Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of the garage, and now it is time for you to post until the garage cows come home.

And now, I'm off to bed.  I have no plans for today other than TV watching and laundry doing.  My sister wants to go to the newly remodled IKEA, so I may go with her.  I'm sure we'll be back in time to see the first episode of the new "Star Trek Discovery" TV show.  It'll be the only episode broadcast on regular TV.  The rest of the series will only be available on the CBS All Access pay-subscription service. :P

Ask BK:

Which Brahms piano concerto, #1 or #2?

I haven't listened to these in a long time, but I'm thinking #2 is the more immediately likable of the two, or the most well known.

WONDERFUL scans in the notes.

I only ever got one telegram in my life, and it would have been in the summer of 1968.  I've regretted for years that I never kept it.  I know I did for a little while, but it must have been gone within a couple of years.  Also, it wasn't like BK's where they paste the message on the paper.  It was printed directly.  Still, a real telegram.

(My telegram was the Meadowbrook School of Music in Rochester, Michigan (hi, DR Ginny) telling me I was admitted into their summer program.  Which wasn't a huge deal, as most people already knew they were in, and it wasn't like it was a big application process or anything in those years.  Still, I have always remembered my pleasure and excitement the afternoon it arrived.)

I am a mess today.  I went to bed at 11, slept until 1:15, then lay awake until 3:00 or so. I'm up and moving about but I keep thinking, I need another bit of sleep.  After nodding between 8:00 and 8:45, I decided to get out of bed and get some coffee.

Last night's symphony concert was a mixed bag. Olga Kern played Rachmaninov's Piano Concert No. 2 and followed up with a short Mendelssohn piece as an encore, both wonderful. And Debussy's Afternoon of a Faun was nice. But Berlioz's Symphony Fantastique didn't seem to fit the rest of the program.

Back in college, I loved the Berlioz. Now, it just seems silly fun. Certainly nothing much after the Rachmaninov.

Sunday afternoon greetings!  Rob and Mary Linda and I just came from the house next door, which is for sale "by owner," the estate of the 97-year-old woman who died on Palm Sunday.  They're having an open house today and we just went for a nosy neighbor peek.  Needs a lot of updating, but we hope they get the price they're asking.

Loved the I DO, I DO story, DR ChasSmith!  I also have one from 1967:  Mom took me for my first visit to NYC and we saw CABARET.  We waited at the stage door afterwards and it was right next to the I DO, I DO stage door.  We saw Robert Preston and Mary Martin come out and get into a limo together.  When I close my eyes, I can still see them waving out the back window of the car.

Very lazy Sunday.  Went to church.  Had lunch at Third Generation:  Fried chicken, rice/gravy, black-eyed peas and mixed greens, w/cornbread.  Chocolate layer cake for dessert.  Modest portions of everything.

Have a slight headache behind my right eye.  Don't know what the cause is. Possibly sinus-related.

Bruce, you mentioned getting rid of 15 or 20 boxes and having another 15 to sort through. How did it all fit in the garage??

My mother was the queen of the closet-stashers. When she'd open her closet in our den things kept coming and coming and coming. It was like the magician pulling all manner of things out of a hat. I swear I don't know how she got it all in there. I need to take a lesson or two, as my closets are all COMPLETELY full.

DR George, I would NEVER throw a book in the trash! But sometimes one must cull. I try a lot of new authors--novelists--who I don't care for enough to read more of. Those books I can part with.

I'm up, I'm up - I got ten hours of needed sleep, got up, and immediately was consumed with having to re-up the HHW and Kritzerland domain names for another five years, and then adding more perks - I think some of these perks in this campaign have out-perked other campaigns.  I just added a first edition mint copy of the coffee table book The Gershwins - this copy signed by over fifteen people, many deceased, but including Bette Midler, Larry Kert, Frances Gershwin, Irving Caesar (Tea for Two), Doug Henning, Robert Alda, Hazel Scott, Avon Long, Elizabeth Ashley, William Bolcom, Kay Swift, Barbara Cook, and others.  It's amazing, truly.

Hi all.  I just thought I'd stop by for quick hello and wishes that everyone here is doing well.

I don't have much news.  At least not good news.  Still job hunting.  It is a lot harder to find one at my age then I would have thought.  I've had several interviews and told I did well but it never translates in an offer.  Sigh.

I have another interview on Tuesday and heard from another company that states they are interested and will contact me on Monday for a possible interview.  All I can do is keep trying.

I guess I have to let you know about David.  It turned out he was a cat fish.  I would not have believed in him had he not called me so many times when I tried to break it off with him when I couldn't find a job right away.  He called over 20 times until I picked up and said for me to never not speak to him again because he loved me.  He knew I didn't have any money, didn't ask for any but it turned out he was not the person he said he was.

Well, no fool like an old fool, right? 

On top of all that, my tooth broke last Sunday and I'm having to get a crown.  Like I can afford that right now. 

And the good times roll.........

I swear I don't know how she got it all in there. I need to take a lesson or two, as my closets are all COMPLETELY full.

I have to tell you that it's amazing how much stuff you can store in a limited space, especially when you box it and stack it.  I found stuff in my storage I didn't have any memories of ever getting.   And much of that I had forgotten I had bought.

DR George, I would NEVER throw a book in the trash! But sometimes one must cull. I try a lot of new authors--novelists--who I don't care for enough to read more of. Those books I can part with. I was so glad to find a local library that accepts donations--many of then do not. Maybe only the ones who do book sales want donations.

Does your area have any free libraries?  We have lots in the area. You can leave books there for others to take.

(http://lj.libraryjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/little-free-library.jpg)

That's a very good idea. I know of only two in my area, but one of them is quite convenient. I'll keep it in mind.

DR Jane, I was only cleaning the shower grout, not regrouting. I do leave that to the landlord.

Good.  Have you found something that actually gets it clean?  It is not easy to do.

Yes. I use Trader Joe's All-Purpose Spray Cleaner, which I use for many things. Take a small section at a time. Spray on the cleaner, then LET IT SIT a minute or two. I then use a bottle brush and rub the grout. Rinse. Sometimes you have to repeat. It's easy, nontoxic, and not smelly. I used to really work at it! No more.

Hi all.  I just thought I'd stop by for quick hello and wishes that everyone here is doing well.

I don't have much news.  At least not good news.  Still job hunting.  It is a lot harder to find one at my age then I would have thought.  I've had several interviews and told I did well but it never translates in an offer.  Sigh.

I have another interview on Tuesday and heard from another company that states they are interested and will contact me on Monday for a possible interview.  All I can do is keep trying.

I guess I have to let you know about David.  It turned out he was a cat fish.  I would not have believed in him had he not called me so many times when I tried to break it off with him when I couldn't find a job right away.  He called over 20 times until I picked up and said for me to never not speak to him again because he loved me.  He knew I didn't have any money, didn't ask for any but it turned out he was not the person he said he was.

Well, no fool like an old fool, right? 

On top of all that, my tooth broke last Sunday and I'm having to get a crown.  Like I can afford that right now. 

And the good times roll.........

Sorry about David & your tooth.  As for David, you took a chance and that does not make you a fool no matter what age.

I agree with Jane. You took a chance. You knew it might not work out. Nothing wrong in that.

I hope you find a job you're happy with. What's happening with the lawsuit?

DR JEANNE I think you asked if anything was going on STARWISE....Mercury, Mars, and Venus are all in Virgo for the next couple of weeks.....things are working against each other, so just as we solve one dilemma, up pops another - if we even get as far as solving a dilemma....

The first quarter moon may impel us to act in "crisis" mode to move ahead.....it might be better to wait a few days and see what happens....things may indeed work themselves out by October 1.....

HOWEVER changes for the better in diet and health, exercise and medicine are all indicated.  Pay attention to advice you get in these areas.

MR here is Annette backing her T-Bird out of her driveway in Studio City - is that your house across the street?

(http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/VL4AAOSwg0BZwJBu/s-l1600.jpg)

No, her house was on the same side of the street as mine - mine is the northeast corner and hers was the northwest, where there is now the ugliest house in creation.  Her driveway wasn't actually on the street where our addresses are, as mine isn't.  It was on the east/west street and the house in the photo is still there and the chimney and its two adjoining windows looks exactly the same although everything west of that is now covered by a big old not see-through wall.  If you hard-panned left from this photo and looked across the street you'd have my house.

My library will take donations on the condition that if they don't add them to the collection, the items don't have to be returned.  Some things we get (and other purchased items that are just discarded from the collection) are made available to be sold at booksales by the various branch Friends of the Library groups), and some other things are sent to a seller who sells them on Amazon for us.
