Yesterday was a most frustrating day. I tried to call HRA to check on my Medicare and lost too much time waiting to speak to someone after losing more time punching buttons on the phone and hoping I would finally speak to a real person.

Then I spent too much time trying to resolve ths jury duty summons. I am currently stuck between my doctor, a friend at the court house, and telephone numbers that have been changed as soon as the summons went into the post or I dialed wrong.

I also promised this young man I've befriended to send him McGlinn recordings he requested, and that's taking up more time than I realized. I got nothing accomplished on the Mattress music yesterday.

Good Morning.  WC rehearsal last night was kinda a hot mess.  What turned into cleaning vocals and dances, turned into all about the set.  That's what Sunday is for.   Anyway, we only got through Act One.  I certainly am lucky that the gal playing Martha is just wonderful, and we've worked hard together to get our scenes right etc.  General Waverly really is the heart of the show, I hope I can put that across. 

Today, it's lemon meringue pie time.  Let's see how this goes.

Belated answer to what BK asked yesterday, regarding Janet Maslin:

THE FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL.  68th Street Playhouse, July 25, 1977.

You know, something tells me she didn't fall in love with it on that first viewing. 8)  Did she ever return to it?

Conveniently located near us is a little freeway entrance that only goes one way.  The larger entrance and exit is farther down the road.  While we still need to take the longer way home we appreciate this little entrance that saves us time when we drive that way, as we do to go to the gym and other errands.

Title: Re: FOOD, INGLORIOUS, FOOD
Post by: Jane on November 21, 2023, 01:16:23 PM
As you approach it doesn't look at all like a freeway entrance, plus after going under the old stone bridge it curves to the right making it a bit difficult to know for sure where you are going the first time you drive it.
Title: Re: FOOD, INGLORIOUS, FOOD
Post by: Jane on November 21, 2023, 01:17:31 PM
You can see the warning sign on the right showing the heighth restrictions on the bridge.  Prior to that there is a sign saying no trucks.
Title: Re: FOOD, INGLORIOUS, FOOD
Post by: Jane on November 21, 2023, 01:21:43 PM
As we passed that entrance on our way home from the gym today we saw a BIG truck stuck under the bridge.  As we passed the street from the entrance side we turned to see what it looked like down there. (There is a business parking lot we could go through without getting in the way). Lots of police cars and a big mess.

I wish we could have taken a photo.
Title: Re: FOOD, INGLORIOUS, FOOD
Post by: Jane on November 21, 2023, 01:23:05 PM
Aside from missing the warning signs, it is such an awkward entrance and obvious that a long truck would not be able to easily, if at all, make the right turn onto the on ramp.
Title: Re: FOOD, INGLORIOUS, FOOD

Also there are signs along the road before the turn indicating trucks should turn around.  They simply don't read the signs.  We see it all the time, except not under the bridge as well as running out of room to easily turn around.

I didn’t even stop at the bakery afterwards, but I did stop at Dollar-and-a-Quarter Tree, which was quite crowded. Best to avoid it just before Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I have two very slow drains. Why pay $6 when you can pay $1.25? (For Liquid Plumber)

From a friend at the Court House regarding jury duty:
Found your record and as you're over 75, have entered a permanent excusal. All taken care of. You can stay home with your cats.
First good news today!

YAY! I was hoping NY had this kind of provision. You should not have to deal with jury duty on top of everything else.

Was the bakery crowded or were you too drained after the dental work?  Congrats on being done.

I doubt that it was crowded. I was just worn out.

As you approach it doesn't look at all like a freeway entrance, plus after going under the old stone bridge it curves to the right making it a bit difficult to know for sure where you are going the first time you drive it.

As we passed that entrance on our way home from the gym today we saw a BIG truck stuck under the bridge.  As we passed the street from the entrance side we turned to see what it looked like down there. (There is a business parking lot we could go through without getting in the way). Lots of police cars and a big mess.

I wish we could have taken a photo.

Yikes :o Hopefully, trucks getting stuck doesn't happen very often!

Today was Dental Visit #4 from last month’s dental emergency. The new crowns and onlay have been installed and I am done! Poorer, too. Very glad it’s over. It was more involved than I expected, but it’s done.

Great news about it all being done, Jeanne!

I didn’t even stop at the bakery afterwards, but I did stop at Dollar-and-a-Quarter Tree, which was quite crowded. Best to avoid it just before Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I have two very slow drains. Why pay $6 when you can pay $1.25? (For Liquid Plumber)

Good question!

The first time I drove under the bridge, even having been under it numerous times with Keith, I went slowly.  It really doesn't feel or look like a freeway entrance until after you go under the bridge and begin the curve.

Tuesday evening greetings!  We survived Moving Day #2 and are now surrounded by boxes.  The crew also helped us drag a lot of junk out of the basement.  One wanted the old pinball machine that we’d inherited from previous owners and another took a pile of scrap wood that had lived under the package wrapping table.

DR Ginny did you put your house up for sale or decide to wait until after you move?  I believe you had intended to put it up but then you have been very busy.

DR Jane, the realtor recommended at the end of August that we clear out, let her bring in a spruce-up crew, and then list the house.  That meant we didn’t have to keep it presentable AND pack for moving at the same time.
