I slept well for the first time in some time.  I remember a strange dream about my friend Ben Davis, who's currently playing Captain von Trapp in the Sound of Music tour.  Something about a party in a hotel, lodge.  My former friend Ron Raines was also in the dream with his wife.

Yesterday, I was looking for an email and ran across the original August 2014 cover design for the ROBERTA recording.  I had approved it and it was set to go when the Man from Philadelphia insisted that the color be changed.  It was a complete surprise to me, and I still resent his interference without discussing it with me.

I think I still prefer the pinker version 1.  Any thoughts, DRs?

I remember that controversy, and agree with you.

But is this a brain fart, or had other colors either been used in the past, or considered for this release?  Was there a green one?  I could easily be conflating this with any number of things.

In other DR Elmore-related news, in my sorting this morning I unearthed an article I'd forgotten I had because it had never been put in the right place.  It's a complete tear-out of a July 3, 1989 New Yorker piece by Ethan Mordden called "SHOW BOAT" CROSSES OVER.  I have no memory of having read it (!), so that situation is about to be rectified.

DR Elmore, you probably have everything in existence on that, but if you can use a copy of this, you're totally welcome to my original (sorry I didn't keep the issue cover), or to the scan of it I'll make later today.

I have a copy.  It's got several Ethan Mordded errors, which is typical for his "I know it all" attitude; if he'd asked me about the recording at the time, I could have corrected him. 

Thanks for asking, though.

All I know is how I used to explain "fair use" to the pre-service teachers I taught at Miami University, but that was 20 years ago.  The key words were "spontaneity" and "brevity."  If someone told me I had to become a lawyer, I'd specialize in intellectual property.

I work at the Timberland Regional Library (http://www.trl.org/) Administrative Service Center, which is the headquarters of a five-county, 27-branch library district.  It's its own special taxing district, so it's not dependent on the state or any other library districts.  We get our funding mostly from timber revenue and property taxes.  We're on pretty solid ground, financially. :)

No, they are not small counties.  Our library system is one of the geographically largest library systems in the country.  There are libraries that serve more people, or have more branches, and I don't think we cover the largest area, but the service area is nearly 7,000 square miles.

Among other things, I received a check for $ .05. That's right: 5 cents. It was my share of some massive AT&T overcharge.

Possible responses:
"Oh, I'm so glad! Now I can pay my bills!"
"Why bother?"
"A great big THANK YOU to class action suits!"
"AT&T should be fined for overcharging their customers."

Your choice.

I'd missed your comment on the previous page. I had to turn the volume up to hear her, then turn it WAAAYYYY down when the music came on.

I do like using coconut milk and have been thinking about experimenting with it a bit, maybe for an ice cream-like dessert. (Trader Joe's sells a great coconut milk non-dairy "ice cream".)  There was a great little seafood restaurant near my office in San Diego that made a dessert using some sort of berries in a creamy base. I loved it. Something like that, only using coconut milk. I should probably play the video again for more ideas.

I had an account with BofA while moving across country. Much as I HATE BofA it worked well during the move. As soon as I arrived in California their idiocy resumed. I closed my account and went to Wells Fargo. Big mistake. Every time I went into the bank they'd high-pressure me to open another account. I hate that! After two months I closed that account and went to US Bank, where I still reside. They're not perfect, but they're hugely better than the other two.

I was not at all surprised that WF has been opening unauthorized accounts. It's consistent with the behavior I experienced from them. I don't know for certain that they didn't open an extra one for me.

 
Title: Re: DISCOVERING DUNING
Post by: Jeanne on October 04, 2016, 05:56:20 PM
Jane, I don't expect it to be cleared up anytime soon. The State of California has been using WF to underwrite the state's municipal bonds. They've now curtailed that, which will cost WF millions of dollars a year in lost fees.  I suspect more will come out over the coming months.

Never buy "light" coconut milk. All they do is mix half water and half coconut milk, but charge you the same price. If you want light coconut milk, make your own.

Had to stop reading the book "Geniuses of the American Musical Theatre." There were far too many errors, and I'm at an age where I'd forget the truth and remember the errors that he was spouting. One of the weirder ones was that Yip Harburg worked on an unproduced film musical of Huck Finn with Burton Lane. That was Alan Jay Lerner. After Finian's Rainbow, Lane swore he'd never work with Harburg again, and he didn't. That much I know.
