Well, you've read the notes, the notes were one of life's great enigmas, and now it is time for you to post until the enigmatic cows come home.

And the word of the day is: INTREPID!

-
Good morning, friends.
-
And others.
-
A propos of nothing, here's Bud Cort with Groucho Marx.
-
Please ignore the bird in the background.
-
.
-
Who decides these things?
-
Fairly decent night of sleep.
-
Although I wouldn't have minded sleeping in longer this morning.
-
But that's the way of things.
-
:)
-
Singdaw, you're getting very close to a lofty new millstone..
-
Or will it be a new lofty millstone?
-
Whatever type of millstone it is, you're very close to it!
-
What is the difference between a millstone and a grindstone?
-
I've never heard of putting your nose to a millstone.
-
These are the things I ponder.
-
Do they ponder in Ponderosa?
-
Or do they pander?
-
Do they pander whilst they ponder?
-
Are there ponds in Ponderosa?
-
OK, now I'm just being silly.
-
Silly is as silly does.
-
Silly sudz.
-
Remember Mr. Bubble?
-
Remember the Alamo?
-
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
-
One more...

Page Two before 7 a.m. Eastern time!
That means it could be a good day.

Vegan camoflauge:
-
Good morning, all!
-
Last night I watched the Indiana University ballet again. After that, I had a shaky night of sleep, although I had Annabelle and Thatch watching over me. Around 1:00 or so, Stella joined us. Unlike Annabelle and Thatch, Stella gets very fussy about needing attention, hugs, and pets. A & T let me sleep. Stella demands attention.
-
My friend is going bald, but he found a really nice hairpiece at a thrift store for just a dollar.
It was a small price toupee...
-
I have to decide, now that the bathroom leak is repaired, if I do the laundry today or tomorrow. Procrastination is my middle name, so . . .
-
I need to pay a few bills today.
-
:)
-
I need work.
-
Good morning, all.
-
We have a gray day with much rain and I believe some lightning in the forecast. Then tomorrow is supposed to be dry and sunny and probably all too warm again, and that's fine because I plan to attend my friends' GREASE tomorrow evening and have my weekend clear.
-
Good morning, all.
-
I’m at work, awaiting the would-be lawyers to show up.
-
I brought my heaviest sweater today.
-
This morn' I have to stop at the bank, return this thick unseemly binder of music, pick up my regular prescription, and put some air in the tires. Once back home, I must pay the ugliest quarterly tax bill in the known universe. The rest of the day should largely be spent on learning to play these songs decently.
-
I brought my heaviest sweater today.
And a scarf, I hope.
-
He ain't heavy; he's my sweater.
-
Armed with a sweater and a swatter.
-
To flick away those pesky would-be lawyers.
-
DR John G., I'm quite sure that this will be one of the exhibits in your course.

We are on the road to page three.
-
That long, long road.
-
The road to Tipperary is long, too.
-
Or so I hear.
-
I've never travelled it, myself.
-
So what do I know.

Someone's getting screwed.

Important envelope vibes for MR BK.
-
Wednesday morning greetings! Another quiet day for me…
-
Important envelope vibes for MR BK.
Ditto!
-
The room is no warmer today. But my heaviest Irish woolen sweater is.
-
Back from the errands, and planning to stay in the rest of the day. It's a hot humid HELL out there.
-
From George:
I made some calls, and got some information and prices, and then our president found a storage unit that was larger than what I was asked to look for, but he felt that the extra space (and higher price) was necessary.
I just love when someone has me putting in the time researching something and then decides it isn't what they want.
-

Good :)
-
Important envelope vibes for MR BK.
DITTO!
-
I sitll have lots to do this morning before we pick Craig up at the airport.
-
More important envelope vibes for BK!

It happens. ::)
-
But it's more important that we get what we really need, so it's not a big deal. :)
-
I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep - almost.
-
Doug will now try to move the Monday after four people to Tuesday after four.
-
We shall see how that goes.
-
Good afternoon!

Wordle: 6/6. Didn't think I was going to get it today.
-
The Fat Orange Slug was just interviewed at the convention of the National Association of Black Journalists. It was truly a lie-filled bilge-fest of the same old shit he brings up at every one of his pathetic rallies. I think this will be a good thing for Kamala.

This article has been around a while (since last fall) but if you haven't seen it before, and know the Jardiance commercial, it's fun.

I don’t really consider it an English word though we have adopted it.

Four!

"Stephen Sondheim Dissects the Jardiance Jingle"
https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/stephen-sondheim-dissects-the-jardiance-jingle
That was fun, except that he sabotage his own premise by "rhyming" rips with scrip.
-
Sondheim would not have approved. ::)
-
This is the suggested lyric:
“The math is simple, I’m no Archimedes
A type A gal with type 2 diabetes
One little pill
Well, that’s my fill
So says the good Dr. Rosen
Each time he rips
An illegible scrip
Of once-daily empagliflozin”
I'd suggest:
Each time he'd rip
An illegible scrip
-
Seemed pretty darned obvious to me.
-
Sad to report but Evie the cat has crossed the rainbow bridge. She was sick for only a couple of days, so that was a blessing.

If this were The Notebook, scrip would be “rhymed” with something like Flipper or shibboleth.

So sorry to hear that. :(

Gratuitous post 100!

Oh, no. :(

Farethewell, Evie.
-
In a few minutes I shall be on my way to another rehearsal.....
-

That's so sad!
-
Off to dance for a while.
-
Rehearsal was fine....Something Rotten was moving its costumes from the Costume Loft/Shop to the dressing rooms.
Chaos ensued.
-
Chaos ensued.
And then, hilarity?
-
So very sorry about DC Evie.

Chaos is my friend. Must be. I seem to court it
-
Back from dancing.
-
I'm tired.
-
I can't wait until Saturday's competition is over.
-
We're all amazed that you can dance through your pain, DR John G.
-
I know we need more posts.
-
But I am just exhausted.
-
A trying day at work, and hours of overtime.
-
We just are not staffed up for the volume we are handling.
-
We just got approved to add 3 more people to our department.
-
But it will be months before they are hired and trained.

-
Good night, friends.
-
We just got approved to add 3 more people to our department.
That's great, Singdaw!
-
But it will be months before they are hired and trained.
Yup...that's the reality of it. :-\
-
Hope it all goes very smoothly, if not quickly!!
-
Well, whaddaya know! Singdaw passed a millstone (which is infinitely preferable to passing a kidney stone ;) ):
-
Congratulations to singdaw on your new millstone!
-
Well, whaddaya know! Singdaw passed a millstone (which is infinitely preferable to passing a kidney stone ;) ):
Isn't "Well, whaddaya know!" a Maltby and Shire Closer Than Ever reference?

Congratulations and understand completely.
-
Congratulations, Singdaw.

I love most of James Ivory's films with Ismail Merchant. There's a documentary about the couple coming out.

-
They lived across the river from me in upstate New York, but they never invited me to dinner.
-
Good night, all.
-
Again with the page five malarkey.
-
I have done nothing today and this evening but deal with the schedule change, which is finally set. In the midst of that, we had another kid drop out of the show, which is so irritating. So, we had to find a replacement - after a few tries, i found someone good. That's two parents who committed to the show, but who then thought it fine to just shine us on.
-
What was this kid’s excuse?
-
Sorry to hear of the loss of your little friend, John G.
-
Speaking of Gs, the other night I briefly saw Matthew G’s name up top. Don’t know if he ever posted.
-
Kids have swim classes in the evening, and it’s taken a lot out of me somehow.
-
Still page five after all these years.
-
No George, of course.
-
He MUST have his damn jam.
-
If he was a door, he could have his jamb.
-
But George has a George jam.
-
He thinks it's cute.
-
He thinks one minute to midnight is the way to go.
-
Well, whaddaya know! Singdaw passed a millstone (which is infinitely preferable to passing a kidney stone ;) ):
Isn't "Well, whaddaya know!" a Maltby and Shire Closer Than Ever reference?
It is!
-
He's probably eating a burrito with lox.
-
He thinks one minute to midnight is the way to go.
Today, it's 19 minutes to midnight!
-
Wow, look who showed up early.
-
That's amazing.
-
That is a much nicer jam or jamb.
-
There’s G!
-
That is sparkling.
-
Like cider.
-
We're cookin' with gas, baby.
-
We are happening.
-
I feel that soon we may be the most popular site on all the Internet.
-
Page six isn't very sporting.

That's terrible! They are not learning (or showing) a good work ethic. :P
-
It really isn't.
-
Perhaps we can do something about it.
-
He MUST have his damn jam.
Don't we all?? :-\
-
Wouldn't that be nice?
-
;)
-
If he was a door, he could have his jamb.
I always forget that door jamb is spelled with a b. ::)
-
I am in need of a haircut, so I'll try and book one tomorrow for sometime next week, I guess.
-
Good thing I didn't try to spell it.
-
I look like a shaggy dog right now.
-
Or a shag carpet.
-
Remember when those were all the rage?
-
He's probably eating a burrito with lox.
Nope...a Big Mac with a diet Coke. :)
-
Wow, look who showed up early.
That's gotta count for something!
-
I remember when I was all the rage.
-
I remember when I had all the rage.
-
There’s G!
Hello, Rod (and BK)!
-
I remember when I wrote rage on a page.
-
This page is causing me rage.
-
Page six isn't very sporting.
There is no shame in Page six...or page seven!
-
Rage is, of course, egar spelled backwards.
-
There is a bit of shame.
-
But look, here's page seven - which I do not care for, shame or not.
-
It's not my favorite.
-
I am in need of a haircut, so I'll try and book one tomorrow for sometime next week, I guess.
I got my haircut back in May...pretty close to a year since my previous haircut. ;)
-
I had the air on way too much today and it has played havoc with my voice.
-
June Havoc.
-
I remember June.
-
A mere two months ago.
-
What else?
-
Did George have his ubiquitous burrito?
-
His Ubiquitous Burrito - that's the title of my next novel.
-
Perhaps I'll tell the tale of The Randy Vicar and the Cheese Enchilada.
-
That one's really spicy.
-
That's a some spicy meatball.
-
His Ubiquitous Burrito - that's the title of my next novel.
I'd read that.
-
I am quite spicy myself.
-
Sugar and spice and everything nice.
-
Where's the paprika when you need it?
-
Where's the dill when you need it?
-
Where's page eight when you need it?
-
We might make it after all.
-
Laverne and Shirley did.
-
When in Rome, do as the Armenians do.
-
When in Armenia, do as the Romans do.
-
Is there Armenia?
-
Are there Romans besides numerals?
-
When in France, wear no pants.
-
There’s Mel, There’s Woody, and There’s June Havoc.
-
Not to be confused with June Haver.
-
June Havoc was a Hovick.
-
But she’s gonna be confused with her anyway.
-
Gypsy Rose Lee was a Louise Hovick.
-
Or Dan Haggerty.
-
I was never a Hovick.
-
But I did cause havoc.
-
Ron Kovic was played by Tom Cruise.
-
We made page eight. I like page eight.
-
Nothing wrong with page eight.
-
Or was Tom Havoc played by Julee Cruise?
-
June Havoc was a Hovick.
And her real full name was Ellen Evangeline Hovick.
-
No wait for eight.
-
We made page eight. I like page eight.
Eight is Great!
-
And what of Lauren Tewes?
-
My middle name is not Evangaline.
-
Gratuitous Post #224!!
-
What OF Lauren Tewes?
-
And Fred Grandy?
-
Eight is Enough featured Grant Goodeve.
-
And what of Lauren Tewes?
I saw an interview with her and she said that the original German pronunciation of her last name is TAH-ves.
-
And Season Hubley?
-
And a good eve to you both!
-
And Jamie Smith Jackson?
-
And Margaret Willock?
-
Eight is Enough featured Grant Goodeve.
He was also on Seattle's Evening Magazine for a few years.
-
Where have all the 70s actresses gone?
-
Sian Barbara Allen.
-
And a good eve to you both!
Are you leaving us, Rod?
-
I interviewed Doc from the Love Boat and he pronounced it “tweeze”
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.
-
I wrote them.
-
And looky here - page nine.
-
Sadly Doc Bricker’s real name eludes me.
-
Isn't that fine?
-
No whine for nine.
-
Nine!!
