Good morning, all! I'm happy to hear that the tempest on Long Island yesterday did not prevent DR Ben's and Anthony's departure this morning.
I will shortly head down to Toyland and schlep home some books and programs or CDs. I will spend some of the weekend putting the CDs back to their original home and wrestling books and the ladder. I need about 18 more feet of bookcases.
Yesterday, I had meant to finish up a Moross project and take a serious look at the existing materials for the Rodgers & Hart show Chee-Chee, but the day got eaten up with more New World Records Roberta requests - a promo blurb, photo decisions, and a discussion of the unreleased 2001-2002 McGlinn recordings of Kern and Herbert and the foundation that funded them. So, my curiosity running, I contacted the foundation and had a short spurt of messaging with the person now on that project. Who knows?
DR vixmom, I am happy to know you are okay, but I'm very sorry you have to deal again with a flooded basement and roads.
I think that's my news. More from Toyland.
Greetings from Toyland!
The physical therapy problems are resolved and i have an appointment tomorrow morning. I was going to go up tmorrow to say goodbye to my beloved Morgan, whom I credit for keeping me going and now walking. On Sunday she and her husband relocate to Laredo, and, while i wish them much happiness and success, it tears outr my heart to lose her.

Laredo? Not exactly the safest town on the planet. Safer than Nuevo Laredo, just across the border.
POLYESTER is the first (only?) smelly film I've been to, and yes, a couple of the odors were a bit much, if not perfectly authentic.
I have the Criterion laserdisc with the full size replica of the original scratch and sniff card, and it still works just fine!

I do love the scene where Divine and Edith sit down to commiserate about men over a slice of cake. The way Divine slices it is to cut the cake in half and go to town.
TOD:
Probably the TV series HOT L BALTIMORE, although at the time I did not know what 'gay' was, so it all went over my head. 3s COMPANY or SOAP might be the first tv shows where I knew what was what.

I cannot imagine there was ever a time that you didn't know what was what.
Here is a remastered trailer for Holiday In Spain presented in "Smilebox"

Honest. I was a pretty naive child. I didn't even know how babies were made until I was in 6th grade....much to the amusement of just about every other 6th grader in my school.

Once you grasped the facts, what was your initial reaction?
Root canal is accomplished. It wasn't too unpleasant. Thanks, all, for the vibes! :)

well the basement is nearly dry I feel as if I have laundered hundreds upon hundreds of towels.... the two loads are respectively in the washer and dryer
Yesterday was my parents' 59th wedding anniversary
we took a break from the basement bailing to go to dinner at the Miller's Ale House down the road as they have a steamed lobster special on Wednesday's and that is my folks' favorite (the roads in my neck of the woods were clear by last night)
The meal was fun and good and then I came back to more basement cleaning

Thursday afternoon greetings! Richard and I were up and out early (for us) for him to have X-rays and an EMG to find the cause of the numbness and tingling he's been having in his right hand. The doctor who performed the EMG suspects carpal tunnel syndrome and we're awaiting confirmation from our family doctor. Richard's fine and is now in the backyard supervising the removal of yet another tree :-\
TOD: The first I recall was on ALL IN THE FAMILY.I also remember ..."A Different Story" with Perry King and Meg Foster, which I HATED...mainly because the gay man and the lesbian fell in love with each other...how could they do that?? I don't know how I'd feel about it now, though. ::)

Thanks, DR George! I also had this morning an interesting phone conversation with the dean of the School of Fine Arts at Miami University about some possibilities.

A residency, perhaps?
By the way, DR Elmore, it's now the College of Creative Arts - rebranding is rampant!
The old ladies to our south and west just b&$@h about everything.

I received a friend request today at Classmates.com from someone I don't know, never heard of and who doesn't appear to have been anywhere in the world at the same time I was there. How, I wonder, did he happen upon me?
TOD: The first I recall was on ALL IN THE FAMILY.
Edith's cousin's funeral was one of the earliest mentions that I can recall, and one that I knew what it meant.
I also remember "Making Love" with Michael Ontkean and Harry Hamlin (which I loved), and "A Different Story" with Perry King and Meg Foster, which I HATED...mainly because the gay man and the lesbian fell in love with each other...how could they do that?? I don't know how I'd feel about it now, though. ::)

Suggested friend? I find people I don't know being suggested as friends all the time. Those and snooty little brats who never spoke to me in high school.

Wish I had something intelligent or even brilliant to say.

Had two good meetings - for lunch I had a cup of soup and a pastrami sandwich that was pretty rancid.

Much like Keith's symptoms only with a different cause. I hope it can be treated without surgery.
Actually I have had similar problems, long before Keith did, that I have not found the cause. Maybe I should look for it again.

This morning's doc thought surgery would be recommended, but we'll see what our family doctor says. He'll probably make a referral to a specialist.

FB used to offer a box where you could send a comment along with your friend request, but unless I am missing it, they no longer do. That is a change for the worse, in my humble opinion.

When I had carpal tunnel syndrome around 1983, i wore a wrist brace and had steroid injections,
DR John I have never heard of that cure for carpal tunnel. 8)

A Broadway ballad for a baritone. Surely we can come up with some suggestions...
Sometimes A Day Goes By
No. But because it was workers comp, I either signed or they performed surgery.

Just spent the last 90 minutes interviewing Luca Della Casa. Now he's feeding me. There are worse things in life.

we do not--- all water removal is done with a wet dry vac which I empty into the washer

That's because Vixdad is not the one mopping it up with towels.
I still say Benedict Cumberbatch sounds like a character from Harry Potter.
Tonight is the finale of "Last Comic Standing." There have been some very good comics this season. I have an idea of who I think will probably win, but actually, I would prefer either of the other two to win. The one guy is very good...they're all very good...but I just like the other two a little better. We'll see how it all ends up!
