I slept okay, nothing spectacular, and I had several strange dreams in one of which Manhattan became Venice with me riding a gondola of sorts around Columbus Circle to Carnegie Hall, where I was participating as narrator in a Victor Herbert concert.

Is sixty-seven more...

Listening to Percy Faith's rendition of the score of Li'l Abner.
Title: Re: WHEN WRITING GOES ASTRAY
Post by: ChasSmith on August 16, 2023, 08:06:46 AM
So last night I was hungry for something simple, and since what I sometimes do for something simple is make a serving or two of pasta with just butter and herbs, I decided to do that.

As I was taking the pasta out of the cupboard (folks, just so you know, I'm a heathen and have never made my own pasta), I spied a lonely plum tomato sitting in the bowl on the counter. Since we'd been talking all day about mac and cheese and I'd been remembering my mother's with tomato in it, I decided to cut this one up and just stir the fresh pieces into the bowl. Just to get that tomato-y taste thing going. And you know what? It was delicious. Just the cool (or room temperature) pieces of fresh tomato (which I'd already seasoned with fresh ground pepper and sea salt) stirred in with the hot buttered & herbed pasta. Absolutely delicious. You can expect a repeat on this one very soon.

I am now Medicaid savvy and the staff and security at the Chinatown HRA office were friendly and very helpful. All went well: Access-a-Ride arrived on time to pick me up, and I had a lovely lady driver brig me back uptown.

I left the house at 9:50 a.m., went to the bank, stopped at the post office, went to the recycling center and then got to my haircut appointment by 10:20 a.m.

After the haircut, I bought lunch at Park Row No. 1 (hot pastrami, potato salad and a dill pickle), also bought a cup of lobster bisque for my din-din.

Spent my afternoon watching youtube videos.

Post by: Ron Pulliam on August 16, 2023, 03:53:08 PM
I know that many of you go through youtube offerings.  I'd like to recommend some of the vids for "The Voice" from overseas. 

The Voice Portugal had a contestant named Fernando Daniel.  He has an incredible voice, and he won his year.  All his songs were sung in English, as it turns out, but his two albums are in Portuguese.  His audition song was Adele's "When We Were Young".  I have listened to Adele and others sing this song, but his version is my favorite.  It's on several videos on youtube. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZv0JozZZF4

The Voice Germany has had a few "wow" singers, as well.  One is Matthias Nebel, who sings "Bed of Roses" like there is no tomorrow. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGcQev48cXU

Another is Alexander Eder who has a very nice, resounding bass, which he uses on country music.

I watched the third new episode of "Only Murders in the Building" this evening.

Quite entertaining.  Meryl Streep was guest star and sang a beautiful song that Martin Short's character wrote for his "new musical".

Tonight we heard the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio at the Dakota Jazz Club.

Delvon plays a Hammond B3 organ. There's not a lot of room for subtlety.

For that reason, the bass guitarist and the drummer were actually more impressive than the front man.

Wild boar! That’s something I’ve never tried. Is it similar to pork or more gamey?

In a woods near here on a trail, there’s what they call an Enchanted Forest where people have put various gnomes and tree sprites, little animal statues and whatnot. The kids and I wanted to add to it, so we found a tiny chair at a thrift shop and a frog at another thrift shop, and we added those to the woods.
