Well, you've read the notes, the notes had musical notes by Mahler and Schubert and Schreker, and now it is time for you to post until the noted cows come home.

Topic of the Day:  not a fan of Philly cheesesteak sandwiches.  Red Wagon (https://www.redwagontumwater.com/), a local burger joint that has some of the best burgers in town, has a really good Chicken cheesesteak sandwich.  It's quite delish.

A former Spurs player, Malick Rose, was from Philadelphia. He opened his own cheesesteak restaurant in San Antonio. In the beginning, he was importing the bread. Now it’s a food truck. The bread isn’t imported. The end result is okay, but nothing I would go out of my way for.

When in downtown Philly, a visit to Jim's Steaks on South St. is a must. Of course I haven't been there in 30+ years, so I need to do this myself and see if they're still as great as ever. They always had a line going out the door.

I see, however, that it's now called Jim's South St. - and they're closed - but reopening soon? - because of a fire!

I didn't read further than that, so I hope all is well with their return. I don't like the change of name, though. That' just silly. I wonder if they changed ownership. Too many questions. I could seek the answers, but maybe another time.
Title: Re: WHEN MAHLER WAS SCHUBERT
Post by: ChasSmith on November 14, 2023, 06:24:47 AM
I don't mind a review in which the reviewer doesn't love the piece. It's what they say about the production that counts. Well, mostly. Which brings us to Weiser-Most - whose name is actually Welser-Möst - with an L and an umlaut.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Welser-Möst

Getting back to the review, it was a damned positive one. Congrats to BK and all concerned.

Tuesday afternoon greetings.  Richard and I are recovering, physically and emotionally, from last night’s and this morning’s funeral events for our sister-in-law Edna.  Rob arrived yesterday in time to attend visitation with us and his cousins were surprised and pleased to see he’d made the effort to be here.

This morning’s service was at the church where Richard’s parents, Richard and his brothers, and our son grew up and where Richard and I were married.  It was very sweet and then we proceeded to Woodside Cemetery and back to the church for a buffet lunch.  Rob is on his way back to Chicago now.

DR Ginny, moving is emotionally difficult.  The loss of a loved one is difficult.  Now you have the combination to cope with.  I'm glad Rob could be there with you.

I had an appointment this morning for a colonoscopy consultation with a gastroenterologist in Augusta GA.

I have had one procedure way back when I was living and working in Oakland CA.  I'm guessing it was no earlier than 2012.  Since that time, I have been doing the annual home tests.  This year, however, my doctor wants the real deal.

So...I am scheduled for Nov. 27th at 11 a.m.  That's the Monday after Thanksgiving.   And there will be several days of eating only specific things plus the 24-hour fast the day before while I guzzle from the jug of misery. 

I don't mind the procedure, but the prep is a pill.

It will be a busy weekend, of sorts.   My Thanksgiving will be spent at my cousin Ashleigh's home in Simpsonville SC where she lives a charmed life with her husband Clay, her son Anderson (by her first marriage) and her husband's three sons Cross, Cade and Stone.  Two of his sons (in their early 20s) live next door to Ashleigh in a house she and Clay own, and the third son is a student at USC.  It's a houseful of testosterone and high spirits, let me tell you!!! They are a delightful family!   Ashleigh is my cousin Butch's eldest child, and he and Sharon and I will be driving up Thanksgiving morning.  Butch's son Benjamin (from his second marriage) may be joining us.  He's a student at nearby Wofford University.

On Saturday, Nov. 25th, my cousin Debra and I will be driving up to Roebuck SC (about 1 1/2 hours from Johnston) for the funeral of our cousin John Brooks.  He is the final link to our mothers' family on their mother's side.  My maternal grandmother was Ruby Mae Brooks and she married our grandfather, Lester Lee Rook.  The Rook-Brookses is how I have always thought of them.   I have cousins in both branches, but I see them only once in a great while, and usually just at funerals.  It's a sad part of our life at our ages.

I made it, DR Jane, because I’m trying to use up groceries.  I had one can of pumpkin, one can of evaporated milk, and a pair of Pillsbury pie crusts.  The pie only needed one crust, so I made what my mother called wound-up cookies:  spread a flattened pie crust with butter, sprinkle with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar, roll up, slice and bake.  Yum!

DR Ron, there are lots of reason we don't care for the new mattress.  First, and most important, our backs are worse vs better using it.  It should feel good lying down on the mattress at night, not prompt a sigh of discomfort-lol.  According to the software I am still sleeping. 

Okay.  I have wanted a Sleep Number for many years and recently considered buying one.  I now have doubts.  I thought, perhaps, you had some issues with the technology that I might need to be aware of.

It is very difficult to determine if a mattress will really be good for you just by testing it at the store, especially with a sleep number type of mattress since you need to determine what the best setting is. That can't really be done until you sleep on it. 

Compared to our most comfortable sleep numbers (we are each very different) the Saatva RX mattress felt more comfortable to both of us in the store.

If the new mattress isn't better I don't know what we will do.

Sugar cookies are probably fine, But not ones with red frosting.

Wow!  Is that one whole cookie, or a bunch stacked together to look like one?

I am home after two very successful rides from my car service, but I am less thrilled with the news. Dr Saltzman wants ASAP blood tests and stool samples ASAP, but the endoscopy and colonoscopy cannot be scheduled earlier than Feb. 2. This means the hip replacement cannot be scheduled before then.

That’s horrendous, three months?!

Someone tweeted this earlier tonight:

Jonathan Groff just announced from the stage at Merrily that they’ve recorded a cast album and it’s being released digitally tonight at midnight.

It must've been east coast midnight because it's available now. :)

One could make a brotherly double feature of the Albert Brooks documentary and the Bob Einstein documentary.

What about your fountain pen.

I had it in my pocket on Saturday at the theater and I was coming back to the theater from the restroom (we have to go to the mall restrooms because the one in the theater is in the back and it's for the actors).

I fell asleep twice already waiting for the damn fountain pen update.

Anyway, I put my hand in my pocket and realized that the cap was not screwed on, so I took it out and it slip out of my hand and landed on the nib!
Title: Re: WHEN MAHLER WAS SCHUBERT
Post by: George on November 15, 2023, 12:26:37 AM
That jammed the nib into the pen and essentially ruined it. :(

Of the four that I got, that was my favorite.
Title: Re: WHEN MAHLER WAS SCHUBERT

Fortunately, they weren't expensive (only $1+$4 shipping).
Title: Re: WHEN MAHLER WAS SCHUBERT
Post by: George on November 15, 2023, 12:27:53 AM
So, I now have another of the pens that I'm using, and I'll be MUCH more careful with it. ::)
Title: Re: WHEN MAHLER WAS SCHUBERT
Post by: George on November 15, 2023, 12:28:49 AM
Then, I was just trying to see if I could find the e-mails from when I bought them, but I can't find any e-mails that have "fountain" or "fountain pen" in it, so I have no idea where I got them.

Slightly different type of wood, but very similar metal screwcap.

The image is from Wood Fountain Pens (https://woodfountainpens.com/), but I know that that's not where I got my fountain pens.
