Well, you've read the notes, the notes were rehearsed, and now it is time for you to post until the rehearsed cows come home.

Yesterday, my father, Jack Shayne, was awarded the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal for his contribution for starting The Children's Wish Foundation of Canada. I am so proud of him. (http://www.jubileediamonds.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Queen’s-Diamond-Jubilee-Medal.jpg)

Good morning, all! I am awake, dressed and wanting to return to bed. At 8:30, I'll walk over to my local post office and ship some of the Herbert CDs to London and to Dublin. Then I'm off to Toyland.
Last night, I finally began tallying my tax receipts. I'm in that period when I sit around and wait for employers to send me my 1099s, whatever, and hope I haven't misplaced the ones I did receive. I may do transportation receipts next because they are the worst: hundreds of $5-8.00 taxi receipts.
More coffee!
-
DR MichaelShayne, that's wonderful!
-
Congrats MS!
-
Good morning, all.
-
Sitting in on a McCOW rehearsal tonight.
Moving from one extreme to the other, we've got warm temps today and are under threat of strong winds tonight.
Mulling over new computer ideas. A tough call.
And so it goes.
-
I love Karen Morrow, and I know she'd do a great job on that song.
-
Congratulations to DD Jack Shayne!
-
Congratulations to your dad, Mike!
-
Good morning. It is still dark here.
-
That is amazing DR Michael Shayne. Congrats to your dad.

DR Jane re: my niece's difficult reading books. She has to go thru six french books a week. At the level she is at (each kid is at their own level) a lot of the books are informational. Just seemed too hard to me.
-
DR Jane wow I am surprised that you do not have lots of extra books on your nook to read. I have twenty books I own, ten netgalley ebooks, probably at least 30 ebooks on my kindle i want to read. And that does not even include the probably 50 books my library has that are on my want to read list. It also does not include all the new books coming out this year.

THE BAZ just published an interview with me about my new play, RATHBONE.

Good morning, all.
Packed and hopefully ready to go. I dropped the bird off at the Tweet Suite. He was almost accommodating, but I don't think he likes his few days away from me too much.
-
DR Mike, that's wonderful news. Congratulations to your father.
-
I love Karen Morrow, and I know she'd do a great job on that song.
I just wish I could hear her sing this.
-
It dropped 30 degrees over night here. Hope that's not an omen for beach weather. Granted, South Padre is six hours south, but I'm hoping for some decent weather. Doesn't have to be summer, but I don't really want winter either.
-
Are you taking your camera? Be on the lookout for neat birds!
-
Greetings from Toyland!
THe weather, after last week's cold, seems downright tropical today. And quite humid.
-
It is now warm enough here to rain. So crazy. A few days ago it was -30C and now it is going to be +7C (mid 40sF).
-
Reading the mention of HOT IN CLEVELAND here I just checked to see how far behind we are. We just had ep 3-16. And I guess you guys are on season 4.

Congratulations to the father of DR MICHAEL SHAYNE....most excellent recognition of his work!

I have seen Season Three of DOWNTON ABBEY now....but I have NOT seen the 90 minute Christmas special as yet.
I will say that I love the Dowager's comment in the last episode.....it is not a spoiler to give JUST the line.....but it is epic in its implications....
"Well...it was a full hour...everyday!"
-
In HD.....Miss Maggie Smith.....is beginning to look....her age......

Are you taking your camera? Be on the lookout for neat birds!
We are taking a three-hour birding/dolphin watching boat trip while we're there. I've taken it before and while we say we want birds, we'll gladly settle for the dolphins frolicking about.
Not all people are so flexible. I heard that Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter went out with Scarlet, the woman who owns the boat. Jimmy apparently is a serious birder with a life list that he loves adding to. The birds were shy that day, but the dolphins weren't. Rosalyn enjoyed herself thoroughly, but Jimmy was sad he didn't see more birds.
-
Reading the mention of HOT IN CLEVELAND here I just checked to see how far behind we are. We just had ep 3-16. And I guess you guys are on season 4.
I'm watching season three on DVD. I got through episode 13, I think, and had to return it this morning. The last episode I saw was when Susan Lucci moved in with the girls. Great self-parody.

Susan Lucci is a good egg! I've worked with her on a couple of things, and I am very fond of her.

Maria Callas is singing French arias to me this morning; Callas á Paris is my favortie of her recordings. It's too bad she insisted she was a soprano; perhaps if she'd gone to mezzo leading roles like Carmen, Eboli and Dalila, she'd have had a longer singign career.
-
In HD.....Miss Maggie Smith.....is beginning to look....her age......
She looks pretty aged, that's for sure.
Still, I wonder how much of it is "makeup".
Of course, one can ask that about "this photo" (with Pauline Collins) from her 2013 film "Quartet" in which she looks ever so much better than she does in "Downton Abbey".

DR MIke - that is excellent!

Wednesday morning greetings! Yesterday really wiped me out, even with Richard doing all the driving. We picked up my Mom for her doctor's appointment, from which we were sent directly to the orthopedist's office. She was told there that the only solution to her hip and leg pain would be surgical, which we already knew. We then made several stops to pick up things she'd run out of while I was away. The longer the afternoon went on, the more painful my ear became. I napped when we got home, prepared and ate dinner, and went to bed pretty early.
-
Congratulations to DR Michael S's father!

Could be the harsh television filming DR RLP.....
Her appearance in "Downton" is likely nearer the true way she looks. Given her hair style in "Quartet", there may be a lot of tape at play...!
-
LOL.....well a face on the BIG screen needs a little more attention, I would imagine.
-
So in the US Blu and Ray of Downton there are only eight episodes rather than the nine of the UK - I presume they did episodes one and two as their opener here in the US?
-
Congrats to Shayne's dad.
-
Oh, and I"m up.

I'll listen to it after a meeting that I have to go to in about five minutes.

From DR TCB:
Strange! Now Jane's name is showing up, but she has already said good night.
Odd, I might have read an email after saying goodnight but I didn't stay on the computer long.

From DR Vixmom:
The candidate is everything we could have hoped for and more... now comes preaching to the congregation and a
Q & A and then a vote

figured that was why you were watching Hot in Cleveland - to store up some heat before the trip!
This reminds me that I really don't want to go to Cleveland.

That is an amazing thing he did. I bet you were proud of him before he was this medal. How wonderful & exciting.
-
DR Jane re: my niece's difficult reading books. She has to go thru six french books a week. At the level she is at (each kid is at their own level) a lot of the books are informational. Just seemed too hard to me.
That's a lot of books. I'm surprised they can't find more interesting subjects for her level & age. I'm sure they exist. It is great she is doing so well.
-
Had a very nice lunch with Jason Graae. I can't talk about its purpose because every time I mention something here one of our GUESTS or lurkers runs and tries to do whatever it is I'm trying to do. It's happened just a few too many times and since I am no believer in coincidences I'm just keeping my trap shut.
-
Printer is here, and I have a friend coming to help set it up. One paper says that for anyone with Lion we should download the drivers online because the included disc is for operating systems older than Lion. However, the disc itself says 10.7 which is Lion so I'm thinking it might be all right.
-
DR Jane wow I am surprised that you do not have lots of extra books on your nook to read. I have twenty books I own, ten netgalley ebooks, probably at least 30 ebooks on my kindle i want to read. And that does not even include the probably 50 books my library has that are on my want to read list. It also does not include all the new books coming out this year.
I have 6 books on my library hold wish, all the are permitted for me to hold, and 28 books on my wish list.
I have about 10 books on my Nook wishlist.
The difference is that you have already downloaded your books while mine are there for me to download when I'm ready to read them. I'm guessing most of your books were purchased at a discount which I do when I have that option. I also download library books as they become available so I don't lose them.
-
Good morning, all.
Packed and hopefully ready to go. I dropped the bird off at the Tweet Suite. He was almost accommodating, but I don't think he likes his few days away from me too much.
It is nice you have a Tweet Suite for your bird. :)
SAFE & EASY TRAVELS AND HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!

Funny, while I was responding to DR Jennifer about my books an email from the library came in. I now have another book available. Once I download it I will have 3 books on my Nook.

Yah, my library does not lend ebooks to kindle. So that is not an option for me.
Yes a lot of the ebooks I get are discounted. But those weren't even the ones i was referring to. I have some enovellas for series i read and some ebooks i won.
-
DR Jane I have 100s of books on my kindle!
-
I am practically hyperventilating. I just went on netgalley (a site when you can get advanced reader copies of books for reviewers/bloggers/librarians...).
One of my top two favorite authors ... well her new book that is coming out next summer is on there. I'm sure today is the first day it was up. And this is a publisher who has accepted me before. Right now i'm getting accepted at maybe 50%. But fingers crossed on this one. I would definitely drop all my other books to read this one ASAP.

Did you get all of these discounted or free? I don't feel a need to purchase a book at full price until I'm ready to read it. Also, I have purchased books only to have them become available at the library shorty after, another reason to wait as long as possible.
-
DR Jane I have 100s of books on my kindle!
That's a lot of books. You could stop downloading now and not need to do so again for a long time ;)
-
I'm not tracking my books read for the year on Goodreads. I'm one book behind my goal of 150 books for the year. I figure that is because Les Miserable should count as two books.
-
Have started listening to "Middlemarch" on CD. Loved this novel when I read it more than 20 years ago, and many of the details seem as fresh as when I first read it. But I had forgotten a very telling story about the young hero Lydgate, who had fallen in love with a French actress with a lethal desire to be single.
The novel is spread out over 26 CDs, but I've managed to listen to five in the last few days.
-
Great observation from George Eliot on people and their medicines:
"... for since professional practice chiefly consisted in giving a great many drugs, the public inferred that it might be better off with more drugs still, if they could only be got cheaply, and hence swallowed large cubic measures of physic prescribed by unscrupulous ignorance."
-
;D
-
Waiting for someone to come help me set this printer thing up. I think I put in the one piece that you have to install in the back - it seemed to just slide in and snap, so I think I did that right. If the person I called isn't here in thirty minutes (it's already been ninety minutes since they said, "See you in a little while") I'll just call and have HP talk me through it. I already have the page on their site up that has the installation instructions for the Mac Lion operating system, but first I think I have to plug in the machine and install the ink. Just don't want to do anything wrong.
-
DR Jane I have 100s of books on my kindle!
That's a lot of books. You could stop downloading now and not need to do so again for a long time ;)
I have 182 items on my Kindle, but that includes a couple of games and just about every book that I've read (including short stories and several .pdf files that I've added myself), and a lot of books that I haven't read...yet. I don't delete them after I've read them. I just leave them there.
-
I'm not tracking my books read for the year on Goodreads. I'm one book behind my goal of 150 books for the year. I figure that is because Les Miserable should count as two books.
Isn't it actually five books...one for each of the main characters? At least, that's what I remember when I started to read it in college.

Technically I believe you are correct. I just figure in the book count it should at least count as if I read two books ;)

I don't purchase new books at full price. I find $10+ for an ebook to be too expensive. I get new books from the library. Or I win a lot of books.
-
DR Jane I have 100s of books on my kindle!
That's a lot of books. You could stop downloading now and not need to do so again for a long time ;)
Most of the free books I get are not books I would read otherwise. A lot of cook books, health, kids books ...
I like it when a book that is usually $12 is discounted. This happens once in a while that you can get a great book fro $2.99.

I'm only counting unread books. I have plenty of read books though the majority of books I have read were returned to the library.

I know, which is why you have more saved up to read. I don't currently have any discounted books to read-read them all.

DR George i don't delete books off my kindle after i've read them either. But i sometimes move them into a read folder.
-
DR Jane the books you want to buy on your nook, can't you just request them from your library and have your library buy them?
Not for eBooks.
-
DR George and anyone else who has a kindle.
I just recently found on that i can email stuff to my kindle. My email address is on my kindle's approved list. So if i find something I want to read on my kindle i can just send it there.
For example some authors have free short stories. I just copy whatever to microsoft word save it on my USB. Then i go into my email and send an email to my kindle with the file as an attachment. It takes like two minutes. And then you don't have to read off the computer!
-
DR Jane the books you want to buy on your nook, can't you just request them from your library and have your library buy them?

You can't make suggestions for ebooks?
-
DR Jane the books you want to buy on your nook, can't you just request them from your library and have your library buy them?
Not for eBooks.
Patrons can (and do) request e-books and downloadable talking books, music and movies at our libraries. Our selectors regularly purchase items from patron requests.

Patty Andrews was married to Marty Melcher when he met Doris Day and started running around with her.
Doris' manager was quoted in Doris' autobiography that "Marty loved Patty's money until Doris' money came along, and then because there was more of it, he loved Doris' money more."
The manager also related the tale of the night Doris' mother called him and told him that Patty Andrews was on her front porch hollering for Marty to come out of the house. Doris and Marty were out some place. Doris' mother said Patty had a baseball bat and was making short work of the screen door.
Ever since I read that, I have wondered why the Patty Andrews Special was never sold alongside the Louisville Slugger.

Travel vibes for DR JOHN G.

Reading the mention of HOT IN CLEVELAND here I just checked to see how far behind we are. We just had ep 3-16. And I guess you guys are on season 4.
I'm watching season three on DVD. I got through episode 13, I think, and had to return it this morning. The last episode I saw was when Susan Lucci moved in with the girls. Great self-parody.
I was reading this a looking at Maggie Smith at the same time and thought
Susan Lucci moved into Downton Abbey?

Printer installation vibes for MR BK.

In HD.....Miss Maggie Smith.....is beginning to look....her age......
She looks pretty aged, that's for sure.
Still, I wonder how much of it is "makeup".
Of course, one can ask that about "this photo" (with Pauline Collins) from her 2013 film "Quartet" in which she looks ever so much better than she does in "Downton Abbey".

Except for getting a great son from the relationship I think Doris was the loser, not Patty.

Well, I'm off to my parents' house for some spaghetti!
Be back later.

Person to help with the printer didn't show up even forty minutes later (eventually called and hadn't even left yet - I declined any further help at that point, since I was in the midst of doing it myself). So, I called HP, got a nice gent on the phone, and he had me plug in the thing, install the ink and he talked me through the set-up. After setting up the printer itself and getting it to "find" my network, then he had me use the CD to install, since it was indeed okay for Lion operating systems. That took about ten minutes, we "added" the printer and attempted to print. I went to a Word doc and it wouldn't print saying Word wasn't recognizing the printer. He said not to worry at the moment, had me print from a PDF, which was fine, and then set up the scanner to work, which it did just fine. Once all that was done, he said Word had a known issue with the printer and that I'd have to call Apple to get that worked out.
-
I then called Apple, got a nice gent on the phone, we did some tests, then he had me check software updates and there was one for the printer - we did it, and voila, Word printed fine, so all is well and well is all and I once again can print.

Yesterday, my father, Jack Shayne, was awarded the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal for his contribution for starting The Children's Wish Foundation of Canada. I am so proud of him. (http://www.jubileediamonds.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Queen’s-Diamond-Jubilee-Medal.jpg)
Incredible news, Mike! Congratulations to your father.

I have another book available through the library. I had better read faster. I slept fairly decent the last two nights and didn't get much reading done. Sleep is good. I should be reading now instead.

'night

Thank you all for your nice comments.
My father was absolutely beaming when I talked to him on FaceTime. This has perked him up and gives a goal to wait for when he is presented with it next month.
My mother was so happy that when she called me at work to tell me I wasn't there but she made sure my fellow co-workers knew!! :-)
Thanks again to all

Page five? Five pages?

THE BAZ just published an interview with me about my new play, RATHBONE.

Nice interview, DR Druxy!

How long do you get the books for? Cause if you get them for three weeks and read a book every two days then you should not have to rush.

Congrats to DR Mike's father. 8) 8)

From DR TCB:
Strange! Now Jane's name is showing up, but she has already said good night.
Odd, I might have read an email after saying goodnight but I didn't stay on the computer long.
Your name stayed up there for about a half hour.

Waiting for someone to come help me set this printer thing up. I think I put in the one piece that you have to install in the back - it seemed to just slide in and snap, so I think I did that right. If the person I called isn't here in thirty minutes (it's already been ninety minutes since they said, "See you in a little while") I'll just call and have HP talk me through it. I already have the page on their site up that has the installation instructions for the Mac Lion operating system, but first I think I have to plug in the machine and install the ink. Just don't want to do anything wrong.
You have created entire motion pictures, you have produced literally hundreds of music CDs, and you have written some fantastic books. And yet, you are worried about installing your new computer wrong?

Good evening. Was mostly E&T today due to a house issue that needed attention and is decently under control but which will require the services of a plumber. Vent pipe in attic had water in it and developed a leak. Long story. But that long story leads to why I also suddenly require a new computer. Not a lot of fun, no sirree.
-
But this evening was fun. Attended a blocking rehearsal and could hardly say no to playing it, so even though I'm still a little rough on the score, I was no worse than the cast and we all had a good time.
-
I have really liked the HP printer I've had for a few years. Series 7600 or something like that. Sadly, the ethernet port got fried somehow and this one didn't have wireless, so the only way I can use it now is to be directly connected to it. But when it goes, I'll definitely get another HP.
-
I'm glad I watched Downton Abbey on Monday--Tuesday's Washington Post had an article about the big surprise.
Kevin, how are you going to get a ticket to the Academy Awards?
-
I like HP, too - had I bought my last one through HP directly I would have still been under warranty. But this new model is so much quieter and faster than the one I got two-and-a-half years ago, so I'm very happy. It also holds more paper and the inks all last longer.
-
Finished with my viewing. I think I'll take a nice hot shower.

I am so sorry Chas. Better days vibes, my friend!

Is Raul Esparza gay? He didn't seem gay as Bobby in COMPANY, but he sure does on LAW & ORDER.

I'd read that he considers himself bi...and I think only recently (within the last few years) admitted that to himself.

Lord I wish there was some way to make spammers suffer, and I mean like torture and death. I literally cannot keep up with nuking this crap and that includes sixty spam registrations a day on this site. The minute I nuke fifty from e-mail, another ten are there one minute later.
-
Like DR ChasSmith, I was also E and T today, but I did not require the services of a plumber.

Congrats to DR Mike's father! That is really very wonderful!

Today was the first day of my ultra long weekend! And it was quite productive.
I did take time out to watch an episode of the 1970s series DAN AUGUST. Burt Reynolds is quite subdued in that show...or maybe it was just that particular episode. Still, I liked it and an actor that I will soon be interviewing was in the guest cast.
Did anyone here watch this series when it originally aired? I don't think we got it in Medford (we only had 2 Network tv stations at that time).

Belated page 5 Dan August dance.

Soon I shall be off to bed. Tomorrow I am meeting my brother Jeff for lunch in downtown Portland at Thai Bamboo.
Jeff is retiring from his Federal Govt job and he and his wife are moving back to Medford next month.
