Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of cereal killers, and now it is time for you to post until the Kellogg's cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: VERBIGERATION!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
TOD:
No idea what I will watch this weekend. No new DVDs have arrived, but I'm recording 3 old Edward G. Robinson flicks off of TCM, so I may watch some of those.
-
TCB - Many congrats on your milestone/millstone!
-
BK - Wonderful that you found those reviews that you'd missed before!!!
-
George - Great to hear about the show.
-
The packaging for Frosted Flakes has changed over the years. They used to be SUGAR Frosted Flakes of corn. Then they were billed as Sugar FROSTED Flakes of corn. Then they were sugar FROSTED FLAKES of Corn. Now I think they're called FROSTED FLAKES OF CORN as sugar has become more verboten.
-
Good morning, all.
And somebody serve me a bowl of Sugar Frosted Flakes, please. I haven't had that in decades, but I loved it and Captain Crunch when I was a kid. Yum, sugar high so early in the day.
-
Good morning.
-
That cereal box with a gun on it would get a kid suspended from school today.
-
Congratulations, TCB, on your milestone/millstone.
-
TOD:
DVD: Cold in July
CD: This Christmas, a CD of an old radio version of "It's a Wonderful Life."
Car CD: Almost finished with Marilynne Robinson's tough, wonderful "Lila" and maybe some Christmas music.
-
Hearty congratulations to DR TCB on his new milestone.
-
Did bk review BOYHOOD, and I somehow missed it?
-
Good morning, all! I'm not quite awake yet but I had a huge dream that Rob Berman and i were doing benefit concerts of ROBERTA in New York and Connecticut for Goodspeed and all of the NYC and Dublin casts were performing. It was a neat dream.
This morning, I have several errands to run: City Center, the pharmacy, the market. Then it's back to the last Paint Your Wagon numbers.

Well, I tried reading Grand Hotel by Vicki Baum. I really did. I slogged through about 100 pages and I've decided not to finish. It's a tedious read (for me) and if it hasn't grabbed me by 100 pages I don't think the next 158 pages will pull me in. I know and greatly enjoy both the movie and the musical but this book just doesn't work for me. There are pages and pages and pages of excruciating detail which add nothing (IMHO) to the story. It just drags on and it's taken me over a week to get through the 100 pages that I have read. I'm glad that someone at MGM realized the potential for the movie but if I had read this book in 1929 or 1930 I would have said no go.
It's on to John O'Hara and Pal Joey. I have to go to WorldCat and ILLIAD and order the book and then wait for it to work through the Interloan process so it will be a while.
-
Good morning, all.
Had a pretty decent sleep, and I believe I am making progress on getting rid of this cough.
-
Today I must do some work at the keyboard, setting up and running through a few things for the holiday concerts, and tonight I will be attending the local NUTCRACKER.
-
TOD, Part the First --
Some Vincent Price horror films on the Blu-ray. So seasonal!
TOD, Part the Second --
Sugar Frosted Flakes, for sure, probably my all time favorite. But I liked many others as well, including the non-sugared ones, as long as I dumped enough sugar on them.
It's odd, but both my sister and I grew up hating milk, too. But it was made for cereal, and that was probably how I got most of my milk intake as a young-un.
-
Cheerios!

Yup. I hate books like that. I have too great a tendency to finish them, however. I need to learn that 100-page guideline and stick to it.

Friday morning greetings! My horoscope in today's paper says "...there's a swirl of chaos around you now."
That's an understatement.
-
A nice young man named Brandon was here at 9am to do the measurements for our new countertops. Before he arrived we had to clear everything from the kitchen surfaces, so our dining room was strewn with appliances, etc. We discussed some design issues and he did a detailed drawing and took a lot of pictures. I've decided only to put back what we absolutely need for the next week, because the installation is scheduled for 9am a week from Monday.
-
Meanwhile, the arrangements for Mom's move are progressing and I have to go this afternoon to fill her in on the details. My sister and her husband and their daughter will arrive Sunday. Mom and I share the same horoscope and she has no idea the kind of chaos that will be swirling around her early next week.
-
Swirl of chaos -- sounds like a Viennese waltz step.
May you dance gracefully through the swirl, Ginny.
-
I've run my errands and i am home for the moment. I still have some banking a trek to the market yet.
We got a loverly article on ROBERTA from Peter Filichia this morning.

What I learned from reading Jimmie Walker's autobiography DYN-O-MITE:
The producers wanted Ralph Carter to play the youngest son, Michael, but he had a long term contract with the Broadway musical RAISIN - so they cast another young actor who worked right up until the day they taped they pilot....and then was released:
Laurence Fishburne
-
Happy Belated Birthday DR Ginny!
-
Even though Winter hasn't officially started is it too early for me to say I am sick of it already?
We got a lot of snow. And for some reason it has stayed really thick on the tree branches. So basically if you walk under a tree you might get a big thing of snow dropped on your head.
-

Yep, DR JRand, that's when my "reinforcements" arrive!
-
Happy Belated Birthday DR Ginny!
Thanks, DR Jennifer!

Good news DR GINNY

DR SINGDAW said on Facebook that he was on the radio.

I'm up, I'm up. I think I got about ten hours of blessed sleep, which I really needed.
-
Now, this world class storm, the heaviest rain we were going to have in the last decade? I believe it rained (and not that hard) for about two hours in the middle of the night. Right now? The sky is blue.
-
They can't call Corn Pops, Sugar Pops, anymore; because they are no longer sugared. As a result, the cereal that I used to enjoy as a kid, is now, just plain nasty.

This site has spoiled me. I expected that I could click on Brandon's name and get to see some photos of this nice young man. No such luck.

And today he is the producer of that other hit TV series, MAWKISH, whoops BLACKish.

Ginny, was exactly is an assisted living room? Is it more like a room in a nrsing home, or is it still along the lines of a small apartment, with possibly their own furniture? I thought I should ask now, since I will probably have forgotten by the time I move into one.
-
Thank you all for the congratulations on my millstone. And thank you, Ben, for proving that someone does actually read my posts from the night before!

That DR Ginny is such a tease, DR TCB!
And by the way, you old coot, I too read your posts. Unfortunately, with my diminishing mental powers I forget most of it by the time I start posting the next morning.
-
Interesting that neither the IMDB listing or Fishburne's listing even mentions the GOOD TIMES debacle.
Of course if Larry (as he was known then) had gotten the role on TV, he wouldn't have been available to do APOCALYPSE NOW.

It's a health care facility, but not as intensive as skilled nursing. Mom will have a decent sized private room with en suite bath. Meals are in a nearby dining room and she will be checked on throughout the day. The staff will administer her meds, including her Scotch. She will have neither meds nor Scotch in her room.
-
Mom's reaction when I told her she's moving on Wednesday: "Oh, GOOD!"
Whew!
-
Wow. And whew! :)
-
What a relief, Ginny!
-
Very good DR GINNY.
-
We should find out who will be the TOP THREE on The Amazing Race Tonight....but they say there is a "surprise" on the mat - so maybe this is a "you are still racing" leg. That haven't had one of those yet this season.

George - Great to hear about the show.
Thanks, Fred!

What a great write-up on ROBERTA. Congrats!
That Filichia sure comes up with great approaches to his subjects.

Yes, DRs ChasSmith, Laura, JRand, and Vixmom, there is great relief here. My sister and I were both awake in the wee hours this morning stewing about it.

From DR Ginny:
And she will have her friends nearby. We saw 2 of them today who were pleased to learn of her impending move.
This is very nice and should be a big help for her.
Will still be able to drink her scotch?

LOL, good think your mother is blessedly ignorant of her horoscope.
I am relieved for you that your sister & her family will be there to help.

She's going to have friends nearby, still able to drink scotch, her own private room, meals prepared for her, and people there to wait on her.....doesn't sound so bad to me :) Glad she's ready to go, it makes all the difference in the world

Watched the screener of Birdman. I'm starving right now. I shall shortly shower then be on my way to Ruth's Chris.

Sugar Pops became Corn Pops
Sugar Smacks became Honey Smacks
A pointed out before SUGAR was a bad word even though sugar was still in the product.

And during at least the first season one it said during the end credits: "Ralph Carter courtesy of the Broadway musical "Raisin".
I believe he was doing both shows at the same time. (Obviously missing shows when he was in L.A.)

We've been so fortunate that my mother, and Richard's, made their own decisions along these lines. We've never been accused of "putting" them somewhere they didn't want to be.

Good afternoon. Just got in from a bike ride -twas a lovely ride.

Well, the last few days haven't been the best for me. I've been busy at work and with the show in the evening, but for the last few weeks, my cat Ebonie hasn't been doing well. She's been losing weight over the last few months and with all the shows that I've been involved with, I don't think I noticed as well as I should have. I took her to the vet three weeks ago and the blood test indicated a thyroid problem. The vet said that it was treatable. She (the vet) gave me some meds that I've been giving to Ebonie but she was still losing weight. Yesterday, she was really wobbly when she walked, and when I stopped home after work before going to the show, she could barely keep herself on her feet. When I got home after the show, she was laying down and couldn't really even lift her head. I thought that she might last until this morning. I was planning on taking her to the vet to have her put to sleep, but she didn't make it. I called another 24-hour vet and took her there at about 2:30 this morning. She was breathing when I took her to my car, but she was gone before I got there. I e-mailed my work and didn't go in at all. I've just been at home. Now, I have to get ready to go to the show.
I know I'll be fine, but it's going to be a strange weekend. :(
-
Anyway, here's a picture of her from a few years ago:

Dear George, sorry to hear about Ebonie. My thoughts are with you.

Yes, we are. And we didn't have to take the car keys away from them, either!

Condolences to George
-
Here at this weird mall that houses Ruth's Chris. Hop I can find my way out of here.
-
So hungry
-
Oh, DR George - my heart breaks for you. I am so sorry to hear this news!

DR George, I send my sympathy as well.

My cousin wants to do that with his mother but it won't happen. She was still driving well last year when I road with her.

Very sorry to hear that, DR George.
Been there. And I know I'll be there again. Condolences.

IPAD?
Nope. Android phone!

I guess the only saving grace is that Ebonie did not suffer too long.

I was on public radio today. If you are interested, you can read the story (or hear the feature; I am featured in the audio version a little bit) here:

I put off having my yard cleaned up all fall. I thought it was too late, but the weather got very nice and it's going to be in the mid 50s tomorrow, so I called a guy and he came over today. His quote is really too high, but he's going to do it tomorrow and I know it's a lot of work. There are a lot of leaves in the back yard and a fair amount of raccoon poop. I think they are using the leaves as beds, so I'm getting rid of all the leaves and poop and hopefully can get rid of them too. I've enjoyed feeding the birds, but just too many critters are making their way to my yard and the cats are going crazy
-
Something sprayed the sliding glass door, and may did they go into orbit. Both Ricky and Callie have big scratches on their noses. Otherwise I think we made it through the storm
-
Tomorrow is the Little Yellow Dog auction. It's a cute little scottie named Finnegan. I don't generally like animals being auctioned, but the lowest I've seen one go for at this auction is $15,000.00. Stoney went for $45000.00 the next week his owners were getting his health certificate so he could join them on their private jet to Vegas.
-
My vet takes care of the dogs and they told me generally the people keep coming back to them for care. The past few years the previous dogs have come to the auction. They all look happy, healthy and very spoiled
-
the AACB plays for this and frankly I'm not sure I'm up for it. It took me at least half a day to get with it today. I'm still not feeling the greatest and Monday and Tuesday are going to be killer days. Bad weather and a trip to Omaha for a hearing. My client couldn't find another ride, so he's riding with me. It will be good to practice my Spanish, but he's from El Salvador and I have a hard time understanding him.
-
Good night
-
Aw, George. I am so sorry.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
George, I'm so sorry to hear about Ebonie. She made your job easier by relieving you of the big decision. I'm glad you were nearby when she died--even if it was just in the car. And you have a lovely photo of her to remember her by. RIP, DC Ebonie.
-
Back from a brilliantly wonderful dinner at Ruth's Chris Woodland Hills with the Saitaman gals, Karen (mom, Sami and Sarah. I didn't think it was quite up to Beverly Hills, but the difference is so minor as to not be worth mentioning. And yet, I mentioned it. Go know. I had a salad and my New York steak. We all shared the lobster mac-and-cheese and lyonnaise potatoes, all incredible. They brought Karen and I birthday desserts - some sort of cheesecake thing, very small. Karen's birthday was two days after mine. We all laughed and laughed and just when we thought we could laugh no more, we laughed again. I am so full right now it isn't even funny. And yet, I laughed again.
-
Enjoyed Singdaw's article. I didn't hear any of Sing's HHW side in the clip, though. ;)
-
The location is one of the oddest malls ever. It's half empty and like a ghost town. Only the two restaurants had any kind of traffic - Ruth's Chris and Maggiano's. They are, apparently, building a new mall to the north that will connect this one and the one way to the north, Topanga Plaza, all together, which will make it maybe the biggest mall in LA.
-
I'm tired, too. But must be up by eight-thirty for she of the Evil Eye.
-
I am very tired tonight.
Good night, all.
-
I bought mom Karen my favorite perfume - Givency Very Irresistible. Sami grabbed it and sprayed a tiny bit on her wrist. Not all perfumes work for all people, but Sami absolutely went nuts for the smell - she just loved it. Which means mom will be sharing it with her two daughters.
-
We just had our first large donation to indiegogo - $1,000 - a friend of mine for over four decades and she gets to be in the program as an associate producer. Very happy about that.
-
George, just read over my comments and I don't think I really expressed how much my heart goes out to you. I do know the pain of losing a dearly loved cat. It was especially hard for me when I lost Petey after 15 years. I still think of him and it's been over 13 years since I had to make the ultimate decision. I was working or out a lot when I had Petey and I have had a lot of guilt over not being with him as much as I could have been. I read a little of that in your post but I hope you're not feeling the same way. It has always been clear how much you loved Ebonie and I'm sure she knew it. You really did give her a great life. Hugs to you
-
I have to say while killing a few minutes before dinner, they had a little pet adoption store in the mall - every dog, all eight of them, was so adorable and so loving.
-
Now I must get some sleep. Good night
-
Oh look. Page 5
-
Get a dog BK..... ;)
-
I do love the doggies, but don't have enough time to deal with it, and I hate the dying part.
-
George I am so very sorry for your loss of Ebonie, (((George)))
-
I gotta tell you.
-
George, my condolences on the loss of Ebonie. I know you cared a great deal for her, and you gave her a great life.
-
It is the hardest part of being an adoptive parent.
-
Nicky is being very cuddly tonight. I will tell him about Ebonie tomorrow.
-
Is everyone out getting drunk tonight?
-
Maybe they are all over at Ginny's mom's place for some scotch?
-
I believe I am almost over these stomach problems.
-
I am drunk on steak and Diet Coke.
-

I am going to have to stop referring to myself as Nicky's Daddy when I am talking to him. The little boy next door asked me if I have a son.

I would love to dine at Ruth's Chris.

Do they have a filet on their menu?
-
No Miss Vix tonight?

I guess it would be a little late now.

Yes, they have an excellent filet. And rib-eye.

We just had our first large donation to indiegogo - $1,000 - a friend of mine for over four decades and she gets to be in the program as an associate producer. Very happy about that.
Congrats, BK! Onward and upward!
