I slept rather well, but I remember none of my dreams now.  After abandoning me to sleep elsewhere when Thatch arrived, Annabelle has returned to my bed, and she was there squarely and firmly in the middle of it all night .  Thatch left his cat tree around 5:00 this morning to join us.

So following up from last night, the brand Arm & Hammer was in existence for a few decades before the original tycoon Armand Hammer was born.  So he was named for the Arm & Hammer products, I guess. 

This is from wiki:

"It is often claimed that the brand name originated with tycoon Armand Hammer: however, the Arm & Hammer brand was in use 31 years before Hammer was born. Hammer was so often asked about the Church & Dwight brand, however, that he attempted to buy the company. While unsuccessful, Hammer's Occidental Petroleum in 1986 acquired enough stock for him to join the Church & Dwight board of directors. Hammer remained one of the owners of Arm & Hammer until his death in 1990."

Jane - yes, our neighborhood is alternately known as "Hell's Kitchen" and "Clinton."  By some point in the 1990's, the area had become an extremely desirable and pricy area, but for a long time before that, it was not a desrable area at all.

WTH - I forgot to come to HHW yesterday!  I was working on the 50th reunion DVD slide show....and the program was wonky.  It would add a slide twice even though it was only on the template ONCE....

Then I had to take it over to the head of the committee so she could see it.....and it turns out I won't be talking at the Alumni Dinner after all.  TBH wants to do it, so that's fine, I can have another drink.

Thanks to yesterday evening's rain and the below-freezing overnight lows, the driveway was lovely shade of black ice this morning.  But the cars were able to handle it and we're at 34 or thereabouts, with just enough sun, that I can already see the rest of it giving up the ghost.

And today's the day I get the snowblower back.  Seems like it's been forever, but it's the three weeks they originally estimated.  Would have been two if they hadn't had to order two parts.  We were lucky, there was only one storm during that time in which I would have used it.  And now it'll be as good as new.  Improved, in fact, because I didn't have chains on the tires before, and now I will.

But I like the idea that everything was nice when you came here!

Alicia Keys once did a commercial for music speakers where she talked about how rough the surrounding area was over to 11th and 12th Avenues while she was growing up.  (I'm paraphrasing a bit, but it was something like having street gangs, gun shots and pestilence in one direction, the lights of Broadway in the other direction.)

Annabelle has been working my last nerve this morning.  She continually jumps on the table and knocks things to the floor.  She dropped a big jar of her favorite kitty party mix pff the table and into Thatch's water bowl, and I had a big cleanup job.  When I finished, I caught her pushing it to the table's edge again.  She's determined tp wreak havoc this morning, so she jumps back up every time I set her down.

Speaking of jumping, Thatch is finally honing his skills.  He can now jump from the baseboard of my bed to the top of the cat tree.

Is this the same complaint as before?

Interesting to hear that word today:  There's an article in today's Times that when men complain about illnesses, they tend not to call them "complaints," but "updates" to their family about what's going on.  But their wives and girlfriends disagree.

I'm having trouble linking the article, but this is from the article'


"I, personally, do not complain much when I get sick. It’s true that I provide for the people around me running updates about the type and quality of my illness, the intensity and character of its effects, the particular sounds of the cough, the volumes and colors of phlegm discharge and my own feelings about all of the above. But these communiqués, whether sent as text messages or shouted at my girlfriend from across the apartment, are useful news bulletins, provided in the spirit of CDC alerts. They’re not complaints. Me? I don’t complain. I update."

I will have to think about the TOD.  In the meantime for the amusement of the populace, I will post part of the photo of my first grade class from Newby Elementary School.....teacher Mrs. Julia Doughty.

I am wearing my favorite STRIPED shirt....and my belt is obviously too long for my waist.



My mom used to say something that sounded like that:  I'm not heavy.  I'm just too short for my weight.

Jane - yes, our neighborhood is alternately known as "Hell's Kitchen" and "Clinton."  By some point in the 1990's, the area had become an extremely desirable and pricy area, but for a long time before that, it was not a desrable area at all.

It was very nice when I was there 😊


LOL, if you mean when you were here with the HHW group, yes, the neighborhood had gotten better, cleaner and more costly by then.
 
But I like the idea that everything was nice when you came here!

Is this the same complaint as before?

Interesting to hear that word today:  There's an article in today's Times that when men complain about illnesses, they tend not to call them "complaints," but "updates" to their family about what's going on.  But their wives and girlfriends disagree.

I'm having trouble linking the article, but this is from the article'


"I, personally, do not complain much when I get sick. It’s true that I provide for the people around me running updates about the type and quality of my illness, the intensity and character of its effects, the particular sounds of the cough, the volumes and colors of phlegm discharge and my own feelings about all of the above. But these communiqués, whether sent as text messages or shouted at my girlfriend from across the apartment, are useful news bulletins, provided in the spirit of CDC alerts. They’re not complaints. Me? I don’t complain. I update."

Duly noted, whiner.

Now I will have to go another day and he will have to wait for me to return with the car unless he drops me off and goes to the gym early.

Guess your doctor’s taking advantage of Super Sick Monday.

I am so sorry John.  I did not realize your father was basically bed ridden though I knew he was not doing well.  Bed sores are a big problem in nursing homes and hospitals.  Wherever he goes be very vocal that he gets a mattress topper to help reduce these.  :(

So following up from last night, the brand Arm & Hammer was in existence for a few decades before the original tycoon Armand Hammer was born.  So he was named for the Arm & Hammer products, I guess. 

This is from wiki:

"It is often claimed that the brand name originated with tycoon Armand Hammer: however, the Arm & Hammer brand was in use 31 years before Hammer was born. Hammer was so often asked about the Church & Dwight brand, however, that he attempted to buy the company. While unsuccessful, Hammer's Occidental Petroleum in 1986 acquired enough stock for him to join the Church & Dwight board of directors. Hammer remained one of the owners of Arm & Hammer until his death in 1990."

I never met Armand Hammer, but I knew one of the attorneys for Occidental Petroleum who worked closely with him. I recall my friend going to Russia with AH to negotiate a deal for Russian paintings. It was quite exciting. It's hard for me to think that AH was the great-grandfather of Armie Hammer. Grandfather, yes, but not great-grandfather.

I'm exhausted.  I finished proofing - making yet more cuts (I've cut three entire pages out of this go-through - doesn't seem like that much, but every one of the cuts helps and makes everything smoother.  But the most interesting thing was getting to the final scene of the book.  As I read it I realized that the emotion I wanted to put there was just a little too much, and it made one of the characters seem weird for not reacting more to it.  It seemed too long and repetitive, too.  So, I'd had an idea when I was originally writing it and I went back to that for one paragraph and boy did that help, then I cut stuff and rewrote the final three pages, using some of the same dialogue, writing some new dialogue and cutting out the stuff that didn't work.  It's much quicker and simpler now. 

After I'd run all the other changes by Muse Margaret, all of which she absolutely loved, I read her the ending as I had it, then read her the new version and she instantly liked it better.  We both liked the original, but both of us felt better about this calmer version, where the character is more in control of her situation.  So, I entered all those fixes and I am DONE.  I got new copies to the proofers.

So following up from last night, the brand Arm & Hammer was in existence for a few decades before the original tycoon Armand Hammer was born.  So he was named for the Arm & Hammer products, I guess. 

This is from wiki:

"It is often claimed that the brand name originated with tycoon Armand Hammer: however, the Arm & Hammer brand was in use 31 years before Hammer was born. Hammer was so often asked about the Church & Dwight brand, however, that he attempted to buy the company. While unsuccessful, Hammer's Occidental Petroleum in 1986 acquired enough stock for him to join the Church & Dwight board of directors. Hammer remained one of the owners of Arm & Hammer until his death in 1990."

I never met Armand Hammer, but I knew one of the attorneys for Occidental Petroleum who worked closely with him. I recall my friend going to Russia with AH to negotiate a deal for Russian paintings. It was quite exciting. It's hard for me to think that AH was the great-grandfather of Armie Hammer. Grandfather, yes, but not great-grandfather.   

Armie was not even born when his great-grandfather was alive, was he?

John, did your coworker just watch as her tire was stolen? I would have been sorely tempted to grab a few coworkers and head out to confront the thief

Then again I heard from one of the proofers who finished the book and loved it.  But I asked her to read the new ending - I'm guessing she'll like it better.

It happened very quickly, seriously in about five seconds. It was all caught on film, but I think the car that the guy was in was a junk just used for this. It didn't have a back windshield and other parts were apparently missing. She was very upset, naturally.

Actor John Mahoney has died.
http://variety.com/2018/tv/news/john-mahoney-dead-dies-frasier-1202688144/ (http://variety.com/2018/tv/news/john-mahoney-dead-dies-frasier-1202688144/)

I think I first saw him that amazing Lincoln Center production of House of Blue Leaves with Swoozie Kurtz, Stockard Channing, Danny Aiello, Ben Stiller and Julie Haggerty. He was the star and he was sanity itself until he went insane. Wonderful production, wonderful show.

I remember Woody Allen was in the audience that day.

I remember watching that on PBS and recognizing him when "Frasier" started.

I am in a small Facebook group with a few women from West L.A.  Untill tonight I had never met this friend in person but we have a lot of connections.

She was friends with 3 of Keith's cousin's and even briefly dated one of them.  She met her husband through them as he was also friends with them.

Her husband and I went to school together through 7th grade when her moved away.  We do not remember each other and he was absent for the 6th grade class photo.
