Interesting. That original LP was one of the holiest of grails among audiophiles for years, and you couldn't find a good copy for less than a king's ransom. As one who never possessed a king's ransom, and who came too late to Kritzerland to get the CD, I remain depraved on account of I'm deprived.

Post by: Ginny on August 21, 2015, 07:45:36 AM: The fruit cones were a big hit. My friend Betty brought peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream to go with it and some people put a scoop of ice cream on top of the cones. I hadn't thought of that!

The book we read/movie we watched was Still Alice. It's a frightening story about early-onset Alzheimer's and Julianne Moore's Oscar-winning performance was excellent. We weren't so thrilled with Alec Baldwin as her husband.

Post by: George on August 21, 2015, 11:28:26 AM: Topic of the Day:

In my CD player at work: the original Broadway cast recording of The Visit (http://castalbums.org/recordings/Visit-The-2015-Original-Broadway-Cast/29367/), with a score by John Kander and Fred Ebb, AND the original Vienna cast recording to Der Besuch Der Alten Dame (http://castalbums.org/recordings/Der-Besuch-Der-Alten-Dame-2014-Original-Vienna-Cast/27965) with music by Michael Reed and Moritz Schneider, and lyrics by Wolfgang Hofer. This show is also a musical version of "The Visit." The CD is the entire show, which is pretty cool. It's very different than the Kander and Ebb score. The music is very modern and, of course, not in English, so I have no idea what the heck they're singing about. I've listened to it once and so far I like it.

Sorry to hear this. Do you think it's ragweed? I used to feel horrible during ragweed season when I lived in the East. Since returning to California my allergies have been minimal--until a couple weeks ago. I'd been told that California doesn't have ragweed, but we DO! It could be a particularly bad season.

There's a lethargy in the office today. Feels like moving through molasses. Maybe it's a Benedryl hangover. But other people are feeling it, too.

Sorry to hear this. Do you think it's ragweed? I used to feel horrible during ragweed season when I lived in the East. Since returning to California my allergies have been minimal--until a couple weeks ago. I'd been told that California doesn't have ragweed, but we DO! It could be a particularly bad season.

It could be ragweed. Dragweed is more like it. And I don't mean in a RuPaul kinda way.

I read that the sequel to the GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO series will be released soon. The new author is a Swedish journalist and novelist. Will anyone here be reading it?

Of course. I'm curious, but it could be just like "Go Set a Watchman," the ending of which was a real letdown.

I've never known so many people having surgery. My friend Jan just had surgery and will have a second, small one soon. She'll go with me to my first eye surgery. Then her husband will have a hip replacement. Sheesh!

Vibes for all of you.

I just finished "To Kill a Mockingbird" and have started a book that a friend recommended. As soon as I've finished that, I'll read "Go Set a Watchman."
