Well, you've read the notes, the notes lived long and prospered, and now it is time for you to post until the prosperous cows come home.

And the word of the day is: HEBEPHRENIA!
Smoke on your pipe and put that in.

Topic of the Day: about 40 hours...and it'll never happen again, if I have anything to say about it.

Belated birthday wishes to Doug
-
perhaps TFNM will arrive today. By pure chase I had the DVD release in my MAC last night.
-
Good morning to all

Belated birthday wishes to Doug
Thanks Michael S. I had a pleasant birthday.
Sadly the heatwave is over and the London weather is back to normal i.e. not good!
-
Good morning, all.
-
TOD: Feels like the last few nights. Spring is happening here again now that the weather is starting to cool down in the evenings (it's 55 out right now), and so the allergens are back in full force and my decongestant isn't cooperating fully.
-
Morning all.
Slept late.
That is all.
-
Good morning, all! Around 8:30 last night I passed out and slept rather soundly. I remember one bizarre dream involving Mary Rodgers, my efforts to find her to sign the Christmas card I had given her, and running into the Obamas who'd been involved with the same holiday concert with me and Mary Rodgers. The concwert must have been at Carnegie Hall because most of my dream took place around 57th Street.
I am off to breakfast and then back to the Library. This morning I'll finish up the Kern work on ROBERTA and mnake some investigations into the SWEET ADELINE materials. I am a bit angry at my friend Loras, who knew I was coming down - I checked dates with him before I booked this trip - and has mysteriously vanished to the Library's annex in Landover on "Gershwin concerns." Perhaps he will show up today. Perhaps not.

As to people getting on planes when sick (and I'm adding the theater as well, where they're also in close proximity to others)
I've tried to get an exchange of plane (and theater) tickets when sick. It is almost impossible to get airline or theaters to do that, and I understand why - because everyone who wanted an exchange for any personal reason would simply claim they're sick if it were allowed.
The one time it worked for me was for theater tickets - when I had a cough that was so real and so awful that the person on the phone could hear that I'd disturb the performance if they didn't allow an exchange

Thoughtful quote from Duff McKagan (of Guns n Roses) on CNN, that he came to realize about the negative things and setbacks in his life
"maybe it wasn't everybody else, maybe I had something to do with my own life"

Tuesday morning greetings! It's the first Tuesday of the month, so that means lunch with the grantwriters.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'll be meeting DR PennyO in an hour and fifteen minutes!
-
And since I still have to finish making myself presentable for DR PennyO...
Laters....
-
DR Jose - please give DR PennyO a hug from me!
-
Hozay!!! Where are we meeting??? Oh, boy, I can't wait!!
-
Ginny! A hug from me to you, sistah!
-
Hi, DR PennyO - wanna go to the grantwriters' lunch with me?
-
Okay - just saw this:
DR PennyO - The Atrium is on Broadway between 62nd & 63rd. It's one of my favorite public spaces of the Lincoln Center campus, as well as in NYC. It's in the space where the rock climbing wall used to be, if you remember that. Why don't we meet there around 10:30? -By the 9th Ave/Lincoln Center entrance. It will make sense once you get there. There's a 'witchcraft there, perfect for coffee and a light (or not so light) bite to eat.
so that'll be swell!!! I'll see you there in ONE HOUR!!!
-
Hi, DR PennyO - wanna go to the grantwriters' lunch with me?
When, where??? What time??? Are you in Noo Yawk???
-
I should stop lollygagging, and get ready to meet my dearest JosePiano!!!
-
Laters, skaters!!
-
My parents saw the PHANTOM movie last night and absolutely loved it. My dad is a huge POTO fan. I may go see it in a couple of weeks when it is back. POTO isn't one of my favs. But i do love theatre.
-
have fun DR PENNY O and DR JOSE.....I can't imagine how you couldn't!!!
And vibes for the getting the part. Burn a nice yellow candle.
-
Loved the web series preview.
Watched TFNM last night - and most of the extras.....what a terrific package!!!
I think Donna Loren will be at the Hollywood Show this weekend - along with Frankie Avalon!
-
Unfortunately John Ashley and Deborah Walley are busy being dead......so young.
-
TOD:
Hmmmmmmm......I have nothing to add to the discussion.
DR ELMORE we were laughing WITH you.
-
Hi, DR PennyO - wanna go to the grantwriters' lunch with me?
When, where??? What time??? Are you in Noo Yawk???
No, I'm in Ohio and the lunch is in Dayton - I was being facetious!
-
It's morning. Tuesday morning. yay
-
And we have a page 2 Tuesday morning dance
-
Good Morning, once again!
Greetings from the crosstown bus!
Things are moving a bit slow. Hopefully, I'll still be on time to meet DR PennyO. Although, if I'm a few minutes late, I'm sure she'll have fun checking out the vertical gardens in The Atrium.
-
Oh.. And I believe I passed another kidney stone earlier this morning... Ouch! Thus my own case of moving slower than expected this morning.
-
Oh! That's right! some subway station now have cellphone service on the platforms!
-
I am in London's West End to meet an old friend for drinks and a meal. I love being in the center of London because it's such a lively place - not as lively as New York though, which I love as well.

TOD:
Probably during my freshman year in college during my fraternity's Hell Week.
They kept us up all night for days.

Have fun DR DOUGR.

DR JOSE and DR PENNY O should be having a great time right now.....
-
Thanks DR John G.

It sounds like your allergies are worse than mine are. I don't like the change in the weather but at least are fire danger has dropped down to mild.
FEEL BETTER SOON!

Still No Nudie Blu and Ray
-
Someone at the post office must be watching it.
-
The USPS moves in strange ways, but it's really only been a few days, so be patient. I cut and pasted all addresses sent to me at Kickstarter and I'm pretty sure I didn't miss anyone.
-
I had ten and a half hours of gloriously glorious sleep. I will try the jog today - we'll see what happens.
-
Still No Nudie Blu and Ray
Anything that I've ordered from Kritzerland seems to take a day or two longer than others here. I'm used to it...just as long as I eventually get what I ordered. And I've never NOT gotten anything that I've ordered from Kritzerland. :D
-
If I buy an IPOD - how do I put music on it.....do I upload it from my computer?
-
Yes, DR JRand, you'll have to install iTunes on your computer, connect your iPod via USB, and then move tracks or albums to the device.
-
ITUNES....is that an Apple application?
-
What about music I already have on my computer?
-
Good Afternoon!
And it is a Good Afternoon!
-
Yes IT is.
-
ITUNES....is that an Apple application?
Yes.
If you go to Apple.com, just click on the iTunes to read all about it.
-
What about music I already have on my computer?
You can have iTunes import your existing music into your (new) iTunes Music Library.
-
Around 24 hours -- I was in college at the time. It didn't seem to hurt as much as it would hurt now.
-
DR JOSE and DR PENNY O should be having a great time right now.....
We did! We did!
Penny and I met up at The Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center, got some coffee (and I also got some yogurt topped with honey and granola), and then we sat down at a table and talked. And talked. A caught up. And gabbed and gabbed. And hugged too.
It really was a wonderful time.
:)
-
And here's some photographic proof of our meet-up via my iPhone. I'm a little fuzzy, but DR PennyO is in focus. :)

What a great photo of DRs Jose and PennyO!

Well, this is an interesting concept: New Service for Authors Seeking to Self-Publish E-Books (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/03/business/media/perseus-creates-new-service-for-authors-seeking-to-self-publish.html?_r=1).
-
Great photo.
Thanks DR GINNY & DR JOSE for the ITUNES INFO.
-
Had a surprise lovely visit from our very own Mr. Nick Redman. Still not sure about jogging today. I don't want to do any damage to my legs before they're ready for me to do a four-mile jog.
-
Penny & Jose, I love the photo!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
We dropped Sherlock off at the vet this morning for root canal & to have a growth removed. Poor baby will be there until around 4:00.
-
Another haboob. And I was driving in this one when I was coming up from Tucson about an hour ago.
-
Poor Sherlock.
-
Yikes! I see on the online newspaper that there is a fatal accident at Picacho Peak. I came by there a not long ago.
-
Poor Sherlock!!
And now I am getting ready to go help my cousin teach some country line dancing.....which really isn't dancing....it is the anti-dance!
-
Penny & Jose, I love the photo!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too!
-
Vibes for Sherlock~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Does anybody have any new favorite tv shows?
I read that NBC cancelled Playboy Club already.
I haven't watched that many of the new shows. I have recorded the first 2 Unforgetables but have not watched them yet.
I really like A Gifted Man. And I really like Hart of Dixie. Not sure about Secret Circle. I sort of like The X Factor.
I stopped watching Person of Interest. Just not really for me.
Also these are not new shows, but i am totally loving The Good Wife, and especially The Mentalist!
-
Another rainy dreary day here. Hopefully tomorrow will be sunny. I hate rain and dreary days.
-
They tell us we might get rain over the next couple of days. I don't believe it any more.
-
Vibes for Sherlock~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~DITTO!!~~~
-
Penny & Jose, I love the photo!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, what a great photo!! It was so wonderful to see Jose after his 12 weeks in Oklahoma!! Two hours passed in - like - five minutes!! He looks exactly the same as the last time I saw his fine self, nearly 4 and a half years ago!! I'm looking forward to MORE when he's in LA on Bruce's show at LACC...
-
Poor old Sherlock... give that boy a squeeze from his auntie Penny... <smooch>
-
Hi, Elmo!!! love you lots!
-
Another haboob. And I was driving in this one when I was coming up from Tucson about an hour ago.
I'm glad you are safely home!
-
Another day with no sign of Mr Loras Schissel, who - I hear - was seen back in the stacks. I don't have a clue to what he's angry at me about, but I sure know why i'm really angry with him.
I photocopied myself into a stupor today: all of THE RED MILL, cut portions of SWEET ADELINE, and more of ROBERTA, including pages from the copyright libretto that have additional vwerses to some of the lesser numbers like "Hot sdpot" and "Clementina." The original scene for "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" is quite wonderful, with the first refrain broken into three sections separated by underscoring and dialogue, I also began reading the original novel. It's hard to believe this writer was a success; she's lousy. The plots are okay but her dialogue and descriptions really stink.
My postman just called me. I have no idea why. He knows I'm away until Thursday. Oy!
He just called back to tell me that he was off yesterday and my mail wasn't held at the post office. WTF?
-
Poor old Sherlock... give that boy a squeeze from his auntie Penny... <smooch>
A gentle one as he will be sore for the next few days. We will be giving him pain meds to help.
Thanks for the Vibes Jennifer & the sympathy Laura & Jrand.
-
I can't wait to hear the original scena for Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. What a great score that is - love to hear it reconstructed as originally conceived...
-
A root canal for a pupster... jeez... poor, poor pupster-boy...
-
Doug! are you the Doug who was the birthday boy yesterday??? Happiest belated returns...

Not really. LOL-The Playboy title alone put me off. I have no idea what it was about.
We liked the last episode of PERSON OF INTEREST, still have UNFORGETTABLE & A GIFTED MAN recording. We are also watching the fOX sci-fi show TERRA NOVA. After the 2nd episode of NEW GIRL we dropped it.
THE MENTALIST has been very good so far. We still enjoy CASTLE. While we liked the court case on THE GOOD WIFE we were just ok with the rest of the first episode but that is because we expect so much from the show.
-
A root canal for a pupster... jeez... poor, poor pupster-boy...
And in a couple of weeks he gets a cap put on it. ::) Either today or when the cap is done his teeth will be cleaned.
We really did look at other options but this was the best one for him.
-
Before we left this morning I changed our sheets and threw all the top sheets, 3 layers worth, in the washing machine so Sherlock would have clean sheets on the bed. Craig dried them for me & had them sitting nicely folded on the dryer when we returned home. Just as I was about to begin a load of towels Craig said he had attempted to put the sheets back in the dryer for about 5 minutes but it broke just as he did so. Thank goodness I had not started the load of towels.
I'm now waiting for the repairman to call me back. It is probably the motor. Since the washer & dryer are 9 years old I hate to put too much into repairs. On the other hand I really don't want new machines so we likely repair it, depends on what we are told.
-
Doug! are you the Doug who was the birthday boy yesterday??? Happiest belated returns...
That's me PennyO. Many thanks.
-
Just back from another night of drinking and eating (I wonder whether I should cut back!). Several pints of beer (do you have pints in the U.S?) and a meal of roast beef.
-
WONDERFUL NEWS!!!!!!
The vet just called and she did not do a root canal. The pulp of the tooth just missed being exposed. She was able to repair the tooth & do something which should help push the pulp back so new dentin can form. She will re-check him in 6 months to see if it held, if so he shouldn't need a root canal.
Second good news. She called to say she doesn't think the growth needs removing as, in her opinion, it is shrinking. No growth removal today & it too will be re-checked in 6 months.
Sherlock may be picked up at 4:30 with his clean teeth, filling & repair. This also means no pain meds & he doesn't have to go on a soft food diet.
We are very relieved and happy. :D

Seeking advice from international travelers!
Richard and I just visited our local Verizon store and were not thrilled with what they told us about cell phone usage in Europe. We then spent some time investigating international calling cards at Kroger.
Any and all advice regarding what to do about phones in Europe would be appreciated!
-
Good news, DR Jane - I'll bet Sherlock is thrilled over his reprieve!
-

What about Yorkshire pudding?
We have pints but since I hate the taste of beer I don't drink them, though I'm sure a pint would put me under the table.
-
That's good news, Jane. Lucky Sherlock!
-
Good news, DR Jane - I'll bet Sherlock is thrilled over his reprieve!
He is still out but I'm sure come dinner time he will be thrilled.
-
It is still haboobing here.
-
That's good news, Jane. Lucky Sherlock!
You bet!!!!

Ginny, do you have/go to Costco? I remember that they (used to?) have international pre-paid phone cards for calling back to the US. You could check them out...and if they do, I'm sure that they would cost much less than Kroger.

Very, Very, Very (that's three Verys!) good news for DD Sherlock!!
-
Thanks DR George. What we just saved not having to do the root canal should cover the repair fees, at least I hope so.

DR George - we don't belong to Costco, but we are on my niece's Sam's Club account.
-
Pleased to hear the good news Jane.
-
Good Evening!
And... I've napped.
-
DR Jane - Good news about DD Sherlock! -And I hope you get some not-so-bad news about your dryer.
-
Thank you DR's Doug & Jose. Now to get our sweet boy home and give him a big hug. :)
-
Super good news for DD Sherlock and DR Jane and DH Keith!

Wonderful photo of two sweet DRs, Jose and PennyO!

TOD:
When I flew to Japan, which was an 18 hour flight, we arrived in the am and I did not go to sleep until that night...so I think I was up about 36 hours, or so, I guess. Not sure, but it seemed like a long time not to sleep....but I was excited...and younger.
-
BK, really enjoyed the trailer! Looking forward to the series starting!
-
And now I need to head back down to Lincoln Center for tonight's concert by the New York Philharmonic. On the program tonight is John Corigiliano's new piece about 9/11 for Mezzo-Soprano and Orchestra - it premiered last week. I have a feeling I could get a bit emotional so I'm bringing Kleenex.
Laters...
-
Oh...
As for the Topic of the Day...
I usually do a 48-hour stretch every couple of weeks. It just happens.
Otherwise, I'm pretty sure I stayed up just shy of three full days once. UGH!
-
I've been watching TV pictures of the helicopter crash in East River, New York. Very sad that there has been loss of life. Helicopters never feel safe to me. I took a helicopter ride over NY once. It was an interesting experience but I was glad to get back on land.

My friend in Israel buys a phone for use here. On our Baltic cruise my international phone was a pain, plus I kept receiving voice messages telling me I had a message, which I didn't. I was advised to keep my phone off so I wouldn't get unwanted calls & it would be less expensive than answering calls I didn't need. My suggestion, try texting instead.
Oh, I had accidentally taken my satellite alarm clock instead of a manual one. My satellite clock is only for the states so I attempted to use the alarm on my phone, only it woke me up with the stupid messages telling me I had voice mail, which I didn't have. There weren't any clocks in the cabin on the ship.
-
Super good news for DD Sherlock and DR Jane and DH Keith!
And DS Craig.

I've only been on one helicopter ride & got rather sick. It was worth it though as we were flying over Denali Park in Alaska. Because the pilot didn't want me to throw up (good excuse) he landed on an isolated (meaning no tourist) glacier that was not part of the tour.
-
TOD - I was awake for about 24 hours when DS Rob was born and it was well worth it! Depending on how well I sleep on the plane to Paris next Monday night I may come close to or exceed that...c'est la vie!

Only 24 hours. Sunday night I slept 2 hours. Monday night 20 minutes. Bryan was born on Thursday at 7:40 PM.

Wonderful Sherlock news!!!
-
Have done much e-mailing, I think I booked our MD for the next Gardenia show, I'm having a snippy correspondence with SAG over all the paperwork they require to do these FREE web episodes - it's thoroughly nauseating - finally got out and grabbed a sandwich and onion rings, but prior to that had weighed myself and lost two pounds from yesterday, so whatever annoying thing was going on yesterday went away today, and am now back, waiting for rehearsal to begin. I'm also announcing our new title in the morning - I wasn't going to until next Monday, but given the number of releases next week, I'm just doing it now.

;D
-
DR Ginny i'm not sure if they have the pre-paid phone cards at Costco. But you don't need to be a member to go in. You just have to go with someone who is a member. You must know someone who is a member.
I love Costco. They started to get all their Xmas toys (not sure why they don't have toys year round). It's one of my favorite stores!
-
Great news re: Sherlock.
-
Gonna go watch GLEE.
Btw, does anybody here watch a show called SUITS. I think it may have aired earlier this year on the USA network. They have been airing it here (i think we may have had 4 episodes). I love this show. It reminds me a lot of WHITE COLLAR.
-
Dr Jennifer, re: new shows....I was watching PAN AM and TWO BROKE GIRLS....decided not to stick with them because along with the regular shows I already watch, plus checking Facebook and HHW in the evenings, I never get ANYTHING done!
I wish some of the shows that I love and watch would get cancelled. LOL! And I have tried staying away from both Facebook and HHW, at different times recently, but always came back. I am an addict, I guess.
-
I figure if any of the new shows turn out to be really good, I can always catch up with them when they come out on DVD or show up on Netflix streaming.

Well, I'm going to head home. I've been having a bit of intestinal distress and I don't want to have to worry about it...if you know what I'm sayin'. ::)
Be back later.

Just back from another night of drinking and eating (I wonder whether I should cut back!). Several pints of beer (do you have pints in the U.S?) and a meal of roast beef.
What about Yorkshire pudding?
We have pints but since I hate the taste of beer I don't drink them, though I'm sure a pint would put me under the table.
We have pints and you shouldn't cut back on them. IMHO.

I am prone to those. Man, are they a pain. Vibes you are done with it.

Wonderful picture, Jose!
Yes, it is.

Amanda Knox's plane has landed in Seattle.
-
Thank you DR's FJL, Druxy, Jennifer, & John G.
It is good to have our baby back. He had half is dinner, along with a pain med, & is resting while he waits for the other half.
His tooth looks beautiful. In six months the vet will x-ray it to see how it is doing & if the repair was a success.
-
T.O.D.
Sometimes I have been known to stay awake for up to two hours at a time. Actually, I was awake for three hours one time, but that doesn't count because I was at work when it happened.
-
Tuesday morning greetings! It's the first Tuesday of the month, so that means lunch with the grantwriters.
I read that as "grantwitters."

I am in London's West End to meet an old friend for drinks and a meal. I love being in the center of London because it's such a lively place - not as lively as New York though, which I love as well.
Doug R have you ever visited Seattle?
-
Jane-
Such Great News About Sherlock.
I Bet He's Now A Real Happy Camper
-
DR ArnoldMBrockman, thank you. He was excited when he first came home & seems tired now. I think he will be happy when we can all snuggle on the bed.

I am in excessive pain tonday. I left work two hours early. I am hoping that it just because of the change in the barometric pressure. But whatever the reason I am going to take my nightime pain pills and go to bed,

G'night!

Hope so!

'night

It was 85 degrees today. It's been in the 80s all week. It's so dry that there are burn bans and fields catching fire from sparks from the combines. We really need rain.

I decided it was too nice to sit in a meeting, so I skipped my historic pres commission meeting and came home to work on the gazebo. the outside is painted the inside is 1/2 painted. All I need to do is paint the bench and the floor. I changed it from white to brown. It's not the brown I thought I was buying back in May, but I can work with it. I'm pretty close to out of paint, so I may get a different paint for the rest. Probably porch and floor paint, it lasts longer.
-
I've decided to take the screens and the door off the gazebo. They had somehow turned into a place for spiders to catch bugs. It wasnt' keeping the bugs out and well....it wasn't that inviting. With it all open, I think i may actually use it. I'll need to spray for bugs, and I did get eaten up the first day I was painting, but I still like it better. I'll keep the door and screens so i can change my mind, but for now, I'm going to leave it wide open.
-
Wow! It's going to be 88 degrees tomorrow. That's July temps for us. Strange weather.

Thanks, DR Jane. I'll have Richard look at it tomorrow. We're leaning toward just leaving our hotel and boat phone numbers with people here and getting a calling card when we get there.

But now it's time to sleep - 'night!

Good Evening!
Tonight's concert by the New York Philharmonic was quite wonderful. They started off with Barber's "Essay for Orchestra" and closed with Dvorak's 7th Symphony. Both pieces were well played and beautiful interpreted. In between those two pieces was the World Premiere (is it still a "World Premiere" even if it the third performance? In any case...) of John Corigliano's "One Sweet Morning" for Mezzo-Soprano and Orchestra. Stephanie Blythe was the soloist and she really communicated the various texts about war and death with great clarity and emotion, and the orchestra handled Corigliano's very vivid and difficult writing with ease. -And John Corigliano was on hand tonight to take a bow with Miss Blythe, Maestro Gilbert and the Philharmonic.

And it's quite a beautiful Fall night in NYC too!

Seeking advice from international travelers!
Richard and I just visited our local Verizon store and were not thrilled with what they told us about cell phone usage in Europe. We then spent some time investigating international calling cards at Kroger.
Any and all advice regarding what to do about phones in Europe would be appreciated!
There are companies that will sell you a chip/card to insert in your current phone so that you can use it their country with a local carrier. They usually have kiosks set up at the airports. You can buy a certain amount of days of service.
Now if you're wanting to use your phone so that people in the States can reach you, well... If you know the number of your hotel now, that's probably the best course of action.
If you have a phone with internet/data capability be sure to turn off the "Data Roaming" as soon as you get on the plane to France, if not before. There are many tales of people getting stuck with outrageous phone bills due to their phones working in the background thus running up their data usage.
As for phone cards, it's usually best to buy one once you get to where you are going.

-Did that even make sense? -Sorry, I'm already tired, starting to fade.

WELCOME HOME AMANDA KNOX!!
I should add and Congrats to Ted Simon...my friend and one of Amanda's lawyers
-
Ahhhh. I stepped out of the meeting building, and there was no traffic. It was SILENT. And damp. And cool. Ahhhhh.
-
YEAH!!! Can't wait until we get some rain...they say maybe this weekend.
-
Oh.. And I believe I passed another kidney stone earlier this morning... Ouch! Thus my own case of moving slower than expected this morning.
I am prone to those. Man, are they a pain. Vibes you are done with it.
Thank You, DR John G. Alas, I have a feeling that I may still be dealing with them for a few more days. What bothers me the most about them is the lower back pain I develop. It truly makes getting out of bed in the morning something unpleasant and something that I really have to "plan" and think about.
-
And...
I think I'm going to get ready for bed.
Goodnight.
-
I hope you feel better soon, Jose.
-
Smooth passage vibes and quick recovery vibes to DR Jose~~~~~~~~

Finished with my viewing. Would really love to have gotten another ten and a half hours of sleep but I'm getting up at six to announce our 100th CD title. I shall then promptly go back to bed.

;D

Sweet dreams.

Must be errant & truant. Very behind in my daily routine of life. Not having my car in a car town sucks.
End of rant.
