Well, you've read the notes, the notes had plenty of discernible cheese, and now it is time for you to post until the cheesy cows come home.
-
Hey! Yesterday's day is still open! :D
-
Topic of the Day: England...mainly because they speak English there, and it's close to Germany where my mom is from and I could visit them more often than now, which is never. The last time I was in Germany was when I was seven years old. My dad was in the army and stationed there.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Good morning, fellow DRs.
-
TOD:
That would have to be England (along with DR George) because of their cathedrals and their unique choral tradition.
-
~ ~ ~ CONTINUED ULTRA-STRENGTH POSITIVE VIBES ~ ~ ~ for bk in his meeting this morning!!!
-
I, for one, will be mostly absent this morning. I have a 7:00am service appointment at the car dealership for routine maintenance, and they don't have "loaners," so I shall be taking my Kindle and waiting. No telling how long it may take.
-
Good morning, all.
Oy. Another busy one here, so I shall be off and about, too, starting in a while.
-
Strongest successful meeting vibes for BK!
-
DR Mike, sorry you didn't get the results you wanted. Does that mean surgery on the knee?
-
I'm wondering what's up with these omelets in which the cheese must be discerned, as opposed to getting blatantly displayed for all the world to see.
Is there an asterisk on the word cheese, with the word "discernible" appearing in very small type at the bottom? Is the word "discernible" discernible?
-
Good morning, all! I must head out and get myself to Toyland. I want to pick up some scores and things to tote home, look for a few programs, and scan more of the JUBILEE score.
I'll check in from there.
-
Meeting vibes for BK!
-
I'm sleeping in on Saturday. I thought you should know.
-
TOD:
I don't think I'd want to live in a country other than the United States.
However, if I had a time machine, I would opt to live in the US of 50-60 years ago when the Government was not so intrusive in individuals' lives and did not stifle opportunities to get ahead.
-
Good morning, all.
Mega-vibes for DR Mike.
-
Slept very well with the new bipap machine and the nasal pillows as opposed to a mask.
-
TOD: Southern Portugal would probably be at the top of my list. I find the Portuguese language easy to pick up, plus there are so many retired Brits there that English is never too far away. But the Atlantic coast is just beautiful, the living isn't too fast paced (I was there in the off season, my mind may change if I were there in summer), the food is extraordinary, and the people are helpful and respectful without being phony.
Other places under consideration: the isle of Rhodes, Brazil, Spain's Costa del Sol ... yes, I like coastal places.
-
Knee vibes for DR Mike!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Meeting vibes for BK.
-
Good morning to all
-
Thursday morning greetings! The plumbers are on their way to install the wet bar in Rob and Mary Linda's living/dining room!
-
DR Mike, sorry to hear the report on your knee...
-
Tomorrow I see the orthopedic surgeon to see what has to be done on my knee
According to the MRI results:
1) Tear involving the posterior horn of the medial meniscus (i'll never play music again)
2) Intrasubstance injury involving the lateral meniscus
3) Joint effusion
-
And then finally getting the MRI on the shoulder hopefully today or tomorrow.
-
This is not a lot of fun.
-
I think I would like to move to a country with socialized medicine. Maybe back to Canada.
-
TOD: Easy one -- England, preferably London. Language, history, theatre. I lived there for three months in the early eighties. and I've been back to visit it close to twenty times over the years. I immediately feel I'm home once I'm there.
-
Greetings from Toyland! There should be an MTA ruling if you are bigger than a house, need to take up two seats for your largesse and your tote bag since you have no lap and won't store it under your seat, and you insist - because you are a really fat slob - to infringe on the third seat so the old coot next to you is uncomfortable, then you should pay for two effin seats. Or die.
-
TOD - I'll take England, too.
-
I'm up, I'm up. Must shave and shower and then be on my way to the meeting.
-
TOD:
Japan during the spring and summer, India during the fall and winter
-
I am back. The car maintenance took much less time and MUCH less money than I had anticipated. :)
-
I will be thinking of you especially, bk, over the next several hours.
-
I have secured tickets fourth row center for the opening of the new Ordway Recital Hall in downtown St. Paul next March. I know two of the featured singers. DR Jrand63, one of them sang the role of Kitty in Dr. Atomic at the Met.
In the photo below, the part on the left is what stands there now. The part on the right is now under construction, and eventually will blend seamlessly in. They both look out on Rice Park, the location of the ice sculptures that I posted photos of during the Winter Carnival.

Good morning.
TOD: I do not want to live outside the US. In fact, I do not want to live outside Arizona. I love Arizona, even in the summer.

Story of the day
Tired of being broke and stuck in an unhappy marriage, a young husband decided to solve both problems by taking out a large insurance policy on his wife and arranging to have her killed.
A "friend of a friend" put him in touch with a nefarious underworld figure, who went by the name of "Artie." Artie explained to the husband that his going price for snuffing out a spouse was $5,000. The husband said he was willing to pay that amount, but that he wouldn't have any cash on hand until he could collect his wife's insurance money.
Artie insisted on being paid in part up front. The man opened up his wallet and displayed the single dollar bill that rested inside. Artie sighed, rolled his eyes, and reluctantly agreed to accept the dollar as down payment for the dirty deed.
A few days later, Artie followed the man's wife to the local Safeway grocery store. There, he surprised her in the produce department and proceeded to strangle her with his gloved hands. As the poor unsuspecting woman drew her last breath and slumped to the floor, the manager of the produce department stumbled unexpectedly onto the scene. Unwilling to leave any witnesses behind, Artie had no choice but to strangle the produce manager as well.
Unknown to Artie, the entire proceeding were captured by hidden cameras and observed by the store's security guard, who immediately called the police. Artie was caught and arrested before he could leave the store.
Under intense questioning at the police station, Artie revealed the sordid plan, including his financial arrangements with the hapless husband.
And that is why, the next day in the newspaper, the headline declared: "Artie chokes two for a dollar at Publix"
-
There is no word of the day.
So how is DR Arnold Brockman going to choose a song?
-
Funny one, Mike.
-
There is no word of the day.
So how is DR Arnold Brockman going to choose a song?
And That's The Question Of The Day
-
Mike-
I Hope The Testing Goes Well
-
I hope that bk will choose a WORD OF THE DAY once he returns from his meeting.
We don't want to break an almost 10-year record.
-
Meeting vibes for MR BK.
Continued vibes for DR MIKE.

Oh DR SINGDAW.....she was fantastic in Doctor Atomic.
I liked that show so much, after I bought the DVD, it came out on BluRay, so I bought that, too.
I have another version of it from Scandinavia that has much different choreography, but the one that was on PBS is still my favorite.
Highly recommended by the likes of me.....
-
TOD:
London.....with a house in Rome for weekends.....
-
I took some photos to make a slideshow for the lobby for LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, and I took a few photos during the rehearsal so I would have something to meet the deadline for the weeklies. Here is the best of them.....Seymour and Audrey - she isn't wearing her blonde wig.

A great time: HUAC, blacklisting, the iron curtain, segregation, J. Edgar Hoover, Jimmy Hoffa, and Lawrence Welk. At least back then the GOP could walk and chew gum at the same time. Although they did take the gum out their mouths to call any liberal thinker a pinko, commie tool.
-
And now, a trip to the bus.
-
No word of the day. The chain is broken. What next? A column that starts, "Hell, Dear Readers"?
-
TOD:
Tough question. I'm torn. There are strong reasons for me to select England, and there are strong reasons for me to select Italy.
However, I'm going to say Greece. I love the country, the weather, the food, the history, the architecture, the devotion to its past and its struggles toward its future.
-
I am back. The car maintenance took much less time and MUCH less money than I had anticipated. :)
Said nobody ever. That is great news!

The first Into the Woods trailer...

Thanks, DR Jennifer! I was certainly pleasantly surprised!
-
I'm afraid to click on that link. I just saw Meryl Streep in the preview for some dystopian movie, and she looks like a deranged Cher impersonator......

I was going to post that. Looks darker than I had thought. And definitely does not play up the fact that it is a musical.

Oh, what the heck!

Let us hope that Page 3 doesn't last long. :)

And The Song Of The Day Is: NOTHING
-
I've still not commented on yesterday's TOD, so here it is:
Fig Newtons. I will eat them if they are around. I prefer the fruit flavored varieties, however. Especially cherry!
The thing is, and this goes for a lot of prepackaged cookies, I just don't always feel as if I am eating something that is actually a food product.
-
My sister and I are working to get my mom configured to move back to Medford to an assisted living center. Mom wants to go back, and my sister wants her to go back 8) !
My brothers in Medford, however, are not eager for her to move back.
-
It's on you and your sister, it seems.
-
Topic of the Day: England...mainly because they speak English there, and it's close to Germany where my mom is from and I could visit them more often than now, which is never. The last time I was in Germany was when I was seven years old. My dad was in the army and stationed there.
TOD:
That would have to be England (along with DR George) because of their cathedrals and their unique choral tradition.
Actually, the real reason for England for me would be because of all the theater theatre that they do...and that they speak English...not just because they speak English. :)
-
Well, it turns out that my meeting this morning was cancelled. My rep e-mailed me, saying that he had a broken tooth and would have to reschedule! That's a good reason to cancel a meeting. So, my morning just got a little lighter.
-
BK, here's hoping that you meeting goes better than expected!
-
Back from the meeting. It was, I suppose, interesting on some level. I said what I had to say, even though I was told we could come back for another meeting - I would actually prefer that not to happen, but since we were not provided something we should have been, we now have to look at that document and respond if we wish. The ineptitude is astonishing. But I did not want to leave before saying what I had to say. But there are things in this document that are so sickening and wrongheaded that, well, we will respond, but I think via letter rather than meeting.
-
to all the technophiles
I see that Samsung has released a 4K large screen TV that can make the screen curve at the touch of a button.
So I am wondering if you watched a TODD-AO (or any other) movie that was designed for a curved movie screen would you get a viewing similar to theater experience than watching it flat? (I know TV can never match the theatrical experience but this might be close)
I wonder how the "smile box version" of How The West Was Won would look on this TV
-
MRI for the shoulder tomorrow. Busy medical day
-
DR JRand63 will know: there's a full moon, right? There are a lot of lunatics out today, including me. But the really, really crazy ones seem to be out in full force. The buses are amazing.
-
And I am home and i just had some guacamole and chips. Deelish!

I must have been REALLY tired last night!

And the word of the day is: OROTUND!

No matter how annoying or not annoying the meeting was (it actually wasn't annoying at all - very even-keeled and professional at every turn), waking up to this e-mail this morning made me just know that I cannot let the BS get to me. This was sent from a friend of dear reader Ben's - he gave me permission to share it with you all:
"Our mutual friend, Ben McLaughlin, supplied me with your E-mail address so that I could write a fan letter to you.
Just yesterday, I finished reading the Benjamin Kritzer trilogy, with it's bittersweet ending, completing the joy ride I experienced with the entire series. Your characterization of the young protagonist was unique in his humor, way of thinking, and general outlook on life. His life experiences with books, film, plays and musicals all reflected his unique point of view. There has never been a finer hero in literature, for me at least. I especially enjoyed the larger than life characterizations of Minnie, Ernie, Jeffrey, the Gelfinbaums and several of Benjamin's teachers, all of whom comprise the wonderland that is Benjamin's life journey.
Benjamin's world was joyous. With the exception of several local establishments, theatres and schools, the Los Angeles locale might have been Brooklyn, NY, my hometown, with all the series' topical references. The read for me was one long smile.
Your writing was concise, descriptive and to the point. The trilogy was the first series that captivated my heart and imagination since I first read the Harry Potter series many years ago. Thanks for all the love and talent you put in your work.
Your fan,"
-
That's wonderful, BK.
-
Yes, my friend was very taken with the books. I was happy that he so thoroughly enjoyed them.
-
What a lovely email, BK!
-
I need a nap.
Some booze might be nice. If I had some.
-
I'm about to go home and take a nap.
-
Very cool on getting that new fan's e-mail, Bruce! It must have seemed a complete and delightful surprise!
-
I'm about to go home and take a nap.
Bye, Ben...
-
What a lovely email, BK!
Seconded.
-
I need a nap.
Some booze might be nice. If I had some.
This one's seconded, too. But I can't because I'm running off to a rehearsal.
Later, though...! :)

Bacall is in Dogville, but don''t let that fool you. The movie is Our Town on depressants.

Greetings from Toyland! There should be an MTA ruling if you are bigger than a house, need to take up two seats for your largesse and your tote bag since you have no lap and won't store it under your seat, and you insist - because you are a really fat slob - to infringe on the third seat so the old coot next to you is uncomfortable, then you should pay for two effin seats. Or die.
Don't hold back, Larry...tell us how you really feel.

This slob was big as a house, he was taking you two and a half seats, so his bag could occupy one seat and his grossly fat body the other one and a half. I was sitting in the half on the third sat, since this was the seating section for infirm, elderly, or maimed, and this fat slob made it completely impossible. He could have put his bag on the floor under hs seart and occupied that seat and a half giving me a full seat. So, as son as anther seat was empty on a very full bus, I was stuck there. The driver does nothing and this pig cared not in the least. Up yours, you fat pg.

For DR Jennifer:
(https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTTJ3B2S4gp4GePTFPWlwLaCsTzepsfbrpXKgplRjgJkS7kELrMcQ)
Charles M. Roser was a cookie maker born in Ohio. He won fame for creating the Fig Newton recipe before selling it to the Kennedy Biscuit Works (later called Nabisco).
A Fig Newton is a soft cookie filled with fig jam. A machine invented in 1891 made the mass production of Fig Newtons possible. James Henry Mitchell invented a machine which worked like a funnel within a funnel; the inside funnel supplied jam, while the outside funnel pumped out the dough, this produced an endless length of filled cookie, that was then cut into smaller pieces. The Kennedy Biscuit Works used Mitchell's invention to mass-produce the first Fig Newton Cookies in 1891.
Originally, the Fig Newton was just called the Newton. There is an old rumor that James Henry Mitchell, the funnel machine's inventor, named the cookies after that great physicist, Sir Isaac Newton, but that was just a rumor. The cookies were named after the Massachusetts town of Newton, which was close to Kennedy Biscuits. Kennedy Biscuits had a tradition of naming cookies and crackers after the surrounding towns near Boston. The name changed from Newton to Fig Newton, after the original fig jam inside the cookie gained good reviews. Later the name changed to Fig Newton Cookies.

We house hunted in Newton, MA but it was a bit pricey for us and we liked Acton better.
-
Last night our area had 500 lightening strikes out of 2,500 in total for the surrounding areas.
We saw several areas of smoke on the mountains today.
-
Last report, 12 fires were started from last night's storm. We might have a repeat tonight.
-
Tomorrow I see the orthopedic surgeon to see what has to be done on my knee
According to the MRI results:
1) Tear involving the posterior horn of the medial meniscus (i'll never play music again)
2) Intrasubstance injury involving the lateral meniscus
3) Joint effusion
Good luck tomorrow. Except for the joint effusion Keith had a similar diagnosis as this. He was scheduled for surgery before we moved here and, not liking the surgeon or wanting to deal with surgery before moving, he canceled. After we settled in he found an excellent doctor and again set a date for surgery.
We kept discussing that if he lost weight he might not need surgery. Again he canceled and went on a weight loss exercise program. 17 years later he still doesn't need surgery.
I am curious of why you have joint effusion and what can be done for it.
-
Again Keith is hoping to avoid surgery. This morning he saw a Physiatrist who ran a special test to determine the extent of the problem in his ulnar nerve. While not pleasant, it included zapping him with electricity, it wasn't too bad. The results were better than he expected and the doctor gave him a few exercises to try before he has surgery.

Correction:
The total now for fire starts in the last 2 days from lightning

Egad, DR Jane.
Last night, after the strikes above our heads, as the storm was moving away I read a notice for Ashland residents to be prepared (as in organizing a bag with essentials and important documents) for an evacuation notice. I admit we still haven't done so.

The first Into the Woods trailer...
http://video.disney.com/watch/disney-s-into-the-woods-trailer-4ff6e45bd3b3e7809be4d010
It won't let me watch it from Canada. But I did google and saw two movie trailers. One was very bizarre and had no actual people in it. The other was better and i'm assuming it's the one the link goes to. It shows a bit of the movie with a bunch of the actors. I cannot wait to see this movie. Although I don't really like going to the theatre so I may wait for dvd.
-
Nice review of the trilogy ,BK! I agree with Ben's friend!
-
TOD: I guess I'd go with England too. But maybe for a year.
-
I don't ever want to live outside the US. I'm very happy here in Iowa.
-
Me too Kevin.

What, Jennifer doesn't read the notes?
I'm glad you said this because i must not have read them yesterday. From the pictures I think I have seen them, but I still don't think I've ever eaten one. Maybe they are not very popular here?
-
Thanks BK and DR Jane for the pictures!
-
You are welcome. The photo Bruce put up was the packaging. I looked for a close up photo of the cookie for you.

Sitting in a restaurant with no AC. Not happy. But the charred carrots with miso and sesame are good.

I am off to my yoga class.

Today wasn't too bad a day. I started the day feeling a bit overwhelmed, but by the end of the day had gotten through a number of files. I figured out a system to organize and write out what I need to do. Clients have been pretty good about it when I say that my assistant quit and I'm there by myself and will get back to them.
-
I am very glad tomorrow is Friday. I've got to get some things ready for my neighbors garage sale on Saturday, then I decided to cancel my trip to see mom and dad on Sunday. I need to get the billing out and keep plugging away at the office. I think once I get through everything and know what I need to do I will feel better about everything. I have had several people tell me they have a friend or know someone who is looking for a job who is bilingual. I'm still giving it a couple weeks on my own. It may be a little more work, but training someone is more than I'm up to right now.
-
Well, I need to leave now. Animal Fire Theatre is putting on "Two Gentlemen of Verona" and they're performing in the park right across the street from my condo complex! I know most of the people in the cast, so I am going to see it. But I have to go home first and bring my own chair.
Be back later!

TOD Canada and England come to mind but those are the only countries I have ever been to unless you count a couple of hours in Nogales, Mexico - and I definitely don't want to live there

Tomorrow I see the orthopedic surgeon to see what has to be done on my knee
According to the MRI results:
1) Tear involving the posterior horn of the medial meniscus (i'll never play music again)
2) Intrasubstance injury involving the lateral meniscus
3) Joint effusion
Good luck tomorrow. Except for the joint effusion Keith had a similar diagnosis as this. He was scheduled for surgery before we moved here and, not liking the surgeon or wanting to deal with surgery before moving, he canceled. After we settled in he found an excellent doctor and again set a date for surgery.
We kept discussing that if he lost weight he might not need surgery. Again he canceled and went on a weight loss exercise program. 17 years later he still doesn't need surgery.
I am curious of why you have joint effusion and what can be done for it.
i have no idea how it happen or what cn be done. I will find out tomorrow I guess

I am off to bed. Thank you, DR vixmom; I should warn you: I never liked "The Honeymooners."

I have lots of family in England. I would like to spend time getting to know them. It is a beautiful country and easy to travel through Europe from there.

The $1.99 bin at the used CD/DVD store was overflowing with good stuff tonight. Found a Barbara Cook I didn't have, a Jay recording of The Merry Widow, a Bruckner mass, a three-CD Glen Campbell collection and a Lambert, Hendricks and Ross disc.

Let's not dawdle.

Six!

Had a wonderful second rehearsal, which, like the e-mail this morning, just reminds me that the world is a very positive place most of the time and I do my damnedest to be be positive in it.

This is just deranged, but the part 2 teased to in the clip is unhinged in the best way.

I gotta tell you.

BK that was a wonderful fan letter. I had a similar response to the Kritzer trilogy

I'm home and have eaten. "TGoV" was very good, and even though it was held outside, the weather was great and the actors could be heard. That's ALWAYS a good thing. There was some outside noise, but nothing horribly loud or obnoxious.

Listening to Ormandy have his way with the Mahler 10, the performing version by Derek Cooke. Never heard better and I have them all. I also watched the first part of a DVD that has Ormandy having his way with The Firebird and then the Rachmaninov Symphony 2 - the minute The Firebird began I remembered why I fell in love with his reading of it when I was but an early teen - it puts the Stravinsky-conducted version and that orchestra to shame. This DVD performance is from 1977 - that Philadelphia Orchestra sound is simply amazing and there's a lovely interview with Ormandy talking about his friendship with Rachmaninov.

And the word of the day is: OROTUND!
MOVIE OF THE DAY
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/20/FLower_Drum_Song_1961_poster.jpg)
It is a shame that so many articles regarding the passing of James Shigeta are headlined "DIE HARD ACTOR DIES." His career was so much more than his performance in that one movie. I truly enjoyed his work and I was deeply saddened by his passing.

What I learned this evening from my Roadrunner home page. My favorite pasta dish at The Cheesecake Factory, farfalle with chicken and roasted garlic clocks in at a whopping 2500 calories! I'm really not sure how that can be - how much cream sauce is there really? The chicken is nothing, its maybe 8 oz. of pasta - something's screwy somewhere.

I apologize for not posting much today. I did read the notes (of course) and I have read all the posts; but I have had kind of a depressing day. Oh well. tomorrow is another day.
