Well, you've read the notes, the notes were like a Chinese Box, always more notes, and now it is time for you to post until the Chinese cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PERNANCY!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Finally, the rain is gone.
-
At least that's what they say on NY1.
-
Good morning, all! When I woke at 4:30, I was dreaming about discussing with an employer a possible recording, I then lay awake far too long before I dozed back off and dreamed something about my goddaughter Charlotte, Jerry Orbach, and a cineplex.
This morning, i have therapy. When that's over, I will call Joshie to see if I am needed today at City Center. If not, I will send him an invoice, and accomplish some work here. I need to vacuum the apartment.
-
I am wondering if bk really meant to talk about November in the opening paragraph of today's notes??
-
I know I have read Writer's Block and Rewind, and remember the general gist of each, and that I enjoyed them both, but I could certainly benefit from re-reading them.

Last night, a small choral group that I participate in held an event at a new brewery in town. We sang a few pieces from our upcoming concert of Renaissance music, as well as some rowdy Elizabethan drinking songs. For the most part, the folks that showed up because they knew we would be there listened attentively, and the general patrons couldn't have cared less. But all in all, it was a unique and fun event. The brewery doesn't serve food, but there was an Italian food truck parked right outside. There was also a resident dog (belonging to one of the owners) who greeted everyone.

Good morning, all.
Coffee!
-
It's Friday. I checked. I even double-checked. And it's still Friday.
-
I'm on record as having been thrilled with the Chinese Box construction of Writer's Block, but when I went back to see what I'd said about it, I was amazed to be reminded that I'd read this one straight through in one evening. I look forward to a second reading, and I'm not just "saying that".
-
Good morning to all
-
I have a special spot for REWIND as I thought that one of the characters was sort of, kind of was based on me. But you will have to read the book to see what I am talking about.
NO SPOILERS
-
I have AMAZON PLUS for a month and have been seeing some old favorites and new ones. I have to make it through some of the new ones The worst so far was Inframan a Japanese film from 1975. I like cheesy Japanese special effects but the story was terrible. Too juvenile and from what I watched of it I think Mighty Morphin Power Rangers "borrowed" some concepts from this film.

THIS IS A BIT DISTURBING
This morning we were watching TV and, suddenly, an emergency message comes on line from The White House, changing the channel we were watching and not allowing us to change back to our channel until we turned off the set and turned it back on. This situation began about 45 minutes ago and is still going on. Indeed, even the sound is being cut off at times.
I spoke to Uverse and they confirm that this is, indeed, coming from The White House, but they are not aware of any national emergency.
Does anybody know what is going on?

TOD:
BEGIN AGAIN
THE ONE I LOVE
MAVERICK, Season 4

Morning in Maui:

No messages from the White House here.....but maybe Indiana doesn't have to know.
-
Nice notes today.....I enjoyed Writer's Block......
-
Good morning, all.
Great dog photo, Milkbone. He looks a little like Byron, a dog my brother-in-law used to have. One of the all-time great canine critters ever.
-
Since I don't watch TV anymore, I don't know if it's interrupted here in San Antonio or not.
-
TOD:
DVD: The Normal Heart -- if I have time to watch it.
CD: Renee Fleming's Christmas album, Roberta, And the World Goes Round
Car CD: The new Jan Karon novel, the name of which I can't remember.

I am home from therapy. We have a new therapist, Dipka, right out of college, and she's cute as a button. I like her. The staff is growing: Gurjeet, Jen, Bart, Luis, Lisa, Charles, Carl, and Dipka. I do miss Morgan.
Joshie says he does not need me at City Center, but I am on call, in case.
-
According to a report I just read, this was only on Uverse.
-
DR DRUXY the Ann Savage information would have been important to have in that documentary.....they barely talked to her at all.....and yes I liked the idea of them being in the car and being interviewed.....
-
There was also a resident dog (belonging to one of the owners) who greeted everyone.

The rain has stopped but the wind continues. We have lost power several times in the last couple of days. Don't be surprised is I'm not around.

One of my favorite lyricist is David Zippel who should do more musicals. One of my favorite singers of all time is Nancy LaMott. David Friedman is doing an indiegogo fundraiser for a restoration project to release a new CD of "Nancy LaMott Sings David Zippel". There are 10 days left (Ends November 2nd) and they have surpassed their goal. Take a look at what they want to do with this project and perhaps you will be willing to contribute. At one level David Friedeman and David Zippel will even write a song for you of your choice.

Thanks Cilla. It is annoying having to adjust the light every time I reopen the book, especially at night when I want it dimmed for Keith.
-
DR Cilla I am very sorry about your friend. Depression is a horrid decease.

I'm up, I'm up - nine hours of blessed sleep.

Nice DR DRUXY....did you interview Ms Savage?
-
Well, you've read the notes, the notes were like a Chinese Box, always more notes, and now it is time for you to post until the Chinese cows come home.
You said that the month of Novbember is winding down or winding up. What happened to October and Halloween?
-
A school shooting in Marysville, Washington this morning.
-
Send some excellent vibes and xylophones - there's some weird soreness in the very back of my throat - just a tinge and could be from sleeping weird, but I need it to go away NOW.
-
Friday afternoon greetings! Richard came through his carpal tunnel surgery just fine. He's had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, some chocolate frozen yogurt, and tea. I suspect he might crash soon.
-
Condolences to DR Cillaliz...

I've met her, but I did not interview her for the play.
As you know, if you've read my 2nd memoir, I used to live in the same apartment building as Barbara Payton.

Just before we left for the surgery center this morning, I discovered a casualty from yesterday. When I was transferring the frozen food from the old fridge to our stand-alone freezer, I used my rolling Ikea cart. Apparently, I overlooked the bottom shelf, where I'd put a partial bag of boneless chicken breasts. They'd thawed, of course, so I've thrown them out. If I'd discovered them last night, I could have cooked them and made chicken salad or something, but I thought 19 hours was too long...

Agave conference tonight. I think it's a fancy way of saying, "Tequila will be poured tonight."
-
Here are the 2 professors who led our trip to Norwich Cathedral in January 2013. The one on the right, Fr. Steven Peay, has just been selected the 20th dean and president of Nashotah House, the seminary where Richard received his Master of Arts in Ministry.
-
Yes, I remembered that DR DRUXY.
DR GINNY did you get stainless steel appliances or black or some other hue?
Good news about RICHARD and His Surgery.

Healing and soothing vibes for MR BK and his voice box.

I don't know WHAT you're talking about. :)
Except that you forgot to change the third sentence of today's notes. :)

Glad to hear that DH Richard is on the road to recovery!

It is certainly a worthy cause.

...
DR GINNY did you get stainless steel appliances or black or some other hue?
Good news about RICHARD and His Surgery.
DR JRand, we got white to match the stove and to fit into the blue, white, and brushed chrome color scheme in the kitchen. Stainless steel would have fit, too, but I think it's impossible to keep looking clean - water spots, etc. I don't even want a stainless steel sink.
Thanks from Richard.

Thank you, DR Singdaw!
-
AH! Well I thought that, too....but actually the stainless steel Frigidaire stove and fridge we got don't show fingerprints or spots at all.
I got some Stainless Steel Wipes at Dollar Tree and we use them once a week and we're fine.
-
I decided to walk to the bank and do some banking, which is what I like to do at the bank, then, even though I'm having an early dinner meeting at five, I walked over to Jerry's Deli and had a cup of chicken soup as a preventative. And since I have no intention of having any bread and butter for dinner, I had a bagel with the soup. So, tonight I'll just order my pasta dish and no salad and it will be exactly the same amount of food I'd have eaten if I hadn't had the soup and the soup has less calories than the Caesar, too.
-
Friday afternoon greetings! Richard came through his carpal tunnel surgery just fine. He's had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, some chocolate frozen yogurt, and tea. I suspect he might crash soon.
Excellent!!! I've been told it is a quick recovery on these.
VIBES THIS IS TRUE FOR RICHARD!!!

The colors sound pretty together. I agree with you regarding stainless steel.

This surprises me, must help that you have special wipes for it.

Off to hear Beethoven's Third Symphony (the "Eroica"), along with a Mozart piano concerto. The soloist is Jeremy Denk, a good friend of former DR JoseSPiano.

Keith is downloading his new computer game which limits what I can do. The more I try to open the slower his download.

Right now, I'm listening to the new live cast recording of "Miss Saigon." I love the live aspect of it. And the singers are all pretty good. Although the Chris' vibrato is a little too pronounced. He sounds older than the character should...in my opinion. But it doesn't ruin the whole recording at all. :)

And the countertops we've picked out will complete the effect!

Good evening!
-
Cozi TV (another one of those new channels, I guess) is showing a 1968 film called Funny Girl. It looks kind of familiar.
-
Glad to hear Richard is recovering well.
-
Ever since hearing Brent B singing "She Wasn't You" on his Alan Jay Lerner album I've wanted to hear him sing it live, but never have. So I just read a review of this week's Cabaret Convention in NYC and read that he sang it Wednesday night. Oh, well. Maybe he'll do a Lerner concert someday.
-
Condolences to Cillaliz.
-
Well, it's time for me to leave work. First, I have to go to the theater, but I can't stay. I won't be running the sound board for "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) [revised]" tonight.
-
I'll just have time to drop off the money till because I have a union meeting at 7:00. As soon as the meeting is over, I'll go to the theater to pick up the till.
-
It'll be a long night though, because after tonight's show, we're having a cast party, and I'll definitely be able to go to that. :)
-
And now, since we're so close...
-
4OUR!!
-
DR George, enjoy your party tonight.
-
Wow!
-
93 posts?
-
This does not bode well.
-
It is 6:30 on the Left Coast.

I had to come in from the bedroom to post, because I couldn't get the Wifi to work in the bedroom.
-
I had some sausage for lunch today, and it must have been loaded with MSG.
-
I just finished taking a four hour nap.
-
Maybe I need to keep that sausage around for the nights that I can't sleep.
-
I do feel refreshed.
-
Non-stop coverage of the Marysville shooting.
-
The shooter was only fourteen years old.
-
Last Friday he was the Freshman Homecoming Prince.
-
Tonight he is dead.
-
What happened in the last week.
-
One student said one of the people he shot was his cousin.
-
Some people on Facebook are saying we should ban all news coverage of school shootings.
-
I don't think that would ever happen.
-
I wish we knew the answer to this growing problem.
-
Closing our eyes to it won't make it go away.
-
We must figure out how to curb this violence.
-
This is Andy "TCB" Rooney reporting.
-
BK, when do you fly to New York?
-
I wish I could see a Kritzerland show someday.
-
Boy, have I cleared the room.
-
Even the invisible Guests have left the room.
-
Well, I am making a dent.

Thank goodness.

I am happy that we are now on Page Five.

Tonight is the season premiere of GRIMM.
-
I am not sure I want to go another season with that show.
-
Maybe I will give it a try tonight and then decide.
-
Does anyone else here watch THE FLASH?
-
Hi TCB!
-
I am really enjoying it, so far.
-
Hi Cilla! How are you doing?
-
Cilla, I am so sorry about your friend.
Thanks. I have to say that the suicide shocked me with him. I haven't talked to him in a couple years and read on someone's facebook that he had a heart attack last year, but never would have believed he'd do this. Apparently he suffered from depression but I didn't know that.
-
I really thnk you made the right decision about your assistant.
-
I'm doing fine.
-
Great job, DR TCB, getting us to page 5 while I've been knitting and listening to The End of Your Life Book Club.

Still trying to figure out if I can do everything at work. I'm actually enjoying it for now. It's a lot more work, but it's really satisfying.

Speaking of my mom....she was hungry for her Aunt Emma's chocolate cake today. She looked and the recipe and didn't have everything so she improvised....apparently it didn't go so well,....
-
I hope the missing ingredient wasn't the chocolate.

Vixmom has joined us.

I need to go back to the bedroom.

She didn't have cocoa so she used Hershey syrup. I told her they aren't the same thing.
-
I hope to see you soon.............
-
She didn't tell me what else she didn't have
-
She did say tomorrow she is going to the grocery store, getting the right ingredients and making another cake
-

Dad said, if you use enough ice cream, it tastes ok. Not sure if he's being diplomatic or if he just doesn't want to cook
-
Dad said, if you use enough ice cream, it tastes ok. Not sure if he's being diplomatic or if he just doesn't want to cook
That is true about ice cream with anything.
-
When I first talked to her she said "Well I mixed it up and put it in the over and it's cooking so it must be ok" I said "Of course it's cooking, the oven is hot" She cracks me up
-
Okay. Changing rooms.
-
When I called back to see how it came out she said "Oh my God! It flopped and it flopped big. I think it was the worst thing I've ever had" She says that about everything she doesn't like
-
Ginny, I think I read that book.....sheesh! I sound like my mom
It was the all-city read in Cincinnati a couple of years ago.
-
I'm sure I read it. I remember parts of it and I remember really liking it

Thanks Vixmom. It made me really want to see those friends again. I haven't seen most of them for a very long time, probably 2006 or 2007. Which is a long time after seeing them 4 times a year for about 9 years. I saw a few in Toronto, but not many and I got in the habit of touring instead of doing all the social events so, maybe NOLA in February. Not sure. Sort of depends on what kind of airfare I can get.
-
I had not heard about any White House emergency broadcast Did you ever find out what it was all about , Druxy?
-
Ginny i am looking forward to seeing photos of the new kitchen
-
((TCB))) just 'cause
-
Yes Ginny, would love to see the kitchen!
-
I had not heard about the school shooting either - actually I just realized I havn't heard the news all week
I usually get my news from NPR in the car but I have just been listening and re-listening to Roberta all week and I am completely clueless about current events
-
Healing Vibes for Richard
Thanks, DR Vixmom!
-
DRs Vixmom and Cillaliz, I will definitely post pictures of the kitchen, but not until the countertops are installed. We'll be lucky if that happens by Christmas.
But, what's my hurry - this is actually the completion of a makeover that we started 15 years ago...

You're probably better off, DR Vixmom.

I don't understand these shootings
I just can't wrap my head around what makes someone suddenly decide its a great idea to just kill everyone in the room

'night!

The school shooting is the only thing on the news tonight.

I seemed to have stumbled across the answer:
False 'Emergency' TV Warning Sent to Some AT&T U-verse Subscribers
Morning television viewers across several states got a jolt Friday when a radio broadcast erroneously triggered an alert of an emergency warning system generally reserved for moments of national distress. There was no national emergency on Friday morning.
The warning flashed across television screens and broke into regular programming, claiming to come “at the request of the White House.” The Federal Emergency Management Agency said that the erroneous message came about after a syndicated radio show played a series of tones that set off alerts at other radio and TV stations.
“This morning, there was an inappropriate playing of the national emergency alert notification tones on a syndicated radio broadcast,” FEMA spokesperson Rafael Lemaitre said in a statement. “Certain alerts, like the one broadcast today, are designed to be automatically picked up and rebroadcasted by other radio and TV station. FEMA and the FCC are currently working with broadcasters to determine the full scope of the situation.”
The warning was an unpleasant early-hours surprise for some AT&T U-verse subscribers in states including Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas and Texas, and they took to Twitter for an explanation.
The false warning “was carried on our network, as well as some other providers,” an AT&T spokesman said in an updated statement on Friday. “We apologize to our customers.”

But, what's my hurry - this is actually the completion of a makeover that we started 15 years ago...
It'll be worth the wait. Take your time and get it just the way you want it

The first one is my new little tree. It looks scrawny but the leaves are beautiful
-
I love the tree in the third photo
-
So we need to get this page turned
-
Does this do it?
-
Yup
-
Oh my! I'm talking to myself....well typing to myself
-
I have a big day tomorrow. Better go

The symphony concert was brilliant.

Gorgeous leaves, DR Cillaliz - thanks for sharing! :)

Very interesting, DR vixmom - thanks so much for researching and posting that explanation.

Good evening.

Beautiful trees, Cillaliz.

I am sorry to hear about your friend, Cillaliz. How very sad for everyone.

Hoping for a quick recovery for our resident minister Fr. Richard.

So, last May when I turned on the AC for the first time, I counted the number of days until a week before Halloween and set the thermostat to turn off then. That is in about an hour. It was 96 here today.
-
Thanks Laura. I posted the leaves for you :)

It was 78 here today. That's really warm for the end of October.

We're suppose to have a Ghouldown in temps before Halloween.....that's really what the weatherman said...I groaned

DITTO if I haven't said it yet

Page eight? Really? And I mean that in the best possible way for a change :)
-
Thanks to all for keeping the home fries burning.

I had a nice dinner meeting - had my penne bolognese and a small Caesar.
-
Then I came right home and intended to watch a motion picture, but waiting for me in an e-mail attachment was the Sandy packaging, so I've spent the last two hours proofing all the text, which is a LOT of text - mostly the included lyrics. Then I gave all those changes and not it can go off to Sandy. Doug did a beautiful job on it. Stunning photos and even a couple with me that I don't hate too much.
-
I hope to go up north to Oak Creek Canyon next week to see the leaves, Cillaliz.

Popping Coldeez, taking Airborne and relaxing.

So I bit him.

Constantinople.

CRANBERRIES!

UNDERPANTS!

Lithium!

I am my own frenzy.

I do believe a nice hot shower is in order.

HOLY MOLY IT'S A PAGE NINE DANCE!!

DR George, enjoy your party tonight.
Thanks, Jane. However, (and I don't know why), the party was cancelled. :-\

It's been rescheduled for after strike on Sunday. :)
