Well, you've read the notes, the notes were like sands through an hourglass, and now it is time for you to post until the days of my life cows come home.

Good morning, friends.

Good morning, all!

I forgot to set the alarm last night, so when I woke this morning it was an hour later than I would have preferred, 7:07. Well, I'm up.
-
I'm working on the A&T book, but I must get some actual housework accomplished this morning.
-
In the mid-1970s, I had a warehouse-store job about 10 minutes drive from my parents' house, so I drove home every day for lunch. Depending on whether my lunch hour was noon or 1:00, I would watch All My Children, Ryan's Hope or One Life To Live with my mother. The greatest episode of One Life to Live was the day that Judith Light, playing Karen Wolek, broke down in court revealing her past as a prostitute and her participation in a driving accident that killed her best friend's child.
Then I would go back to work and tell the girls in the office what happened that day.
-
Good morning.
-
I wish I had time to make lasts night dinner again for breakfast
-
It was this
-
It’s toasted brioche, spread with guacamole, roasted cherry tomatoes and gently steamed eggs with Penzeys Sunny Paris and a sprinkle of smoked paprika

I also hope that the cast members of 70, Girls, 70 didn't spread more COVID at the closing performance party.

I had to forgo sleeping with my CPAP last night, as the doctor was concerned it might dry out the wound in my mouth too much.

Love that photo of the cat in the Nativity.

I have only just gotten up, sorry to say. It is 9:37 a.m., EST, and the sun is shining beautifully, the sky is blue and cloudless, and I have no appointments, no workers coming, no obligations whatsoever for the remainder of the week.
i do need to schedule a haircut, and I will make an appointment for either tomorrow or Friday.

TOD:
I was never big on soaps in their golden heydays. My paternal grandmother would visit us for at least 6 weeks every year, and when she was with us the TV was hers for "The Secret Storm". Lord have mercy, those opening waves crashed mightily and loudly every weekday afternoon.
I paid no attention to the story. It wasn't "Sea Hunt", after all, which was my favorite afternoon show at that time.
I will admit to having seen the very first episodes of "All My Childre" back in the late 1960s. I was home from college, working a night shift somewhere, and when I was out of bed and the TV was turned on, there the show was all fresh and new. It had a couple of youngsters on it who went by the professional names of Karen Gorney and Richard Hatch. Theirs was a young love that adults attempted to dissuade for some reason or other.
My viewership of that show lasted only as long as my night shift job lasted.
-
TOD Redux: I can also report that when I was an instructor of journalism at the Defense Information School, located at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, in the late 70s-early 80s, the big daytime story was that of Luke and Laura on "General Hospital".
Not that any of us got to watch the show, but the school also taught broadcasting and we had TVs in all the classrooms, so some folks occasionally caught an episode if they weren't teaching and then shared the doings with the rest of us.
When the wedding -- as in "THE WEDDING" -- took place, anyone not teaching a class was watching as it happened.

Once in high school, I was home sick with the flu. So Mom went out to deliver the afternoon newspapers for me. I watched Search for Tomorrow for Mom because big doings were happening. Eunice, Morgan Fairchild’s mother, died on that episode. So I left her a note saying “Eunice died.”
I then went off to sleep. My dad came home from work, saw the note and blew a gasket. He thought the note was about his cousin Eunice and that his side of the family was being disrespected because there were no further details.
He was not appeased when he did learn the truth. In fact, it made him angrier. He never laughed at that story. But we did.
-
Miracle vibes for BK.

Lottery vibes for anyone buying tickets.

Soap operas: I remember enjoying "Dark Shadows" ...
-
but can't imagine how I'd have watched it when it was first on while I was in school, so it might be from the movies and the books at first

DR George I recall a problem a number of years back where many of us had to reset the clock here. I don't remember how we did it.
-
My post shows 9:27 while my actual time is 9:23.
-
A couple of weeks before we were married I left my job. That first month of June in 1969, before finding a new job, I watched a soap opera for awhile. I was bored out of my mind and stopped. About a year later a friend, along with her friend, crashed with us for awhile. The friend watched the same soap and I was shocked that very little in the story had changed from the month when I watched it.
-
It's after noon, and I'm still in breakfast mode.
-
It is 36 degrees outside, and it is warm inside, so....
-
Late July, early August of '84 I suffered a bad sprain in my ankle. Fortunately it was summer and I didn't have to get the boys off to school. Since the stairs were difficult I spent much of the morning on my bed. Santa Barbara had just begun and I watched it. I liked Laine Davies.
-
By the time school began again I was over the soap and back to my usual routine of morning walks. Bryan always thought I liked watching soaps because of my being trapped in bed and bored ;D
-
It is 36 degrees outside, and it is warm inside, so....
It is 45 degrees here. Too cold in my opinion for the shorts I am wearing. I wish I liked wearing long pants to the gym.

I do believe it's been a long time since I appreciated a sunny and dry commute as much as I did this morning.

vixmom, that looks wonderful. You said the eggs were steamed. Do you do that by putting a lid over the frying pan, or some other way entirely?
-
DR George I recall a problem a number of years back where many of us had to reset the clock here. I don't remember how we did it.
I think each person can change the zero that's in the Time Offset option under MODIFY PROFILE > Look and Layout, but that's probably mostly to update for Daylight Saving Time. I wouldn't know how to figure what to put there to adjust for four minutes. :-\

SOAPS
Only one for me, to the best of my recall, and this is ancient: Young Dr. Malone, on weekday afternoons in the 1960-1961 time frame. It had been my mom's show for a long time, and I guess it was on when I got home from school, or it was summer vacation, but for some reason I watched an episode or two with her and got hooked. That probably didn't last much beyond a year or so because I was out of 6th grade then, we were moving to a different house, and I was on to junior high school and new activities. But I remember it rather fondly.
Years later in the mid-1970s, my mom and dad went out to L.A. to visit me. She was so enamored of General Hospital then, that she wrote to the studio in advance of that trip, and the three of us went over to the ABC studios in Hollywood and were treated to quite a long visit with the cast and crew, including watching an episode being taped, sitting next to the director in the control room. It was one of their favorite trip memories.
-
vixmom, that looks wonderful. You said the eggs were steamed. Do you do that by putting a lid over the frying pan, or some other way entirely?
That's exactly the way.
I use a good heavy nonstick pan, melt the tiniest amount of butter and drop the eggs in the melted butter and immediately cover with a glass cover ( so I can see what's going on in that there pan).
As soon as the white is cooked over the yolks (but the yolk is still runny) I slide them out onto the prepared toast.
It took.a looooooong time to learn to time as it out right so the toast was still warm, but prepared the moment the eggs are perfect.
-
I remember watching Dark Shadows after school (4 pm!) .
As I recall all the girls in my class agreed David Selby was dreamy.
-
I remember watching a soap with my Mom sometimes , I think it was As the World Turns.
I recall being very taken with a then young Stanley Kamel
-
Ah it was Days of Our Lives , during my high school years.
-
Yes DR FREDDIE as DR VIXMOM points out - Dark Shadows was on at the END of the daytime schedule.
I remember it at 3:30 p.m.
I also remember reading that the cast never really got the opportunity to watch themselves - because the Dark Shadows time frame to use the ABC Tape Bank was from 3:15 p.m. to 4 p.m. each day.
So unless they happened to have a day off, they couldn't watch the show.
-
I had a couple of Daily schedules for the show [EBAY was so much fun].....they would come in at 10 a.m. and do a run thru of the show and camera blocking, lunch, makeup & hair and Costumes, and then tape the show.
And then at 4:30 p.m. there would be a reading for the show for the next day with maybe a bit of blocking.
-
And ABC built them their own studio at 433 West 54th St. It was scheduled for demolition - but not sure if that happened.
The Wendy Williams show was taped there when it was happening.

Walk taken, two businesses done, meal eaten.

I think 70% of the cast now has Covid. Doug doesn't, I don't think I do but I wouldn't know for sure because a) I have no tests here, and b) I wouldn't even know how they work. My symptoms are allergy symptoms. Doesn't even feel like a cold, frankly. I have never lost my sense of taste or smell or anything like that. The good news is, everyone who has tested positive (if one even believes that stuff) has either very mild symptoms or zero symptoms. I'm not seeing anyone until Sunday, which is seven days after everyone tested positive.

I never did, but I didn't get Covid until after I had been vaccinated.
-

It was the thing, and it still happens. It does not always happen and you can't go by that alone.

I ordered the tests.
Good. I'm not sure you will have them in time to test before your party.

BK’s son-in-law looks not unlike Vincent Price in that photo.
-
I had older siblings off at school and spent many a day of early childhood watching soaps with mom. Young & the Restless when Hasselhoff was in there…
Then we went full ABC: Ryan’s Hope, All My Children, One Life to Live, General Hospital. That ABC lineup was dynamite into the ‘80s. Later, Loving replaced Ryan’s Hope.
After school in high school I got hooked on Guiding Light and Santa Barbara.
-
So I def put in my time on soaps. Judith Light was indeed brilliant on One Life… and the actor who played her foil, Marco Dane, also great. Unfortunately killed himself in real life. Lane Davies was also great. Some people really excelled in that world of acting. Some got stuck in it. Some moved on to greatness.

Last night we went to dinner at a local pub, our first time eating there, with two other couples.
After dinner we moved to the back room to attend an even/town hall meeting with our local congresswoman.
This is the woman who barely beat the nazi running against her in the last election. Once again he is running against her. It is scary.

Yes, a very interesting development. So many unprecedented legal issues. Lots of work for the attorneys. And lots of sitting on the edge of our seats for many of us.

I have no news.

Trying to catch up.

Colorado’s Supreme Court has ruled that Trump is not allowed to be on their primary Presidential ballot because he participated in an insurrection. This is based on The 14th Amendment:
Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection and Other Rights
Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
-
However, Trump will take the case to SCOTUS, so the Supreme Court will decide.
-
The only soap opera that I ever watched was Santa Barbara.
I found it delightfully quirky and witty.
-
And I must confess to having had a mad crush on Lane Davies.
-
His passion is actually Shakespeare.
I was fortunate to see him as Hamlet and as Macbeth in Los Angeles. He was fantastic.
-
He’s still performing Shakespeare. Here’s a review from this summer in Thousand Oaks.
“Lane Davies is Lear. As he gives in to his frailties we see the strength leaving him, the bones becoming brittle and his mind diminishes. It’s a wonderfully wrought performance. Proud and pompous at first, then confused and heartbroken. As he tries to reason his way through his daughters’ betrayal, resisting at first the obvious rebukes, he must face it all in the end. The final insult breaks him, body and spirit and he wanders sadly, bewildered by his rapid fall…it’s both terrifying and wonderful to watch and Lane Davies gives a spectacular performance as this sad and bedraggled king.”
-
Sending good health and holiday cheer vibes to all!

Reading different parts of Hitchcock/Truffaut. In the last chapter, Truffaut writes that Hitchcock dropped the Bernard Hermann score for Torn Curtain because the studios wanted it discarded. “We must bear in mind here that in 1966, in Hollywood and elsewhere, it was the practice of the film industry to favor scores that would sell as popular records—the kind of film music that could be danced to in discotheques. In this sort of game, Hermann, a disciple of Wagner and Stravinsky, was bound to be a loser.”
-
Great to see you, Iris.
-
Downhill was early Hitchcock. Interesting but a bit of a bore.
-
Now listening to Hitchcock and Peter Bogdanovich talk about the early pictures.
-
Let’s move on …

Thanks, DR Jane. I slept pretty well, yes.
-
Watching the last season of The Crown. Harrowing. All the stuff leading up to the tunnel in Paris.
-
We just recently finished watching the entire series of Dark Shadows. It was a COVID project. Parts of it were entertaining. Some of the story lines were pretty bleak.
-
I would like to see Alfred Hitchcock Presents. I will have to investigate if it is streaming anywhere.
-
Losing sense of smell and taste was THE thing - why does everyone forget that?
I lost my sense of taste and smell for more than 18 months, but I never tested positive for COVID. I had polyps, though.
-
That's awful, DR Ron Pulliam.
-
Ah... Alfred Hitchcock Presents, all 7 seasons, is streaming on Peacock.
-

It took.a looooooong time to learn to time as it out right so the toast was still warm, but prepared the moment the eggs are perfect.
This is the method I learned about watching America's Test Kitchen (or was it Christopher Kimball's Milk Street?). At any rate, it's all about putting the glass lid over the eggs and waiting until you get that fine white layer over the yolks, and then they are done. Never overcook eggs!!
-
Also, Maestro becomes available to stream on Netflix at midnight.
-
That's awful, DR Ron Pulliam.
I can smell and taste now, however.
-
I will not be up at that hour, alas.
-
Not like this guy.
-
It is very cold here tonight. It's 28 degrees right now, but it may get down to 20. A hard freeze, for sure.
-
And now, before singdaw says it first, I shall bid everyone a very good night!!!
-
This is hanging outside a house in my neighborhood. I'd estimate it to be about 20 feet tall.

Good night, DR Ron Pulliam.

Before I truly go, I found this list of symptoms of the new COVID JN.1 variant which is rampaging across the U.S.

Cough
Fatigue
Headache
Muscle aches
Fever or chills
Loss of sense of taste or smell

Let's see - of this list I can say a bit of congestion but that absolutely could be allergies. Runny nose - nothing terrible and also could be allergies. Cough. Absolutely, going on for nine days now.
Fatigue. Maybe a bit.
Headache - not really.
Muscle aches - yes, just a bit as of today.
Don't feel like I have fever or chills.
-
I want to watch Maestro. And yet.

Before I truly go, I found this list of symptoms of the new COVID JN.1 variant which is rampaging across the U.S.
The symptoms of JN.1 appear to be similar to those caused by other strains, which include:
Sore throat
Congestion
Runny nose
Cough
Fatigue
Headache
Muscle aches
Fever or chills
Loss of sense of taste or smell
I have most of that list, except cough and fever or chills. But I tested negative yesterday. I think it’s cedar pollen coming in.

Started reading a medieval novel called The Book of the City of Ladies. Divine representations of Justice, Reason and Rectitude tell the author, Christine de Pizan, to build a city for women and to build up the image of women in society.
It’s from the 14th century and the premise is fascinating. The writing is a little stiff, sort of like Pilgrim’s Progress. I can only take it in small doses.

Colorado is keeping Trump from appearing on the ballot. Yay!
HALLE-FREAKIN'-LOOYA!!
-
Sadly, it's not a completely done deal. I found this article (just one of many):
Colorado Supreme Court kicks Trump off the state's 2024 primary ballot for violating the U.S. Constitution (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/colorado-supreme-court-kicks-trump-off-the-state-s-2024-ballot-for-violating-the-u-s-constitution/ar-AA1lL4XU?OCID=ansmsnnews11)

His passion is actually Shakespeare.
I was fortunate to see him as Hamlet and as Macbeth in Los Angeles. He was fantastic.
That's really cool, Iris!

Sending good health and holiday cheer vibes to all!
❤️
And to you, too!!

That's awful, DR Ron Pulliam.
I can smell and taste now, however.
Whew!

This is hanging outside a house in my neighborhood. I'd estimate it to be about 20 feet tall.

Wow! Very nice!
-
Good night, all.
-
I, too, have been a little under the weather of late. I think I got something from the kids or their classmates. A bit of chest congestion that is the worst overnight. But by day, not too bad.
Anyway, health vibes to all in need.

I wonder if by tomorrow morning DR vixbux will be a PowerBall millionairess.
I doubt it. I didn’t buy a ticket

I had Covid but didn’t lose my senses of smell or taste
-
But I was achy and completely fatigued
-
The Neil Gaiman reading was wonderful
-
Before he came out a woman came out who explaine$ that Charles Dickens had done readings of A Christmas Carol in the US and England,
-
I did lose my sense of artistic taste when I had Covid.
-
Rather than reading the published he write a version more suited for a stage reading, removing some descriptions etc.
The script Dickens used is in the possession of the New York library, and it was that script that Neil Gaiman used
-
Today was also exactly 180 years from the date of original publication

I also found his telling very moving. The audience was definitely invested.
This is @ story most of us know inside and out , there are no surprises
-
But the audience was laughing at the jokes , and you coukd have heard a pin drop except for some sniffles when Tiny Tim died.
I admit I teared up.
-
And the entire tire audience burst into applause and cheers at the line. “ who did NOT die”
-
I am so glad I went
-
I also bought this poster
-
Anyway it’s very late
-
Or very early
-
But either way it’s page 8 and I’m going to bed
-
Goodnight

I also bought this poster
