Well, you've read the notes, the notes were brought to you by, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - the cows are brought to you by Phillips' Milk of MOOgnesia tablets.

Finally!!  Comcast had an outage yesterday, starting sometime after about 4:30 pm until about an hour ago.  I had no interwebs AND no TV (I've been up in my bedroom watching a DVD and burning DVDs of shows that I had recorded).  It all seems to be up and runnung, now...and it's way past my bedtime.  I'll have to ketchup on all of yesterday's posts later today.

Good morning, all!

I had to use the local Staples copy center this morning. It's not cheap, but they've so far been able to accomplish my photocopy reductions, scan and email them, and we'll see soon how they fare with printing them.  Since trhe place is always packed, I figured the sooner i got there and accomplished things after they open at 7:30am, the better.

We're in for more wet weather today, so I may stay in and work, rather than hit the NYPL.  Tonight, I have to see at Birdland a reading of MERMAN'S APPRENTICE, written by my friends Stephen Cole and David Evans.

Monday morning greetings!  It's "crunch time" for me in terms of getting ready to leave for California in 48 hours.  Some AAUW loose ends to tie up, some emails to send, and - oh, yeah - some packing.  And a visit with Mom...

Good morning, all.

Got up early then went back to bed for a little more sleep, and ended up with one of the most epic of epic crazy dreams...out of which I am more than happy to be.

This one even included needing coffee.  So...guess what.

Vibes for a smooth move today, DR Jane!

My friend Karen is also moving today from our local hospital to a rehab facility somewhat north of here.  She's coming along nicely, but has a long road of rehab ahead of her.

Thanks Ginny.  I am sure your day will be far more hectic than ours.  We have an early check out here and don't know when we can check in.  Since the new hotel is in downtown Vancouver, not too far from the condo, waiting shouldn't be a big inconvenience.

Today is the birthday of one of the greatest musical arrangers and orchestrators, Robert Russell Bennett.

My introduction to Mr. Bennett was in 5th grade, my teacher fancied himself a singer and he would play Broadway cast records during study time. His favorite was the soundtrack to VICTORY AT SEA. No one ever dared challenge him. He was a WWII vet, a SeaBee, but he was really a softee inside. Outside though he was like the old Robert Conrad commercials, tough fireplugs.

Since I've only heard old, scratchy recordings, I couldn't tell, but was Toscanini all that? Or has the legend grown greater than the truth?

There are some conductors I don't like. I know that Ormandy has lots of bona fides, but for me the Philadelphia sound under his direction was too syrupy, too schmaltzy. Not being a pro musician I know I may be out of my depth.

I did have some good news at the hospital yesterday, not sure if I shared it.  The three trips I take after the initial emergency room visit are not emergency room visits.  I am considered a "series patient"   I'm not sure what that means insurance wise, but I shouldn't have to pay the $350 emergency room copay for each shot

Well, I must be going.  Theater Artists Olympia is having our monthly board meeting (a week late) and I need to be there.

Until later!

Really would rather not be going to this meeting tonight, but since I'm the rabble rouser who's been pushing for it for two months I guess I should.  This has to do with Equity trying to shut down the 99-seat theater code that's been in existence for a very long time.

Jane,my in laws are sharing with one another.  Every other place they checked would have put them each in a single room on different floors this is like a little hotel suite. With their own sitting room, full bath and bedroom,  they have no kitchenette unfortunately  but they say it's very nice

Finally!!  Comcast had an outage yesterday, starting sometime after about 4:30 pm until about an hour ago.  I had no interwebs AND no TV (I've been up in my bedroom watching a DVD and burning DVDs of shows that I had recorded).  It all seems to be up and runnung, now...and it's way past my bedtime.  I'll have to ketchup on all of yesterday's posts later today.

I hope that doesn't happen too often.  We will be connecting to Comcast soon.

This is the first time in a very long time (at least, that I can remember) where we had a major outage that wasn't related to a wintertime or snow incident.  It all seems to be okay now.

Was it windy up there?  I'm glad it isn't a common occurrence.

I did have some good news at the hospital yesterday, not sure if I shared it.  The three trips I take after the initial emergency room visit are not emergency room visits.  I am considered a "series patient"   I'm not sure what that means insurance wise, but I shouldn't have to pay the $350 emergency room copay for each shot

Whew!  That's very good news, Cillaliz!

Sure is.  I wish DR Dan had some like it.

Nope.  It turns out, it was an RV that caught on fire:  Olympia motor home fire injures 1, knocks out ‘Game of Thrones’ (http://www.theolympian.com/2015/06/15/3775765_motorhome-fire-injures-one-causes.html).

Meeting was fine.  Too much yakking and following Robert's Rules of Order, but good energy and some very positive stuff.  I have been pushing for this meeting to happen for the past eight weeks.  I have been relentless about it on the Pro-99 Facebook page.  The leaders of the group castigated me, made light of me, said a meeting would never happen for security reasons, but in the end way too many people agreed with me that some transparency was needed right about now.  When they saw they ware losing the battle they actually lied and said the only reason a meeting hadn't happened was because no one had organized.  I think you can imagine that I was not letting that lie stand - then the leaders all tried to rewrite history and say they weren't really the leaders, when there'd been a vote early on making them the leaders, which they'd accepted.  But several folks came up to me and said that this never would have happened without me, even though others took on the task of organizing it - and they're right.  I was a rabble-rouser.  I wasn't even invited to the meeting at first because a couple of people, including one of the leaders thought I was going to be a loose cannon and a troublemaker.  When I found out about that I think you can also imagine the fireworks I caused.  I had people calling me, PMing me, and I told them that since I was completely responsible for the meeting happening that it was rather foolish to then try and keep me out.  A few people had my back and I was invited.  And the joke, of course, was I didn't really even speak - just listened.  And the ONLY time I spoke was when one of the leaders who would like you to think she's not really a leader made a point about not posting inflammatory remarks about people on the other side, you know personal put-downs, which I agree with.  But this woman has been horrible with me from the beginning.  I PMd her early on in this thing trying to straighten out a point she was incorrect about - and instead of replying privately via PM she replied publicly on the page, which I found really bad form.  I called her on it, and ever since she's done nothing but attempt to deride me and minimize everything I post.  Well, just seeing her in person told me everything I needed to know about her - and she's the one person in that room of about thirty, who didn't come up and introduce themselves.

I've only been in a Walmart a few times.  Looking at their website, they do have good prices.  I'll keep them in mind.
