Post by: bk on March 01, 2015, 01:46:45 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes were written on the first of March, and now it is time for you to post until the first of March cows come home.

Good morning, all.

Could definitely have used another hour or so of sleep.  But the feline contingent wasn't having it.

Coffee!

Which is what I call:  March coming in like a lion.

Good morning, all!  I slept about an hour longer than I had intended. 

I had a strange dream involving DR Ginny, Richard, and our long-gone DR Joey and another dream in which I seemed to be on a shopping trip on the Upper West Side with the Real Housewives of Atlanta; all I remember of it now is a trip to Tower Records and refolding clothing in a dept. store.  The dream  with DR Ginny and Richard seemed to be about about a church bulletin and a murder.  Richard had a huge beard like Gabby Hayes and a stupid hat, andwe were fighting over the cover of the church bulletin.  I was also directing a murder investigation.

It's got to be that Tylenol with Codeine.

Another tax day.  At some pint Joshie will contact me abut that chart for "I Can Cook, Too," so I will spend a short amount of time visiting with him.  I think I've now printed out ever invoice I need, so all I'm dealing with now are the tallies.

Sunday morning greetings!  Once again, we are NOT on our way to Lima even though our household has been up since about 5am.  For a couple of hours I thought Richard was going to attempt the trip, but he cancelled when we heard that even the nearby Air Force base is closed today.

LOL about your dream, DR Elmore!  Richard is letting his beard fill out until the end of March and then he will trim it down.  He may look like Gabby Hayes yet!

The point at which the sermons start sounding like authentic frontier gibberish is when you should begin to worry, DR Ginny.

I'm listening to Dvorak's Requiem this morning.  It's quite beautiful, but i think I like the Mass in D better.

Once my church mode is over, I've got a lot of cast and soundtracks to play, and I've pulled these possibilities for today:
  The Good Companions
  Sitting Pretty
  The Slipper and the Rose
  On the Twentieth Century
  Centennial Summer
  On A Clear Day

DR ELMORE the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dream indicates your wish to have a visit from DR GINNY and Fr. RICHARD.....although you don't know when that can happen....but you do want to do it sooner rather than later. The bulletin/murder aspects say that you depend upon DR GINNY for news and feel rather out of touch with the old homestead.....and while tragedy would draw you back, it seems a very drastic way of reconnecting.

The other part of your dream indicates that you think much of your work consists of cleaning up after others and putting things in order that others leave awry.

It was truly a grand night last night at the opening of the new Ordway Music Hall downtown. Everyone was dressed up (black tie), so the people watching was fun. The new hall is glorious, with an amazing acoustic, and very comfortable. Afterward I had a chance to catch up with my friend, Sasha Cooke, one of the featured soloists for the evening (DR JRand64 - she sang Kitty in Dr. Atomic at the Met). Pianist Jeremy Denk was also featured - I had met him before through former DR JoseSPiano. Afterward there was music, dancing, and elegant desert stations scattered throughout the building. A fine affair!

Yes, she was absolutely amazing. I also remember a wonderful performance by a young actress doing Eudora Welty's "Why I Live At The P.O."  I also liked Robert Morse as Truman Capote.

On another topic, DRs: Has anyone read any of these provocative books?

Thanks DR SINGDAW.....what a fun evening it sounds like.  Oh yes......now I want to watch DOCTOR ATOMIC again.....

Yes DR ELMORE for some reason the snow is deeper in the backyard....it is much flatter than the sloping front yard, so that might be one explanation.

I would like to read SOME of those books.

I have been released from rehearsal this afternoon because of the weather.....so that is nice.

Got my brownie points and gold stars for being the only musician to have managed to show up before they decided to pull the plug on it.  The snow was accumulating much too quickly, and much more than had been forecast for the daylight hours, and audience members were starting to call in their cancellations.  And it was the right thing to do.  It would have been a freaking disaster if they'd let the next three hours of snow fall, with people needing to get out of there.

Larry, I really believe if you're patient with how long a delivery order might take in this weather, the delivery people from a restaurant would love to have your order on what's probably a slow night for the place itself.  I think in this type of weather, delivery is actually good business for them.

Kevin, I don't know if Bruce has given you these instructions but try them if you don't think they are too complicated, or perhaps you have a friend who can try it for you. It's all predicated on the idea that you're using Windows, not Apple. I don't know how to do it with Apple.

Thsi may not work but it also might work so it's worth a try (Laura, if you see this in the next week or so you or perhaps your son can try it as well).

What you're attempting to do is to "flush" your DNS cache (DNS = Domain Name Servers). It means you will be flushing out old information from a cache stored on your computer. YOU WILL NOT BE LOSING ANY IMPORTANT INFORMATION and it could get rid of the erroneous information stored in your browser(s) cache(s)

To begin, click the start button at the bottom left of the computer. I think you know what that is. (http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff302/HHWgroup/Start%20Button_zpsgkwdyqls.png) (http://s238.photobucket.com/user/HHWgroup/media/Start%20Button_zpsgkwdyqls.png.html).

When you click it, at the bottom of the long tab is a space that says "search programs and files" at the end of the space is a magnifying glass (http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff302/HHWgroup/start%20tab%20with%20search%20box_zpsylj26iqp.jpg) (http://s238.photobucket.com/user/HHWgroup/media/start%20tab%20with%20search%20box_zpsylj26iqp.jpg.html)

In that space type cmd (it doesn't matter if it's upper or lower case). This is telling the computer to give you a command prompt. A box will open (http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff302/HHWgroup/Command-Prompt_zpsblxcwrag.jpg) (http://s238.photobucket.com/user/HHWgroup/media/Command-Prompt_zpsblxcwrag.jpg.html)

You will see that at the top of the box it says

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

C:\Users\Kevin> (or whomever you have listed as the user/owner of the computer)

At the end of the line that says

C:\Users\Kevin>

Press the space bar once (you should see a flashing cursor and you will see it move one space) then type ipconfig/flushdns (exactly as you see it here) then press Enter or Return or whatever that key is called on your keyboard

C:\Users\Kevin> ipconfig/flushdns

After you press Enter/Return/Etc. you should get a message that says

Windows IP Configuration

Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.

C:\Users\Kevin>

As I said, this may not solve the problem but it's helped me in the past when I need to clear out some information from the DNS server/cache. After you complete this I would suggest re-booting the computer to get a clean start. If you're uncomfortable doing this I understand but it's simpler than it looks and sounds.

Good luck and I hope to see you here not on your phone!

Back from Oliver! It was a professional production. But they must have cut the heck out of the libretto. The first act was exactly an hour, and the second half even shorter than that. I absolutely hated the new orchestrations.  But my friend playing Fagin did a really outstanding job.

Home from a wonderful performance with an almost full house.  Our first complete standing ovation, not that that really means anything.  Two critics with us, so we'll see how that comes out, but everyone was pretty much on their game today - lots of laughs, the two act two showstoppers REALLY stopped the show cold today.

Watched a strange melodrama called Wife vs. Secretary with Jean Harlow, Myrna Loy, Clark Gable and Jimmy Stewart. Never felt quite right and they treat Harlow's character all wrong. She's smart, she can run a business, she's funny. So they make her a sap for Stewart in slacks and gives it all up in exchange for her MRS. degree.

The cast was great, though.
