Sorry I missed posting last night!  I was watching the Three Hotels - Streaming Event (https://youtu.be/ftAMYTsqDlM) on YouTube:

Quote
Two-time Emmy Award winner Bobby Cannavale and Academy Award winner Marisa Tomei are set to star in a streamed reading of Jon Robin Baitz’s lauded and deeply stirring play Three Hotels.

The special evening, which benefits Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, is produced by Tectonic Theater Project and directed by celebrated two-time Tony Award nominee Moisés Kaufman.

The free streamed reading, set for 8 pm Eastern on Tuesday, January 26, will include a special introduction by Baitz and Kaufman. It can be watched here and on Broadway Cares’ YouTube channel. It will be available through Saturday, January 30.

So, we had a little bit of excitement here yesterday afternoon.

Nathan had to go out but the car wouldn't start. Battery's up for replacement anyway, so he decided to jump start it and replace it today or tomorrow. He was going to use my car to jump it, but I said don't bother doing that now (it had started snowing), just drive my car instead. He started out, then had to stop for a moment in front of the house to get something. The driveway is sloping downward there and he set the hand brake, made sure the car was standing still, and got out. A few seconds later the car began rolling. It was very slow and gentle because the hand brake was *mostly* holding it, but there was no way to jump in and stop it before it nestled itself into the trees.

Here's where it rolled itself to a stop.

Post by: ChasSmith on January 27, 2021, 08:55:07 AM
And here's what it took today to get it out.


Title: Re: GET IT? GOT IT. GOOD
Post by: ChasSmith on January 27, 2021, 09:01:55 AM
AAA couldn't do it. Because of how and where it was sitting, it required a "rotator" to safely lift it out. This costs their minimum $1,200, which will be covered by insurance and partly by AAA (because if they can't complete a rescue operation themselves, you can submit for reimbursement).

These are the guys who are called out when eighteen-wheelers are down, so this kind of thing is a walk in the park for them. Next, they take it to their place and inspect it for damage, and then we do whatever we need to do. It looks like there's no mechanical damage, just a front "apron" that needs to be replaced. But we shall see what we shall see. Right?

Well, DRs ChasSmith and Ginny have had excitement today.  My life has been rather tranquil by comparison, since the only excitement was having Thatch and Stella deciding they wanted to help me edit Oh, Boy!  Luckily it wasn't both at the same time. Thatch helped me with "Till the Clouds Roll By," and Stella stepped in to assist on the coda.

What you can't tell from that picture is how far down the slope the two right wheels were, and how uneven and rocky the ground is. Pulling it out would have been unacceptably risky to the axles and undercarriage. Even a traditional "wrecker" with pulley and hook could not have properly maneuvered the car in that location. One might ask (and we did) why it can't simply come out the way it went in, but it doesn't always work that way.

I spent about twenty minutes on hold this morning, trying to get another ultrasound appointment, only to learn that the referral hadn't been approved yet. sigh. The surgeon said he needed another ultrasound. What's not to approve??

Well, I just checked my e-mail and Tom had sent me another picture of his cats.  This has better lighting:

Very nice. I can now understand the comments about the two kitties looking a lot alike.

Graziella who works at the copy store put this on her Facebook:

"Yesterday this guy comes in and says he wants his stuff double sided.  I say sure.  I asked my friend Velma and she said ALL of our paper is double-sided.  We don't have any single sided paper.  So I did it regular.  I and Velma ain't dumb!"

Wearing the mask while walking seems to help. No allergy problems last night.

Glad to hear it. My acupuncturist told me that lots of patients come in complaining about allergies. She's now advising them to wear a mask when outdoors.

Lisa at Dr Taylor's office called and said my partial partial will not be  ready on February 4......so I have been rescheduled for February 8....once they see that it works, I guess they take it back for a bit to put the choppers in.

DR JEANNE I am just doing the bottom right now because the $$$ come out of my pocket.  My top teeth only have a few problems....I have to lose four of them on the side.

I can do that later in the spring......if I find the spendable money....well money that I am comfortable spending.

Dental expenses are even worse than car repairs. Vibes your are comfortable with the partials and they are trouble-free.

Happy Wednesday.  I always find it more challenging to do my job when I have to rely on others to send me things in order to do my job.  But, I'm staying positive.  I was going to do some recording this eve but it seems that I left my iPad at school with all my music on it. Looks like that will be saved for tomorrow.  But it will get done.  Been wearing my video hat lately, and dealing with those who have no clue on how a video is put together.  Patience - it's coming in handy!

It has been years since I have had a comfy winter robe.  Today my very soft petite robe arrived from LL Bean.  I had to wait over a month for it.  Petite so the arms are not too long.  I went with medium for extra room.

I love it.

How funny! I ordered the same style robe a year or two ago in taupe. I loved it in the photo, but, unfortunately, it just didn't fit me right somehow and I sent it back. Mine was a medium, also. I'm glad yours is a good fit and it's a lovely blue. Many happy nights wearing it!

Watched the first forty minutes of Da Five Bloods - not really my kind of movie but was happy to see friend Norm Lewis is one of the five, although of the five he has very little to do so far. I read one review that said the film runs two hours and thirty-five minutes and doesn't seem a minute too long. I thought it felt long in just forty minutes, so, go know.

I have told this story here before, but in light of her death, I'm repeating myself.

The funniest interview, bar none, I ever did was with Cloris Leachman. She was touring in a one-woman show as Grandma Moses, and I had a half-hour with her on the phone. She immediately asked me if I wanted the G-rated interview or the X-rated one, and I told the X, of course. She shouted "Oh, goody" and launched into a standup routine that was indeed filthy and so funny it had me gasping for air at times. I wish I had a recording of it. I don't really think I got many questions in because she was very much like Robin Williams, one idea fed into another. Sometimes they built into a snowball. Other times, they just bounced all over the place. 

We never really talked about Grandma Moses. Or Phyllis Lindstrom. Or Frau Blucher. And it didn't matter. I wrote a story. I used one or two cleaner quotes, though not in quote marks, and I walked away with a great memory.

Hi, Tom.

Post by: TCB on January 27, 2021, 11:19:50 PM
So, we had a little bit of excitement here yesterday afternoon.

Nathan had to go out but the car wouldn't start. Battery's up for replacement anyway, so he decided to jump start it and replace it today or tomorrow. He was going to use my car to jump it, but I said don't bother doing that now (it had started snowing), just drive my car instead. He started out, then had to stop for a moment in front of the house to get something. The driveway is sloping downward there and he set the hand brake, made sure the car was standing still, and got out. A few seconds later the car began rolling. It was very slow and gentle because the hand brake was *mostly* holding it, but there was no way to jump in and stop it before it nestled itself into the trees.

Here's where it rolled itself to a stop.





Oh my gosh, Chas, I am glad it wasn’t worse.

Well, I just checked my e-mail and Tom had sent me another picture of his cats.  This has better lighting:

If you click & enlarge the photo you can see how beautiful they are, also the differences between them.  Which is which?


The kitty on the left is Sasha, which makes the kitty on the right, Draco.

Well, DRs ChasSmith and Ginny have had excitement today.  My life has been rather tranquil by comparison, since the only excitement was having Thatch and Stella deciding they wanted to help me edit Oh, Boy!  Luckily it wasn't both at the same time. Thatch helped me with "Till the Clouds Roll By," and Stella stepped in to assist on the coda.

I thought I had a coda the other day, but I think it might be allergies.
