In the dream that seened endless, I was looking at rental spaces with my mother and my Aunt Jenny, perhaps a few cousins and my brother Randy. The landlady who was showing us spaces seemed to be a bit dishonest. I remember checking out the large back yard of one space, which was a lot like my grandmother's back yard in the late 1940s when I lived there as a child.

At one point, i got stranded on a second floor platform when the stairs disconnected and, being a gimp, I needed help getting down. My mother, as usual, was no help, and the landlady kept the stair unit steady for me to come down.

Anybody remember the actor Steve Cochran? He did a lot of movies with Virginia Mayo. I started watching him in Antonioni's Il Grido (Outcry) last night. His performance is amazing.

So, I read on imdb about him afterwards and his death sounds like the basis of a good script. He died from an untreated lung infection while on his yacht with an all-woman crew. The women didn't know how to run the ship after he died, and it foundered for a week until they were rescued.

Thirty years ago today, the shuttle crashed. Something else happened that day.

I was a reporter at a small daily in upstate New York and our publisher got arrested. He was found filming a porn scene with him, his best friend and the general manager of the local radio station all enjoying one of the local ladies of the evening. Drugs were confiscated from the scene, the police told us.

He refused to let us publish anything about it, which was demoralizing. He also had so much dirt on the local police force that by the time he was finished, the only charge against him was solicitation, a misdemeanor.

He eventually inherited the newspaper, sold it, squandered his money, woke up, changed his life around and ended up selling shoes.

I've been killing myself working out how best to render some of the passages in this song about some trombones, using the new improved MTI score.  Then I decided to take a look back at the old Frank Music published score, and...the light went on.  These are high school dancers, fer crying out loud, and that's what they're getting.  They don't need it fancier than that.  Cuts out half the page turns, too.  (I have ForScore on the iPad -- a concession to the 21st Century -- but I haven't put a pedal to it yet.) 

Hey, at least they're getting the drum break and all, thanks to my brilliance. 

I'll pound it out and send it over tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow morning I will be attending the sneak preview grand re-opening of the main library branch downtown. It has been closed for 3 months for major renovations. It is a grand old building, exactly what you think a building should look like when you think of a grand old-fashioned library building. I am invited because I participate in a weekly community outreach event for the homeless.

The shuttle crashing is one of those moments that everyone I've ever talked to about it remembers exactly where they were and what they were doing...at the moment when they heard about it, and in watching it later.

I was getting ready to go to class in law school and watching the shuttle take off on my black and white tv with the rotary dial and no remote.  I went to class in a daze and no one really believed what I was telling them

I have a ton of deadlines at work and must work like crazy tomorrow so I can visit all the rings of the political circus over the weekend.   I have the "free" tickets to everything except Hillary. I've seen her before. She's always the same. The following will be here Rand Paul - may go just for fun, Ted Cruz - will probably skip, he totally creeps me out, Jeb Bush, may go because it's at a nice bar overlooking the river during Friday happy hour, Chris Christie - think I want to see him once more.   And then the biggies, Hillary at the convention center and the Donald at the Orpheum 4 blocks away.  Not sure if I'll go to either.  Just depends on how into the circus I am tat the time

I am also volunteering to dip apples for the Humane Society on Sunday.  They dip these giant apples in chocolate, caramel and other good stuff and sell them every year.  Last year they sold 13,000 apples.  So, it takes lots of volunteers a week to dip them all. I'm volunteering as a Rotary member. Since it's from 2-4, I won't get out in time to see Hillary, even if I wanted to and may not be in time to see Trump as the doors open at 4 and his events fill up right away

I'm not worried about that, but some of the animals really can damage the house etc, so they need to move on. And if they try to have young in the spring, they will get eaten by the hawk. So.....they'll have to get dinner somewhere else

Oh, the other thing that's new is that they replaced all the fluorescent bulbs in the office with LED bulbs.  They are so bright they give me headaches.  So now I'm working by the light of a few table lamps.  It's too dark and I need to get a floor lamp or two, but it's really kind of soothing and my head doesn't hurt anymore

My landlord made it sound like I just have to get used to it.  Jerk.  They could do a couple different alterations to make it a little dimmer in my office, take out a couple bulbs or rewire one switch so I can shut it off, but apparently I'm not too high on their priority list.  Maybe that's for the best

Mom had a family of raccoons living in her attic.  One night she was so tired of hearing them she went outside in her night gown and yelled up at the house for them to be quiet.  I really wish I could have heard that. They were later trapped and released and the house repaired.  Then next summer she had a family of some sort of animal living under a room at the lake, lol.   They also had to be trapped and removed.  This is part of the reason I'm nipping this in the bud
