Congratulations to DR TCB on his nomination and WIN....prolly the first of many for his performance!
Well knock me over with DR TCB's feather - I received a letter from my insurance provider this morning telling me that my first monthly payment is due and that it has been paid by my subsidy, so I should be receiving my ID CARD and Plan Information in the mail....probably early next week.
So - we shall see what we shall see....
Congratulations Tom!!! :)
Great news, Tommy!
I know it is early to rant but
Three actors that agreed to do the reading of the play back out yesterday. Based on recommendations from some of the other actors I think I have replacements.
I know its a non paying gig but I did give you several months notice.

Thanks Jack. It came out of the blue. I had no idea.

Commitments don't seem to mean diddly squat to people any more, especially actors. They will keep you on the hook, just in case nothing else comes along, but if it does - they are gone like a shot!
I got my li'l package of Fox films including DESK SET (I always start to type DESK JET) a few days ago. In keeping with today's notes, I shall watch that very film this evening. I'm not all that familiar with this one so it'll be great fun seeing it, and the perfect thing to enjoy (along with probably one or two other fine movies) during my enforced snowstorm, er, staycation.

Back to the office today after over a month away.
9 more years!!!
Crown vibes for DR GINNY....
I love it when Kate sings Night and Day and plays the bongos.
And what was the computer's name? Something like Emirak?
Great bit of fun.
I guess DR Jennifer isn't kidding about how cold it is up north. But Mars??

Desk Set (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desk_Set)
We made it to the dentist's office and back and I'm now the proud owner of a temporary crown on the tooth that I cracked three weeks ago. My face is still kind of numb...
Oh, dear. I had a negligent upbringing. I have never seen DESK SET, and indeed until today had never even heard of it. :P
One learns so much on HHW.
Until Ms. Gruchow found it, only the final, printed version from July 1775 had been known to exist. She consulted with Michael D. Hattem, a teaching fellow and research assistant on The Papers of Benjamin Franklin at Yale. He analyzed the handwriting on the yellowed pages of the manuscript and did textual analysis that led to an unexpected conclusion: The document was written by Robert R. Livingston, a prominent New York jurist who had been on the fence about whether to support independence for the colonies.
The following year, Congress tapped Livingston to draft the Declaration of Independence along with Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and Roger Sherman. Livingston went on to swear in Washington as the first president. Other historians who have reviewed the document Ms. Gruchow found say her discovery explains why he was chosen. It could also change the perception of Livingston’s role in the push for independence because it had always been assumed that the document at the mansion was the work of another prominent colonial figure, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia.
Good afternoon. I guess this would not be a good time to mention that it is 77 degrees F here, would it?

I guess I'll have to come visit.
Glad to hear it, Vixmom. When I flew to El Paso last week, the security line was so long, I missed my flight even though I had gotten to the airport an hour before flight. All those holiday travelers.
That does it!! First the male hookers on 42nd Street, and now the horse-drawn carriages in Central Park.What is happening to The City??

then off to Panera where I snagged the comfy chair right in front of the fireplace and treated myself to steel cut oatmeal with pecans, strawberries and cinnamon brown sugar topping and then just to be completely sure I had a good layer of fat to stave off the cold I had a mug of hot chocolate made with steamed milk, and topped with whipped cream and caramel sauce
The work load is really scarily light at the moment all of us on the office strived to get everything done for tomorrow and Monday and succeeded
we (well mostly me) explained to the boss that since 2 of us can remote in to our emails and there was nothing pressing that needed to be done tomorrow we had no intention of coming u in if the weather is as bad a predicted
How is it possible I can type "elucidate" properly and be unable to type the word "what"
DR TCB - congratulations on your Varnie! So thrilled for you.
Congratulations to DR TCB on his nomination and WIN....prolly the first of many for his performance!
And my congrats, also!!!!
As if having a great rehearsal with the most talented kids wasn't candy enough, I then spent an hour with Richard Sherman polishing the song we've written together - what fun! I don't really collaborate as a songwriter, but this was just too irresistible and the back-and-forth with Richard was just so exhilarating. And the song is really catchy and positive - that was what I ultimately wanted in the lyric I gave him and he added a few things, I added a few more, and he did a wonderful Sherman tune, which we then finessed together.
Almost all our singers are getting over colds so I'm loading up on Cold-eez and Airborne just to be safe. Must now go eat something before I fall over.
Popping in from the blizzard city of Portland, Maine to wish everyone a Happy New Year!!
The trip here took 26 hours: one delayed flight, a 5 hour airport wait, then a cancelled connection causing a hotel stay in Newark (dear diary), had me landing in time for first rehearsal with next to no sleep. Yesterday was a blessed catch up day, where I was mostly walking comatose. And now it's minus 3 degrees and already about 8 inches of snow today. Other than that, everything's great! :P
Back to study here. I hope everyone's having a warm and happy first week of the new year.

And I am home from physical therapy and a trip to the pharmacy for my monthly meds. I will have some lunch and then work on Trumpet 4.
Back to the office today after over a month away.
9 more years!!!
Congrats! I, of course, have more than 20 left...and I have 25 in!
However, I do have less than 9 years on my mortgage! :D
Vixdad was home already and I made another big English breakfast for dinner tonight and now we are comfortably full, warm and watchingt he snow fall
I headed homeward and since it was too early to go to work (and I knew if I went home I would fall back asleep) I headed to the Panera down the road from my office for breakfast on the way OI passed a grocery so stopped in to to my legal duty and buy bread - I was negligent in that I did not buy any milk but since I already had a huge amount at home I hope the blizzard police will let me off with a warning
then off to Panera where I snagged the comfy chair right in front of the fireplace and treated myself to steel cut oatmeal with pecans, strawberries and cinnamon brown sugar topping and then just to be completely sure I had a good layer of fat to stave off the cold I had a mug of hot chocolate made with steamed milk, and topped with whipped cream and caramel sauce

Since I had a holiday gift card, I decided to use it to buy a Roku 3. Now I have my very own, brand new Roku 3 sitting next to be desk. I have not the slightest idea what to do with it.
Tom, it is most appropriate for you to post of your awards and other successes here. We want to know and are cheering you on.

How do you know it isn't she snow?

Vixmom, did you see my post about the new Mayor of New York?
But before I go, here's Jeanne's 10000th Post!! My browser is set to zoom to 125%, so it's a little larger than reality:
Ben or elmore is there snow in the city?

Did you purchase an HDMI cable? You need it to connect the box to your HD Flat Screen television (Roku 3 boxes only work with HD televisions). And if you don't have wifi in your apartment you need an ethernet cable to plug the box into your modem. If you do have wifi you don't need the ethernet, you just need to know the name of your wifi network and the password. Once it's connected to your television, you just follow the prompts and you're done in a matter of minutes. You can watch Netflix and other paid streaming movie services or you can find the hundreds of free channels/networks with games, movies, television shows and other ephemera.
Congratulations to DR Jeanne!

I just saw a helpful hint - to keep your pizza warm on the way home, set it on the passenger seat and turn on the seat warmer. It would have to stay warm a long time to drive it to TCB
My computer is flipping out tonight, so I am shutting it down for the night.
