We did find an exceptionally nice ice cream store.  I rarely like chocolate because it isn't rich and flavorable enough for me.  The sugar cone and the chocolate ice cream were delicious.  Keith equally enjoyed his strawberry cheesecake.

DR ChasSmith, did you find anything remotely of interest at your Convent sale?

I did buy one book of music, "Cy Coleman's Broadway Show Stoppers".  Because it was there, and it was a buck.  There was literally no other music worth anything -- unless you needed some John Thompson courses for piano or a torn copy of the G. Schirmer "Messiah".  Oddly, there was a Kalmus full score of "The Rite of Spring".  Those nuns, man.  Go figure.

And a few records -- an absolutely mint copy of Max Steiner scores conducted by Charles Gerhardt, one in that series I'd never picked up, and an "Othello" on Caedmon.

I'm enjoying Acorn TV. I read some years ago about a satellite dish that could pick up the Canadian stations from many US locations. Canadians have GREAT TV. A friend in Ottawa can pick up both TVOntario, a PBS-like station, as well as a NY PBS station. So many fine offerings! But as there are only so many hours in the day, I expect to do nicely with Acorn. They don't just have British shows; they also have the New Zealand BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES, which I like to watch for the settings as much as the plots.

The realtor, who we know, sent out postcards to the neighborhood and told us that sometimes she has a by-invitation open house for the neighbors.  This wasn't that, but she asked that we talk it up.  It's a nice house that the current owners have updated quite a bit:

The digitized copy of my arrangement of "The Dreidle Song" just landed for proofreading, so I have something else to work on tomorrow.  It looks pretty good.

But other than the torrential rains and the chilly air blowing through the open-air theater without letup, it was great to watch their first run-through in costume.

So, tonight I'm picking the gang up at Westchester County Airport.  The flight was supposed to be taking off this very minute and landing at 11:30.  Flights are getting delayed right and left, and they haven't even boarded yet.  Methinks it's going to be a long night.

Sunday afternoon greetings!  Since we did our Sunday thing on Saturday, we're enjoying a leisurely day at home.  Sometime between 1 and 3 we'll walk over to see the house on the southwest corner of the intersection we can see from our living room.  Not interested in moving, just being nosy neighbors...

Nosy is ok 😊


LOL, this sort-of reminds me of this Time Warner "What are the neighbors doing at our open house?"  commercial

The realtor, who we know, sent out postcards to the neighborhood and told us that sometimes she has a by-invitation open house for the neighbors.  This wasn't that, but she asked that we talk it up.  It's a nice house that the current owners have updated quite a bit:

10 Alamo Road (http://www.coldwellbankerhomes.com/oh/middletown/10-alamo-road/pid_12350941/)



$139,000?!!

I should move to Ohio

Well, Middletown, anyway.  This same house in adjacent communities (with better schools and images) would be a lot more.  We live in a house in Middletown that we couldn't begin to afford in more upscale communities.

I'm enjoying Acorn TV. I read some years ago about a satellite dish that could pick up the Canadian stations from many US locations. Canadians have GREAT TV. A friend in Ottawa can pick up both TVOntario, a PBS-like station, as well as a NY PBS station. So many fine offerings! But as there are only so many hours in the day, I expect to do nicely with Acorn. They don't just have British shows; they also have the New Zealand BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES, which I like to watch for the settings as much as the plots.

Are those available on disc? I'll have to check the library for those.

Jacques Pepin -- or "Jack Peppin," as the announcer called him in his best Texas voice -- was wonderful. He's a charming raconteur with a great approach to cooking. He was with his daughter, Claudine, who was also a delight. During the coarse of their 95-minute talk, they downed a bottle of rose' between the two of them. I wish I had had a glass of that.
