TOD:
Hate 'em, hate 'em, hate 'em. Tracks rob shows of any life; as bk said in today's notes - they suck the life right out. Although now there's this technology where a "conductor" can tap out a beat on a little pad and at least give the actor/singers a little bit of autonomy with the music. Shows deserve to live with real live music, and real live musicians deserve their livelihood.
Yes, but how do you really feel, SunKist?
And what, praytell, are you doing up at this unGodly hour?

Any familiar names here?

Larry, I found your story about rearranging your apartment rather inspiring. I have too much stuff and not enough space. I need to get rid of more stuff.
I ordered a BE ACTIVE brace for my leg, hopefully it will do at least of what it claims it will do.....reviews on the inner web are mixed.

Good luck, DR Jrand64. I sincerely hope that it does not turn out like it did for Mr. Bates on Downtown Abbey. :P
...yes Donald Trump brought me out of my slump. Now there has to be a song in there

DR Jeanne - I am so sorry about that situation with your horrible neighbor.
I know that YOU shouldn't have to do anything, but have you tried sleeping with earplugs and/or a white noise generator?

We just saw a 330 foot long truck at a rest stop. It is carrying a tunnel borer. Everyone stooped to look at it and 99 percent of the people took photos. Keith put one on FB if someone wants to put it here.
Back from a wonderful rehearsal this morning - Handel with a 15-piece Baroque pitch string orchestra.

I'd love to see them leave and have this problem over and done with. If I had a stronger back I'd even help them move. ;)
Vibes there are lots of people at the bookstore today.

DR Jane must have a very accurate sense of distance. I'd never be able to tell how long a truck was. ;)

I was watching Orson Welles' Scottish Play movie last night, and it reminded me of a rumor I read on the internet.....

DanM - when do you need to be in Parker?
The twenty-something couple next door, AKA the Noisy Neighbors, had another one of their little parties last night. It didn't break up until 1 am. For a year or so they were actually relatively quiet, but about three months ago started having friends over again. The last time I spoke to them it got rather heated and I don't wish to put myself at risk. I almost called the cops, but was concerned that that would wake half the neighborhood. I will talk to the building manager, but she does little. So, only six hours sleep at most and I am not a happy camper.
I'm sorry. I didn't know what my schedule was going to be. I should have said something earlier.
Home sweet home :)

Thanks Laura. Maybe I could take a rain check for another time. They often invite me just to stay for a week. My friend is waiting for the probate on her mom's estate. Unfortunately her nearly 80 year old brother has been making threats that he will contest the will. I have seen the papers, not that I'm a lawyer, but I don't see anyway for him to prevail. But my friend has been bullied by this brother all their lives, so I don't blame her for feeling this way.
Home sweet home :)
And just where is Mr TCB? Can I call him in a post and he'll show up?
Getting management on your side is the other factor. It's not easy to evict in California. California law tends to side with the tenant and building owners must build a case, which takes time and effort. In my situation, I think the amount of time and effort already expended by the manager is less than what it would take to evict. The scale has finally tipped in my favor. We're all tired of dealing with these people.
I think it's promising that your management is keeping written complaints. Have others lodged complaints, too? Do you know if noise is the only issue or if they're often late in their rent? Your management may not really care, unfortunately, whether you're happy or not, but I bet they care greatly whether they get their money.
Thanks DR JANE and DR JEANNE.....I should have it by Wednesday, so we shall see.
I have been working on some sound effects for the September show so the director doesn't have to worry about them. He doesn't have to use them, but if he needs them or runs out of time....he'll have them.
Oh my DR DAN M.....Michael Lindsey-Hogg is even more so!

DR Dan M, I'm not sure why it matters that NN isn't the lease holder. The lease holder is responsible. Could the lease holder be someone influential who the management doesn't wish to tangle with or embarrass?
I don't know of anyone at my local police station, but if I did I would talk to them. They'd probably just say, "Call us when they're too noisy." I don't like to bother the police with these sorts of issues, but it does move it up a notch and tends to get people's attention.
DR Jeanne - I am so sorry about that situation with your horrible neighbor.
I know that YOU shouldn't have to do anything, but have you tried sleeping with earplugs and/or a white noise generator?
Yes, I tried earplugs but am a side-sleeper and am just not comfortable with them. I purchased a white-noise machine with nature sounds. I used it last night. It drowns out some noises, but it's not enough to drown out theirs.

Yes, I've read that and also his other possible out-of-wedlock son, Michael Lindsay-Hogg. Don't know if it's true, but look at the photos. Striking similarities. Oh, that Orson!

Does anyone want to say what the rumor is that they are talking about. I only knew one of Welles children, and that was Rebecca.
We are now in Vancouver.

There was an article on yahoo News yesterday detailing the history of the film "The Last Starfighter"
https://www.yahoo.com/movies/the-last-starfighter-sequel-118964499732.html
It mentions the cast album of the musical, though in passing, just two paragraphs.
We are now in Vancouver.
Well great, DR Dan M!
Maybe you can single-handedly clean up the morass that is the current state of broadcast television!
I am now a Nielsen family!
Signing was VERY well attended - extra chairs needed, and I don't really know what we'd have done with the other eight people who were "absolutely" coming for sure, positively. People never cease to amaze me. I read two chapters (carefully chosen and in chapter one I stopped before the actual plot point kicked in in the last two pages. The other chapter I read that I knew folks would enjoy was the drive Adriana has with her mother with her mother waxing nostalgic for the lost Sunset Strip and Westwood. I answered questions, yakked for a bit, signed and a LOT of cake was consumed.
And just where is Mr TCB? Can I call him in a post and he'll show up?

Congrats! How does one actually become a "Nielsen family"?

Best wishes for happiness in your new home DR Jane! :)

thanks. If they rent to an older adult I don't think there'd be a problem.
DanM - when do you need to be in Parker?
Unfortunately it's off for now. Since I have a phobia about the bus and there were no other alternatives, I had to speak with my friends about my issue. I feel really bad and I didn't want them to think of me as an ingrate. I still feel very appreciative of their going to the trouble of getting the ticket to the event for me. Luckily and thankfully the ticket won't go to waste. My friends have a niece who is a huge fan of George Noory and Coast to Coast, so she will be able to use the ticket. I did want to go and spend some time out there, to catch up with them all. And to see my kitty, Minny.
Maybe another time soon, I hope. There's just not that many affordable public ways to travel there from Tucson.
Welcome home, Jane!
Home sweet home :)
Congratulations!!!
So exciting DR JANE!!!

Don't know. Just showed up in the mailbox today. But I'm such an atypical TV viewer (radio is also rated). I never followed the herd and never will. Name any big trend, fad or music group, chances are I don't, won't and will not.

I didn't know who the guy in the picture on the top is, so I was wondering what the rumor was. I was thinking that the rumor was that they we're lovers ;) ...again, not knowing who the other guy is.
That Day We Sang, by Victoria Wood, is a musical set in Manchester, 1969. It’s the story of Tubby & Enid, two lonely middle-aged people who grab a second chance at life, reconnected by the power of music. They meet at a reunion of the Manchester Children’s Choir who made the iconic Columbia recording of Nymphs and Shepherds in 1929.
Tubby and Enid’s faltering romance is interweaved with the story of Jimmy, a member of the choir whose love of singing transcends his difficult home life.
As we go between Tubby and Jimmy, their stories collide, and they must somehow find each other.
