Another dose.

Thanks, Dakota and Vixmom and John G.! I almost had a heart attack last night, though. I turned on the computer and started the sound board program, but all the links to the audio files within the program weren't pointing to the right place! I couldn't figure out what happened. THERE WAS NO SOUND!! Gabe, the stage manager poked around and realized that the links were pointing to a main folder, but all the tracks were in a sub-folder. And for some reason, the program wouldn't let us relink to the sub-folder. So Gabe just copied all the tracks from the sub-folder and pasted them into the main folder and it all worked. Whew...disaster averted!! :D

Post by: ChasSmith on February 08, 2014, 05:47:55 AM: TOD

I love a good steak and a good steak house vibe, but there are legendary ones I have yet to experience, such as Peter Luger's in Brooklyn and I hope to rectify that someday. I have also never been to a Palm or a Ruth's Chris.

I guess I'd have to say that, by default, at least a few of the technically best steak dinners I've had were those enjoyed with the more knowledgeable people in the company I worked for, and on their expense accounts. One was at Stonehenge in Ridgefield, CT (close to me in distance, but not to my bank account) and two were in jernts (whose names I've long forgotten) in the Atlanta area. Smith & Wollensky in NYC, which I liked but always suspected it wasn't quite the equal of some of the other NYC steak houses. But I've enjoyed many wonderful steak dinners at places that were hardly the world's greatest, with people whose company and conversation made the event worth remembering. The world's great food is, well, always great, but it's the overall experience that counts.

Post by: elmore3003 on February 08, 2014, 06:49:19 AM: Good morning, all! I had to get out of bed to see if my friend had answered my email abut canceling lunch today. There was no reply and I hate leaving him in the lurch. For some moronic reason, I don't have his cell phone number, so I called his home in DC and left a message. I hope he gets it before he heads yo the Brooklyn Diner to meet me.

I will be heading back to bed very shortly, and I'm still unsure about tomorrow. My head aches, and my eyesore not happy with too much light. And those are the more pleasant symptoms!

The omens for this weekend are not good.

Post by: ChasSmith on February 08, 2014, 08:26:10 AM: The weather predictions for tomorrow are hardly dire, so if it stays that way I'll drive in tomorrow for greatest flexibility. As it stands now, I believe DR KevinH and I are the only ones going? And we'll wait and see how DR Elmore is feeling.

My only train option for the branch line I live on is 10:39 AM arriving Grand Central at 12:41 PM, return trip departing at 8:38 or 9:08 PM. That's all okay, as it accommodates enjoying a nosh after the matinee. But I'll drive if I can. If DR Elmore doesn't feel like schlepping to Midtown, perhaps a little get-together at Artie's might be doable.

I'll just hang loose on this till tonight or first thing in the morning, then post here what I'm doing.

DR KevinH, where are you sitting? I'm in front row balcony, a little right of center. I'll PM y'all my cell #, etc.

Title: Re: THE BOOK FAIR
Post by: John G. on February 08, 2014, 08:34:42 AM: TOD: I love steak, but I probably enjoy it most when I grill a packet of New York strips or rib-eyes from Costco, more than I do anything from Ruth's Chris, Morton's or the other steakhouses in town.

I've done that a few times. I'll have a dozen or so friends over, folks who can't afford those places, and we've divvied up the cost of the meat. Everyone made a side dish, appetizer or dessert. I'll throw in the red wine, and we all have a great time.

Haven't been able to do that in the last couple of years because of classes and work. Maybe this summer.

Post by: Jeanne on February 08, 2014, 01:11:56 PM: Cilla, I share your disgust at how medicine is often practiced. I hope you find a doctor you really like.

I've been using Life Extension (lef.org) for my blood tests for many years now. They have hundreds of tests and their prices are MUCH cheaper than what the doctors have quoted me. I prefer not having to go through a doctor to order the tests. I can call or order online. They send me a requisition, which I then take to any Lab Corps (lots of them nearby) to do the blood draw. As long as I can pay for it I have have any test I want, so I'm in charge. I have found most doctors to be poorly informed as to the great array of tests available. I always review the results with my doctor, but I have the option of reviewing them with one of Life Extension's advisors at no charge. I'm very happy with this arrangement.

Keith liked it so we went more often to steak houses than I would have gone. I did like the baked potatoes with sour cream and chives that often accompanied the steaks. I didn't dislike steak, I just didn't love it. It was one of the easiest meats for me to give up.

Post by: elmore3003 on February 08, 2014, 01:29:50 PM: I had to get out of bed, where I've mostly been nodding as music plays on the stereo, to answer the door and get my packages from the postman. Now my left ear is playing a blocked-open-blocked-again game that is neither encouraging nor much fun.

I've been listening to Arthur Sullivan's 1898 comic (???) opera THE BEAUTY STONE, set in medieval Flanders involving the devil, some peasants, and a prince, which was a huge flop. I blame it on the dreadful book and lyrics, since the music is lovely but at times a bit turgid. Garbage inspires no one.

It's the first professional recording of the score and there's a lot of restored music not in the vocal score. There's some good singing and one over the hill baritone who's no longer singing so well. I'll listen to it again when I feel better and don't keep falling asleep. I might like it more then.

DR Jeanne, I hope the shingles are gone very soon. I'm going back to bed.

Has anyone else noticed that many publishers are now putting out only hardback books and Kindle/ereader editions? Apparently, mass market paperbacks have gone the way of the dodo bird. I think a Kindle may be in my future--not really out of choice.

I had no idea.

I see BK has been looking up old Bluthers and has given me a memory test of sorts. The first person who came to mind--I don't have the old programs here--was Ellen (Ellen Banks?), a quiet girl with short, curly, dark hair. But I think BK's lunch companion was more likely Diane Noble, who danced in quite a few of the shows. I didn't really know Diane, but I think BK told me they knew one another.

Ellen Bank never did a Bluth Brothers show - she went to Hamilton - and she came to see Pure Imagination a few weeks ago. Diane Noble (now Linder) is correct.

I definitely don't get NBC sports channel or MSNBC. But we have the Olympics on 3 channels (CBC, TSN and Sportsnet) from 6am till 2pm so I am not missing any events.

Thanks, Dakota and Vixmom and John G.! I almost had a heart attack last night, though. I turned on the computer and started the sound board program, but all the links to the audio files within the program weren't pointing to the right place! I couldn't figure out what happened. THERE WAS NO SOUND!! Gabe, the stage manager poked around and realized that the links were pointing to a main folder, but all the tracks were in a sub-folder. And for some reason, the program wouldn't let us relink to the sub-folder. So Gabe just copied all the tracks from the sub-folder and pasted them into the main folder and it all worked. Whew...disaster averted!! :D

Thanks good disaster was averted!

I love skating but I don't watch it anymore. I used to record it and watch while Keith was travelling for work or while I was on the treadmill. Keith doesn't travel without me anymore and we no longer have a treadmill.

You should watch it. It's really great!

Btw are you guys annoyed with NBC yet? I noticed they were not showing any events today live. And the figure skating that was on this morning is only on late tonight? How do they get away with showing things this way?

They have the exclusive US contracts, so they can do whatever they darn well please.

Well, we have had our first snow storm of the winter. It came up from Portland from the south, so it is kind of an unusual storm. We have probably got about three inches, so far, but the farther south the more snow. So I hope George doesn't have too long a drive home from the theater tonight, because they have more snow than we have.

Fortunately I was at work when the snow started today...and I only live about a mile from where I work...and it's completely flat, so it's all good. :D

Back from making chili with folks from church. A couple of bottles of red zinfandel were consumed.

Glad I didn't go to your church. In my drinking days, church was the only place I stayed sober.

This Bernese Mountain Dog is behaving exactly as Sherlock would have. Keith and I laughed through this video.

And speaking of Bernese Mountain Dogs, last night at the cast party, a group of us were talking and the conversation meandered to dogs (the host and his husband who play Eeyore and Owl, respectively, have a large, super gentle Akita) and someone mentioned that he was thinking about getting a Bernese. I said that I know someone who has had Bernese Mountain Dogs and loved them (that would be YOU, Jane :D).
