Well, you've read the notes, the notes took not seven minute but fourteen, which means that instead of being medium rare they are well done, and now it is time for you to post until the seven-minute cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PYROPHORIC!
-
Why am I up so early??
-
Since I am.......
Good morning to all
-
And vibes of all kinds who need them.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
It is Friday, and that is good.
-
Not much to report, it was a relatively uneventful work week.

TOD:
THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ELEANOR RIGBY
-
Good morning, all.
Woke up with a sore throat. Needing to take it easy today.
-
Good morning, all! I slept late. I hd a weird dream involving DR Ginny and Richard and a break-in in my apartment. The police caught the perpetrator, but in this dream I had a second apartment a block away on 83rd Street, and I needed to verify that missing items were not at the other apartment. So, DR Ginny, Richard and I went to the other apartment and I couldn't find the building.
So, I'm back to Encores! today, which is a big relief.
-
Good morning, all.
Still behind, and woefully short on time to post, but I'm here for a brief nonce or two.
-
Friday morning greetings! Nothing on the calendar for today, but I have gobs of AAUW work to do, including appointing a nominating committee that will be tasked with finding, among others, a replacement for me as president.
-
DR Cillaliz, I loved reading about your recent trial and the happy ending!
-
DR Elmore, when you find that second apartment we'll sublet it from you!
-
DR GEORGE it can also be an HR BEGONE lunch as well.
-
The mailman left the next neighbor's mail at our house.....and our mail was left at the before neighbors.
I went to take the neighbor's mail to her house and the mail for the NEXT house was in her box.....
I have a feeling everyone on the street will be getting unusual mail today. I stopped him when he came back to his truck....and he went to the neighbor before us and took our mail out of it and gave it to me.
I felt like DR ELMORE.....
-
DR ELMORE your dream about cats the other day is full of emotions....you have suffered an emotional setback or upheaval OR you think you have caused the same in someone else. It can also indicate upcoming disagreement with neighbors.
Today's dream indicates that although you live in NYC, your communication with your family and DR GINNY keeps you grounded in your hometown/state. You are also concerned that something that is missing has actually been taken by someone else.

Six Women on Six Chairs is the name of my musical review.
I used desk chairs for Mabel and Hines in THE PAJAMA GAME so we could have a little shop shoe during "I'll Never Be Jealous" again because Mabel was a heavier older lady who not extremely mobile.
This is Prez and Gladys....I directed/choreographed it....I wasn't in it. It is one of my favorites shows.

"Her Is"?
-
Good morning, all!
-
Are railroad train dreams similar to airplane dreams?
-
I'm up, I'm up - slept well, just not quite enough - but close to eight hours.
-
I slept heavily last night, and this morning I am very groggy.
-
I should be straightening up the place this morning, before my sister and brother-in-law stop by; but I just have no energy.
-
I have driven everyone away!
-
Even the Guests!
-
DR ELMORE is 100% correct - the song is "Her Is".
-

-
Where is everyone?
-
I've been on the phone trying to recruit a nominating committee - no luck so far...
-
DR GEORGE it can also be an HR BEGONE lunch as well.
We did have a mini-HR-BEGONE-celebration during our lunch. ;)
We had a delightfully delightful lunch at the local Red Robin. Because I have the RR Royalty card, I actually had enough points to get one of the burgers for free! That was a nice bonus.
-
Royalty pays.

From DR Cilla:
And at the end she walks off into the sunset with Callie Ricky and Boo bounding after her, lol
A perfect ending :)

Here's the latest with that corrupt LaCie disc: several of my backups last weekend did not last and I have lost every backup from 2013. It does bother me since you never know when a request for something will come down the pike.
Life goes on. I'm beginning to wonder if the universe is telling me it's time to die.

DR elmore I am sorry.
-
DR Ginny I wish I could donate all the books I'm getting rid of to your big book sale.
-
Still dealing with a minor sore throat. Had a nap earlier but managed to get a big load of work done. Thankfully, they let me work from home. They didn't want anything in case I'm contagious. And I understand.
-
Listening to Breaking Away for the second time today. What fun.

That would be great, DR Jane! How about I pick them up? ;)

I am listening to "Classical Broadway" right now. "Breaking Away" will be next.

Has anyone actually seen AMERICAN SNIPER? There certainly is a lot of controversy over it.
-
Last night we watched THE GOOD LIE. It was a good movie.
-

I haven't, and I don't have any plans to do so. I'm just not interested in it.
-
George, maybe you ought to apply for the HR job.
-
53 posts??
-
Say what?
-
Of course, we have vacationing regulars.
-
Noah is apparently living in Tacoma and has just about finished that Ark
-
We have been having a real gullywasher!

I really hadn't thought about it one way or the other. All the protest are making me curious.

Stay dry DR TCB.

Umm...I'm not going to say, "no." I'm going to say HELL NO!!

The Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle has been heavily advertising their production of DON QUIXOTE. Now, I have never seen that ballet, but I do know that both Nureyev and Mikhail Baryshnikov have donaced a ballet by that name. So, what confuses me is that the PNB prodcution stars Tom Skerritt as Don Quixote. Mr. Skerritt is a fine actor, but a ballet dancer? I don't think so.

We have just a light sprinkling down here in Tumwater.

I was wondering about that. :-\ It's not like they're doing Man of La Mancha and they've separated the Cervantes role from Don Quixote role and cast two people (which I've never heard of and wouldn't want to).

No DR Ron Pulliam today?

Don Quixte in the ballet is a character role. The principal male dancer is a romantic role. Baryshnikov and Nureyev did not play Quixote.
-
But did they play pinochle?

DR Laura do you have a secret life we don't know about, that of author? A book by you just caught my attention. The title is BUTTERFLY WEEDS. It sounds like something you would write ;)
-
Hello, everyone.
-
Sore-throat-begone vibes to DR John G and anyone else who needs them.
-
Larry, I'm very sorry to hear about your back-ups. Is it the LaCie drive that's the problem? Where's the Mac Man?
-
DR JANE
Thank you for the offer from yesterday. Yes I will take them off your hands. I will send you a fedex and all you have to do is attach it to the package and drop it off in fedex box if there one is close by to you or a fedex office.

Thank you, elmore, I knew that you would have the answer.

I can't believe what I did to myself. I hardly go out anymore socially because come evening I am in pain. So tomorrow I overbooked myself with two different friends. With one I am going to a late morning movie and then lunch. I take a break then I am going for dinner and another movie.
I can't bring myself to cancel as I haven't seen them in a while and I have already bought the movie tickets.
I'll let you know if I survive. :-)

I think the gulf between the twenty-somethings and me is growing wider.
I stopped at the bank today. The teller was a young female, who appeared to be chewing gum and had the most lackadaisical attitude possible. I needed to deposit a check, get some cash, and begone. A 5-minute transaction, one would think. She was very slow. "How's your day going?" she asked. I wanted to say, "Fine until I encountered you," but held my tongue. "Fine." A few minutes later, "Do you have plans for the weekend?" I suspect that this is, in her mind, being friendly, but I neither know her nor wish to. Why would I discuss anything of a personal nature with someone I don't know?
I'm convinced that I'm the last person on Earth with a sense of privacy. I do often chat with the cashiers at Trader Joe's and the waitstaff at various eateries, but at the bank I wish to conduct my business and leave. I would think that many people feel the same.
Do twenty-somethings bond with everyone they meet, instant BFF? If someone has an explanation, please fill me in.
Maybe I'm just becoming Maggie Smith.
-
Larry, thanks for your concern about my health. I'm feeling better, over the flu, eating normally, and such. Trying to catch up on life's mundanities (read laundry, errands, etc), but that's a different problem.

Oh goodness no, I will put them in a postal envelope and mail them priority. I should warn you, so you can change your mind, they are old and a bit musty.
Thank you for the fed-x offer.

They are in decent shape.

LOL, aren't we all becoming Maggie Smith or maybe have been all along.
I get more frustrated at who is training these people. I'm shocked gum chomping is permitted. It is one of my pet peeves. Until I developed TMJ I was a big gum chewer, however, when talking to people I stuck it on the roof of my mouth.
As for asking if you have plans I suppose she was trying to be friendly, but again usually service people ask that when they know you a bit better. I have also found they ask that because they want to be asked in return as they are doing something exciting.

GRIMM and then bed.

We received a NetFlix in the mail today which means we will be watching DEATH IN PARADISE season 2, disc 2. Unfortunately NetFlix does not have season 3.
-
Tomorrow we should have "Snowpiercer" in the mail for viewing.
-
I like to talk to the people at the register if it's someplace I go all the time. It does encourage them to be friendly....and I have heard some interesting things.
I know three of the tellers at my bank.....two of them are friendly....one of them is not. They move around at the drive-thru windows, so I don't know which one I get until the screen comes on.....
-
Had a fun and productive rehearsal - got close to the end of act one - about eight to ten more pages. Staged one difficult scene and one bigger number so got those out of the way. I'll talk about how I'm directing this show in the notes tomorrow - I decided early on how I would do this one, and it's something I've never really done before and while some of the actors might be confused by it, a couple of them totally "got" what I was doing and are enjoying it. And it's working even if some of the cast thinks I'm not very good. In the end they will definitely know there was a method to what I'm doing. They may not acknowledge it, but the proof will be on the stage.
-
After, I went to Hugo's and had a salad and pasta papa.
-
Then I came home and wrote another third of the commentary and worked on the little song.
-
Now I'll try watching something.

Use the bank machine. :)
It seems overly friendly. But I'm sure she was just trying to be nice.

Top o' the evening, all. Pleased to be checking in.
-
I've ketchuped, so am at least up to date with what's going on with everybody.
Wish I had something brilliant to say. Too beat, I'm afraid.

Having a very fine time, thank you!
I wish I could say there will be a chance to meet up with the Vixfolks. I doubt our schedule will permit it, but what a fine thing that would be.
-
For now, it's bedtime. Huge day tomorrow.
Good night and MAJOR VIBES to all!

If you wave at each other as you pass on the highway, it is considered a mini-HHW gathering.
-
And I am alone again....
Naturally!
-
What topic shall I bore everyone with tonight?
-
Perhaps my childhood phobias?
-
Or my teenage puberty issues?
-
Or perhaps I could dazzle everyone with my theater stories.
-
CD's came today - why did I not know that Sandy's new CD was an entirely bk-written CD?? I need to stop in here more!!!
-
This is really pathetic.
-
Still on page four.
-
It is a Friday night.
-
Well the East Coast is out.
-
It is already Saturday morning for them.
-
I wish I wasn't brain-dead tonight.
-
How many Friday nights have I spent at this site?
-
A lot.
-
That should be sad, but it isn't.
-
One more post.

I gotta tell you.

Was watching some piece of tripe mystery movie - not really a movie - done for some cable network I'm sure, some network that was probably showing all reruns of crap and decided to get into original programming and then hired the worst writers, actors and directors to fulfill their dreams.
-
Okay, I am feeling a little better.

Yesterday, on You Tube, I tried watching SUNSET BLVD. This was (SUPPOSEDLY) the complete musical starring Elaine Page. It was complete with screen credits at the start and end, but it was filmed with obviously hidden cameras and very poorly lit. It was horrible!
-
A Killer Among Us - "inspired by actual events" - Lifetime, which must be the true nadir for the crap. But they make a lot of them and someone must be watching them.
