Well, you've read the notes, the notes dispensed with the frou-frou, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they've replaced the frou-frou with the moo-moo whilst dressed in a muu-muu.

As I was saying...

Good Evening!

Well...

It took me an hour and a half to get to the theatre earlier today. The matinee was at 2:00, and I left the house at 12:30, so... I literally walked through the stage door as they were calling "Places". -Whew! -I truly am sick of the DC traffic - give me a delayed A Train any day!

And because various streets in DC are currently barricaded and blocked as part of the security perimeter around where the IMF meetings are being held... And since there seemed to be a lot of various bar parties and functions tonight, it took me an hour to get home.

Thankfully, everything that came in between my commutes was wonderful: show, dinner, show, post-show drinks and desserts.

Greetings from Times Square!   I'm at one of the coveted little red tables in the closed-to-traffic section of Broadway, enjoying the free wi-fi.

I had a great day yesterday!  I was able to check in to my hotel early, which is always nice.

I went to see Avenue Q.  It's at a much smaller theatre now and I managed to get a 6th row seat at a 40% discount ($55).  I really enjoyed the show.  I had seen it years ago so I didn't really remember everything.   The guy who "played" Rod" and the other character-puppet (can't think of his name) was fantastic.

Then it was time for my dinner with DR elmore!  I had never been to Johns' Pizza before --I was amazed at the size of it.  The pizza and salad were great as was the company! 

I kind of wish I had not gotten a ticket for another show. It would have been more fun to enjoy DR elmore's company!

Last night I went to see a show called "Channelling Kevin Spacey."  The title is kind of misleading..  It should really be "Channelling Al Pacino."  It's about this working stiff who's in a bad relationship, hates his job, etc.    Then he starts to act like the characters in some Kevin Spacey and (mostly) Al Pacino.  There are two actors in the show.  The other actor plays numerous characters and he's really great.   It was never boring, but I'm not sure I would go out of my way to see
it.


Well, I'm going to make my way over to the Flea Market and look for DR Ben!

Till later-

Have a great day, everyone!

Tonight are the premieres of: TAR, The Good Wife and Desperate Housewives.

Can't wait!  I am excited about them in the order i wrote them.

On TAR looking forward to Ethan and Jenna from Survivor. Should be interesting to see winners compete (since i'm all about competitiveness). Although i saw a preview last night. And there is some kid who was the youngest ever to sail around the world (or something like that). He should be super athletic and competitive. He is doing it with his dad (who is hopefully equally fit and competitive).

Good morning, all! I had one weird dream about waiting for a plane and running into two friends waiting for the same flight. They were both flying standby and i spent a lto of time at reservations trying to get my seat changed to be seated next to one of them. My luggage may have been lost as well. I no longer remember.

I slept later than intended and I am sitting in this apartment thinking, what the hell? What disaster happened here? It's a cluttered mess. I think I will spend some of the day tidyng up because i cannot think in this chaos.

BK, since you often only eat one meal a day do you jog on an empty stomach?

I find that to swim or bike i cannot do it on an empty stomach or i don't have enough energy to do it.

Also, do you carry water with you. I see a lot of people jogging here everyday and almost none of them seem to have water bottles.  I can't bike without water. Although i can swim for an hour without drinking.

The Dream-O-Matic 6000 has given out with the following interpretations:

DR ELMORE - you would rather stay home than go anywhere today, although you realize that you have more of an opportunity to see friends if you go OUT.

MR BK - your dream of the doorbell ringing tells us that you will soon receive a surprising opportunity because of an effort that you have already put forth, and that you had given up on coming true

I'm sure glad you were home to rescue Little Ricky! Once I discovered that one of the kittens had a cord twisted around his neck. I'm so glad I was here to rescue him.

So am I.  I also had one of those cord scares.  When we moved here all the blind cords in our bedroom & bathroom looked like cat nooses to me.  I immediately looped them all up our of the way.

I also have scars from cat rescues.  They do tend to panic.  DR Cilla how is your arm today?

I exercise before eating and drinking much.  You are right it zaps some of my energy but if I eat & drink I get sick.  You are lucky you can eat first.  I wonder if you could jog after as it really bounces what is inside you ;)

Ricky was in full panic mode, I was afraid that he was going to fall off the chair and hang himself.  Anyway, I was there and the gash in my arm was worth it as he wasn't hurt.

The pillowcases on the backs as chair covers actually look nice and will stop him from putting his head in there again.  I'm going to go to Walmart or Shopko and see if I can find a color that will work better and not get dirty fast - I have off white on them right now.

He was very freaked out last night.  Boo was with him downstairs and I have a feeling she chewed him out for being so stupid as she was hissing at him and he stayed in the basement and he only goes down there at night when she chases him.  I sat with him down there and Boo was there too.  Then Callie came and sat in the door....it was really amazing, it was like she was the mother coming in to take over.    Later, when it was time for bed, I noticed Ricky was upstairs in the room Callie likes to be in, eating her food and she was sitting there purring.  Then I stopped in the room later and he was laying next to her.  I've only seen that once before in the last year.  She was purring and they were touching each other.

He came into my room later and cuddled more than he ever has.   He's ok now

Craig is in San Francisco via Chicago.  He had to get up so early this morning to make his flight from Hartford I wonder if he slept last night.  I hope so as the hotel at the wedding resort wasn't cheap.

AND, I did some more investigating about the rewards points and the kitchenaid mixer....it's the 5 quart and is something I would never buy for myself but have wanted for years, so...I spent my rewards points and ordered it.  It means I don't have the points for a trip, but I decided this is something I've always wanted and will be able to use it every day.  I can't wait for it to arrive.

Wishes you are very happy with it. 

Thanks Jane, I think I will be.  The decision was a trip I would enjoy for a few days or a mixer I could use for years...I'm turning into a home-body more all the time...the mixer won

I like that.  I have several traveling options for October & suspect I'll stay at home, mostly because getting on a plane is such a hassle for me.  In May & June I'll likely take two trips back East.  I will definitely go to Chicago in June as Bryan is graduating from medical school.

I have never liked it, not so much the flying part as the barfing part.  Now, thank goodness, I don't normally get so terribly ill but it is harder on the rest of my body.

Craig just called.  He got up later at 5:00 this morning which is an hour later than I guessed.  The smallish airport & the easy car drop off gave him extra time to sleep.  He is getting something to eat and will find a sports bar to watch a game or two while he waits.

If it clears up enough outside, we are going to pick up my new guy's brother at the Van Nuys airport.  Seems he needs to take his 2nd helicopter back.   Nice.

Ricky got his head caught between the metal slat thingys on the back of the bar stool in the kitchen.

Years ago we were pet sitting a German Shepard puppy when something similar happened.  At least the puppy stayed calm as I was sitting next to her in the chair she got her head stuck in.  Keith was home & helped me get her unstuck.

Vibes this doesn't happen again!!!!!

Ricky was in full panic mode, I was afraid that he was going to fall off the chair and hang himself.  Anyway, I was there and the gash in my arm was worth it as he wasn't hurt.

The pillowcases on the backs as chair covers actually look nice and will stop him from putting his head in there again.  I'm going to go to Walmart or Shopko and see if I can find a color that will work better and not get dirty fast - I have off white on them right now.

My sheets are off-white, also.  Well, at least they look that way today.

Jose, my sympathies on your DC commute. I learned the hard way to allow an extra twenty minutes any time I had to drive to DC. You just never know what the problem will be: Presidential motorcade, a parade, construction, or just heavy traffic. I sat on the Key Bridge for twenty minutes one day--traffic into DC was horrendous. In LA, at least, there is usually an alternate route. That if often not so in Washington.

Yes, but today it was the Seattle traffic that got messed up by the President, making half the crowd late for the start of the Seahawks game.


Hmmm, the way the Seahawks are playing, maybe that wasn't the reason that the crowd was late.

Gangster films are not really my thing - unless they star James Cagney - but it's a well made film and has many interesting location shots of London Docklands as it then was but within a few years was to be completed redeveloped.

AND, I did some more investigating about the rewards points and the kitchenaid mixer....it's the 5 quart and is something I would never buy for myself but have wanted for years, so...I spent my rewards points and ordered it.  It means I don't have the points for a trip, but I decided this is something I've always wanted and will be able to use it every day.  I can't wait for it to arrive.

Wishes you are very happy with it. 

Thanks Jane, I think I will be.  The decision was a trip I would enjoy for a few days or a mixer I could use for years...I'm turning into a home-body more all the time...the mixer won

My sister has a Kitchenaid mixter and she loves it...and uses it all the time.

I misread it as Kritzerland mixter. Maybe a business BK should consider going in to. :-)

Thanks DR TCB.....  My sister Paula and my niece Amanda are leaving for Europe on Wednesday, and her husband Larry said that had to get a new cat before they left.....he misses Smudge very much....and now.....he has Trinket to come home to for 10 days.

That's very nice.  How could she say no to him when she was leaving.  Keith did the opposite to me and I couldn't resist.  He missed our dog Belle something fierce and one day while walking out the door to go on a business trip he turned to me and basically pleaded he needed a dog.  Of course the fact that he was walking out the door at the time only stressed the fact that once we got a puppy my freedom would be gone because I would do what I always do, spend more time with my pets than apart from them.

Keith had the advantage on me to begin with, a fifteen year old boy at home who never had a puppy.  By the time Keith returned home I had a stack of books & a video on different breeds and had decided on a Bernese Mountain Dog.

Your companions: What's he typing? We can't go anywhere without him typing away at his computer/phone.
Doug: I must update all the DRs! They INSIST on knowing where I went and what I ate! They even want photos!
Your companions: DRs?? WHAT is he talking about?! Oy!!
A stranger: Excuse me, do you know Jose?

DR Jeanne. Thank you. I enjoyed that!

Back from the Michelle Nicastro event - some of which was very touching.  Guy Haines was a no-show so I had to sing When You Wish Upon A Star - it went very well - I get really nervous in public these days when singing (except at the Kritzerland shows, where I feel completely at ease and comfy whether speaking or singing), but I got through it with no mishaps and got a very nice hand.  When they announced Guy, I got up and went to the stage and said I'd just gotten a text from him and that he was down on Olympic doing the triathlon - which he thought meant three blocks.  He was lying on the sidewalk and unable to get to Hollywood.

Thanks Ginny!  I used my cheap Sunbeam mixer today.  I was amazed to see how much difference it made with the glass bowl I got at an auction instead of the metal one it came with, but the KitchenAid will be better.   I got my KitchenAid food processor with points from a different card.  I hate to admit I don't know how to use it.  I need to go online and find some instructions.

According to an AOL report, six Pan Am stewardess of years ago watched and loved the TV series based on their line of work.

Their one and only accuracy issue (a small issue) was the hair requirement that hair be above the jaw line.

I have a friend who was a  Stewardess around the same time, I think it was for Braniff.  She recently donated her uniform to the museum. I can't wait to see what she thinks of the show.  I've got it set to TIVO.

Well, I need to go (I'll leave the DVR recording "Rigoletto From not-quite Montana" ;)).  On Friday, I came home after work and turned on my kitchen lights.  There are two fixtures with four long fluorescent tube bulbs.  A couple of the bulbs had burned out and one was just barely hanging on, flickering all the time.  But the last was fine and enough light for my tiny kitchen.  Well, that finally went out.  It was a hassle getting it all taken apart (the fixtures are recessed into the lowered part of the kitchen ceiling).  I measured the bulbs (47 inches without the prongs) and wrote down the part number from the bulb and went to The Home Depot.  It turns out that The Home Depot does not have 47 inch bulbs.  The 46 inch bulbs that they have actually measured 45 inches without the prongs (I measured several lengths and they all measured the same way)!  What's that all about??  So, I need to get whole new light fixtures.  Fortunately, they're not that expensive.  I didn't get them on Friday, but my sister asked if I'd get her some canning jars today, so I'll go to The Home Depot before getting the jars for her.  I don't know if I'll be able to put them up today, because I still have some DVR recording to do and I don't want to accidentally turn off the wrong switch in the breaker box.

At least, the fixture will probably be an easy thing to swap out.

Thanks Jack and Jane...but I totally had a brain fart.  It turns out that when I wrote about the 46/45 inch measurements that I thought that I had measured at the store, I actually had measured the 36/35 inch bulbs at the store (off by 10 inches) and, of course, those measurements weren't what I needed.  I did need and they did have the correct 47/18 inch bulbs and I bought two 2-packs.  They fit and worked perfectly except when the darned fixtures pulled out of the ceiling because whoever put them up only used regular screws into the drywall and not any kind of hollow wall mounts.  So, one of the fixtures is held up with just one screw and the other is just hanging by the wires. :P

So, all I need now are some hollow wall mounts for the ceiling and all will be done!

Back from seeing a new musical entitled South Street, which, within its first twenty minutes, instantly entered my pantheon of the worst musicals I've ever seen.  It was beyond pathetic but what's more pathetic is that some "producer" raised enough money to put this piece of crap into the Pasadena Playhouse.  Of course, there was the requisite woo-hooing from friends and family for even the lamest numbers (well, they were all lame, with some of the worst lyric writing I've ever heard - all false rhymes - I don't know that were three real rhymes in the entire show).

That's too bad, BK.  Did you know anyone in the show or any of the writers?
