Good morning, all!

Things continue badly. I awoke with an infection in my left eye; it hurts and it's draining, and I must try to get an appointment soon with one of my eye personnel in my HMO. This could be crap.
-
On top of that, I have absolutely no money. I need work, a substantial job that will actually put money into my bank account. The Gypsy work is something I'm grateful for, but the work is going much slower than I anticipated the pay isn't great.
-
I'm praying that the cats, althougfh they all need to see a vey, remain healthy as bthey are.
-
Sorry to hear about the eye, brother Elmore. A warm compress may be of aid until you talk to doc.
-
Good morning
-
Vibes if all sorts for Elmore
-

Anybody have a winning lottery ticket ?

Guess I’m not getting my teeth repaired this year.

What will the day bring?

Perhaps split pea soup.

With ham chunks and croutons.

Attended a fascinating session yesterday through work on the modern asylee/refugee experience. Putting a human face on immigration.
-
Yesterday I received a volume of the six novels that Agatha Christie wrote under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott.
Used copies are going for around $300, but I got this one for under $50.
-
This morning at 11, a medical person is coming to draw blood for an intensive procedure to look for serious kidney damage., I have all of these foorms to be completed before ther person arrives. What the fat hell is my MRN? I do hate this part of the procedure.
-
Yikes, vixmom. Can you go on your local Nextdoor or wherever and find someone who can do a concrete job more cheaply? Cost seems insane.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Okay, we need VIBES all around.
Health and wealth vibes for DR Elmore, for starters.
-
Yes, those sidewalk quotes sound insane.
Of course I have no idea what the work entails. But is this a sidewalk on your property, or part of a public area you're responsible for, or what? I'm not familiar with that type of thing.

Bad bout of insomnia during the night. Ugh.

Have you tried the group that used to be called the Actors Fund, Larry? (It's now called the Entertainment Community Fund.)

Super vibes of all kinds for DR ELMORE.

Yikes! Sending vibes to you that this works out OK!
-
DR VIXMOM I am astounded at this turn of events - I have never heard of a homeowner being charged for sidewalk replacement.
Just this summer there was a lot of that going on in my neighborhood.....by the town....of course our taxes went up.

Mentioned yesterday:
Twyla Tharp

Supposedly this medical person will call before showing up, It's 10:57 and he/she is due at 11:00. I just someone is running late.
-
Vibes for Elmore.
-
Well, the jerk technician never called and never showed. I had to reschedule. I cannot get this test completed until next Wednesday, October 3. I am not amused.
-
What the HELL?!
What was their excuse for this no-show? If they even tried to offer one.

I'll get a picture today. It's supposed to rain today, so it won't be bright, but it'll be better than a nighttime picture. ;)

My question for ASK BK DAY:
Is there a movie quote that you have used in daily conversation more than any other quote?
-
I don't think "What is it, fish?" is from a movie. ;)
-
I just went down the stairs in my building to get the mail, and when I opened the door to the stairwell, a huge orange cat darted out into the hall.
-
He's a porker - must weigh 30 pounds!
-
Must belong to someone in the building, but....who? And how did he escape?
-
The office is now closed. No way to get a general message out.
-
I suppose I could put up flyers.
-
A neighbor of mine down the hall has an orange cat, but it turns out the escapee is not hers.
-
However, she agreed to take in the stray overnight, so I'm off the hook.
-
And that little cat tale (tail?) took us to page four.
-
I don't think I've ever encountered a cat so heavy.
-
He ain't heavy... he's my brother!
-
Well, I put up some flyers around the building. We'll see what happens.
-
Well, the jerk technician never called and never showed. I had to reschedule. I cannot get this test completed until next Wednesday, October 3. I am not amused.
You should probably doublecheck the date, Larry. Wednesday is October 2, Thursday is October 3.
-
I wonder whether the interestingly large number of Guests viewing the HHW board relates to people looking for info about BK's upcoming production of DRAT! THE CAT!
-
This is interesting. Tony winner Christopher Ashley will be the new artistic director of the Roundabout Theater!
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/25/theater/roundabout-ashley.html
"Roundabout, With 3 Broadway Theaters, Finds Leader in California
Christopher Ashley, the artistic director of La Jolla Playhouse and a Tony winner for “Come From Away,” will run the large New York nonprofit."
-
From that New York Times article:
"The transition will be gradual: Ashley plans to remain artistic director of La Jolla until Jan. 1, 2026, and to start full-time at Roundabout on July 1, 2026. Scott Ellis, who is Roundabout’s interim artistic director, will continue in that role until Ashley’s arrival and the two will collaborate during the 2026-27 season."

How appropriate that my cat story should occur on the day that the topic is "The Cat is Out of the Bag"! :)

Yeah, that's really something, isn't it?

In fact, I could have stood in the hallway or the stairwell and shouted, "Drat! The Cat!"

-
Good night, friends.
-
And others.
-
Well, at least they can't say we didn't get to page 5!
-
I'm up, I'm up - and I did it again - thought I'd posted first thing but hadn't.
-
This must stop.
-
This is what happens with ABS (Active Brain Syndrome) coupled with endless texts, e-mails, and needing to get to the framers. I got eight hours of sleep, was up at ten-thirty, out the door by ten-fifty, picked up my newly plexiglassed item, went to Gelson's and got a little mac-and-cheese and a Caesar salad with chicken, came home, ate both, then went right to the piano.
-
I'm still struggling with the damn form of this damn song - thought I'd finally conformed what needed to be conformed.
-
But when I played it, I was still two lines short, which I'm still trying to write.
-
Then there are the main two verses with the real tune and that's requiring a lot of work, as I originally just wrote line after line after line - but until it starts doing the line after line, the two verses have to match musically - then I can do the long finish.
-
Sometimes it comes easy, sometimes it takes a little time.
-
I dozed off for a bit, too.
-
Hadn't shaved since Saturday, so I shaved.
-
That was exciting.
-
Must get us off this lowly page five.
-
Since I was so errant and truant for two days in a damn row.
-
I have some trash to take out.
-
And take it out I will.

No one can stop me.

The Never-ending Page.

It goes on and on, which is more than I can say for my sanity.
-
The online AABA online book fair is happening, so I visited that.
-
The prices are completely out of control. Nothing even approaching a bargain or even a good deal.
-
Of course, the really outrageous dealers sell nothing.
-
You'd have to be clinically insane to pay those prices because you would never in a million years be able to cash out and get anywhere near what you paid.
-
That's why I'm enjoying the book auctions, where there ARE some amazing deals to be had.
-
Even the pricier things go for much less than these dealers are asking.
-
I have a few of the books being sold - if I called one of those dealers and offered my better copy to them, they'd offer me peanuts. And that's the problem with these people.
-
The greed has become an epidemic.
-
It's not fun anymore.
-
Is there gaslighting going on?
-
See?
-
Back to Hell Divers.
-
Had an early birthday dinner with friends. Had cacio e pepe with grilled chicken. Very nice.
-
Book collecting, the thrill of the hunt, was FUN. When I used to go the the Armory book fair in New York, I would ship home boxes and boxes of books I got there - amazing titles, beautiful copies, and reasonably priced. Those days are gone, I suppose.
-
Dessert was panna cotta with a blueberry sauce. Delicious.
-
I will attend the next book fair in LA - haven't been to one in years.
-
A book fair sounds like fun.
-
Had my elections training today. It was three hours, but it moved quickly.
-
A Fat Orange Cat.
That should be the title of something.
-
Online book fairs are just weird. The entire point is to hold the book, check the condition, be around fellow collectors and friendly dealers, enjoy the camaraderie. Staring at a computer screen doesn't quite do it.
-
I just finished watching OKLAHOMA! I for the first time really noticed Kelly Brown as one of the farmers/dancers.
He was one of the suitors in 7 Brides For 7 Brothers.....so good looking. And his best role was in Daddy Long Legs where he had a real part with lines AND dancing.
He is the father of Leslie Brown the ballet dancer in The Turning Point.
-
I suppose I shall watch South Pacific now after a report on a message board that star Mitzi Gaynor mentioned the "gay orgies" among the "sailors" on location.....
Why not?

Took wife’s car to local mechanic today for oil change. Asked him to check one parking brake warning light. When we get the car back, now ALL warning lights are on like a Xmas tree. He can’t figure out why. Now I’m in the shizzle.

It's not fun anymore.
That's really too bad. :-\

Rained like hell all day.
-

It does!
-
Hell driving rain.
-
Rained like hell all day.
It rained here, but not like hell...not even like heck. Mostly just a little fall of rain (a Les Misérables reference) and some downpours that didn't last very long.
-
Not the best day, if I’m honest.
-
But it’s over now.
-
As Roxette once sang.

Yikes! :o I had only had my car for about a year and a half and all the lights on the front panel would light up, but not after I turned it off a couple of times.
-
They couldn't take a reading unless the lights were on, so I really couldn't schedule an appointment. I just had to hope that I could get in when the lights were lit.
-
Fortunately, I finally was able to and it turns out that they had to replace the entire dashboard. I had a loaner car for about a week and a half. ::)
-
Well, tonight's rehearsal went well.
-
The costumer came in with some pieces so that the actors would have something to wear so that they can take pictures next weekend (not this coming weekend).
-
After the costumer left, we started at the top of the show and added the mother and the maid. Neither actress had been at the blocking rehearsal the first time.
-
I thought i remembered you had a similar car problem, G.
-
Fortunately, they don't have a lot of blocking, so it went pretty well.
-
I hope we don’t need a whole new dashboard.
-
I thought i remembered you had a similar car problem, G.
Yup, and I haven't had the problem since!
-
Ain’t under warranty no more.
-
Gratuitous Post #200!!

Is yours a new enough car to still be under warranty? :-\ My car was.

Vinyl records are what I collect, and the prices are only going up.
-
I am on a trusted and limited Facebook record sales group that is a good source and still fun.
-
It’s harder to thrift good stuff like I did for ages.

Record fairs now are a bit of a madhouse.

I've seen them.

I've read them.

I wrote them.

They're kind of fun.

Did George eat a burrito?
-
Nice that I arrived AFTER the page that shall not be named.
-
That was good fortune.
-
I loved the Bradys and I loved Rip Taylor, but even 6-year-old me didn’t make it past the first episode of the Brady Variety Hour. I knew something had gone horribly wrong.
-
Good fortune is always good.
-
Can't have enough good fortune, if you ask me.
-
Perhaps I should relate the tale of The Randy Vicar and the Nutmeats.
-
That one's a corker.

A real honest to goodness corker.

When people uncover some artifacts of ‘70s TV culture, it is important to note that many of them seemed bad *at the time*.

I had some low-fat Wheat Thins. I'm already feeling wheatier and thinner.

I might even have more.
-
Made it to page nine.
-
Very nice.
-
Perhaps I should change the topic.
-
It's a favorite topic.
-
I have never seen The Fortune Cookie or Cookie’s Fortune.

And has to do with the new notes.
-
To the notes!
-
The Fortune Cookie is fun.
-
Perhaps the last really good Wilder movie.
