Well, you've read the notes, the notes had style and wit, and now it is time for you to post until the stylish and witty Noel Coward Cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: EUPHORIA!
-
And a very happy birthday to once upon a time dear reader Jed.
-
Married to once upon a time dear reader Ann.
-
They are strangers to us.
-
They have other fish to fry.
-
Did you know that fry spelled backwards is yrf?
-
I'm feeling rather yrf myself.
-
I'll try to be in bed between one-thirty and two.
-
Why not?
-
Of course, I'll take a nice hot shower first.
-
And take a Melatonin.
-
I am not so far from a rather large new posting number.
-
Not so far at all.
-
The question is, do I try to achieve it tonight.
-
Before bed?
-
I think I shall.
-
I'll even bet it gets us off this damn page.
-
Will George be coming back?
-
Will his jam be coming back?
-
Will he immortalize my new achievement.
-
We shall see soon enough.
-
Yes, we shall.
-
I am going for it, baby.
-
As Newley and Bricusse once wrote - nothing can stop me now.
-
I'm so close I can almost taste it.
-
Have you ever tasted it? If so, what did it taste like?
-
We are inching closer.
-
Still awaiting The Return of George.
-
Is there gaslighting going on?
-
See?
-
And here we go.
-
Any second now.
-
Any half second now.
-
And here we ARE! 145,000 postings!
-
A Very Happy Birthday to (former) DR Jed!! :D
-
And here we ARE! 145,000 postings!
Congrats, BK! ;D
-
Only 27 more (after this specific post) and I'll be at 141,000! :D
-
Will George be coming back?
Yes, he will! ;)
-
Will he immortalize my new achievement.
He will, and he did!
-
Still awaiting The Return of George.
I has returned.
-
Is there gaslighting going on?
Never!
-
And speaking of Jed, he will be directing a production of Into the Woods at Evergreen Playhouse in Centralia, Washington (where I performed in Mamma Mia! and A Murder is Announced, and I will be the stage manager for that! :)
-
I thought about auditioning again for them, but then I just didn't. ::) But the only two shows that I was interested in anyway were the aforementioned Into the Woods, and the musical version of A Christmas Story. Well, I couldn't do A Christmas Story at all because they're rehearsing already and I'm doing the show in Tacoma, so being stage manager for Into the Woods is the next best thing!
-
Here's the Playhouse's page for Into the Woods:

Good morning, friends.

CONGRATULATIONS to BK on your lofty new perch in the HHW firmament!!!!!

Trick or Treat Day on Oct 26? That makes NO sense.
-
I'm outraged.
-
I'm appalled.
-
I'm put out.
-
I'm terribly annoyed.
-
I'm in a snit.
-
I'm fit to be tied.
-
I'm hornswoggled.
-
I'm inconsolable.
-
I'm bewildered.

Good morning, all!

DR JohnG, when I read the Huffington Post article about the brouhaha with MAGA Moron Lutzenberger in San Antonio, the article did not mention the victim's name. I'm happy it was not you.
-
I slept poorly and lay in bed for an hour after the alarm rang, playing with the cats and debating whether or not to do the laundry this morning. I decided I needed to work on Gypsy instead. I didn't accomplish anything yesterdayept waiting for Jen to show up, and she never did.
-
DR George, I am sorry I did not wish you a successful opening last night. I hope the run goes smoothly.
-
I also cancelled my subscription to The Washington Post.
-
Postprandially.
-
Well, it's a post.
-
Went out for breakfast to celebrate the weekend.
-
I am full of huevos rancheros.
-
I'm also full of beans.
-
But that's another story.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Trying to enjoy a well needed relaxing and leisurely Saturday morning here.
It's basically working, but I don't think I'm going to feel COMPLETELY relaxed and at leisure until ... oh ... New Year's Day? :)
-
Saturday.
It is 40 degrees here headed for 63 degrees which is nice....clear sky.....
-
Congrats to MR BK on his new millstone.
-
Congrats to DR GEORGE on his opening....now on to the run!

Same here, DR Jrand74.
But there's a big dropoff over the next three days. It will be at or near freezing at night and BRISK in the daytime.
And then my Apple Weather app shows it over 70 again on Wednesday and Friday, with Thursday - HALLOWEEN - reaching 80.
EIGHTY! Hey, I'll take it. And I'll especially take it over the disastrous Halloween Nor'easter of 2011.

Or not.

Fritters at suppertime sounds like a tasty idea. At noon time and chore time, too.

Reaching post #100 before 11 a.m. (Eastern time)! What is this, a BK Millstone Day or something?
-
And here it is - Post #100 before 11 a.m. (Eastern time)!
-
Good morning.
-
So, while I was waiting for my wet ingredients to come to room temperature, I decided to get the dry ingredients ready.
-
So I sifted and measured and weighed and had everything ready. I planned on making the white cupcakes first, because I wouldn't have to wash the bowl and paddle to make the chocolate cupcakes.
-
So I got the wet ingredients all mixed and ready to go.
-
(I'm telling my story Vixmom style.)
-
I get the white cupcake wet ingredients in the mixer and then add the dry ingredients.
-
Wait! I wanted to make the chocolate ones second!
-
Yes, I got them mixed up. Wet ingredients for the white cupcakes and dry ingredients for the chocolate.
I baked them anyway.
-
They are delicious, but too soft. So I am remaking the chocolate ones.
-
The children from next door are happy this morning.
-
Cupcakes for breakfast!!
-
THE END.
-
And that is all the stress I want in my life.
-
(I'm telling my story Vixmom style.)
That's a great style!
-
Cupcakes for breakfast!!
Terrific happy ending to the story.
-
I'm up, I'm up - at least five hours of sleep, maybe a bit more. Might go back to bed.
-
145,000 posts! None of them wasted.

CONGRATULATIONS, DR George!!
Thanks, Singdaw!
-
DR George, I am sorry I did not wish you a successful opening last night. I hope the run goes smoothly.
Thanks, Larry!
-
It went pretty well. The audience certainly seemed to enjoy it. I had a couple of missed/incorrect cues because, well, the actors somehow jumped two pages! :o
-
It's been a good morning. Ann came to visit and told me all about her mother's funeral. Jen is away for a few days but she sent apologies through Ann about not helping me yesterday. Then I finished "Gotta Have A Gimmick" and "Dainty June and her Farm Boys." I still have the Broadway sequence to do, but I'm not sure I will finish it tomorrow.
-
I was following along and then all of a sudden they were in a different spot! One of the characters didn't get introduced to the Inspector, but the actor who played that role had the presence of mind to introduce his character, so that was a somewhat smooth moment. But otherwise, it was a good show and everything else went well.
-
Hopefully, it won't happen again! ::)
;)
-
Congrats to DR GEORGE on his opening....now on to the run!
Thanks, Jrand!
-
And speaking of Jed, he will be directing a production of Into the Woods at Evergreen Playhouse in Centralia, Washington (where I performed in Mamma Mia! and A Murder is Announced, and I will be the stage manager for that! :)

Yum!!

From your lips... ;D
-
Cupcakes for breakfast!!
Terrific happy ending to the story.
Agreed!!
-
Food ordered.
-
Should arrive in about thirty minutes.
-
At which point it will be eaten.
-
By me.
-
I will not share it.
-
Of course, who would I share it with.
-
Second set of notes sent.
-
After food, I'll get back to choosing songs.
-
I do want to watch a few movies today and tonight.
-
Why shouldn't I?
-
As I worked this morning, I listened to my 4-CD set of Collected Songs of Victor Herbert, which I haven't listened to in maybe 6-8 years. You may remember that we recorded it in a zillion sessions between Sept. 2010 and Feb. 2011, and arranging schedules of various singers was working my last nerve. It was hell.
Still, it came out very well, and I'm really proud of all the singers, including our DR singdaw, even the one who a year later stopped being my best friend. My beloved Rebecca Luker sounds so fabulous and she still breaks my heart with her "Indian summer."

From DR Jrand:
Excited for DR JANE being met at the airport just like royalty.

I'm relieved we don't have to take a shuttle to get a taxi.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JED!

Good morning.
Old Man from Church: "I thought of you today."
Me: "Oh, yeah?"
Old Man: I have my ballot and I realized I have to decide between a liberal and a crazy man."

It is enough.

As I worked this morning, I listened to my 4-CD set of Collected Songs of Victor Herbert
That was really an amazing experience for me. I am forever grateful to DR elmore3003 to have been a tiny part of it. Rebecca is, as always, luminous.
-
Former DR Jason is also on there.
-
I'm bewildered.
Are you bothered and bewitched ?

Are you bothered and bewitched ?
You betcha!

Today Vixdad and I went to early vote
-
Is this vixdad's first general election?
-
Must have felt good!
-
Speaking of elections... is anyone planning to see Conclave?
-
We went to a firehouse up the road where we were directed through a parking lot , past a lot of car spaces that were coned off with no parking signs then around a building out out the other side of the parking lot and up a narrow road with into a dead end
-
Vixdad loudly was expressing his displeasure at this turn of events
-
Then after a 47 point turn we finally managed to escape we drove another firehouse in another town,
-
There we were directed to park across the street in the high school parking lot
-
Then we joined a rather long line
-
About 90 minutes later we were finally done
-
Then we went to a newish restaurant we had never been to before
-
Avocados
-
Oddly very few menu items included avocados
-
But I ordered a cheeseburger with avocados and it was quite good
-
Congratulations to BK on his stupendous new posting total
-
Congratulations to George on a successful opening night
-
About 90 minutes later we were finally done
Yikes!

Finally!

I would think so, unless Vixdad was simply exhausted after the great effort to vote.

Avocados
We went to a restaurant with the same, or similiar name, on our trip. Almost everything had avocados.

Aww, great page-turn photo!
Thanks.

We did 1,768 voters today, a new high.
-
It went so well that we actually processed all the people we had and, for the first this week, we had a lull. A few people saw the lack of line and came in.
-
Onward.
-
Eight!
-
We had a few people from across town tell us that they came to our library because we get people in and out quickly.
-

We are the fourth or fifth most polling site in the city. Apparently the university sites are hyperactive.

Travel vibes for Jane and Keith!

Watching a movie called Sebastian. It's about a male sex worker who is writing supposed fiction about being a male sex worker. Lots of sex. But it's a little tiresome. He feels shame and guilt and yet he doesn't, though his writing reflects the shame and guilt he thinks he should be feeling. It's British.
-
Travel vibes for Jane and Keith!
Ditto vibes.
-
Congratulations, BK, on your lofty new plateau.
-
Back from a birthday party.
-
Not mine.
-
Many foodstuffs were consumed.
-
Dessert was chocolate cake AND chocolate pudding.
-
Good night, friends.
-
And others.
-
Chocolate cake and chocolate pudding sound divine.
-
I’ve been listening to Dolly and her sister read their new cookbook. Their Chocolate cobbler also sounds incredible.
-
Good night, all.

DR George I am glad your evening went well...for the most part.
Thanks, Jane, but it turns out that there was a repeat jump tonight...in the exact same place! :o
-
It's the actor who is still on script. He (yes, it's one of the male actors) must be missing something in his on-stage book prop. :-\

Good evening.

Trunk or Treat 2024 was a wild success. So many people for such a small church.
My wonderful next-door neighbors came with all their kids. Plus my dental hygienist came with her daughter.
-
We'll have to ask for a bigger grant next year.
-
The five-year-old pastor's son ran over to ask if there were any more cupcakes. I gave over the extras and the mistakes.
-
This old gal is tired.
-
Notes are written and ready to be posted.
-
And looky here - page nine.
-
Will George be along at any moment?
-
With his jam?
-
With his burrito?
-
I have some cherry jam here with nothing to put it on.
-
But I ate plenty today and I'm not having hunger pangs.
-
Or hunger fangs.
-
Or hunger games.
-
At what point do Jane and Keith actually stay put. Someone riddle me that?
-
I have never seen so much traveling by dear readers.
-
They travel here, they travel there, they come, they go, like Grand Hotel, but they sure never stay put for very long.
-
How many trips this year? Let's have an accurate number.
-
I have had zero trips this year.
-
I haven't even left the house much this year.
-
I've been the definition of a homebody.
-
Which is a body at home.
-
Guess George will join us after midnight rather than before.
-
Seems that way.
-
Way that seems.
-
I don't know, don't ask me.
-
I won't dance.
-
I just won't.
-
I do feel that page ten is lurking in the wings.
-
I feel it in my bones.
-
Could be.
-
Is there gaslighting going on?
-
See?
-
Page ten has made its entrance. Been a long time coming.
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.
-
I wrote them.
