Well, you've read the notes, all was well and well was all, notes-wise, and now it is time for you to post until the all is well cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PALIMPSEST!
-
First post after BK.
-
Vixmom, I love that painting from last night!!
-
I don’t usually watch the entire Stephen Colbert show. Usually I just watch the monologue, and then turn off the TV. It is really late!
-
First post after TCB's second post!
-
I have to be at the condo by 1:30 this afternoon.
-
Second post after George’s first post following my second post.
-
Tracy and I went out for Chinese food last night to celebrate my document signing.
-
George, does it ever get old saying ”my condo”?
-
Tonight, I'm going up to Seattle to see School of Rock (https://seattle.broadway.com/shows/school-of-rock/) with my friend David.
-
George, does it ever get old saying ”my condo”?
Nope. ;)
-
LMAO! I am such a dufus.
-
Don’t you hate the seats at The Paramount?
-
LMAO! I am such a dufus.
Why?? Or should it be, "What now?"
:D
-
Don’t you hate the seats at The Paramount?
It's been a long time since I've been there, so I don't specifically remember.
-

It's been a long time since I've been there, so I don't specifically remember.
It doesn’t affect me now that I am in the chair, but the rows of seats are too close to each other, and I always came home from there with bruised kneecaps.

Just me being affected!

Are you going to see THE PRODUCERS at Lakewood Playhouse?
-
Well, Tom, I need to be going to sleep now. I'm only going to work for four hours, then I have a long drive after that, then the show, then the long (and late) drive home.
-
Are you going to see THE PRODUCERS at Lakewood Playhouse?
I forgot that they were doing it. I'd love to!
-
Will Johnson, who played the son in NIGHT MUSIC is playing Leo.
-
Good night, George. I hope you enjoy SCHOOL OF ROCK.
-

I'm sure he'll be good in it!
-
Good night, George. I hope you enjoy SCHOOL OF ROCK.
Thanks, Tom. I really like the score. It played on Broadway for over 1300 performances!
And good night to you, too!
-
Night.
-
I should be tired. I only slept about 2 hours last night. But I am wide awake.
-
Good morning, all!
-
After my sleepless night, I slept really well until 4:30 when Annabelle decided it was time to crawl into bed with me. Then around 5:00 Thatch started his "Sun's up so feed me" jumping on and off the bed. Then Stella started in, so I thought, let's see what time it is.
-
It was 5:30, so I thought, what the hell, got up, dressed, took the bedspread down to the basement and put it in the washer, and I'm on my first cuppa coffee.
-
I'll feed the cats at their usual 6:30, but I have to work on a Moross score before I leave for my eye exam at 8:30.
-
I have to begin the 92nd Street Y show with Rob. I have one chart from him now and literally two weeks to do this show. It's like the old deadlines for BK's recordings.
-
DR TCB, I guess it's official now. You own a condo but the neighbors don't want you to move in. My dad's brother Dewey, when his family lived in Pittsburgh in the 1960s, was served with a petition to move out of the neighborhood from the local Catholic church ladies who objected to the fact that Dewey's wife was having a very open affair with one of the priests.
-
I'm waiting to hear about DR vixmom's Escape From Death!
-
Back to the laundry.
-
Good morning, all.
-
It's an early one for me. And why not? I ask you.
-
TOD
Yesterday, BALLET ON BROADWAY followed by STREETS OF NEW YORK. Great stuff.
Today, don't know yet. I have listening to do on DISASTER! and something else. Tonight I'll probably ketchup on some watching. I'm now two (count 'em) episodes behind on FOSSE/VERDON, so very likely that'll be what's on my plate.
-
Attn DR vixmom:
1. That's a beautiful painting.
2. What the HELL?!!
-
Doctor appointment this morning.
Business lunch at 12:30.
Roofing contractor coming to the house in the afternoon.
Will I ever find time to do some writing?

Congratulations on becoming a condo owner 🎉
-
Tom your realtor, or their's, should meet you at the condo with the keys.
-
Good morning!
-
Congrats, TCB!
-
Feel better vibes for DR jan!
-
Nice painting, DR vixmom!
-
DR vixmom: what?
-
Good morning, all.
-
Getting the key vibes and congrats to Condo Owner DR TCB.

Faced that most difficult of First World problems again this morning. The free Starbucks machine on my floor was broken and I had to go up a flight to get a cuppa.
-
Yes DR VIXMOM that is a great painting!

MR BK did you get your TV antenna?

TOD:
I probably won’t get to see much, so I’ll leave it at the rest of A Place Called Home. Also, I’m on the last disc of Ian McEwan’s latest, Machines Like Me, which is a disturbing tale of an alternate 1980s with human-like robots. Alan Turning, who never had a reason to commit suicide, is one of the characters. The Beatles never broke up and Carter was elected to a second term.

Let’s move on

Three!

We need to catch up on our viewing of BIG BANG THEORY before I accidentally read about the ending.
-
Friday morning greetings! Richard is back from having his hair cut and I'm on my way to have mine done. That's our big excitement for the day...
-
Grumpy Cat has died.
-
I saw that :(
-
I am home with a prescription for new glasses. Before I left, Annabelle vanished. I'm sure she's somewhere in the apartment; I don'y think she sneaked out while I was making laundry runs, but she's not in her usual spots, and I'll worry until she turns up.
-
I let Stella out to play and Thatch actually approached her and sniffed her butt. Then she chased him and he ran away. Annabelle has appeared, so I am greatly relieved.
-
Nap time!
-

Horrible, DR John G.
I hope at least the elevator was working so you didn't have to WALK UP.

I can't tell if Annabelle and Stella are playing or if Stella's chasing a running Annabelle.

My library has this. I just placed a hold on the e-boook. :)

I would have preferred the stairs. Instead you have to badge out, wait for the elevator, badge in on the new floor, get your coffee, badge out, ride down and badge in again.

So tiring.

Oh, my! I'll admit that I didn't know that he was even still alive!

That sounds terribly annoying. Does it mean you are not allowed to take the stairs? I prefer the stairs whenever possible.

I had been expecting another novel to be published. He was 10 days shy of his 104th birthday-wow.

I always take the stairs when able. Up to 10 or so stories.

The free Starbucks machine has been repaired. I have a hot, steaming mug. And I am the only one still working here.
-
I've discovered Annabelle's new hideout. She drives me mad: she'll hang all over me crying for food, then vanish. I can call her like mad when it's dinner time and I can't find her so Thatch ends up eating his dinner and hers. Then, as soon as I begin to open a package, she appears and hangs all over me to see what I'm doing.
-
Well, I'm off to Seattle! I'm meeting my friend David at his work up there, then we'll hang out for a while, then go to the theater.
Be back later!

Pet supplier Chewy.com uses a shipper named Lasership. $60+ worth of kitty treats and meds were supposedly left at my building two days ago. I have no idea where the package is, and Lasership says they are"investigating." Chewy is sending a new shipment, but this is the third time this month some idiot delivery person has supposedly delivered a package I never received. Last week UPS left a package for 202 West 81 #3C for me. I live at 3C, West 82!
It took a week of neighbors bringing it up to me before I finally wrote on it WRONG STREET! It's no longer in the lobby.
-
I'm up, I'm up - nine and a half hours of sleep.
-
I guess I'll go to the mail place, stop and get a baked potato and some scallions, then come home, eat, and do more commentary.

Where's DR vixmom? I want to hear about her escape from Death!

My tale:
I went to the store and was able to get the parking spot closest to the store, not only that but I was able to "pull through" so I was facing out and my passenger door was nearest the store.
The car next to me was parked so the rear of that car was next to the front of mine
-
I came out of the store with my shopping, opened the passenger door and dropped the packages inside and then walked around the front to get in the driver's side
-
And then I was lying on the alsphalt with all the wind knocked out of me and my glasses somewhere not on my face
-
My heel had caught the edge of a sewer grate I hadn't noticed, I turned my ankle and went down
-
Grumpy Cat has died.
:( :( :(
-
I was now lying behind the wheels of the car next to me and heard the transmission shift and realized to my horror that the driver was in the car , hadn't seen me and was about to back out
-
Suddenly there was a man there banging on the trunk of the car shouting "stop!!"
-
By the Grace of God, a young couple had been coming out of the store right behind me and saw me go down and realized what was happening
-
The guy dropped his bag and just ran to stop the car from moving, putting himself in danger of being run over as well
-
The two of them helped me up, found my glasses ( which somehow did not break) and got me in my car
-
I was so baffled and shocked I never asked them their names, I'm not even sure if I thanked them properly
-
But one thing is for certain, if they hadn't been there, and he hadn't done that I would not be typing this because that tire would have gone right over my neck
-
My left ankle is a bit swollen and I am wearing an ankle brace. I have 'road rash" on the palms of my hands , elbows and chin
-
And I am grateful as all get out
-
Hello, everyone.
-
MEGA RECOVERY VIBES to the VERY lucky Vixmom!
-
I hope you'll be able to rest and stay off your feet this weekend.
-
I hope you'll be able to rest and stay off your feet this weekend.
I have soup kitchen tomorrow, think it behooves me to be there
-
I'm surprised you felt able to drive home. What a shock!
-
Surely there's someone who could take your place.
-
DR Vixmom, how frightening! I'm happy those people were there. Perhaps they are angels and you will never see them again. I believe one helped me in 2013 when this affliction struck me and I needed serious help on Broadway.
-
I'm surprised you felt able to drive home. What a shock!
I was at the shops just a half mile from home, I pretty much did it on auto pilot.
-
Surely there's someone who could take your place.
I feel like I really want to give back
-
Yes, but perhaps you could rest and heal a bit first?
-
Much as I detest and long to read the obituary of President Trump, I do agree with him about Bill de Blasio. He's been as lousy a mayor as Giuliani, and I blame the New York Animal Care Center euthanasia and silent kills on the cronies he's put in charge.
-
So glad it wasn't worse!
So glad you had help when you needed it.
-
I went to acupuncture today, then stopped for a veggie burger. I am now off for the day.
-
I am shocked and amazed at the tale of DR VIXMOM.
-
Did MR BK say the SOTEE came today? I remember he was hoping to change her day of the week.....
-
Stay safe, everyone!
TTFN.
-
Congratulations to TCB on being an official condo owner
-
And congratulations to Elmore on the quick resolution of the eviction threat.
I apologize, I am afraid I wasn't caught up on reading the posts and missed the issue until it was resolved
-
Vixmom, thank God you are all right and bless your helpful angels!
-
Vixmom, I do believe that story is the winner on all the Internet today.
-
And congratulations to Elmore on the quick resolution of the eviction threat.
I apologize, I am afraid I wasn't caught up on reading the posts and missed the issue until it was resolved
Thanks, but it won't really be resolved until this damned hearing next Thursday.
-
Oh, Vixmom! How frightening! I'm so glad those folks were there to stop the car.
-
That is a horrifying story. I would have done more than bang on that guy's car, but thankfully all is well and well is all because we would never want to be without our vixmom. And I'm thinking a vixmom original painting should adorn a wall here in the home environment
-

It wasn't the guy in the cars fault , he was minding his own business, I fell so quickly he never saw me. He was pretty shaken up too
-
DR vixmom---I'm so glad you're okay!
-
Did anyone here ever watch Six Feet Under? Every episode opened with seeing somebody's death, often they were ridiculous ways to die ( although completely plausible)
There was one where a guy fell out of his car while reversing and ran himself over, the whole episode people kept asking , how did he run himself over?
I was imaging people trying to figure out why I suddenly decided to lie down behind a reversing car
-
OMG Vixmom, thank goodness you were not run over by the car and ruined the Vixter's special day.
-
And I'm thinking a vixmom original painting should adorn a wall here in the home environment
I don't think they're even good enough to adorn a wall in my home environment. I have them all stacked up in Vixters old bedroom. It's just fun painting them
-
OMG Vixmom, thank goodness you were not run over by the car and ruined the Vixter's special day.
That's the other thing I was thinking, if I died then she and Vixdad would have been so mad at me
-
Surely there's someone who could take your place.
I agree. Stay off of your ankle as much as possible!
-
Quick healing vibes for DR Vixmom!
-
Surely there's someone who could take your place.
I feel like I really want to give back
I think you have "given back" plenty in your life and will do so again.

Yes, I can imagine he would also be shaken up over it and grateful he was stopped from running over you.

I watched the whole series, and will happily do so again sometime. I'd forgotten about all of those openings. Not sure I recall that one, but I really don't recall a lot of them. But there were some doozies, and I will love them all over again when I get around to it.
-
I've pretty much cleaned out all mailboxes of past messages, save for a few. Now I've just got the main box and the main "saved" box to do. But the saved box went all the way back to 2004, so I've nuked up to January 0f 2009 so far.
-
We're at the theater!
-
Well, I'm off to Seattle! I'm meeting my friend David at his work up there, then we'll hang out for a while, then go to the theater.
Be back later!
Have fun!
Thanks, Larry!
-
We went to a fish-n-chips place for dinner. Here's a picture that David took of me with a picture of him on my phone!
-
Be back later!

I ushered for the Children's Ballet of San Antonio's production of Cinderella tonight. They had 150 children on stage, including one girl in a wheelchair. They used the Prokofiev score, but added a hip-hop number, an Irish step dance and some weird Cossack number for the boys. It was all fun and seriously produced.

Vixmom, I'm really glad you're OK.
-
I like the photo George 😊
-
DR Jan how did your day go?
-
Thanks all for the kind words, it's nice to know I would be missed
-
Have a good night all and have a lovely , well today...it's tomorrow already
-
I like the photo George 😊
Thanks, Jane!
-
Well, the show is over and it was fantastic! Both David and I loved it...well, I think I enjoyed it more, but he really did have a great time.
-
And now, I'm sitting in my car about to drive the long drive home.
Be back later!
-
Good evening.
-
I now have the key to the kingdom
-
And I got yelled at by my first neighbor.
-
The seller’s sheet listed that even though my condo was #167, my covered space was #164. Okay, sounds stupid, but okay.
-
So, for the first time today I parked in my covered stall and when I came out about a half hour later to get something out of the car, this broad starts screaming at me that I am in her parking spot.
-
Now , if She had been in unit 164, I would have understood, But she was in a third floor condo, like number #385! WTF? Anyway , I wasn’t going to rude and argue with her, so I just flipped her off and moved my car.
-
Kidding!
-
We were leaving anyway, so I moved.
-
Turns out, #164 is as high as the covered spaces go, so I am thinking I don’t get a covered space — which will really piss me off!
-
Hi, jan! How are you feeling?
-
Quiet here tonight. Lucky we got to page six.
-
Close to page seven.
-
Hey, BK never answered my Wednesday question!!
-
Hangin' in but can't wait to get the stitches out.
-
Vixmom, thank God those angels were there yesterday looking over you.
-
What was your Wednesday question?
-
Hangin' in but can't wait to get the stitches out.
And when is that? Why didn’t they use dissolving stitches?
-
7
-
Planned for Wednesday. As far as the kind of stitches, I was so eager to get out of there, I didn't think to ask.
-
What was your Wednesday question?
I wanted to know what BK’s memories or stories were of the late Tim Conway.
-
oh, yeah. Kimmel, answer his question!
-
jan, how long have you known BK?
-
I met him in 1966. oh my God, we're old.
-
I met him in 1966. oh my God, we're old.
When you were two years old?
-
Bless your heart, ya big dodo!
-
LOL!
