Well, you've read the notes, the notes were the last of August, and now it is time for you to post until the last of August cows come home.

And the word of the day is: BOLD!

Topic of the Day: nothing healthy. ::)
Probably burgers-of-the-ham that have no ham. ;D

Notes divined. Slaked.

Movie described in notes sounded bad.

I really haven’t the stomach for that sort of horror anymore.

One thing i discovered in Japan is I don’t have the stomach for going up on tall observatories and such either. We went up to Shibuya Sky. Great view of Tokyo, but I was getting waves of vertigo. Had to just sit down while the fam looked out the glass.
And the vertigo lasted another couple days afterwards. No more towers for me.

Good morning, all!

I slept rather well. I may have been restless since annabelle abandonmed her princess pillow to sleep at the foot of the bed.

I cannot stand heights. I get vertigo looking at photos taken from the observation decks on both the Empire State Building and the World Trade Center, which always gave me a bad vibe. I'm not clairvoyant, but I never liked being at the World Trade Center. It brought up fears of subway disasters and burials, and I always felt uneasy there. In 1983-84, I worked for about a year at Classic Books on Sixth Avenue and 50th(?) Street. At one point the management sent me down to their World Trade Center store for a week. I couldn't wait to get back uptown. One of my best friends from Middletown worked in the building that collapsed after the Trade Center fell. For years, he would suggest I come down for lunch, and I always turned him down out of God knows what anxiety about the area.

DR George, I would love a PDF of thje score for The Spitfire grill!
-
I finished "Some People" last night. Next up, whenever I get it from Joshie, is "Small World."
-
DR John G, I'm looking forward to more stories. I loved the tale of your mother's cookie recipe.
-
Last night, I was cruising Amazon Prime for a movie and ended up watching Ang Lee's glorious Sense and Sensibility, which I hadn't seen in maybe ten years. I think it may be my all-time favorite Jane Austen adaptation. I had forgotten how wonderful the cast is, from Imelda Staunton's silly Charlotte Palmer - I'm not always crazy about her as an actress - and her loathing husband played by Hugh Laurie to Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant. Elizabeth Spriggs, a character actress I love is marvelous as Mrs Jennings, and Alan Rickman's Colonel Brandon breaks my heart.
-
I do love that version as well, Elmore. I may have to rewatch my dvd
-
Thinking of our John today. Sending hugs and prayers. May the day be filled with sweet reminiscences and no flaring tempers.

Guess I’ll wordle

Good morning, all.

I slept until almost 8:00am this morning, which is practically unheard of.
-
And no sore throat yet. Fingers crossed.
-
Still, it will be a quiet holiday weekend.

I, too, loved the story from DR John G. about his mother's cookie recipe.
-
After I read his mother's obituary, I went on a sleuth through the Internet to see if I could find a used copy of his mother's cookbook.
-
I was unsuccessful.

Re Spitfire materials: I have the PDF piano-conductor score the MD sent me, but, inexplicably, it's a whopping 242 MB in size. I know this because I was going to see if DR Elmore needed a copy, and I couldn't believe it when I saw that. And it's not even a good looking copy.
I then tried compressing it, using Adobe's free website feature for that (I was amazed to see them offering any such thing for free), and it only came down a small bit.
When I scan these things myself, they can get up to maybe 60-80 MB, which at least doesn't break the bank or the PDF apps, but they're also beautiful clean copies. Because I am an arteest.
DR George: May I please have my hand out, as well, for whatever score you have? Check the file size! :) I assumed my MD had made the scan, but maybe this, too, was one that fell off the back of a truck. I'll see what's what at the rehearsals.

So you've heard this, too? Maybe there's something to this rumor after all.

British choreographer John Cranko was killed in a plane crash in 1973, as I recall. He had choreographed for the Royal Ballet (the Gilbert & Sullivan Pineapple Poll and Britten's The Prince of the Pagodas among others), the West End revue Cranks, and at the time of his death he was director of the Stuttgart Ballet. In summer 1973, I worked box office for the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, and my two favorite ballet stars that summer were Richard Cragun and his then girlfriend Marcia Haydee, Cranko's two stars of the Stuttgart Ballet.
I found on YouTube recently, a German telecast of the original Stutgart production of Cranko's wonderfully comic ballet The Taming of the Whrew, starring Cragun and Haydee. I had seen around 1986 a production of the ballet by the Joffrey Ballet company and fallen in love with it. I think you might enjoy seeing Cranko's comedy with his original leads.

From DR John:
A few tempers flared up today. Thankfully mine were under control.
Oh no! I'm glad you kept your temper under control.

John, that was thoughtful of the woman from Meals on Wheels that baked the sweet surprise.

This just scares me. I have told the story of searching for the missing cat and finding him inside the refrigerator. He happily jumped out when I opened the door.
-
DR John I hope your day went as well as possible. Sending more hugs.
-
I can't look down from heights either.

DR JANE I think I have told this story on HHW before. My cousin and her husband and daughter went away for a weekend.....
When they got back, she couldn't find their cat. She finally asked her four year old daughter who said she was afraid the cat would run away, so she put him in the record player....
My cousin went to the record player and listened a moment, then raised the lid.....the cat yowled, jumped up, bounced off the four walls of the living room and ran out the front door never to be seen again.

Pizza tartar? Supposedly there's an area in Ohio where they put on the toppings after cooking.

That was almost funny until the cat truly ran away.
-
I know.
-
DR ELMORE that's so good.....of course now the Dump campaign is claiming it was an official EVENT and criticizing Biden for staying away.....
-
I know.
And my cat was only inside there for a couple of minutes as I was always obsessed with doing a cat count.
-
It is quiet here.

Indeed it is DR JANE>

As BK might say, what is it, a holiday weekend or something?

Stopped at the mail place but no second envelope, however another unexpected envelope, so that had something very nice in it. Hopefully, the second important envelope will now be here on Tuesday, two days after it's supposed to be here.

Saw the play. A bit dreary and slow for my taste and about fourteen people to see it, all of whom were either friends or family, so crying and cheering. I always say to people, put it in front of strangers then you'll know what you really have.

I want a sandwich of some sort but I don't know which sort it should be. Some sort, but what sort.

A sort of a sort.

One sort or another.

Not too small.

Why are we on page four, for heaven's sake?

Oh, I picked up some cherry chip ice cream from Rite Aid. That's for later.

Later is the best time for a treat.

Decided on a beef taco and two taquitos - they just added Ernie's Taco House, a Valley staple for fifty years or more. I haven't been there in twenty to thirty years, but it's a jernt people like and they have a 20% off thing so we shall see shortly.

Will catch up later.

Good night, John G. Hoping you're doing OK.

I rather enjoyed Ernie's Taco House's taco and taquitos and they traveled very well.

Page five?

In what universe?

Guess I'll try to watch a motion picture. I'd like to see the new M. Night Shyamientinetnal movie but not for 19.95. I like the ones that cost 4.99.

No posts in three HOURS???
-
What in tarnation is going ON here?
-
Of course, George and his jam won't be here until the last possible second.
-
I mean, page FIVE?
-
Really?
-
That is dire, sire.
-
Page six???
-
I myself am only twenty posts away from a nice new plateau.
-
Even THAT won't get us to page seven.
-
Which I do not care for.
-
Will George be here to capture this new plateau?
-
Who can know?
-
Certainly not I.
-
Well, what can one do, but it seems we should welcome in a new month with more than six pages.
-
It really does.

I'm sipping a Diet Coke.

I wonder if AI has gotten to a point that it might hack random sites on its own just because.

PAGE SEVEN, FINALLY!!
-
Who knows? He's restoring the site from a backup. Hopefully the back up was recent, but it should be fine for the home page as long as it was today. Discussion board is fine now.
-
I do not care for page seven but at this point I'm grateful we're here.
-
Scary stuff.
-
I have to stay up until it's fully restored so I can check everything.

In the meantime, here's your (slightly belated) plateau! :D
