Well, you've read the notes, the notes were lovelier than lovely, and now it is time for you to post until the lovelier than lovely cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: ISONOMY!
-
I rarely go back and read posts later in the day, but sometimes I remember to go back days later and see what was said. I finally got around to reading posts from March 5th.
I, too, was taught to clean my plate. When I first started trying to lose weight last year, I got a package of leftover containers from Smart and Final and snuck them into restaurants. When my food arrived, I immediately split it in half before I even started eating. Thus, I would always leave a clean plate. Now sometimes, I sheepishly ask the waiter to bring me a to-go container when he brings our food and I just wait for it before I start eating. If I tried to just eat only half after the food arrived, that wouldn't work. It tasted too good and I couldn't stop eating.
Mark keeps bugging me to go back and find the post where Bruce says he couldn't find parking at the bank, therefore he's moving to Sherman Oaks. WTF?!
-
First post after DR Amy!
-
First morning post!
-
good morning to all
-
Good morning, all.

BK, congrats on the lovely day yesterday.
We all need a greater percentage of days like that in our lives.

TOD:
I grew up in Seattle; lived there until I graduated from the UW at 22.
When I was old enough, I spent all my Saturdays (and some Sundays) in Seattle's downtown movie theaters. They were large, beautiful, ornate houses and, as I understand it, virtually all of them are gone now. [I haven't been back to Seattle since 2004 and I really have no plans to return.]
The most memorable of these theaters was the Orpheum, which (I believe) was built as a vaudeville house. I saw many wonderful movies there, as well as many National Companies of Broadway plays. A large hotel replaced the Orpheum years ago.
The Seattle that I remember no longer exists. :(
-
Howdy, Everybody!!
-
Good morning, all!
I still feel queasy. I hope it's a passing "bug" and that I am not really getting sick. I've been rather lucky this past winter, but everyone at physical therapy was either sick or just getting over something.
-
I am fighting a urge to return to bed and stay there for a month or so.
-
If I get motivated, I must get to the post office and to the market.
-
Feel Better and Up and At 'Em vibes for DR Elmore!
-
Good morning, all.
-
Good morning.

Feel Better and Up and At 'Em vibes for DR Elmore!
Thanks! I am now dressed, so I guess I will go to the post office and market. The urge to return to bed is mighty strong, though. I cannot stop yawning.
-
My cough seems to be ALMOST gone....we shall see how today goes.
It is nice and warm and sunny here this morning......thunderstorms later this week, but that's okay.
-
Continued INDIEGO vibes for MR BK and of course show vibes for MR BK & Co.
Fun videos in the notes. Glad the bent check finally arrived.
-
Most of the buildings in my small town are still around. Their facades have been updated.....a very few new buildings in town to be sure.

The corner in 1910.

I have requested a container for food splitting at the beginning of a meal. I have done that more offten for desset, just taking a couple of bites and then putting it away for the next day or two.
-
Even better is handing the leftover dessert for someone else to take home.
-
Nice then andnow pic DR Jrand.
-
Feel Better and Up and At 'Em vibes for DR Elmore!
Ditto!

I guess the new cast recording of Fiddler on the Roof will have the Motel and Tzeitel singing "Dear, Sweet Sewing Machine." From the reaction in Playbill.com, you'd think it was the very first recording.
-
Feel Better and Up and At 'Em vibes for DR Elmore!
Ditto!
Thanks! I suspect I may actually be coming down with a cold, which would be my first in a couple of years, thanks to a lot of zinc and vitamin-C. I hope it's not my therapist's walking pneumonia!
-
Indiegogo vibes.
Health vibes for Elmore, Ginny, ChasSmith and everyone else suffering
-
I'm ushering what should be a fun concert tonight: Mavis Staples with Nick Lowe.
-
Two!
-
For the show!
-
Happy Tuesday, all and one.
-
Although which one I cannot single out.

Network television has gone to hell, and it wasn't in any stinking hand basket. No sir! A great big HUGE semi backed up and loaded what used to be "entertainment" and drove it away.
-
I watched all 10 episodes of Amazon's "The Man in the High Castle" over the weekend.
I thought it was well done for the most part and some of the performances are exceptional. Well, actually...Rufus Sewell is superb. Others are really good, chief among them being Luke Kleintank and Rupert Evans. (The female lead seemed somnambulistic to me...as non-charismatic a performer as I've ever seen in a leading role).
I remember having read this Philip K. Dick novel way back when...30 or 40 years ago. Oddly, though, the story unfolds in a way that I couldn't relate to.
Now I know why....they've pulled an "Under the Dome" on us: That means they've "based" the presentation on the Dick novel but they have altered plot devices and characters and character relationships.
Bottom line: In the name of entertainment (and stretching out a one-season story into two seasons), the "writers" have "re-written" Dick's story to serve their own ends. They've indicated the second season will wrap things up, so I will watch that, as well.
What's next?
-
Who goosed the moose?
-
I spent an hour or two last night listening to CDs. First time in a VERY LONG TIME that I have done that.
Among the musical delights: The Fifth Dimension, Carly Simon, Anthony Warlow and the soundtrack to "Return to Oz".
Facilitating my diversion is my new Bose Soundwave IV....very easy to us and surprisingly excellent sound.

Tuesday morning greetings! I've been to the AAUW book sale site to deliver several boxes of books and assorted other items. My friends wouldn't let me stay to work - sorting and pricing - because they said I didn't need to be around all that dust. They had plenty of workers, so I've come home to do some computer work on their behalf.

At the Cheesecake Factory, I always order dessert in a to-go container. A few bites at a time is all you need and I can make a slice of their cheesecake last 2 or 3 days.

The problem with the Cheesecake Factory is we only eat there when traveling. If I order the cake I eat most of it since I can't take the leftover home.

Last night on GET TV - the episode of the The Judy Garland Show they showed was one of the later ones. Judy sang ALONE for more than half of the show. Then Vic Damone came on and did a song....then Judy and Vic did some duets....then Judy closed the show.
It was a great format for her - too bad so many of the early episodes were following a formula that worked for others but not for her. By this time, she was already on the way out....
We then had The Jim Nabors special....his first for CBS.....which was fun. Then an episode of The Merv Griffin Show featuring the wives of stars modeling fashions. First one wife came on in the original, then another wife came on in the same dress made from a Vogue Pattern.....
Dolly Read (Mrs. Dick Martin) and Kitty Franciscus (Mrs. James Franciscus), Mrs. Dean Martin - the young blonde girl and a woman whose name I didn't get....an older blonde, Clint Eastwood's first wife - Rosemarie Bowe (Mrs. Robert Stack), Larraine Stephens (Mrs. David Gerber), Candy Spelling (Mrs. Aaron Spelling) and Altovise Davis (Mrs. Sammy Davis, Jr).
Interesting.....I didn't know Larraine was married to a producer, Altovise talked mostly about how much Sammy loved her and how important she was to his career, Dolly tried to be funny and sexy, the young Mrs. Dean Martin smoked all the time and talked about how "legal" problems prevented her marriage for many years....it was a strange episode.
-
Thanks DR JANE....the facades change, but most things are pretty much the same. Of course the tenants in the buildings also change regularly.
-
TOD - Detroit, not the town where I was born, but where I grew up. In the fall of 1962, the Ford Rotunda burned to the ground and in 1998 the downtown J. L. Hudson department store was imploded. Both structures were iconic and very much a part of my childhood and adolescence.

I was annoyed you didn't ask someone to pick them up from you ;)
-
LOL, DR Jane! I'm getting a little stir-crazy, especially today because it's beautiful and very spring-like.
-
Greetings from Oberhausen, Germany! It's not one of the prettiest cities I've seen.
-
I was so happy I was able to check in to my hotel right away. I arrived between 9 and 10 am and checkin is usually 3 pm.
-
The largest shopping mall in Germany is basically across the street. I walked over to see it. Nothing unusual as far as I could tell. I also walked to the Metronom Theater, where Phantom is playing. I decided I was too tired to see it tonight.
-
Indiegogo vibes.
Health vibes for Elmore, Ginny, ChasSmith and everyone else suffering
From me too!

TOD: it's before my time, but the destruction of the Larkin Building in Buffalo is mourned to this day. The architect was Frank Lloyd Wright.

From me too!
I'm happy you got there safely! Where's the city? How's the weather?
-
I'm up, I'm up. Trying not to have allergy problems. I got almost eight hours of sleep and then had a long telephonic conversation. Two contributions this morning but they didn't take us beyond 89%.
-
~~~All Kinds of Vibes for All Hainesies and Kimlets!!~~~
:D
-
I finally did pull myself together and get to market. I now have a lot of veggies in the fridge and apples on the table. I'll walk over to the corner bodega in a bit and pick up a dozen eggs and water.
-
Travel vibes for KevinH.

Let's move on.

Three!

Just a little funny for the afternoon.
I laughed. I hope some of you do/did, too.
-
Humor being subjective, of course....

Like just about everything else, that is.

Yup.

That was pretty funny.
-
We have had sunshine and temps in the 70's today. That's all right with me.
-
Let's hope no one groaned.
-
Well, I need to leave work now and run a few errands before the Theater Artists Olympia board meeting later this afternoon. I didn't do before what I needed to have done tonight, so I need to do NOW what I should've done...but I need to do it at home.
Be back later.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
Hello, Jeanne!
-
I enjoyed the video clips in the Notes. Snacks is a really cute song. I left for my doctor's appointment with it going through my head. Too much listening of said song, though, MAY make one hungry for a snack.
-
Let's hope no one groaned.
No groaning allowed, of course.
-
Hello, Ron.
I enjoyed your posts today.
-
I was feeling somewhat nauseated this morning, but, happily, my "back" treatment also got rid of the nausea. Yay! I'm taking it easy this afternoon. I can tell I have a bug.
-
So, health vibes to all!
-
I'll add my two cents on the DOWNTON finale. I found it quite satisfying. I suspect that is partly because the writers knew this would be the last season, unlike many shows whose plug is pulled mid-season. They had the time to wrap everything up nicely. And did so.
-
I continue to receive letters from the IRS (federal and state), saying I owe them more money. And more money. And more money. Sheesh! The first one I was able to figure out. (They were correct. Sigh.) I now must pull out the return again and try to make sense of #2 and #3. Honestly!!

JRand, is this typical downtown Mooresville, ie small scale and a quaint feel? I like it. I'd like to see more commercial districts like it.
-
TOD:
Well, I miss the Big Donut. Not exactly an architectural wonder, but it was FUN! There's a Goodwill store there now.
The building that housed a 5-and-10 variety store that my mother often took me to when I was a little girl now houses an Indian restaurant, which I've been to many, many, many times. Somehow, that evolution feels right.
-
I've been taking home doggie bags not just for left-overs, but as part of a plan for decades. I have no problem just eating half. BK can attest to the fact that I'm not a big eater.
-
TTFN.
-
LOL, DR Jane! I'm getting a little stir-crazy, especially today because it's beautiful and very spring-like.
Well, if the weather is nice and you keep from getting a chill, then I think it is ok to go outside.
-
Greetings from Oberhausen, Germany! It's not one of the prettiest cities I've seen.
I am excited for you and hope there will be photos.

It is always a treat when you can check in early like that.

Went on a solo trip to the grocery this afternoon. Richard hadn't been letting me drive for fear I'd have a coughing paroxysm and drive into someone's living room. Those events have subsided almost completely.
It's so nice here I drove home with the sunroof open!
-

I'm glad your treatment helped.
-
I too was a bit nauseated today. I felt better once we stopped circling, and circling up and down the parking lot looking for a spot.
-
We met a friend in Portland and had a delicious lunch at Mother's Bistro. The waitress was such a hoot our friend inquired if we can request her in the future. We can.
-
I figured the answer was yes since we have requested favorite wait staff at other restaurants.

Excellent news and it sounds like a lovely drive.

Good evening!
-
Greetings, Vixmom!
-
It was a pretty day in Tacoma today.
-
Sunny, but not terribly warm.
-
We are going to have a few showers overnight.
-
But the big rainstorm is due late tomorrow afternoon.
-
Things are looking better for the weekend.
-
Hopefully spring is just around the corner.
-
And Daylight Savings Time is almost here.
-
I guess Vixmom went to bed.
-
Jane, I won't know about the iPad keyboard until later tonight when I get ready for bed.
-
Good luck.
-
I usually only use it when I go on a cruise.
-
But it is always good to make sure it is working.
-
I have been really lazy the last few days.
-
I did, at least, get out of the house both days, but that was about it.
-
I was hoping I would hear from Sandy tonight, but I am sure he has a lot to think about.
-
Maybe tomorrow.
-
Old Actor's Lunch tomorrow.
-
We are going to the waterfront. Hopefully it will be clear.
-
One more post
-
Five!!
-
Greetings, 1 Guest!
-
Come on in, I am not leaving.
-
Times have changed,
-
And we've often rewound the clock,
-
Since the Puritans got a shock,

When they landed on Plymouth Rock,
-
I was hoping I would hear from Sandy tonight, but I am sure he has a lot to think about.
I thought maybe he was using you as a sounding boad. Did anyone go with him to his doctor visits?

His son was going with him.
-
People come, people go.
-
I'm sorry.
-
I just don't have anything to say.
-
Mavis Staples and Nick Lowe were excellent tonight. Small crowd, but very appreciative. She's in her late 70s and she has more stamina than I do.
-
A storm is rolling in, so I'm going to head off to bed.
-
A storm is also brewing at the dance studio I go to and I feel as if I'm being pulled in the middle of it all. Ugh.
-
Good night, all.
-

Actually, he has two sons. One lives in Seattle and the other lives on the East Coast
-
By sheer coincidence, his other son just happened to be in town visiting when Sandy received his diagnosis.
-
All 5 Guests left at the same time.
-
Weird! It must be past their bedtimes.
-
I am home...finally. :)
-
After leaving work early, I got a couple of gift certificates for one of my staff whose brother died a couple of weeks ago.
-
Page five? Really?
-
Back from a wonderful show and more in the notes about THAT.
-
We used to have dues that paid for such things, but no one wanted to pay the dues anymore, so each department does their own thing for bereavements.
-
And we're at 92% funded and we need less than $1000 now - puuuuuush.
-
SIX!!
-
After getting the gift cards, I rushed back home so I could put together the treasurer's report for TAO's monthly board meeting.
-
I must confess that I procrastinated and didn't get it done sooner, which s the main reason that I left work early.
-
After the board meeting, I met my friend David and his
girlfriend wife (they got married last October and didn't tell me!), and we went to see "Son of Saul (http://olympiafilmsociety.org/son-of-saul/)" at the Olympia Film Society.
-
Talk about intense!
-
Before the movie, we met at a local diner called King Soloman's Reef, otherwise known as The Reef.
-
I had their mac-and-cheese dinner that came with a salad and a biscuit. It was a little pricey, but quite good. Next time, I'll just have the snack mac-and-cheese, which doesn't have the salad or the biscuit...and it's $4 cheaper.

But is it the same size serving of Mac-and-cheese?
-
The movie definitely deserved the Academy Award for best foreign film. The xamera was pretty much up close on the lead actor the entire film. We figured that the whole movie shows what happens to Saul just over a day at a concentration camp in Nazi Germany.

I don't know, but my friend's wife thinks it looked like the size of the snack bowl that she got before.

Hey, today's (Wednesday's) Google Doodle (https://www.google.com/?fpdoodle=1&doodle=25557421&hl=en&nord=1) is a theremin!
