Tuesday morning greetings!  It's a bee-yoo-tee-ful day here in SW Ohio - perfect for 2 visits to the local Miami University campus.  At noon I'm going to the book discussion group at the library to talk about why I only got halfway through Kate Morton's The Lake House.  Then this evening Richard and I will go to Verity Lodge to hear our friend Sam the Historian talk about "Bunny Hollow," the former park land on which the campus has sat now for 50 years.

Why did you only get halfway through the book?  I always completed books for a discussion.  Sometimes, when others didn't complete the book they would want to after the discussion.  Other times they were glad they hadn't finished reading it.

The heat was in full force overnight. 

It's my understanding that after today, the heat will lift up and be out of here headed to all points due east (including Indiana, I believe).

Tomorrow will be 10 degrees cooler....Thursday will be 20 degrees cooler.

Over the weekend, we may experience lows in the upper 40s.

DR Elmo:  I watched the whole thing on MSNBC.

Couldn't get over the split screen.   Did Trump not know that his every squint, flinch, grimace, moue, stare, glare, etc., would be on camera while Clinton was speaking?

Some folks say he likely didn't.  I think he did...and that it was deliberate but that it backfired.

So surreal, the entire thing.

Howdy, Neighbor!  Happy Harvest!
May your forty acres soon be fields of clover
Yes indeed and plant a wish with every seed and by and by
The sun and rain will make an etching
Of a million little green fingers stretching to the sky
Howdy neighbor, happy harvest
Get your rocking chairs for all your cares are over
Clap your hands and lick your chops your bumper crops are on the climb
Hey we're gonna roll in plenty spend a $5 or $10 or $20
And those happy harvest bells are gonna chime
Remember neighbor when you work for Mother Nature
You get paid by Father Time!

Just posted on Facebook by a woman who has done our shows, whose sons have seen her do our shows.  This is so blatant I can't even process it - I'm trying to bite my tongue and not respond:

"My sons, Jack Lipson and Benny Lipson have a new and exciting project I want to share with all my friends in Los Angeles! They are producing a brand new cabaret series that will feature top-notch vocalists living in Los Angeles, from the world of the Broadway Musical Theater along with host John Michael Sala, a walking encyclopedia of musical theater knowledge and trivia. This series will be presented once a month at EL CID, an historic restaurant and bar located in the heart of Silver Lake. EL CID is a happening spot in town. You can often catch Late Late Show's musical director Reggie Watts performing there. Please come and check it out! Your support is greatly appreciated. See you there on October 13!"

Yeah, that's what they say.  My variation is: Imitation is the sincerest form of imitation.  Why not do something, I don't know, ORIGINAL - you know, like I did when I began these shows six years ago.  This happened when I started producing albums - nobody was doing anything like we were doing, then suddenly EVERYONE was doing what we were doing.  And guess what happens?  You glut the market, the audience gets fractured because they can't see and support all of these things, and everyone loses.  It's so tiresome.  I just don't understand people, but this one is so blatant right down to the host and once a month that it's just sickening.

Enjoyed an incredibly beautiful drive out of Morgantown, which probably was sharing that nice SW Ohio weather.  Much of this route is very scenic, so it never has a chance to get too boring except through the I-81 stretch from Hagerstown MD to about Harrisburg PA.  It's mostly flat with nothing to look at, and the truck density is particularly annoying through that section.  But I really like most of the rest of that drive.

At noon I'm going to the book discussion group at the library to talk about why I only got halfway through Kate Morton's The Lake House

Why did you only get halfway through the book?  I always completed books for a discussion.  Sometimes, when others didn't complete the book they would want to after the discussion.  Other times they were glad they hadn't finished reading it.

DR Jane, I only got halfway through because it reminded me of the plate of seafood fettuccine alfredo I ordered in a Seattle restaurant many years ago.  The more I ate read, the more there seemed to be and I felt like it would never come to an end.  Everyone else felt the same, and I told them to "spoil away," so I learned that I had, indeed, figured out the major plot point.  They just filled in the details and now I can move on to other things I want to read.

Kate Morton is anything but a "tight" writer.

Saturday's halftime show at Michigan Stadium featured student performers from the musical theatre program:

Blue on Broadway (http://www.youtube.com/embed/vThRzKeaOes)

The announcer is Carl Grapentine, who has been the voice of the Michigan Marching Band since we were in school there together in the late '60s/early '70s.  He continues in that role, plus he's the stadium play-by-play announcer for the football team.

Not really troubles.  I'm just bored of people ripping off our shows, but more importantly fracturing the already small audience pool, and even more importantly, not just doing something THEY thought of - being original is always more fun and the way to go, but I guess it's easier to just look at someone else's thing and just do it.

More alarming than THAT however, was finding out this crazy woman is still stalking me on the Internet - I hadn't imagined (I should have) that she would have followed me to Facebook but she did and then she laid low until she thought she could cause some trouble, which, of course, she didn't.  And of course Facebook doesn't allow bogus accounts so I of course will alert them, tell them what her real account is and perhaps they'll just boot her the hell out of there, which is what she deserves.  Enjoying this, Babs?  Hope so, really, I do.   

I cannot tell you how many e-mails I got today about this other show thing from folks who couldn't believe it, so I'm not alone in that.

And then someone goes on my Facebook page, where I have not come out and actually said what's bugging me, just alluded to it - so I'm thinking how would this person who I don't know and who's never posted on my page before know?  And then I looked at her page and guess who it is - why our favorite little sick in the head stalker, which a simple look at her "friends" list tells me instantly - oops - I'm sure you all remember HER.  And since we know she's reading this post, you really need mental help, dear girl.  Blocked.  I'm sure you'll be "friending" me again under whatever other names you can come up with, but I'm on to you, as always.

At noon I'm going to the book discussion group at the library to talk about why I only got halfway through Kate Morton's The Lake House

Why did you only get halfway through the book?  I always completed books for a discussion.  Sometimes, when others didn't complete the book they would want to after the discussion.  Other times they were glad they hadn't finished reading it.

DR Jane, I only got halfway through because it reminded me of the plate of seafood fettuccine alfredo I ordered in a Seattle restaurant many years ago.  The more I ate read, the more there seemed to be and I felt like it would never come to an end.  Everyone else felt the same, and I told them to "spoil away," so I learned that I had, indeed, figured out the major plot point.  They just filled in the details and now I can move on to other things I want to read.

Kate Morton is anything but a "tight" writer.

;D

I read the book, and like Kate Morton, which is why I was interested in your response.  I agree with your reasons.

Jane, we saw Hell or High Water today. Just excellent. Script and acting. The movie did not look like Texas, however. It looked like little town in New Mexico I used to pass through on the way to Santa Fe. Sure enough, that's where it was shot.

Interesting, and funny, on the New Mexico town.  I am glad you agree regarding the film, script, and acting.  I kind of groaned when Keith said he wanted to see this.  It was nice to be wrong.

Not really troubles.  I'm just bored of people ripping off our shows, but more importantly fracturing the already small audience pool, and even more importantly, not just doing something THEY thought of - being original is always more fun and the way to go, but I guess it's easier to just look at someone else's thing and just do it.

I told Keith about this today.  Really, to say it was their original idea was just wrong.  If you look at commercials for new shows they all say they are the number one show  ::)

I'm finally liking it. Took me about seen episodes before it clicked.  I also like the views of Newfoundland.

More alarming than THAT however, was finding out this crazy woman is still stalking me on the Internet - I hadn't imagined (I should have) that she would have followed me to Facebook but she did and then she laid low until she thought she could cause some trouble, which, of course, she didn't.  And of course Facebook doesn't allow bogus accounts so I of course will alert them, tell them what her real account is and perhaps they'll just boot her the hell out of there, which is what she deserves.  Enjoying this, Babs?  Hope so, really, I do.   

I cannot tell you how many e-mails I got today about this other show thing from folks who couldn't believe it, so I'm not alone in that. 

I am glad people have responded regarding the other show.  I hope they were vocal on the page.  If I knew where to go I would as well.

Who can answer my Grand Marnier vs Gran Gala question?

Frustrated with the dentist Keith wanted to go to the local Mexican restaurant we like with the excellent Margarita's.  We ordered our usual Cadillac Margarita, only they didn't seem right.  We were told, unless otherwise requested, they are made with Gran Gala instead of Grand Mariener which is more expensive.

We know they usually come with Grand Marnier so this surprised us.  The waiter brought us an extra shot of Gran Gala since they didn't taste right to us.  They still didn't, so the bar tender came and spoke with us and gave us a shot of Grand Marnier and then they were good.

I tasted each shot before we split the additions to our drinks and found the Gala a bit thicker and sweeter than the Marnier.  Plain I might have preferred that but in the drinks the Marnier was much more flavorful.

Until recently, like six months ago, I never paid attention and just accepted whoever friended me.  I'm sure she's been laying in wait for this moment for over a year.  Had I actually gone to her page before friending her I would have seen that in her friends big as life was Babs, our lovely stalker.  That's what I did today and how I knew instantly what was going on.  But Googling the name was the surprise - Mata Hari and all.  What a crazy.

Gran Gala is half the price of Grand Marnier and, IMO, half the quality. It's a bit too icky sweet and less complex. That said, I love the brightness and freshness of Mexican Controy, which is not the same as Cointreau.
