Morning, everybody! Sorry for the recent errancy & truant-ness. Been a wee bit busy lately.

TOD: Always looked forward to Passover as a child, a bit less as an adult. No real problems with any holidays.

Good morning, all! I finished watching the extras on THE VAMPIRE LOVERS shortly before 11:00pm, but I was still wide awake around 12:30am. At some point after that, I finally fell asleep. The alarm at 7:15 was far too early, so I stayed in bed and fretted away some time before I finally decided to get out of bed. I've got physical therapy at noon today, and i am looking forward to getting out and about after three days of being stuck indoors.

When i get home, I have things to accomplish here on the telephone and at my desk. It's going to be busier than I'd like.

Thank you all for the vibes for my family. Things are not going well on too many levels in Ohio, from business to family, and Randy is carrying the burden of it. The Macbeths continue to show more of their true characters.  I now believe I was wrong in 2006 to assume their ugliness and bad behavior was a personal attack. I think they behave badly and cruelly toward anyone who threatens their sense of entitlement or unethical behavior.

I'm leaving early tomorrow afternoon for a weekend on Long Island. A daughter of a high school friend of Anthony's is performing in a high school production of Hairspray so we will go out for a short visit and see the show. We will also go to dinner at Olive Garden (a favorite of Anthony's parents).

TOD: I always enjoyed Easter. Great music at church, a basket of candy (I never cared for hard-boiled eggs as a kid, so the eggs weren't a big deal), and a good meal. We didn't have spring break in grade school as a kid, but we did have Good Friday off, so it was a longer weekend than most.

As much as I wanted to like Christmas, the family always intervened. The stress would get too much for some members, so it was a trying time. I enjoy it much more now that I'm on my own.

Good morning, all, a little late.

Been sitting here ketchuping on a couple of things, and the first cup of coffee is so far behind me it seems like yesterday.  So I shall now go downstairs and brew another K-cup.  For all of those interested in following along (and let's face it, I know that includes most of you), I have a few days to go on this supply of Newman's Own Special Blend, and when I replenish I'm going to go back to the Starbucks that I really enjoyed before it.

Thursday.  I gave my sister Molly her early birthday present, a nice tablet computer with a keyboard like the one I bought myself - only hers has a lavender case.  She likes it very much and played on it all afternoon.

We also went to Goodwill, where I found a print or drawing of a shi-tzu that looks just like Precious, so I bought it to hang on the wall....very nice....price was nice, too.

Larry, sorry to hear about your ugly family machinations. My family is kind of crazy but I'm thankful that we don't have the nasty things you have to deal with.

My dad's company was sold to Randy and Macbeth in the 1980s and it's going under. Everything will be auctioned off in May. I'm sorry this has happened, but I've seen it coming for some time, and Randy, much like me, was never a businessman.  This happens to many family businesses, and soon my dad's company will be one more forgotten company in Middletown, OH. The news would kill my dad, so I'm glad he's dead.

Now that this has happened, the Macbeths, who regarded the company as their personal bank account before retirement two-three years ago, want to insure that they get their "fair" share of the sale, and every day Lady M, who's like a dog with a bone when it comes to things she wants, is stirring up trouble. She wants to know how much I owe the company so she can come after me, and I have great news for the bitch: nothing!

Count on it.  People like that don't shut up and go away.  They don't even have the courtesy to die.  The only known remedy is as illustrated in THE VAMPIRE LOVERS.  The stake and the sword, liberally applied.

She's looking into payments on the Ohio property, which may be in jeopardy with this company's folding, and it's a major concern of mine. I'm worried that it may be tied up in the business venture as collateral since all decisions on it are run by the two-thirds majority with no concern for my input. If the Macbeths hadn't been so greedy in 2007 and so opposed to anything I suggested, we might have sold it by now.

Even though Lady M was keeping a tight grip on the company's books while the official company office was Chez Macbeth before 2012, she knew full well that I was paying my third of the Ohio property taxes myself and that the company wasn't paying them for me. It does make me wonder about what personal items the company was covering for them.

From DR Ginny:
Quote
I got $6.09 from Amazon and Richard got $12.18.  Guess that means he bought twice as many eBooks as I did!

Or twice as many best sellers than you did.

I was reading reviews of a book the other day and there were multiple one stars vs 4 & 5 star ratings.  When I glanced at the 1 star ratings the people hadn't actually read the book because the price was so outrageous.  I didn't think it was nice to give it any stars if they hadn't read the book though it must have worked.  The price of the book has been drastically reduced.

I have always LOVED Christmas.  And I pretty much enjoyed Easter as well, even after the Easter Bunny stopped visiting me.  I was a bit put off by the annual shopping for new clothes just prior to Easter, but I've never enjoyed clothes shopping.

When I was with NATO in Italy, it was my sincere joy and delight that the month of December (and into early January) was a smorgasboard of international holidays....American, Italian, Greek and British holidays were shared by all of us in December.  The NATO Christmas tree would be lit by December 9th....and from then until New Year's Day, we worked at 50% manning (our bosses could arrange that any way they wanted...half-days or full days on/off).  Plus the holidays would appear out of nowhere.  I found myself with way too much time on my hands during Decembers in 1987 and 88.  Too much time to shop and decorate.  It was fun, but a bit too much, as well, since I had no family to share time with.

Hmm...that's notated weirdly.  To me, that first eighth-note ("Good") should be a pick-up and the first quarter note ("mor-") should be the downbeat of the next measure.  It's an eighth-note off.

But, good morning to you, too, Singdaw!

As a kid, I don't recall being overly excited about any religious holiday...except that on Christmas you got presents.

Me, either...except maybe Easter because of the chocolate and coloring the eggs. 

Also, I don't think that I dreaded any religious holidays.  I probably just ignored those. ;)

Vibes for a great flight and a wonderful dinner tonight, DR Ginny.

I may have to go back to that later today. C. Jackson's version of "Joey, Joey, Joey" may be the best I've ever heard.

I really enjoyed Cheyenne's version.  I do still love, love, LOVE (that's three loves) Liz Callaway's version, though. :D

I don't know if the Ohio property is tied up in the business megillah, but all concerns about the property are my brothers' two-thirds majority rule. The Macbeths call the shots and Randy capitulates  because it's easier on his emotional state to let them push him around. While it's infuriating to me, I'm 500 miles away and have no say. I honestly think the property is safe because it's worth too much for the Macbeths to lose it.

Lady M will continue to look for other places in the Moore structure to glut her greed; I may be off the hook with the property taxes, but I'm certain the old bitch is pondering other possible methods to get something out of me before it's over. I just want her dead.

I had a follow-up visit with my oncologist yesterday.  Everything seemed okay save for the blood work results which were pending.  Well, I was able to see them online this morning along with a note from the doctor.  She told me that she is concerned that my white blood cells have not yet reached the low end of normal range.  Because of that, I had to move my next appointment from late May to late April and to have more blood work in 2 weeks.  If my white blood cells are still low in that CBC, I will likely undergo a bone marrow biopsy (I've lost count how many I've had all this past year and they don't get any easier with experience).  My oncologist knows that the chemotherapy was intense and really knocked the heck out of my bone marrow.  I'm just worried if the marrow doesn't improve and/or there is a relapse of the lymphoma, I would then need to have a marrow transplant.  That scares me very much because that is the ultimate that can be done.  My thoughts race ahead of me and I know I have the tendency to think doom and gloom.  Sometimes it is difficult to put on a happy face, to borrow a phrase.

That is great news. I wouldn't put it past her, though, to try to trump up some evidence otherwise.     ???

Count on it.  People like that don't shut up and go away.  They don't even have the courtesy to die. 

Sometimes they do die and sadly their sister doesn't cry at the funeral.

I have no knowledge of back story here, but {{{{{HUGS}}}} seem to be appropriate.

I have always LOVED Christmas.  And I pretty much enjoyed Easter as well, even after the Easter Bunny stopped visiting me.  I was a bit put off by the annual shopping for new clothes just prior to Easter, but I've never enjoyed clothes shopping.

When I was with NATO in Italy, it was my sincere joy and delight that the month of December (and into early January) was a smorgasboard of international holidays....

It sounds like fun as well as interesting.

To answer your question from yesterday, DR Jane, we had a couple of inches of snow the other day and there's still some on the grass since it's been so cold.   There's a lot of rain expected on the weekend so I'm sure the snow will be gone soon.

Do any of you DRs know this movie?  It's Theodore J. Flicker's "The Troublemaker" which was written by Buck Henry and starred Tom Aldredge, Joan Darling, Buck Henry, James Frawley and the inimitable Godfrey Cambridge (who was great in "Bye, Bye Braverman").  I would love LOVE a DVD copy of it!  The last time I saw it must have been 20+ years ago after I became a big fan of "The President's Analyst".

Thursday.  I gave my sister Molly her early birthday present, a nice tablet computer with a keyboard like the one I bought myself - only hers has a lavender case.  She likes it very much and played on it all afternoon.

We also went to Goodwill, where I found a print or drawing of a shi-tzu that looks just like Precious, so I bought it to hang on the wall....very nice....price was nice, too.

So far, so fun, DR Vixmom!  We got a call about 7 hours ago from Kathy (sister-in-law) who said, "We're at Reading Terminal Market and it's fabulous!  Get yourselves in a taxi and get over here!"  We left so abruptly I forgot to log out.  We closed that place down at 6, chilled in the lobby of the hotel where her family is staying, then headed to dinner at an outstanding Italian place.  There we finally got to meet the bride, who is lovely and very poised meeting more and more of the extended family she's marrying into.  Much wine was consumed and there was a lot of lively conversation.  And we are exhausted!

I always looked forward to Christmas.

The big decision I made this week is that I am going to move my office into my current library/conference room and make my current office the conference room.  Since Bob has been in the office we've noticed that sound travels in really weird ways.  I can hear him and he can hear me very very well. It's loud enough that it's a distraction.  And we've noticed that you can hear what we say in the lobby unless we keep our doors shut all the time.   SO, if I move to the conference room, I can't hear him and he can't hear me. Plus we are getting a door to put on the open doorway to the lobby.  My lease is up in January and if this doesn't work, we have a real problem staying in the space.   I really believe this will solve the problems. And I'll have a really cool office and the conference room will be a bright sunny place.  Win Win

I'm enjoying the singing on some of the Sondheimas, but the religiosity doesn't strike me as very funny, just tired.

I had a follow-up visit with my oncologist yesterday.  Everything seemed okay save for the blood work results which were pending.  Well, I was able to see them online this morning along with a note from the doctor.  She told me that she is concerned that my white blood cells have not yet reached the low end of normal range.  Because of that, I had to move my next appointment from late May to late April and to have more blood work in 2 weeks.  If my white blood cells are still low in that CBC, I will likely undergo a bone marrow biopsy (I've lost count how many I've had all this past year and they don't get any easier with experience).  My oncologist knows that the chemotherapy was intense and really knocked the heck out of my bone marrow.  I'm just worried if the marrow doesn't improve and/or there is a relapse of the lymphoma, I would then need to have a marrow transplant.  That scares me very much because that is the ultimate that can be done.  My thoughts race ahead of me and I know I have the tendency to think doom and gloom.  Sometimes it is difficult to put on a happy face, to borrow a phrase.

DR Dan M, I understand the difficulty of putting on a happy face.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Back from the touring company of The Gershwin's Porgy & Bess.  It was OK.  I assume it was a fairly accurate rendition of the production that recently played on Broadway. The singing was uniformly good. Even though I have never seen another staged production, though, I kept feeling that everything was "cut down." I have to check the program to see how many musicians were in the orchestra, but it sounded thin. The chorus was reduced to about 12 singing actors. The re-written book seemed a bit thin, and I know material was cut, as the entire show with intermission was 2.5 hours. So I will have to seek out a complete recording to get a better sense of the piece as the Gershwins wrote it.

I'm and newbie and lurker but I have to post on this one!

LOVED Purim because of those funny triangle shaped Hamantaschen cookies, even though Grandma's were dry as dirt.  Canter's had yummy ones.  Kids could whoop it up in temple with gregors (noisemakers), shout and generally be very badly behaved.   LOVE/d Christmas for the syrupy songs and the Tree, and Easter for the painted eggs and strange gigantic rabbit.
Disliked Yom Kippur because services seemed endless, and what kid had sinned enough to warrant that?

The big decision I made this week is that I am going to move my office into my current library/conference room and make my current office the conference room.  Since Bob has been in the office we've noticed that sound travels in really weird ways.  I can hear him and he can hear me very very well. It's loud enough that it's a distraction.  And we've noticed that you can hear what we say in the lobby unless we keep our doors shut all the time.   SO, if I move to the conference room, I can't hear him and he can't hear me. Plus we are getting a door to put on the open doorway to the lobby.  My lease is up in January and if this doesn't work, we have a real problem staying in the space.   I really believe this will solve the problems. And I'll have a really cool office and the conference room will be a bright sunny place.  Win Win

Sounds like you thought of a great situation!  Congrats, Cillaliz!

I must go to sleep now.  I have to go to work early so that I can leave work early.  Tomorrow night, I'm ushering for a local production of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (http://www.harlequinproductions.org/season/2014/cat.php)."  Everyone that I've talked to who has seen it, says it's wonderful...but very long.  It starts at 8:00 pm, but I'd heard that the second (of three) acts doesn't end until 10:30!  Then they have the second intermission, and THEN the third act.  Does that sound right?  I'd only seen the first two acts the only time that I'd gone to London.  We bought these on a whim that afternoon, but had tickets to something else, so we left "Cat" early to get to our other (planned) show.  That was in 2001, so I barely remember seeing the show.  I do remember that Brendan Fraser was gorgeous and that Ned Beatty as Big Daddy was incredible.  Frances O'Connor was Maggie, and she was very good, too.
