Well, you've read the notes, the notes were proofed (not really) and positive (really), and now it is time for you to post until the proofing cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: COMMODIOUS!
-
Notes proofed. Positived.
-
Here is the link featuring that comment, BK.

~~~Vibes for Several Modern Major Miracles for BK!!~~~
-
Good morning, friends.
-
~~~CONTINUED MULTIPLE MODERN MAJOR MIRACLE VIBES~~~ for the likes of BK!!!!!!
-
Glad you got where you were going, DR vixmom. Enjoy your visit!
-
Odd dreams again. But not unpleasant ones.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Odd dreams of being involved in the immigration crisis, which was somehow combined with Viennese waltz and a wheel of fortune type lottery.
-
Up early to play bells this morning. But I really don’t feel like moving yet.
-
Thanks, Iris, for the link to Mattress. The only version I think I have is the one with Tracey Ullmann and Carol.
-
:)
-
.
-
Data Privacy says that you don't know how many blueberry pancakes I actually ate.
-
Who decides these things?
-
DR John G., may you play your bells with aplomb.
-
This aplomb is too ripe.
-
From the Italian version of The Fantasticks.

Good morning and Happy Sunday! The latest Broadway Radio Show is up on the site. It's another At This Theatre as we look at the history of musicals that have played at Broadway's Ethel Barrymore Theatre. From Gay Divorce to Harmony....lots of wonderful performers and terrific show tunes!

Good morning, all!
-
I slept poory before I was awakened just after midnight with an arriving health situation that could have been a real crisis if I moved just a tad slower. Luckily, I made it to the bathroom and a complete disaster was averted. I did not sleep well the remainder of the night. I think I may spend the day napping.
-
This morning I'm listening to the music of Herbert Howells, a British composer I have never heard before. I am listening to his Hymnus Paradisi, composed between 1936-37 after his son died from polio at age nine. He kept the score private for years until Ralph Vaughan Williams persuaded him to release it. It was premiered in 1950 at the Three Choirs Festival and published a year later. It's quite beautiful.

Nice music DR ELMORE.
-
Glad to hear that DR VIXOM & Co are enjoying Flow-rida.
-
More Modern Major Miracle vibes for MR BK.....and proofing vibes as well.
-
DR RODZINSKI mentioned A Touch Of Class last night.
That movie has one of the funniest scenes I have ever watched. Glenda Jackson & George Segal are having an affair. They go to a lot of trouble to get to a small Greek island. The only car left at the rental place can only go into second gear.
The first night there they have a terrible argument - George thinks Glenda has said something bad about his mother. They get up and start packing. She tells him to call the airport and reserve two tickets.....he tells her no one ever flies off the island and he won't call even though she keeps insisting.
They drive in second gear to the airport and when they get there - the flight is sold out. It seems that a group of nuns had decided unexpectedly to go to the mainland.
Glenda looks at him and says as only she could: "Press THAT in your book of memories!"

Is this page 2?

Great to hear the vixfamily is having a good time!

George - That video from last night's posts about the soup and the chili dog was lots of fun!
-
John G - fun reading about the Footloose line dance!
-
Good morning

Slow start into the day

Good morning, all.

Having a nice slow Sunday morning here.
-
Woops. It's not morning now!
-
The Hymnus Paradisi is beautiful, DR elmore3003. Howells's Requiem is an a cappella work that shares some of the same music.
-
DR Singdaw have you tried making distilled water?
"Turn on your stove's burner to medium heat and let the water boil. Then place the lid upside-down over the pot and fill the top with ice. This will create condensation as the steam from the boiling water hits the ice-cold lid. The condensation will begin to drip into the bowl, leaving you with distilled water."

From DR Rodzinski:
Found this comment on a YouTube “Spaceship” VHS trailer clip:
My Pawpaw bought this for me as a gift from Smith's Country Store in the mid 90s. He knew I was a big sci-fi nerd (still am) and he thought it was a serious sci-fi movie. The VHS tape was titled "Spaceship" and had a model kit spaceship on the cover. The first weekend I had with him I watched it thinking it was a serious movie. I then discover it was a comedy but still liked it.
Nowadays whenever I think of this movie, I remember my Pawpaw. May he rest in peace.
Awww, that is very moving.

Watching Purdue vs. Rutgers.....and then the men's final skate is on NBC at 3 p.m.
-
Page two???
-
I'm up, I'm up - almost seven hours of sleep.
-
Love Herbert Howells, his choral and his orchestral music. We issued a disc on Bay Cities of Hymnus Paradisi coupled with Bernstein's Chichester Psalms. I'll have to listen to it, haven't heard in in over thirty years.

I'd be quite curious about that!
-
Exhausted from an intense dance lesson.
-
Up from a nap.
-
Where is everyone today?
-
Not here. Not posting.
-
Need to get ready for another class.
-
It’s taking up my whole day.
-
But first …
-
Let’s move on.
-
Three!
-
Where is everyone today?
I have been browsing the internet trying to find the perfect fox charm for Freyja. A friend who makes jewlery is making a a necklace for her birthday. We finally decided on the charm. Now we are choosing the beads.
-
The charm was a challenge. The charms I liked were really too large and too expensive for a four year old ;D
-
DR JOHN G is getting Footloose.
-
There was a particularly egregious larceny at the Men's Free Skate.....but there you are.
-
Sunday evening greetings!
Where is everyone today?
I’ve been taking bubble wrap off all of our framed artwork. Started setting some items around the house on the floor below where we might like to have them hung.

Place them around before hanging them is a good beginning. I also like to do it that way.

I’ve also unpacked a couple more boxes. One of my book club friends is waiting for the right house to open up here and I’ve offered her our boxes and bubble wrap. I want to have as much ready for her as possible.
-
It is nice to be able to pass along boxes. We were able to do that here as one of the neighbors was beginning to pack to move.

Wow, that's such a nice thing to do!

Siri has been telling us the temperature is about 10 degrees warmer than it really is.
-
Now that evening is here she is doing a little better, only stating is is 5 degrees warmer ;D
-
There was a particularly egregious larceny at the Men's Free Skate.....but there you are.
Care to elaborate, DR JRand?
-
Thanks for that information, DR Jane. Very interesting.
-
I haven't even watched the men's short program yet!
-
Thanks for that information, DR Jane. Very interesting.
You are welcome.
-
'night
-
Had a ninety-minute nap and now back to proofing.
-
DR singdaw if you tune into the Sunday Long Program on NBC, they show you most of the short programs during the first hour.
-
DR JANE I am glad you found the charm you wanted.
-
DR GINNY I will only say - and with all respect to our late friend DR TCB - that Jason Brown should NEVER be allowed on the podium in any SERIOUS skating competition.
In fact he should not even be on the ice taking up precious time from others more talented than he ever was or will be.
-
And there you are. It's a disgrace.
-
Thanks for the pro tip, DR Jrand73.
-
And THAT'S what comes from men and women dancing.
-
[a Fiddler reference]
-
Tomorrow is another work week.
-
Only seven or so more years of those before I can retire.
-
I am caught up on posts.
-
I am caught up on emails.
-
I am caught up on the dirty dishes.
-
And I watched Barbie this evening, so I am caught up on that as well.
-
But I haven't done my taxes yet.
-
Or balanced my checkbook.
-
Or read the newspaper.
-
Or made my distilled water.
-
Or alphabetized my spice rack.
-
Or baked a pie.
-
So still things to do.
-
PAGE FIVE
-
But those things will wait for another day.
-
Good night, friends.
-
Thanks, DR JRand.
-
Starting a French film from France called The Suitor. It’s from Pierre Etaix and is very much in the Tati and silent movie mold. Very droll.
-
Dancing tonight was long but mostly fun.
-
Or alphabetized my spice rack.
Does one alphabetize a spice rack?
-
I alphabetize all of my racks, but not the spices on them.
-
The Suitor was a delight. Apparently Etaix was a friend of Jerry Lewis. It’s obvious. But Etaix is funnier. Sweeter.
-
I am listening to Natalie Haynes’s new book, Divine Might: Goddesses in Greek Myth, her latest effort to be the new Edith Hamilton. In her section on the cruel Artemis, she gets into how the goddess loved human sacrifices in her honor, including Iphegenia. Mention of that name always makes me think of the Comden and Green’s joke about the sequel to No, No, Nanette and Tes, Yes, Yvette: If, If, Iphegenia.
-
Good night, all.
-
Just watched the last 20 min of Diary of a Mad Housewife on YouTube.
-
The Perrys, always interesting.
-
;)

Where is everyone today?
Was out and about. ::)
-
Then fell asleep after I got home.
-
I’ve also unpacked a couple more boxes. One of my book club friends is waiting for the right house to open up here and I’ve offered her our boxes and bubble wrap. I want to have as much ready for her as possible.
Good luck to your friemd!

9. Legally Blonde: The Musical (Heather Hach, Laurence O’Keefe, and Nell Benjamin)
I really like this show.
-
And the #1 top musical done in high schools ...
1. The Addams Family (Andrew Lippa, Marshall Brickman, and Rick Elice)
Really?
-
:o
-
Siri has been telling us the temperature is about 10 degrees warmer than it really is.
Maybe Siri's correct...but she's reporting for an alternate universe!
-
I have been dragging all day today.
-
I didn't get enough sleep at all last night (actually, this morning).
-
But where is anyone else??
-
:o
-
Today, I went to my mom's for our family dinner and game playing.
-
My mom made her "enchiladas."
-
I use quotes because, even as good as they are, they're just frozen burritos covered in enchilada sauce and cheese, then baked.
-
Simple but quite delish.
-
And finally...
-
PAGE SIX DANCE!!
-
::)
-
After dinner, we didn't play the usual Phase 10 card game.
-
I think my niece said that she wasn't in the mood for that.
-
So instead, we played two games of Aggravation.
-
I won the first game! :D
-
And then someone else won the second...I forget who.
-
Page six???
-
Barely?
-
Not even page seven???
-
Which I do not care for.
-
Not a wonderful way to end January, let me just say THAT.
-
Not even halfway on page six.
-
Where's George?
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.
-
I wrote them.
-
And I'm here to tell the tale.
-
Unfortunately, no one is here to HEAR the tale.
-
The tale is going unheard.
-
My word.
-
Absurd.
-
I don't know.
-
It's just ridic.
-
Ridic, do you hear me?
-
Is George stuffing his face with free tacos?
-
Is that what's going on here?
-
I had tacos earlier, but they were not free.
-
Well, guess I'll change the topic and be done with it.
-
Well, we got to page seven.
-
Which I do not care for.
