I just heard on the news that a new Loch Ness monster search will begin today.

Thanks to DR GEORGE, DR singdaw, and DR ELMORE for the birthday wishes!
DR Matthew will provide the page turn dance.
Let me guess... you wrote them?
Yes, it is I - the new and improved JRAND73.....
Got my monsters confused. Sorry.
I haz never attended a roadshow engagement. I was amazed and enthralled to read BK's list!
Here it is Saturday again. This week whooshed by so very quickly.
Yesterday, I had several bouts of thinking it was Saturday and quickly remembering that, No, it's only Friday.
I am beginning to wonder if a time may come when I won't remember anything at all. There is no history of that in my family, but I don't know how common it is to be unsure about the day/date among retired people.
I am certain my mom was on the right track by scheduling her days of the week in ways that helped her know what day it was. She played bridge twice a week, volunteered at the genealogical society once a week, and had a hair appointment on a fourth day. I believe the 5th day was always for shopping. Saturday's were for going to the pool hall for lunch, and Sundas were church.
I do believe I should commit myself to some routine or other.
DR Ron Pulliam, in your new schedule, I recommend eating hot fudge sundaes on Sundays.

Today we are going to see the tour of Beetlejuice. I have no idea what to expect. But it looked fun on the Youtube clip from the Tony Awards a few years ago.
Last night I watched Jim Fall's clever romantic comedy TRICK, which I saw several times in its 1999 release. It still makes me laugh and moves me to tears. My friends Steve Hayes and Kevin Chamberlin are wonderful in it, and the two leads are amazing. Tori Spellig has some wonderful moments, but I think there's way too much of her.

I remember watching that and thoroughly enjoying the movie. :)
The movie DR elmore3003 referred to, Trick (1999), does not seem to be available to purchase or to stream any longer. I know I owned a copy at one time.

It's a nice day here - temps in the low 80's. Windows open and no AC on.....just a few fans blowing.
I saw Ben-Hur with my parents.
My callback was fine. I learned the dance, and I really didn't suck, but I'm not a dancer. I didn't have to read because the scenes I would have read were with the Martha character who was pre-cast (OK by me as they were up front about it) she wasn't going to be there today, so I got to leave after the dance audition. Not before I asked the director if she needed me to come back and read, she basically told me I was cast - and asked if I didn't mind being put in some musical numbers because she liked my personality (who's ever said THAT before!) - anyway, when it's official, I'll make the official announcement. In the meantime there are. LOT of line to memorize - just in case, of course!

Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World was where my date took me the evening we graduated Jr. High. We went with his best friend, also in our class. I don't remember who he took. First we had dinner at a nice restaurant. He seemed like half my class was at the movie.
I saw Ben-Hur with my parents.
The Charleton Heston version is one of my sister's favorite movies.
Stopped to see the MIL this afternoon. She seems to be settling in well, and her apartment is really shaping up with all the art up on the walls.

I got a cheap kit on Amazon to test for my blood type. I used to know it, but have forgotten. Then I'll fill out a "File of Life" template to hang on the icebox.
Icebox. That's what they're still calling it, right? I avoid the "R" word because I can never remember the right way to spell it. D? No D?

Thank you, DR George. For the spelling clarification, I mean.
I finally found it! The bell curve.

Thanks, Singdaw! Purchased, except that I got the 2-pack...just in case I make a mistake. ::)

Jane, every time I see you use that spelling, I think of the "real" meaning:
Thank you, DR George. For the spelling clarification, I mean.
You're welcome. It was no problem. :)
Get your cat their own computer, so you can get some work done.
We had a scare with our AC yesterday, one of the hottest and most humid days of the summer. We determined at about 6pm that the AC was not running and the thermostat was unresponsive. Fortunately our extended family includes our HVAC guys, so they were here almost immediately and fixed the problem. The AC ran continuously until about 4am to finally cool the house back down.
:)
EIGHT!
DR John how is your mother's bronchitis?

Refrigerator does not have "d" in it. Frigidaire has the "d", but that is a brand name and not the generic name for the icebox itself.
Euphemistically, many folks reference "the Fridge", but that was almost based on the brand name rather than generic "refrigerator."
