Good morning, all! In an hour, I shall bus dwn to my HMO and hopefully get the correct flu shot for us older coots. I will return here, continue the work on Paint Your Wagon and see how far I get. Around 1:00, the Time Warner technician will show up to investigate my internet problems.

Joshie informed me yesterday that he needs me next week to help him prepare for the Encores! Gala so I'd like to get as far as I can over the weekend with PYW before I switch jobs.  I'm grateful for the work since it will help me catch up financially to August.  Yesterday, I finished off the last frozen vegetables in my freezer.

Good morning, all.

At least I hope so.  I was allergy-sneezing yesterday afternoon and evening, and took Benadryl to ensure a decent sleep.  Still sniffly this morning, so I'll take all the vibes I can get that this isn't a cold, since there really couldn't be a worse time for one.

For now,

I got to my HMO at 8:50, waited 10 minutes, got my flu shot, caught a bus and stopped at the market, all in less than an hour.

I think it was two years ago after the shot that I thought I was getting sick with the flu;  that's never happened before or since. I hope the good luck continues.

And to work.

And breakfast.

TOD:

The Oriental House in Louisville, Ky. It's up the street from my folks and it was owned by different people 40 years ago. Back then, we never ate out, except on a rare occasion and it was almost always at the Oriental House. The food was better then, but it's OK now. My folks still eat there regularly. I'm sure I'll eat there at least once over Christmas, but no shark fin soup any more, the lobster sauce is no longer made from lobster shells, ...

Well, I just got a call from the auto shop and they could find NOTHING wrong with my car!  They pressure tested the radiator and looked at all the belts and fluids and nothing seemed amiss.  So, it'll only be $49+tax, which is great, but what the heck happened when it all actually happened? ???

Yes...well, the oil was low, but it certainly wasn't bone dry.  The dipstick registered at the low end of the range, but it still showed oil. :)

I've been watching the 2nd season of CHEYENNE.

What amuses me is how the studio was able to get away with using stock footage from old movies and obvious phony backdrops in these mid-1950s black-and-white shows when we all had TV sets that were 14-19 inches.

I have a 50" set now, and that that is definitely Joel McCrea riding across my screen...not Clint Walker.

Doug Haverty really wants to include the lyrics to my songs in the Sandy booklet, so I'd already gotten him nine a few weeks ago, those I'd done for the guy who did the lead sheets.  So I had to do the remaining six, so that's what I've been doing.  So, now I must wait for dinner, which I wish were happening sooner.  Maybe I'll go get a cup of soup to tide me over.

I don't care about being mentioned.  I want the recording to sell. Suskin has not given me one review that would sell a recording; he's usually just condescending when he's not downright hostile and to busy letting the reader know how informed he is about everything but music.

This is unbelievable.

My gardener was here today and he threw out the bait box that we put in the back yard on Monday that has already killed 3 rodents.

I will be deducting the cost of the box from his bill.

Where did he throw it?  Maybe it can be retrieved.

The body of Seattle actress,Misty Upham, was found late this afternoon.  She had disappeared almost two weeks ago after a family dispute.  She appeared in the films AUGUST, OSAGE COUNTY and DJANGO UNCHAINED.

My problem with 1941 is John Belushi.  When this movie was made the whole world thought Belushi could do no wrong.  But he can.  And he did.  He must have been high as a kite the whole time he was making this movie.

I would not make a very good vegitarian.  I had corn and poblano lasagna for dinner tonight.  I kept thinking how much better it would be with some chicken or ground beef added.

There are vegetarian foods that can be added to give the texture of meat or chicken.

The texture of meat isn't meat.  I couldn't be a vegetarian

We have GODZILLA to watch.  It came from Netflix and in spite of being told we needed to update our software to watch newer movies, it works just fine.  Keith did check the software & it was up to date & the fact Godzilla works fine proves the problem with the other DVD was not ours.

Thursday morning greetings!  MORE rain here in SW Ohio  :P

I'm trying to track down a notary this morning for the signing of the lease on a new book sale site for AAUW.  The one the book sale chairs had lined up backed out late last evening.  Time is of the essence because the signing is scheduled for noon.  Pray for Rosemary's baby...

I'm a notary, but that doesn't help you much. good luck

Thanks, DR Cillaliz, we worked it out and everything went smoothly.

I wondered if you were a notary and Vixmom, too.  My sister is, but she's in Michigan.

Well, I just got a call from the auto shop and they could find NOTHING wrong with my car!  They pressure tested the radiator and looked at all the belts and fluids and nothing seemed amiss.  So, it'll only be $49+tax, which is great, but what the heck happened when it all actually happened? ???

my guess is that there was a oil spill on the engine block

Had to take Callie to the vet.  She has arthritis and that's why she's in pain.   They don't have real pain pills for cats.  I have some the vet gave me but you can only use them for 3 days, so I'm going to save them until she has a bad day

Congratulations on the review, DR elmore3003!

Thanks! It's better than Suskin's.


Not for me...he doesn't mention you once.  It's apparently all original, Berman OR something out of the void.


I don't care about being mentioned.  I want the recording to sell. Suskin has not given me one review that would sell a recording; he's usually just condescending when he's not downright hostile and to busy letting the reader know how informed he is about everything but music.

Well I am quite enjoying it

I sometimes wonder what it is that these people are listening to. I agree that Jason Graae is the best thing about Roberta. He seems to be channeling Bob Hope in a way that's really eerie. He's also wonderful on And the World Goes Round. But he is not the sole delight of either album. He fits in with the ensembles. The music is the real star of both, and the reason both were made.
