DR vixmom, yes the bookcases are bolted to the walls.  When the one wall of shelves collapsed in 2004, because they were not bolted to the wall, I hired the wonderful George Hardy, who had a shop in the basement of our building, to repair and bolt.

George has retired since 2013 or so, and I miss seeing him around the building.  His shop is now a large empty space that was used by the elevator crew to store their equipment.  They moved out last Monday.

TOD:

Netflix delivered Roseland last night. It’s a Merchant-Ivory that I somehow missed. It’s not a great film (I watched the first 45 minutes or so last night), but the cast is intriguing: Teresa Wright, Helen Gallagher, a young Christopher Walken, Joan Copeland and Lou Jacobi.

I also have the rest of Eisenstein’s Strike.

I just called Amazon again.  Told them I was pissed that it was going to take 2-3 weeks to get a replacement.  They were out of stock for the DVD.

They offered to give me a Blu-Ray for the same price and ship for tomorrow delivery, and I accepted.

Due to playing a show this weekend, it's the first St. Patrick's Day in many years that I won't be able to enjoy the meal on the actual day.

In a little while I'll go out to pick up the supplies, then cook them tomorrow morning and afternoon.  I think we all have things going on this weekend, so whoever gets to heat some up, and whenever, that's the way it shall be.  Me, I'm planning on Sunday evening after closing the show.

I watched an interesting little film yesterday, that I somehow missed when it was released in 2013.  The film is called PARKLAND, and it stars Zac Efron, Colin Hanks, Marcia Gay Harden, Billy Bob Thornton, and Paul Giamatti as Abraham Zapruder.  It was okay.

Listening to some pretty music right now by a composer I know little about but am fond of - I don't even remember why I got the CD I had but it was in iTunes and I played it and remembered how delightful it was - may have been a recommendation - so I'm now listening to his violin concerto and enjoying it tremendously.  Composer is Frederic d'Erlanger.  Whilst writing GEE I listened to about sixty violin concertos and sonatas, maybe more - the reason will become evident when folks read it.

I have two goddaughters.  My goddaughter Emily, whose mother was one of my best friends from grad school, just wrote me that her mother is in her final stages of cancer.  I am in shock.  Please send her vibes for an easy passing.


I am so very sorry to hear this   Vibes and prayers for all

I put the meat in the crock pot, added 3 pound of tiny red and white potatoes, a pound of baby carrots, the spice packet from the meat and 2 bottles of beer.  Then I put it on low and went to bed

I love hearing about other people's corned beef(s).  Mine cooks tomorrow morning and afternoon.  I know I should try the crock pot instead of doing it on the stove, but since I didn't plan for that it ain't happening now.  It'll all get cooked at the somewhat higher temperature during the day.  In fact, if I play my cards right, I can have some before leaving for tomorrow night's show.

I learned something about sitting in kitchen sized chairs, they can be moved around for better viewing.  Best of all I had room to move around and keep my body comfortable too.

So the previous owners didn't have accessible bathrooms and the new owners don't yet, either?
