Post by: bk on January 10, 2015, 01:02:51 PM: I futzed and finessed for forty-five minutes before leaving this morning. I really wasn't sure about anything I'd written yesterday, but it seemed good to me, but I did do a lot of rewriting, adding, moving and revising - more than usual. I think I added at least a page-and-a-half and smoothed out a lot of stuff. I've written two new pages, too, and will now relax for a bit, then resume. My plan is six pages by six, and the other six by midnight.

Title: Re: THE NEVER-ENDING DAY
Post by: elmore3003 on January 10, 2015, 01:58:35 PM: Last night, I dragged out that manuscript of poems John Mekeel gave me when i saw him on May 30, 2013. It's all handwritten so i have the only copy, so far as I know.

He wrote a lvely inscription:
Dear Larry - I'm writing this on the 33 into N.Y.B. (Hey, that rhymes! Future poem perhaps?:
I'm on my way to start a new friendship with an old friend. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

Could I have helped him by letting him move in? I will never know. Perhaps I would have been the victim, although I doubt it.

God have mercy on him is all that I ask.

Title: Re: THE NEVER-ENDING DAY
Post by: Michael on January 10, 2015, 02:24:13 PM: I just finished seeing The Grand Budapest Hotel on TV. I highly recommend it. One of the best movies I've seen in a long time.

Well written and acted. Beautiful designed and shot in three different aspect ratios one doesn't recognize right away. I m not sure (without looking it up) what the other two are, but one is 1:33 which was used before the advent of widesceen photography. I believe it is callled Academy.

Sets and costumes are well done and some of the actors are unrecognizable.

If I am wrong about the aspect ratios please correct me.
Title: Re: THE NEVER-ENDING DAY
Post by: bk on January 10, 2015, 02:27:42 PM: Yes, the three main aspect ratios are all used in the film: Academy (1.33), widescreen (1.85) and scope (2.35)

This morning I presided at AAUW Middletown's January branch meeting, which had a great turnout of 30 people. Not bad for a blustery cold Saturday morning! Went from there directly to the home of DN Lauren and her husband Jim. They were having a belated holiday gathering with her sisters and their families. Richard and Rob met me there and Mary Linda eventually arrived from work.

Post by: Jane on January 10, 2015, 03:29:17 PM: DR Ginny I thought of you today. I recall, ages ago, you were looking for an individual flavor of tootsie roll pops. I found a loose assortment of them today in the bulk section of the market. In your honor I purchased two pops, cherry & chocolate, since I wasn't sure which flavor you had been looking for. Did you ever find them?

Post by: Ginny on January 10, 2015, 03:43:53 PM: DR Jane, it's the chocolate Tootsie Pops I'm always looking for. I usually find them in gas station convenience stores, airports, etc. I found something yesterday that reminded me of you, too. Kenwood Towne Center now has a See's Candies and they have the little hard candies like you brought me in April. I bought 2 boxes of the chocolate ones.

Yes, if I can restrain myself from making the whole box, that would only be six ounces of pasta and that's pretty good, calorie-wise.

Kevin, very nice of them to do the pasta primavera. Ecco used to do one that was to die for, back in its heyday. Such a shame how Ecco declined after it was sold. I used to eat there frequently, despite the usual hour-long wait. I still miss their food. I wonder if the Wharf uses Ecco's recipe?

1.
Each morning I stand
Little blue pills in my hand
Get me through the day
Then the shadows come to stay
And nothing drives them away

2.
Where are my pain pills?
I can’t take it any more
Here they are, thank God
How many will do the trick?
Let’s see . . . fifty should do it

Back from lunch at this place:

http://www.wharfrestaurant.com/index.html

Since I'm a vegetarian they fixed a delicious pasta primavera (that wasn't on the menu).

Kevin, very nice of them to do the pasta primavera. Ecco used to do one that was to die for, back in its heyday. Such a shame how Ecco declined after it was sold. I used to eat there frequently, despite the usual hour-long wait. I still miss their food. I wonder if the Wharf uses Ecco's recipe? (The two restaurants are right around the corner from one another.)

DR Jeanne--I used to go with a coworker for a delicious veggie pizza in Old Town. I think it was the Ecco Café.

DR John, you really are devoted to swimming. That does not sound like fun to me.

Hadn't been since June. And my friend Carol was staying in the pool for an hour, so I sort of had to.

;D

How many secret vegetarians do we have on this here site?

Secret? We're not keeping it secret. It's just that the only vegetarian that people remember is Jane.

Kevin, former DR Jeffrey Kaufmann, George's sister and niece, myself. Did I miss anyone?

I had either forgotten DR Kevin is a vegetarian or I didn't know it.

Technically DR George's niece is vegan ;) I wish I could take the extra step and do the same. Lately I haven't been the best vegetarian. It seems the tofu options at restaurants have been fewer.

Well, my sister and niece are no longer exclusively vegan. They have been eating free-range, cage-free eggs, and my sister has been eating some real (meaning dairy) cheese.

Post by: Jane on January 10, 2015, 06:34:32 PM: I'm surprised. When Craig was living here I went from range free eggs to range free, no kill chickens. He really enjoyed those eggs. Every once in awhile he buys eggs to cook with and when he is traveling he is a vegetarian vs vegan.

Since buying the fresh eggs down the road I can hardly tolerate restaurant eggs, even the range free ones. They just don't taste very good to me.

Title: Re: THE NEVER-ENDING DAY
Post by: Jane on January 10, 2015, 06:46:17 PM: It is easy to eat a proper vegetarian diet at home but often difficult when we eat out. It is a little bit frustrating to live in a town with a large population of vegetarians and not be able to have more options at the restaurants to substitute tofu.

I would not call something made with cream of mushroom soup healthy-tasty maybe but not healthy. Years ago I stopped keeping the soup in the house.

I tried to post the other night and but Road Runner was doing any thing but running. It kept losing my posts. That and we were down in the 30's the past couple of days! I couldn't wait to go to bed just to be warm so I went early.

I am on Day 4 of the flu. I made good progress with it at first, but now seem to have relapsed, due to a poor night's sleep. Maybe tomorrow will be better. I'm dying for a shower.

Feel better vibes your way, DR Jeanne!

I have a couple areas on the roof....well, not on the roof, but by the Juliette balcony and the Rapunzel area (that's what I call them) snow backs up there and can cause ice dams. Luckily, I can reach one of them from inside the bedroom and bathroom and the other is just opening the door to the balcony. I also had to clear out the driveway where it drifted and where the city truck filled in at the end of the drive. Boy am I out of shape. But I got it done
