Well, you've read the notes, the notes remembered Garry Marshall, and now it is time for you to post until the remembered cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: DOCTRINAIRE!
-
First post after BK!
-
That was a lovely remembrance of Gary Marshall, BK.
-
And a Happy Birthday to (former) DR Miss Karen!
-
Now, it's time for bed.
Have a good day, all!
-
Great notes today and a lovely tribute.
-
Happy birthday to Karen if she's reading this.
-
DR Vixmom I browsed toaster ovens. I prefer the look of a toaster, and it is easier to keep in a cabinet. We are still deciding. The local ger we go without an oven the more appealing a toaster oven is.
-
Nice memories in the notes today.
-
Good morning, all!
-
BK, that was a lovely memoir about Garry Marshall.
-
I am home today. I do need to step out to market at some point, but there are several deliveries I must be here for.
-
If I mis the Fed Ex, it's impossible to retrieve it.
-
I need coffee!
-
Good morning, all.
-
Got a couple of hours to relax before heading to the dentist.
-
Glad to hear Nicky got to the doc okay yesterday.
-
I guess it was only a matter of time before they moved from the gays, blacks, and Muslims.

Vibes for NICKY and DR TCB.
On Friday, Precious is going in to get her yearly shots.....our vet let's us stay with our doggies while he does it.....so it's not much of an ordeal. She hates to ride in the car, but it's just a short drive.
-
We have Texas Toast in the Frozen Section of our grocery store....we have it now and then.
-
I very much enjoyed MR BK's notes about Garry Marshall....and the clip. I remember that episode well.
In these days, I don't think young folks can imagine how BIG and POPULAR those two shows were.....Millions of viewers every week....huge ratings....the top two shows for several years.....
-
Laverne & Shirley was number two after Happy Days in 76-77, and then was NUMBER ONE for the next two years....
-
Wednesday morning greetings! Richard and I have already been to 2 appointments - one for Project Mom and the other his chiropractor visit. I have a little time to putter here at home before I meet Becky for lunch at Panera and shopping at Barnes & Noble.
-
Sorry to hear about Garry Marshall.
-
From DR John G last night:
"They haven't been as careful keeping up payments and things they way they should."
That's often your first clue. You have my heartiest vibes as you paddle into these waters.
-
I'm up, I'm up - was up at ten after seven hours of sleep.

Page ONE? Really?

???
I have never had a vet that didn't let us stay during the shots. Same goes for blood work.
-
I swear I saw an email from my brother and now I can't find it. Before I write for him to send it again I'll ask Keith if I'm imagining things or not ;D
-
Good afternoon.
-
Woo hoo! Page 2!
-
I should have taken my camera with me this morning. I saw a cute wood rat peeking out from under a rock.
-
85 degrees with a "feels like" of 96 degrees.
Perfect night to do a show in a barn.

I found my missing email. I was looking for a 2nd email when there was only 1.

Oh, my! :o

I hate it when that happens!
-
My mylar covers arrived today. I guess tomorrow I will drag out the binder.
-
Mylar is one of my favorite words....
-
So I guess I shall get ready to go so that the stage and props can be set for the evening performance.
-
Mylar is one of my favorite words....
I always liked polyethylene.
-
Lord! A very unexpected phone call!.
-

;D
There were 2 subjects in one email and I only glanced at it this morning so my mind registered 2 emails.
-
Lord! Lady Macbeth has called.
:o
And.....
-
Back from a nice lunch with Becky and a fruitful shopping trip to Barnes and Noble. My retirement gift from the Lima congregation is the HAMILTON cast recording :)
-
Lord! Lady Macbeth has called.
:o
And.....
And... ;)
-
Lord! A very unexpected phone call!.
In my best Billie Burke voice...Was it a good call, or a bad call?
-
It was Lady Macbeth, friendly and chatty as though she and he hadn't essentially told me t go fuck myself nine years ago.
-
Page two? Really?
-
Cilla seems to have left the building - I suspect she may be gone until the election is over. Hope I'm wrong about that.
-
Had my usual salad but with turkey and no avocado, and a bagel. Depending on my jog, I'll then determine what to eat later.
-
I do not know where, if anywhere, this will go, since i am very wary, and I'm not sure exactly what was the agenda.
-
BK, Don Oliver of Chelsea Music just called me. He's working on a Broadway night benefit for the Orlando victims, and he was listening to Unsung Sondheim today for the first time in years. He wanted to tell me how much he enjoyed it, so we talked about it and you a little bit.
-

All she did was chat? I'm impressed you stayed on the phone.
-

Interesting.
-
Guess I'll attempt a jog. It was 104 today so I'm not sure how far I'll get.
-

Interesting.
There's something going on. I think she was pumping me for information about my dad's property.
-
Where is everyone?
-
I'm going to watch a bit of telly, then take a bath.
-
New page?
-
Happy Page 3 Dance!
-
Where is everyone?
I'm invoicing. Today is the cut-off for this month and I need to get these darned things done. :P
-
As I enter all the invoice information, I'm listening to the TV version of Ain't Misbehavin' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE8_MxJCsqg). :D
-
Cilla seems to have left the building - I suspect she may be gone until the election is over. Hope I'm wrong about that.
She just posted something on Facebook to the effect of I'm a Trump supporter and I can post anything pro-Trump I want here, but if you post any opposition, I will delete it.
So I unfriended her. I hated to do it.
-
Back from a two-and-a-half mile jog. Hot out there.
-
As to politics, let's just leave that to Facebook and its pundits.

Done.
-
But I'm always amused by people on Facebook who say "this is MY page." I don't think they really get Facebook. Nothing is "yours" on Facebook and if you think it is, think again. This jernt is more yours than anything on Facebook. We don't gather your information, we don't put ads in between your posts, we don't allow trolls.
-
We just watched ZOOTOPIA, which was very cute.
-
Just waiting for final confirmation regarding the show date, but it looks like we have Hal Linden for the ALS benefit.
-
We have Texas Toast in the Frozen Section of our grocery store....we have it now and then.
The Texas toast in the frozen section here is really garlic bread. This is a full loafof fresh bread but it is cut double thick and it makes the best toast
-

Cool!

Why not just unfollow during the election? She does that.

Vibes it all works out.
-
I/we have been doing a lot of walking. Today I totaled at least 14 1/2 miles. I broke it up into 3 walks.
-
If there was some way to block the words "Trump," "Hillary," and "Clinton" on Facebook, I'd sure like to know how.
-
Question for DR JohnG.:
One of the other regular hikers I see sometimes is going to bring me some nopalitos tomorrow. He said they will already be boiled. Do you have a suggestion of what to do with them? My daughter is vegetarian, but if it can be fixed without meat, she'll try it.
-
Today on my hike, a coyote howled. Immediately all the others in the area answered. I rarely see coyotes there, but, holy cow, there were LOTS of them around. They weren't very far away, either. And I couldn't see a single one.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
TCB, I'm glad you like your vet. That helps a lot.
Recovery vibes for Nicky and coping vibes for TCB.
-
Since we can't discuss politics, I have little more to say.
Except that people can't talk to one another any more. I can't talk to my cousin because her views aren't based on facts. If you point out that her information is incorrect, she doesn't care. Her views are all based on her emotions (read prejudices). I like my cousin. I've always had to avoid politics with her, but I truly question whether we can get through the next few months without it coming up. The discussion of politics is like a giant landmine. How do you sidestep something so big? I fear that many friendships will be damaged.

I hope some work comes your way as a result. And it's always nice to feel appreciated.
-
And now, it's time for me to leave work and go home, so I will.
Be back later.
-
We have Texas Toast in the Frozen Section of our grocery store....we have it now and then.
You can't make your own toast? It has to be purchased frozen?

Thank you, Ginny.

That is a wonderful recording. And that is a good reminder to take it out and play it again.

I quite like nopalitos. Here's a quick saute recipe.

Watching Myrna Loy and Warren Baxter in Broadway Bill, a not-great but entertaining Frank Capra movie.
-
It felt strange to be back at work today after a week off.
-
Tomorrow I have a training day at Fred Pryor. I think the class is on dealing with disagreeable coworkers.
-
Now I'll know how people deal with me.
-
I've set Aug. 13 as the day I set out for Louisville.
-
Google tells me the trip will be 16-17 hours.
-
With the bird in tow.
-
Should be fun.
-
Or something.
-
Gratuitous post No. 100.

Exactly.

I debated all evening and just sent Randy an email about today's phone call and wondering if he had heard from the Macbeths.

And (if I didn't say it before), I spent five and a half hours in and out of the dentist's chair today, and am exhausted from it.
And considerably poorer for it.
BUT...rather blissed out following a wonderful get-together at a neighbor's house this evening, a perfect summer evening's dally on the verandah.
-

A BIG "LIKE" FOR THIS!

What I know about Texas toast can be writ on the head of a pin, but the kind I buy here is basically, like someone else said, a double-thick sliced bread. What I've bought it for is making french toast. And baby, I make a nice french toast.
-
Thanks, JohnG.
-
Always a pleasure to be helpful, Laura.
-
Sorry to hear of your dental woes, ChasSmith. I hope there's not another dental visit in your near future.
-
I must be leaving.
-
Good night, all.
-
Good evening!
-
We finally made it to 80 degrees this summer.
-
We made it to 80 a few times this spring, but this was the first time in the summer months.
-
Usually, July is dotted with over 80 temperatures.
-
June is almost always a wash-out.
-
Of course, at this time last year we were at 95 degrees.
-
So, I won't complain about hitting 80.

Today was very weird around here.
-
First the clinic called with the good news about Nicky.
-
The staff loves him. He got through the injection without any problem.
-
He is eating and drinking water. He has also pooped and peed.
-
I didn't ask for that information, but I was happy to hear it.
-
Of course, he was still too radioactive to come home today.
-
Still, I was sure I kept hearing him around the house, and I kept thinking I saw him out of the corner of my eye.
-
I have found this particular election worse than any in history - people are behaving idiotically, mostly on one side, but plenty from the other side, too. It's what one of the candidates wanted exactly - politics turned into a reality TV show. It's disgusting and makes me want to vomit on the ground. And that's all I'm saying about that.
-
The staff will call me again in the morning between 9 and 10.
-
In the back of my mind I am thinking he will come home on Friday.
-
I have no basis in fact for that, but that is my hope.
-
BK, a very nice remembrance of Garry Marshall.
-
Audition season is in full swing in Pierce County.
-
Friends have been checking in about callbacks for Steve Martin's UNDERPANTS.
-
I understand that former DR Jed was at callbacks.
-
I know nothing about his callback, and I didn't ask.
-
I had better start looking ahead to auditions for A WONDERFUL LIFE.
-
Auditions are at the end of September.
-
Page five? Really?
-
I don't go to Facebook very much any more, because I am not interested in people pushing their politics. Expressing your opinion is different than cramming your own opinion down other people's throats. And that goes for both sides now.
-
Great news about DC Nicky!
-
I am lucky that I can quickly scroll through the political posts on FB.
-
I did not sleep much last night and am now crashing.
-
'night

Good night, Jane.

WUSSBURGERS.

It's one of my absolute all-time favorite Sondheim non-show recordings!

Dairy Queen includes Texas toast as part of their chicken strip basket. Their toast is not any bigger than regular sliced bread.

SIX!!

Yes, very good news, Tom!

Right now, I'm watching a documentary from 2013 about the annual Burning Man event.
-
I've certainly never gone, but I also really don't know much about it. It's a pretty fascinating look at what goes on behind the scenes.

It's called Spark: A Burning Man Story (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L4C8QOU/).
