Well, you've read the notes, the notes were happy and welcomed November, and now it is time for you to post until the happy November cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: MOXIE!
-
And now - Dino at the piano.
-
The first to sing while Dino plays the piano.
-
Today I am meeting up with a former co-worker (and a very dear friend) for lunch. And that will be about it for my social calendar.
-
First to post after Tom sings while Dino plays the piano.
-
Good night, jan.
-
Good night, George.

Today I am meeting up with a former co-worker (and a very dear friend) for lunch. And that will be about it for my social calendar.
Yesterday, I had lunch with a former co-worker (but not exactly a very dear friend...a friend, certainly). Lunch was at the River's Edge (http://www.riversedgetumwater.com/), a restaurant in Tumwater Valley. Lunch was quite delish and the company was delightful.
-
Good night, Tom.
-
And now, I must go to sleep. Good night, BK.
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning
-
Some of the ladies in the office are going out for dinner after work tonight and I have been invited to join them, I don’t know where we’re going
-
As long as it’s not sushi I’ll be fine
-
Good morning, all!
-
I am trying to get the cats ready for the time change by sleeping later in the morning, but I'm having little success. They already start letting me know it's breakfast time around 5:45, and it will be worse when the new time is 4:45!
-
There was much humor in last night's posts. So many sassy people!
-
I am back to My Fair Lady and Joshie today, so I'm looking forward to that. I think I'll be working at home this weekenmd on several numbers as well.
-
Good morning everyone I hope everyone has a great weekend
-
Litter and kitty dishes are cleaned, and I have 90 minutes before I head out.
-
Travel vibes for DR FJL.
-
This is definitely THE HHW Message board - accept no substitutes.
-
I had nightmares last night about Higgins and Eliza in a fiery kissing embrace while the rest of the cast pranced about to Tick Tock.....
-
I am going to watch the closing arguments in this Wisconsin murder case this morning.
Both the defense and the prosecution are incompetent so I don't imagine their closings will be any different.....
-
Social Security sent me fifty cents LESS this month - it's a long story - but that's better than the $271 less they thought they should send me.....
-
I had zero Trick or Treaters at my house.....but maybe it was changed to tonight because of the weather. I didn't hear anything.
-
Good morning!
-
Good morning, all.
-
Friday morning greetings! It's hard to believe November is here already.
-
I dutifully arose at 7:30 and fed the troops, then went right back to bed for another couple hours of sleep. Reason being, a while after enjoying NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD last night, I got into the mood for more Halloween movie watching and turned on TCM to eventually fall asleep by. By then they were on to Corman for the rest of the night, and I caught the second half of HOUSE OF USHER, the entirety of PIT AND THE PENDULUM, and the first third of THE HAUNTED PALACE before fading out. Oy. I didn’t need that much, and I felt it this morning.
-
But I’m so glad that BK inspired me to pull out NOTLD. I’ve known this for years now, but what a difference to watch something the way it was meant to be seen. It’s a lesson we keep on learning, and it’s always a joy.
-
Safe & easy travel vibes to DR FJL.
-
I went to sleep knowing there was a new fire and woke up surprised to see a friend had evacuated. She posted a photo at midnight of her horses and trailer saying they were safe in the Target parking lot.

You'll just have to feed them before you go to bed, Larry. ;)

Yikes! That is better the alternative!
-
Yup, definitely better.
-
My friend said her horses have returned to their barn. I hope all will stay good.
-
I am home from City Center, and happy to be home.
-
I hear tonight will be quite chilly, so I'm expecting a bedful of kitties.
-
I am going to watch the closing arguments in this Wisconsin murder case this morning.

What murder case is this?
-
Joshie and I are with you, DR Ginny. November? WTF?
-
So, we've decided not to go to the All Saints' Day potluck dinner tonight, because Richard wants to be fully rested for the funeral he's doing in Lima tomorrow. Anyone want a bucket of leftover trick or treat candy?
-
I'm up, I'm up - nine hours of sleep, I think.

It's on Amazon now and coming soon!

-
DR ELMORE it's the Ezra McCandless case.....she is charged with killing her boyfriend by stabbing him 16 times......
She is a piece of work....to be sure.....it's gone all day on COURT TV and the Prosecution is giving its rebuttal, so I think that's the last thing that happens before it goes to the jury.
Both sides have been incompetent for the most part.
-
The case just went to the jury and they will NOT be sequestered.

Congrats DR elmore 😊

Yay!!!
-
Great news DR ELMORE!
And tonight on PBS: 42nd Street!
-
I cannot believe the weather we've had over the past 2 days. Last night and yesterday afternoon we had torrential downpours and an enormous amount of rain (cancelling Halloween in some places). And then today we have the strongest winds I've ever seen. Power outages, branches down everywhere. :(
-

I'm going to record this!
-
Hello, everyone.
-
Where is everyone? Sleeping off all the Halloween candy?
-
Yes, TCB was in particularly good form last night.
-
I am trying to get the cats ready for the time change by sleeping later in the morning, but I'm having little success. They already start letting me know it's breakfast time around 5:45, and it will be worse when the new time is 4:45!
I wonder if there's some sort of pet food dispenser with a timer on it. You set it for 6 am and VIOLA!

Looking forward to it.

Page two? Really?

Page three? Really?

Picked up some packages and an important envelope, did some banking, and have been diligently working at the piano. And last night, I got inspired and wrote an entire set of liner notes.
-
I received what sounded like a telemarketing call at 8:30 this morning. A woman with a Filipino accent said she was calling from Medicare. Medicare doesn't call people--they send letters. But I am not one who appreciates early morning phone calls unless it's something important from someone I know. I expressed my displeasure and hung up. Afterwards I wondered if it had to do with the Social Security scam going around. My hairdresser, Richard, told me he's been getting a lot of calls from someone purporting to be from Social Security and asking him to confirm his SSN. How can people be so heartless as to do this?
-
I went to acupuncture today, then stopped for my new comfort food, enchiladas.
-
Yesterday and today were both glorious, weatherwise. Such an irony with fires all over. The air was clear and I had excellent visibility of the Santa Monica Mountains, but no sign at all of the Getty fire. Fortunately, the firefighters are making great progress.
-
Our cars are all covered with a coat of ash.
-
Bruce, are you still writing songs for the musical you're mentoring/revising/whatever?
-
TTFN.

Sorry. We are actually having a very nice day.

Lovely and I am sure much appreciated.

Our upstairs dog is back. I must return to playing with him.
-
Salty's mother came and picked him up. We had a good time with him.

Social Security sent me fifty cents LESS this month - it's a long story - but that's better than the $271 less they thought they should send me.....
As a trained finance pro, I can confirm losing 50 cents is better than losing $271.

So strange. I got to the airport an hour before the flight which is always (before today) more than enough time, but they told me there was no way I'd make my flight.
They explain the reason for the unexpected lines, tried unsuccessfully to get me in a later fight - so it's tomorrow instead.
-
TCB, the THEN hotel was very nice about changing things.
From my exoerience when hotels are accommodating, that usually means they are not popular so actually need ti be nice to people.

Preordered.
-
Well, it's time for me to leave work. Before we all left today, we had to get everything off the floors because all the carpeted areas will be cleaned tomorrow. So, all boxes, things, and even floor mats have to be removed. I'm now done now, so I can go home and watch 42nd Street on PBS!
Be back later.
-
Good evening, all.
-
Full day today. Went to the Museum of Contemporary Art, had Chicago pizza for lunch, took an architecture cruise in tge cold and toured the American Writers Museum. Then had dinner at Shaw’s Crab Shack. Now in a brew pub.

Wow. So sorry.

Our cars are all covered with a coat of ash.
And it wasn’t even a high holy day.
-
The New Yorkers brought a lot of us together and certainly gave me the chance to meet many of you face to face. Important in a wholly different category from feeding my Cole Porter addiction.
-
BK, is the Godzilla collection really worth it? Barnes and Noble’s monthlong 50% off sale begins today.
-
There are a few other titles I want to get.
-
What’s with this page three malarkey?
-
Let’s move on...
-
Four!
-
Jane, the brew pub I’m in has The Balvenie on the shelf.

Sorry. Were you checking luggage?

Great tour. Last time I took it the temps were way too hot and the guide was boring.
-
How was tbe pizza?
-
There is a Stan's Donuts in Chicago if you want to try their apple fritter.
-
Jane, the brew pub I’m in has The Balvenie on the shelf.
Yum. What is the name of the pub?
-
I had 18 year Glenlevit with dinner tonight, a real treat.
-

I tried their lemon pistachio old-fashioned (a baked donut). Delicious. I hear the blueberry fritter is also heavenly.
-

Forbidden Roots. I’m glad I’m walking to the AirBnB.

Our guide was excellent and refused to talk down to people. He explained contextualism, postmodernism, modernism, deco and even echo deco.
-
How was tbe pizza?
Not my style but very good. More like an open-faced sandwich than pizza.
-
42nd Street has started and my DVR is recording!
-
Yay, George. I would love a copy. Do you need a Chicago keychain?
-
I should have asked that in Greece. Sorry.
-
Hello all
-
I am so glad I joined this firm
-
Yay, George. I would love a copy. Do you need a Chicago keychain?
I would love a Chicago keychain! And I already had you and Jrand on my list. ;D
-
I was asked by the receptionist if I would care to join her a couple of others for a get together tonight
-
I am not in San Antonio but I sense I have not received my copy of The New Yorkers yet. Should I file a complaint with amazon?
-
Hi, Vixmom!
-
I thought it would be a dinner out but t she actually had us to her home, it was just 4 of us , the other two being the two ladies I have been helping in the real estate department
-
I never realized the youngest of them is the exact age as the Vixter and in fact was in her graduating class and knew her all through school, although they ran in different circles
-
The 4 of us had so much fun, we spent 6 hours just laughing and telling stories
-
I just got home
-
Hi, Vixmom!
Hi John!
-
My copy of the New Yorkers hadn’t arrived yet either , which is extremely unacceptable as I AM a New Yorker
-
I have, of course, filed a PayPal dispute
-
The woman playing Maggie (Carole Cook's role) is very funny!
-
And complained bitterly on FB
-
George May I be added to the list as well please?
-
Oh looky, I found page 5
-
And complained bitterly on FB
As well you should!
-
George May I be added to the list as well please?
Of course!
-
I am sorry to hear about FJLs travel troubles and send vibes for a better trip tomorrow
-
I am pleased to hear then hotel was accommodating
-
George May I be added to the list as well please?
Of course!
Thank you George!

The annoying thing about the PBS broadcast is that there's been so far one big banner across the screen advertising another show. :P
-
Hopefully, there won't be anymore.
-
Jeanne, yes, I'm writing music for the songs, and giving lots of notes and suggestions on the lyrics. So far I'm happy with what's been done.
-
Had a very nice dinner meeting at the Thai jernt that was Nick Redman's favorite. Had chicken with cashews, the little Thai salad, and we split some Pad Thai - all very good.
-
Now I'm home, listening to something called music.
-

I tried their lemon pistachio old-fashioned (a baked donut). Delicious. I hear the blueberry fritter is also heavenly.
The blueberry is delicious and just as good, however, since I rarely get one I prefer the traditional apple.

Thanks. I will ask Bryan if he has been there. I doubt they are going out drinking these days 😊

That's good. I think I should have said annoying more than boring. Maybe it was the heat. We felt she should have told us where the buildings were before talking about them and before we passed them.
-

He should have a keychain from Greece ;)
-

Yay 😊😊😊

I may have not picked one up there.

DR George I do wish you kept a list of all the locations you had keychains from.. i think it would be very interesting.

I've been collecting keychains for probably 40 years. That would be some list!
-
It would be a glorious list.

Good evening.

Hi, Tom.
-
42nd Street is over and I really liked it.
