Good morning, all!

Yesterday was a terrible day: three - count 'em 3! - bouts of sickness, so I'm hapy I held off the laundry to today. This situation is depressing and really getting me down. I don't know if the situation s getting worsr, or if I am in another bad period that will calm down in a bit.
-
DR vixmom, best of luck on the glasses search. It's so irritating.
-
DR JohnG, I think my only Chabrol films, like you, are Madame Bovary and La Ceremonie.
-
On one of my last DMV visits, I waited in a long line for my photo. The person in front of me was a very pretty young lady. When she got to the photographer, he took her photo, then proceeded to let her see it, took another, and another until she was happy. Then it was my turn. My photo looked as if I were helped from my coffin and it stayed on my license until the next renewal.
-
Wishing our Jane a marvelous birthday!

Health vibes for Larry

Good morning, all.

I think I failed the written test when I went to get my learner’s permit. And I failed the driving test during parallel parking on my first attempt to get a license. Not happy memories.

I’m tired. But I need to stir.

My dad loved bolo ties. But I don’t think he would have worn this one.

Happy first night of Hanukkah, y’all. (However you spell it.)

3.5 hours to go. It’s been a slog through Barbra’s politics.
-
She had a funny bit of diction. She made Maya Angelou’s first name sound like Meyer.
-
She often mentions her fondness for the empire style of dress. Most of the time, she pronounces it “om-peer.” But once it’s “em-pire.”
-
After 45 hours, it’s beginning to get long.

DMV vibes for MR BK!!!

In my most recent BMV experience - I was getting a new title for Smarty.
So my uncle had signed his title and wrote GIFT on the price line. I had stopped at the insurance place and got insurance for it [my uncle still had insurance on it until I canceled it a few days later].
I got there and got my number.....something like 36.
-
I sat down and was looking all around to see what I could see.
One of the ladies behind the counter called: "35!" I jumped up and yelled "Bingo!" And then I realized it was not my number.
She called the number again......no one said anything. I was looking at her and got all excited. She called the number again.....no one.
Then she looked right at me and called MY NUMBER. I jumped up and said "ME!"
Everyone applauded and I was the star of the BMV that day.
Oh, and I got my temp title.....and the real one was mailed to me a week later.
-
I'm up, I'm up - six hours of sleep. DMV site seems to be down. So, guess I'll just drive over there at nine.
-
Got on the site. The "get in line" option is good on Thursday but you can't use it until nine. So, I'll go back online at nine and try it.
-
I shall shortly be on my way to the DMV.

Bruce, thank you for the big birthday cheer this morning :)

Good afternoon, all.

1. My first license was in Florida. Back in the mid-1960s the driving tests were administered by the highway patrol. I don't remember what it was in my driving that day that inspired the officer to make this remark, but it went something like "I'm approving the issuance of your license, kid. Now don't go making a fool out of me." Or some such. I was secretly very relieved that he approved it AND didn't say anything of the sort to my parents when we went inside.
2. In 1972, upon moving to L.A., I went to the Hollywood DMV to turn in my Ohio license and become a Californian. After the driving test, which I assumed had been satisfactory, the crusty old officer shocked me by saying he couldn't pass me - reason being, I hadn't looked over my shoulder when turning or making lane changes, something he insisted on in addition to using the mirrors. He was quick to assure me I could come back the next day, retake the driving test, and pass as long as I did that right. Which I did. I got a nice lady tester this time, and there was no problem at all. She had also kind of smiled and nodded knowingly when I first told her what had happened and she saw who the first tester had been.
I'll tell you what, though. To this day, I remember that guy's edict all the time, and I'm better than a lot of people when it comes to swiveling my head and keeping watch on all sides.

Back from the DMV. I arrived at 9:40, had to wait in a short line to get my non-appointment number, twenty minutes later I was called, ten minutes after that I was done. I'm renewed, have my interim license until the real one arrives and that cloud has now cleared.

From DR Rodzinski:
The problem with Archie Bunker is if you were unfortunate enough to have an Archie Bunker in your real life, they didn’t see him as a satirical character, but a hero.
I guess that explains much about the current hero worship of a certain person.

I had lunch/early afternoon meetings both Monday and Tuesday with a couple of my ladies’ groups. As much as I love my friends, I was glad yesterday that I didn’t have to get dressed up and be somewhere by noon. Richard and I were sitting in our living room, still in our jammies, enjoying our first tea and coffee (respectively) of the day when our doorbell rang at 8am.
-
It was a guy from the HVAC company that has the contract for this whole complex, here to install a part in our furnace which is in the rafters with access through the garage. Richard went out to move both cars and the guy got right to work.
-
Were you expecting this part to be installed?
-
Fortunately, we did not return to our recliners - I went to the kitchen to unload the dishwasher and Richard went to the bathroom. I heard an awful crash and, upon investigation, found a huge hole on our ceiling right above Richard’s chair and all kinds of crud all over the chair and floor. It was a miracle I didn’t also find the HVAC guy. His foot slipped and punctured the ceiling, but he didn’t fall through.
-
Were you expecting this part to be installed?
We’ve known since we moved in that the heat was not working properly, but, no, we’d had no notification of this visit.
-
So, of course, we contacted our maintenance team and they were right here to clean up and patch the hole with some of the cardboard boxes Richard had flattened after we unpacked them. They promised they’d get the drywall artist here as soon as possible. We are very grateful this is THEIR problem to solve.

Oh no, but thank goodness you were both out of the room. Thank goodness for the second miracle that the guy didn't fall through the ceiling. Is he ok?

And they cleaned up the mess as well, wow. I hope they did a good job and you didn't have to clean again once they were done.
-
I am trying to decide on a feel good movie to watch tonight.
-
Eventually we had 3 HVAC guys here in 3 trucks for 3+ hours trying to fix the heating system. They said they’d be back “tomorrow.” So, this morning we got up at 7:30, got dressed, and - you guessed it - they never showed.
-
Mega health vibes to Elmore.
Did your doctor say what the next step is?
Colonoscopy and endoscopy.

When Richard had those 2 procedures at the same time he said to the doctor, “I hope you wash your hands in between!”

Richard didn’t want to sit in his chair until it was vacuumed, so we had to make a stealth visit to the old house last night to retrieve our vacuum cleaner.

Normally Bryan sends me flowers for my birthday. This year, since I am old, Craig sent a beautiful arrangement. He then called during a break at work.

That particular branch of the DMV is, for whatever reason, never that crowded. Other DMVs, you can't even get an appointment for months and then it's a two or three-hour ordeal. I'm keeping mum on the subject.

Yes, I’ve requested an estimate from Merry Maids for a move-out cleaning.
-
Oh man, what a close call, DR Ginny. In more ways than one!
I've had to have two (2) such ceiling repairs here. The first was MY fault, when I didn't look where I was going and one leg busted through from the attic into my bathroom. Oops.
The Xfinity cable guy did it the second time. He thought he was stepping on plywood, but I suddenly heard a noise and an expletive, and he'd put a leg through to another room. The cable company's insurance paid immediately, no problem or delay there.
Anyway, I'm very glad you two were away from the area. Even small debris would not have been a nice thing to have raining down on you.

Congrats to Licensed Driver BK.

I just received the new BFI release of Michael Powell's film of Bartok's Bluebeard's Castle.
I'd never seen that, and on just checking out the disc, I can tell you it is a feast for the eyes. I hope for the ears as well, but I won't have a good chance to properly watch and listen to it or a couple of days. Very glad to have it, though.

Santa used to arrive on a firetruck, but now he arrives on a boat.

There are boats like this in the parade that has been going past us the last few nights, just not tonight.

Nice.

;D
-
The view.
-
It was much prettier in person.
-
The marina.
-
That was the view at the end of the evening.
-
When we returned home my flowers from Bryan were waiting for me. He is working tonight so we will talk tomorrow.
-
I almost forgot to light the Menorah.
-
That's pretty, DR Jane.
-
Thank you.
-
We are going to watch SPY with Melissa McCarthy.
-
Filming Jeannie...
-
'night
-
Will there be birthday popcorn? :)
-
You're probably full.
-
People say, "Nothing is impossible."
-
But I do nothing every day!
-
I think I also used up my annual quota of exclamation points quite some time ago.
-
Like, last January.
-
Did you know that Miyazaki has a new film in theaters now? The Boy and the Heron
-
Also, the Broadway musical Waitress was filmed (back in 2021) and is now in theaters.
-
Good night, friends.
-
On PAGE EIGHT.
-
We are going to watch SPY with Melissa McCarthy.
Loved Jason Statham in that.
-
It was no chamber orchestra tonight. There were 50 musicians playing Schumann’s joyous Symphony No. 4.
-
They also played Mozart’s Don Giovanni Overture, which was used in last night’s movie, La Ceremonie.
-
And a pianist, Tomomi Sato, joined them for Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20.
-
Now back to Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
-
Mega health vibes to Elmore.
Did your doctor say what the next step is?
Colonoscopy and endoscopy.
Ugh!!
-
Six episodes in Alfred Hitchcock Presents and two have starred Gene Berry. Very different, but he’s good in both.
-
Yikes! Been wanting to go into my attic to see what’s up with one of our exhaust fans. Now Ginny’s story has me scared I’ll smash through my ceiling. Glad that story wasn’t worse.
-
It was on an episode of Presents where Billy Mumy claims Hitch intentionally terrorized him.
-
A hearty 8 pages of posts already. Nice.
-
Glad the DMV nightmare is over.
-
After a year and a half, we finally got our appointments for our interviews to get our Nexus border cards. This will allow us to more quickly pass through the border. A big deal. Some days we have to wait in line behind Canadians who come here to pick up parcels and gas.
-
Healthy digestive vibes dear Elmore.
-
That particular branch of the DMV is, for whatever reason, never that crowded. Other DMVs, you can't even get an appointment for months and then it's a two or three-hour ordeal. I'm keeping mum on the subject.
Very smart ;)
Except if HHW becomes the most popular site on the Internet, then everyone will find out, and then where will you be?? :o
-
;)
-
I wonder if Streisand writes about The Streisand Effect in her book.

The view.

That is quite the view, Jane. :)

Thanks for sharing!

Also, the Broadway musical Waitress was filmed (back in 2021) and is now in theaters.
I want to see this.
-
Earlier tonight, my friend Kyle and I recorded our penultimate episode of the first season of our podcast (https://open.spotify.com/show/3CZoqL2Yv3HnEx2T3drLLU), and the musical Waitress was brought up and discussed a bit.
-
Science is my pie.
-
Curiosity is my sweet tooth.
-
Knowledge is my candy.
-
I mean, Shakespeare wrote a lot of great stuff, but he didn’t manage those lines like BK did.

Hadn’t listened to Lay Lady Lay in many years. What a fun album Nashville Skyline is.
-
Page Niner!
-
Mere minutes till the birthday of the man who brought us “I Want to Eat Your Face.”
Exciting!
-
5 minutes until we celebrate the founder of the feast!
-
Well, the website clock is faster by a couple minutes.
-
In HHW Time, the Birthday of the one and only BK has begun!
-
George is here.
-
Here is George.
-
I've seen him.
-
I'm almost there.
-
But not quite.
-
Bring out the trombones, baby.
-
Blow 'em loud and strong.
-
Only trombones will do.
-
What?
-
I thought I heard somebody say something.
-
Apparently not.
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.
-
I’m celebrating by listening to Guy Haines’ duet with Jessica Rush, “I’m Past My Prime.”
-
I wrote them.
-
Love Jessica Rush and that track.
-
She did one of our online Kritzerland shows.
-
BK only now arriving at his prime. Happy Birthday to you!
-
Does Rodzinski know about all of our pandemic online Kritzerland shows that taught everyone how to do them without technical issues.
-
I am now older.
-
I don't feel older.
-
George has already disappeared.
-
Tim Moore’s Second Avenue. What an inspired choice.
-
Bill Evans is playing away. Magical.
-
I missed so much Kritzerland fun!
