Title: FASCINATING NOTES
Post by: bk on May 12, 2018, 12:10:27 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes were fascinating notes, and now it is time for you to post until the fascinating cows come home.

Post by: George on May 12, 2018, 12:33:41 AM: I'm now going to watch Andrew Rannells' PBS concert and record it to my DVD burner so that I can have it on a DVD.
Title: Re: FASCINATING NOTES
Post by: George on May 12, 2018, 12:58:28 AM: I'm at the part where Andrew is singing "Your Fault." He does sing the whole thing!
Title: Re: FASCINATING NOTES
Post by: George on May 12, 2018, 01:39:24 AM: Andrew Rannells put on a great concert. I really enjoyed it!
Title: Re: FASCINATING NOTES
Post by: George on May 12, 2018, 01:46:49 AM: The recording of Andrew's concert onto my DVD burner is complete. I've edited out the unwanted beginning and ending of the broadcast and will now burn it onto a (standard def) DVD with Stephanie J. Block's concert. Previously, I'd burned a DVD with the concerts of Sutton Foster and Leslie Odom Jr.

Title: Re: FASCINATING NOTES
Post by: bk on May 12, 2018, 02:04:43 AM: Lovely new review for GEE from Mark (of Amy and Mark):

"Is the hand on the cover of “GEE,” Bruce Kimmel’s 18th book, beckoning you into the past, or welcoming you into the future? Turns out it’s both, and the personal journeys that collide within are both entertaining and enchanting, melancholy and magical, sad and sumptuous.
Kimmel’s past novels—whether it’s the charming nostalgia of the semi-autobiographical “Kritzerland” trilogy or the clever time-travel epic “Thrill Ride”—are love letters to the past, and in “GEE” the titular character comes of age in the days when Chaplin and Pickford ruled the box office. But this headstrong, willful and peculiar girl doesn’t spend the book lingering in silents, she is thrust into the era of talkies and far beyond, coping as best she can with the changing decades and hanging onto to memories of what could have been, what should have been — and using those memories to comfort her as she comes to grips with the reality of what is.
When the book charges forward into the 21st century, a new character is introduced, one who is as headstrong, willful and peculiar as the person who came before. She, too, is navigating life, searching for her niche, coping as best she can. One day her future becomes illuminated by the past, as if a hand had reached back through time to guide her. Fate, odds, second chances ... all begin to steer her toward happiness, not regret. She had found her way — at last.
You owe it to yourself to find your way to “GEE.” It’s an emotional trip through the decades that will live on in your heart."

Post by: elmore3003 on May 12, 2018, 07:17:54 AM: I slept badly. Thatch sat in the window crying too much of the night, and I wish I could decipher of he's mourning something, missing something, conjuring birds. Perhaps his neutering was a botch and he's calling to a female?
At one point, while he was sleeping on my bed, I think he had a nightmare. So, this morning I fed the cats at 6:45 and went back to bed for three hours.

I have been eating too much sugar in spite of the fact my fasting glucose was slightly above normal, and that I have not dropped the extra pounds I recently gained. No cake thought but that is because I don't have any to eat, thank goodness ;D

Title: Re: FASCINATING NOTES
Post by: Jeanne on May 12, 2018, 03:46:38 PM: I recently watched seasons 1 and 2 of THE TUNNEL. I had avoided it initially because it's a copycat of THE BRIDGE. I liked THE BRIDGE very much. As it turns out, I liked THE TUNNEL as well. I liked the interplay between the two leads, and it was different enough from THE BRIDGE that it felt fresh. (Or maybe my memory just shot.)

I think it is something to increase the wifi speed.

Maybe you can make sense of this definition:
A wireless mesh network (WMN) is a communications network made up of radio nodes organized in a mesh topology. It is also a form of wireless ad hoc network. A mesh refers to rich interconnection among devices or nodes. Wireless mesh networks often consist of mesh clients, mesh routers and gateways.

Post by: John G. on May 12, 2018, 08:05:03 PM: Watching Andrew Rannells. Sort of enjoying it. He sings a k.d. lang song in which she uses the word “unthaw” to mean “thaw.” Sloppy.

In the Maigret movie, the subtitle writer used “debone,” which really wasn’t a word until it got overused, to mean “bone.”

I’m too picky.

Post by: John G. on May 12, 2018, 08:09:55 PM: Rannells singing Born to Run with perfect diction is as funny as the Asian version of “And Im Telling You, I’m Noy Going” I’m Down to Earth.

What's fun is that it has more information than the book Hedy's Folly as well as interviews with her children and grandchildren.

Lovely new review for GEE from Mark (of Amy and Mark):

"Is the hand on the cover of “GEE,” Bruce Kimmel’s 18th book, beckoning you into the past, or welcoming you into the future? Turns out it’s both, and the personal journeys that collide within are both entertaining and enchanting, melancholy and magical, sad and sumptuous.
Kimmel’s past novels—whether it’s the charming nostalgia of the semi-autobiographical “Kritzerland” trilogy or the clever time-travel epic “Thrill Ride”—are love letters to the past, and in “GEE” the titular character comes of age in the days when Chaplin and Pickford ruled the box office. But this headstrong, willful and peculiar girl doesn’t spend the book lingering in silents, she is thrust into the era of talkies and far beyond, coping as best she can with the changing decades and hanging onto to memories of what could have been, what should have been — and using those memories to comfort her as she comes to grips with the reality of what is.
When the book charges forward into the 21st century, a new character is introduced, one who is as headstrong, willful and peculiar as the person who came before. She, too, is navigating life, searching for her niche, coping as best she can. One day her future becomes illuminated by the past, as if a hand had reached back through time to guide her. Fate, odds, second chances ... all begin to steer her toward happiness, not regret. She had found her way — at last.
You owe it to yourself to find your way to “GEE.” It’s an emotional trip through the decades that will live on in your heart."

Very nice, BK!

DR TCB I wish you could have the same quality of wifi we now have.

That's pretty cool, Jane. And Ditto for Tom!

What is a wifi mesh?

I think it is something to increase the wifi speed.

Maybe you can make sense of this definition:
A wireless mesh network (WMN) is a communications network made up of radio nodes organized in a mesh topology. It is also a form of wireless ad hoc network. A mesh refers to rich interconnection among devices or nodes. Wireless mesh networks often consist of mesh clients, mesh routers and gateways.
