Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of Kritzerland at Sterling's 30, and now it is time for you to post until the thirty cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: BOUSTROPHEDON!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Good morning, all!
I got plenty of sleep last night and was out of bed by 6:45am. In about 45 minutes I'll head down to Toyland. I need to stop at my bank and inquire about yesterday's check deposit.
I heard from the Man from Philadelphia. The radio interview will be next Monday between 2 and 4, so I need to plan my trip to Trenton. The actual broadcast will be with the EILEEN recording on March 17.
BK, it's good to hear last night's show went well. Congratulations!
-
Good morning, all.
Congrats on a great show last night, BK.
-
TOD: I'm still dreaming of sandy beaches after this weekend, so I'd say either Maui or the southern coast of Portugal.
-
;D
-
Good morning.
Congrats again bk.

-
Ordering cd's this evening.
Off to work.
;D
-
Wonderful Tuesday.
Sandy beaches.
Blue skies.
:)

WOW 30 SHOWS.
Congrats again bk.

Congratulations on suych a great show.
-
Good morning, all.
Oy! (For so many reasons, getting up this morning probably the least of them.)
-
I'm on a borrowed laptop for just a short time, and FINALLY got to watch OUTSIDE THE BOX.
Wonderful, wonderful!
Will return to that, and all the other episodes, soon.
I've continued agonizing over the laptop issue, and I know some of you will tsk-tsk this decision, but I can have a dynamite computer for one-half to one-third the price of the MacBook I'd really want, so that's the way it has to go this time. Going Apple is not off the table. It's just deferred. And when I do it, I'll do it right.
-
Will be ordering CD shortly. That's going to be a great one.
-
And.....just did.
-
Anyhoo, I should have new computer tomorrow. Tomorrow......
-
Congrats on the show, BK!
-
And congrats on the milestone, too!

Did I ever say what happened to the laptop?
I don't think so.
A septic system vent pipe that runs through the unfinished attic had a little water in it (normal), which froze at a point right above my desk in my second story bedroom. Right over the laptop. I came in from snow clearing to find a drip of water entering the keyboard right next to the power button.
And why, you ask (I certainly asked it), after nearly 19 years, did this pipe suddenly freeze up? Because a squirrel or something had entered the attic at some point (not uncommon) and had pushed some insulation around in so doing, exposing that section of the pipe to a direct blast of cold air. The water froze and cracked the pipe, sending a steady trickle through the fittings around a forced-air heating duct over the desk.
I'm told there's still a chance that the last bit of water in the machine will eventually evaporate and it could start again. But it's been eight days now, and I suspect the water shorted something or caused some other damage. A friend assures me the data on the hard drive is safe and can be recovered. And he knows how to do it.
Anyway, that's my little overdue story for the day. Have to return this laptop now, so more later.
-
Tuesday morning greetings! Today I should be going to Dayton for lunch with the grant writers and coffee with my friend Sue, but I cancelled those plans yesterday morning.
-
I'm up (barely) and have announced and I think I'll go back to bed - I'll set the alarm for nine, just in case.
-
Greetings from Toyland!
The subway was screwed up this morning because of a problem at 18th Street: the conductor said mechanical problem, the loud speaker said illness. So, I got off at 50th Street where the train was sitting, got on a No 7 bus and in 10 minutes arrived at my destination. It beat the bus ride home yesterday for screaming children who take up seats for free, their nannies, and their mommies. It's my observation from observing all for the past 30 years, that the mommies are selfish and spoil their kids by ignoring their bus activity, and too many nannies are morons who I've often seen cross traffic against the light with strollers or take their charges into Barnes & Noble, drop them off to wreak havoc in the children's dept. while they chat with other nannies or spend their time reading the horoscope books.
ROBERTA is waiting for me!
-
BK, congratulations on your successful show! Richard and I are hoping to get to NYC sometime this year - please keep us posted as your touring plans develop!
-
Wild story on the laptop, ChasSmith. Those pesky squirrels. Ain't good for nuthin' but dinner.
-
Or maybe a hat. Does anyone still wear ...?
-
I have received my FREE PIZZA code from Papa John's and it is good until March 10.
-
DR JOHN G are you taking dance lessons for a specific reason or is it just because? Do you compete?
-
Sounds like the show and audience were both in good form last night! Congrats to BK & Co.
-
Bitterly cold today. Had oats for breakfast then while at the mall had a coffee and a bacon roll. Then I took the motor into the automatic car wash.
-
Congrats on the successful show, BK.
-
DR Doug R: I forgot to ask before, but I was curious about the DVD that idiot buyer complained about. Which was it, and was it a UK or US edition?
-
DR JOHN G are you taking dance lessons for a specific reason or is it just because? Do you compete?
I used to compete, but my partner moved to Albany, N.Y. Kinda hard when I'm here in San Antonio.
But I have taken time off and am very rusty at the moment. I do it mostly for the exercise, but also because I just enjoy the social dancing aspect of it.

DR Doug R: I forgot to ask before, but I was curious about the DVD that idiot buyer complained about. Which was it, and was it a UK or US edition?
DR ChasSmith: I'm almost embarrassed to say what it was! AMITYVILLE 3D, the UK edition. Now you can understand why I wanted to sell it ;D
-
Big Amazon.com day for me...am expecting Blu ray discs of "Peter Pan", "Cabaret", and "Laura" as well as a new electric mattress warmer. Since it's all shipped to me at work, I'm guessing UPS delivery will be between 6:45 p.m. and 8 p.m. They love to make an issue of delivering by 8 p.m. to an office building that closes its doors at 6 p.m.

Ha! Excellent confession there, sir! :D

Good morning
That's all I got
-
Glad to hear the show went well last night.
-
good noon time to all
-
i don't usually get soundtracks, but Laura is a great score and a great film. ordered!

Ah....I see. We need to see competition photos.
-
Fell asleep for an hour - forgot to set the alarm, but thankfully the phone rang.
-
VIDEO would tell the story better, don't you think, DR Jrand62?
-
Well yes....that is true.
-
DR TCB did your DVD of SEE HOW THEY RUN work for you......

Oh.....that is too bad.....maybe there are some online someplace.....
-
Huzzah!
Ontrac delivered all my expected Amazon purchases...in one big box. They arrived an hour ago!!!
-
Very nice DR Ron Pulliam. I am expecting a big box delivery as well, but not until later in the week.
-
TOD:
Japan. Because I love the place and haven't been there since my first visit in 1990.
Mumbai, India. I think we already know why.
-
BK, Congrats on another successful Kritzerland evening!!
-
I would like to visit Los Angeles USA and Rome Italy Europe
-
And I am home. Too much to do.
-
Tonight is the 2 hour premiere of SMASH. Looking forward to it (9-11pm).
-
There is nothing that could make me watch any of Smash season one or a two-hour season premiere. Call me crazy.
-
Back from the dentist and bonding. I did have to have Novocaine - not too bad, but he used a LOT of it and the whole right side of my mouth is so numb I literally have no control.
-
Now I'll wait for the termite people, although I have not seen a one since I sprayed Raid in there.
-
Three!
-
Tonight is the 2 hour premiere of SMASH. Looking forward to it (9-11pm).
Me, too! :D

Me, three! But it conflicts with Michigan/Ohio State basketball on ESPN, so I'll be channel-flipping a bit.

When a cell phone (much smaller, I know) gets wet, it can be put in some dry, uncooked rice for a few days. I wonder if this would/could work for a laptop.

What a great picture!!

The Termite People
With
John Agar
June Kenney
Kenny Miller
Peggie Castle
Produced & Directed by Bert I. Gordon
Released by American International Pictures - 1959
-
I am not a SMASH watcher either......
-
Great photo, BK!
-
Great photo. Karen Morrow looks particularly wonderful.
-
Another aggravating phone call from this soprano who's working my last nerve.
-
Termite Man is running late and won't be here until two-thirty. How irritating.
-
BK, I am glad to read that you are finally bonding with your dentist!
-
Someone inthis building is cooking a chicken, and it smells fantastic!
-
I think I will watch some COPS
-
Well, mostly the news is good - what we thought were termites are carpenter ants. He's isolated the two areas where they are coming in, which naturally are the two windows in the living room that have the large dry rot problem that I've been telling these people about for two years now. He did find some minor termite evidence elsewhere, so he'll probably treat that with the orange spray. So to begin, he'll treat the two windows and that will take care of the carpenter ants. He also suggested we cut back some trees that are too close to the house - that apparently makes it worse. Then he'll give me a price for the termite stuff and that I'll run by the business manager - I'm not running the carpenter ants by anyone and I'll just deduct from this month's rent.

From DR Cilla:
The US does recognize marriages from other countries, but you have to register them with the legal authorities there like you would do a civil ceremony here and file the marriage certificate. Most people don't want to do that, so it is best to do a civil ceremony here too
Thank you for explaining.

Bruce congratulations on your show last night, especially with Jennifer in the audience.

Not good at all!!

DITTO!

Someone inthis building is cooking a chicken, and it smells fantastic!
Oh, someone on my floor has been doing some major cooking lately, and I just want to find out who it is and invite myself over...it always smells soooooooo yummy! I think it might the University student from Saudi Arabia who moved in down the hall last month. She is studying for her Masters.
-
BRUCE VIBES THE ANTS STAY AWAY!!!
-
I forgot to mention how easy it was for me to go through security at the airports on our trip to and from Cozumel. Now that I don't have to hand carry the injectable medication I'm not automatically subjected to a body search.
-
Medford and San Francisco have new machines. You go through them like the naked machines only it just shows an outline of your body and anything questionable. My artificial body part doesn't raise red flags.
-
Cancun had the traditional machine but I didn't set off alarms when I went through it, not even the zippers on my cargo pants that had to be checked in San Francisco & Medford. Keith was shocked to see me so quickly. He didn't even have time to pick up our stuff after it went through the x-ray machine. :)

Offer to grocery shop for her in exchange for a meal ;)

Good evening!
-
Congrats on last night's show, BK! I sure hope you bring it to Washington!
-
I am also looking forward to Smash, but will record it since it's not over till 11 pm.
-
Well, I'm off. Capital Playhouse is having a Welcome Reception for their new Managing Director, Lauren. Lauren used to work at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts and we've been in a couple of shows together. I'm sure that it'll be a fun little shindig. :D
Until later!

But before I go...

I know it's not the same but do you have a calculator on your computer? I have one, it's part of Windows. Apple probably has one somewhere in all that software.

Bummer DR elmore but thank you for reminding me to mail Craig's tax info that was mailed here.

I recognize Karen Morrow
Can you please identify the
A troupe of strolling players are they,
Not stars like L.B. Mayer's are they
But just a simple band
Who roams about the land
Dispensing fol-de-rol frivolity.
Mere folk who give distraction are they
No Theater Guild attraction are they
But just a crazy group
That never ceases to troop
Around Kritzerland at Sterling

Page four? Four pages?
-
Watching Laura. What a movie. What a score. And certainly the fastest moving CD we've put out in some months. It won't be around past the end of this week - at least that's what it looks like right now.
-
'night
-
Well, I didn't go to the reception. I spilled some foodstuffs on my shirt and didn't want to go all the way home and then go back out again, so I just came home. :)
-
I just watched last week's "Grey's Anatomy" and now am watching "Scandal."
-
Just had to share....
-
This is now four, count 'em FOUR posts!
-
Today, I received the new Broadway cast recording of The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
-
I listened to the first disc and enjoyed it. I'll listen to the second disc with all the confessions tomorrow.
-
I really like Stephanie J. Block.
-
Another thing that I just got is called Ms. Taken Ring and Keychain (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0029T3TUI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00)...it's a key ring with a fake wedding ring hidden in it and single women can slip on the ring when they don't want to be approached by men hitting on them.
-
I bought it as a funny kind of key ring that I've never seen before and don't have. The "reviews" on Amazon are pretty funny. The negative reviews are mainly about it being stainless steel and not resizable...and it'll turn your finger green.

I'd invite myself over, too.

She's a lot of fun. Having seen Betty Buckley in the role though is a hard memory to erase. That said, I enjoyed hearing a new take on the score.
-
Watching Laura. What a movie. What a score. And certainly the fastest moving CD we've put out in some months. It won't be around past the end of this week - at least that's what it looks like right now.
Congrats on that. I borrowed "Laura" from a friend recently. Haven't had time to watch it. Haven't seen it in about 10 years.
-

What is it with delicious aromas wafting from down the hall today? Perhaps it's an invitation to share a meal with someone you don't know.
-
I'm on a borrowed laptop for just a short time, and FINALLY got to watch OUTSIDE THE BOX.
Wonderful, wonderful!
Will return to that, and all the other episodes, soon.
I've continued agonizing over the laptop issue, and I know some of you will tsk-tsk this decision, but I can have a dynamite computer for one-half to one-third the price of the MacBook I'd really want, so that's the way it has to go this time. Going Apple is not off the table. It's just deferred. And when I do it, I'll do it right.
No need to apoligize, Chas, not all of us have gone over to the Mac side.
-
Just back from helping a friend conduct a wine class tonight. It eats away an evening, but I got free samples and will get $45 for working the evening. And I got the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Something called a "pork rib-eye" and some zucchini medley with tomatoes and onions. It might have been ratatouille except for the fact that there's coconut chutney cooked into the sauce.

Nope. Can't afford to go to the Mac side.
-
What'll it take to get us to page five, TCB?
-
I've started watching "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." Not my favorite Gene Kelly or Comden and Green. I always want it to be better than it is. But I'll give it another chance.
-
One more.
-
Five!
-
Many have already said it, but I have to say it anyway...
THAT IS A GREAT PICTURE!!!
-
SMASH is on!! ;D
-
DR Doug R: I forgot to ask before, but I was curious about the DVD that idiot buyer complained about. Which was it, and was it a UK or US edition?
DR ChasSmith: I'm almost embarrassed to say what it was! AMITYVILLE 3D, the UK edition. Now you can understand why I wanted to sell it ;D
I was married in Amityville
-
Yes, that one
-
About 3 blocks away from the house that was the subject of that movie
-
I thought I could never go to the Mac side, but when my Dell hard drive crashed and I lost everything on it save for what I had on my zip discs, after literally stomping it to pieces as soon as the Dell man in India said nothing could be recovered, I did a poll on this here site, got opinions, and took the plunge and have never looked back. Someone told me that once I made the switch I would never be able to look at a PC without wanting to vomit on the ground - and they were right. For me, the joys of the Mac are boundless - it's easy, it's friendly, it's intuitive and frankly, pretty cheap for the desktop models.

I've watched one and a half motion pictures but am just too zonked to finish Cabaret.

Dare I go check the other room for carpenter ants?
