first attempt.
Do crab cakes go well with grits?
Just treat the crab as a protein. It could go nicely with grits. Or just put one on a hamburger bun, kaiser roll, etc., and call it a sandwich. ;)

Aftershave isn't necessary. I just use cold water to "brace" my skin. However, some skin types do benefit from a bit of alcohol or witch hazel after the shave.

It's actually time for me to leave work and head home. I walked to work today (it takes less than 20 minutes), so now I have to walk back home. Fortunately, there's a Quizno's just down the street from here, so I'll have dinner on the way. ;) They have a new meatball sub sandwich that's only $5 for a large (foot-long)! And it's quite tasty. :D

Now, the question is...can I make walking to work a regular thing?? We'll see. :)

Until later!

Probably made up but....
Do you like to read a good murder mystery? Not even Law and Order would attempt to capture this mess. This is an unbelievable twist of fate!!
At the 1994 annual awards dinner given for Forensic Science, AAFS President Dr. Don Harper Mills astounded his audience with the legal complications of a bizarre death. Here is the story:
On March 23, 1994....... the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus, and concluded that he died from a shotgun wound to the head. Mr. Opus had jumped from the top of a ten-story building intending to commit suicide...
He left a note to the effect indicating his despondency. As he fell past the ninth floor, his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast passing through a window, which killed him instantly. Neither the shooter nor the deceased was aware that a safety net had been installed just below the eighth floor level to protect some building workers and that Ronald Opus would not have been able to complete his suicide the way he had planned.
"Ordinarily, " Dr Mills continued, "Someone who sets out to commit suicide and ultimately succeeds, even though the mechanism might not be what he intended, is still defined as committing suicide." That Mr. Opus was shot on the way to certain death, but probably would not have been successful because of the safety net, caused the medical examiner to feel that he had a homicide on his hands.
The room on the ninth floor, where the shotgun blast emanated, was occupied by an elderly man and his wife. T hey were arguing vigorously, and he was threatening her with a shotgun! The man was so upset that when he pulled the trigger, he completely missed his wife, and the pellets went through the window, striking Mr. Opus. When one intends to kill subject "A" but kills subject "B" in the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of subject B."
When confronted with the murder charge, the old man and his wife were both adamant, and both said that they thought the shotgun was not loaded. The old man said it was a long-standing habit to threaten his wife with the unloaded shotgun. He had no intention to murder her. Therefore the killing of Mr. Opus appeared to be an accident; that is, assuming the gun had been accidentally loaded.
The continuing investigation turned up a witness who saw the old couple's son loading the shotgun about six weeks prior to the fatal accident..
It transpired that the old lady had cut off her son's financial support and the son, knowing the propensity of his father to use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun with the expectation that his father would shoot his mother.
Since the loader of the gun was aware of this, he was guilty of the murder even though he didn't actually pull the trigger. The case now becomes one of murder on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus.
Now comes the exquisite twist... Further investigation revealed that the son was, in fact, Ronald Opus. He had become increasingly despondent over the failure of his attempt to engineer his mother's murder. This led him to jump off the ten-story building on March 23rd, only to be killed by a shotgun blast passing through the ninth story window.
The son, Ronald Opus, had actually murdered himself. So the medical examiner closed the case as a suicide.

Wow! Our power went out again at 3pm and just came back on just after midnight.
For those hours, we had half-power sometimes, no power sometimes, but mostly NO POWER AT ALL. Fortunately, we do have power now. I wish there were some way to harness our power and send whatever we could to those souls in Texas who will be powerless for up to a month.
It's an inconvenience only when it happens for a few hours, it's a tragedy when it happens for a lengthy period of time.
Miss Dixie Bell sensed the wrongness of a house without power and would not eat, not come into the house from her little home; but now that the power has returned, she is nestled in her Mum's room (her usual sleeping spot) and calmer than she was on our three walks in the past hour and a half. . .
Me, I sat by candlelight and am now three-quarters of the way through James Rollins' THE JUDAS STRAIN. Highly recommended.
