I've also voted for the BroadwayWorld awards and got the confirmation email. Hope your two actors up for the same award don't split the vote too much!

It was also nice to get the chance to vote for Julia Bullock in a category that didn't compete with 70.

They finally updated everything, so we've now moved up considerably in every category - I'm now in fourth position, for example. Please have your friends vote, too - the more the merrier.

I slept well for the first four hours. Then I woke with some respiratory issues that kept me awake for maybe an hour. Then I slept for a couple of hours until Thatch jumped into bed to cuddle. My winterize4d bed keeps m,e very snug, but I need to rethink the positioning of the comforter today. It lies too heavy on the bed.

Today I hope to see Joshie, who's been tied up since last Thursday with Gypsy orchestra rehearsals. Jen is coming down to help with my Instagram-Google issues. I had an Instagram snafu ago Sunday, and now I cannot log back on.

I keep getting a screen saying "Help Us Confirm It's You" in reCAPTCHA from Google. So, there's a box to click on "I am not a robot." I click on it, and I have to click on all pictures of bridges, mountains, bicycles, buses, and so on. The problem is, I'm on a loop, and I keep getting back to "Help U&s Confirm It's You." When I click on "Terms" under the reCAPTCHA logo, I get this:

Today is the birthday of my high school friend, and DR Ginny's husband, Richard. Eleven years ago we had this wonderful birthday celebration at the late, great Arties.

A very Happy Birthday to DH Richard!

I well remember that evening at Artie's, Jose dropping by later, and I think that was when I had first discovered Stew Leonard's pumpkin raisin cookies and brought a bag down for DR Elmore. Is that correct? Or a couple of you shared them? Something like that. Anyway, I know that was my first time meeting vixmom, and quite possibly DR Ginny (plus Richard) as well. Eleven years ago. Wow.

Have done my first drop in the "operative eye".

I find I have to acquire some grape or cranberry juice.  As a diabetic, I take half a daily insulin dose tonight and drink 8 ounces of one of those two juices two hours before my 9:35 a.m. procedure.

Otherwise, that's it.  Dress comfortably; leave all valuables at home.

The closing of Artie's was a crime, to deli lovers and to the neighborhood itself. I'm still angry when anything like that happens.

That was my first time there, and I think DR Elmore and I had three or four subsequent visits there for lunch. It was comfortable, the people were nice, the food was fine, and ... well, don't get me started. Oh wait, you already did.  :)

Good luck on the one-day prep and first cataract surgery tomorrow, DR Ron Pulliam.

I forget the details now, but I had to start eye drops a week or more before, and those and other drops continued for a few weeks after. That's the only pain in the ASS about the thing. The drops regime seems to vary among various doctors and patients.

Other than that, as the anesthesiologist told me while I was lying there waiting for the surgery, this is literally the easiest surgery you can have, just relax and enjoy. You walk in, my place had us lie down on the cart (that'll be wheeled in to the surgical room, you don't even have to move from it), fully dressed (with a smile, of course), and you're given coffee and a cookie afterward and wheeled out to your ride. Then just do nothing (I slept a lot) the rest of the day, and Bob's your uncle. Actually, I don't think I got an Uncle Bob, but everything else worked out fine.

Indian pudding??

It's kind of ironic there's a "National" day for it, since as this board shows, few outside of New England have ever heard of it.

It's an old-fashioned New England dessert, a pudding made from cornmeal and molasses. The old Durgin Park restaurant used to serve it, but I don't know who does any more since they closed.

After which, DRs Elmore and Ben and Ginny and DH Richard (who am I leaving out? maybe no one?) and Kristi and Nathan and I went to a diner down the block or around the corner, I forget exactly where it was, and had the most delightful visit and conversation. Those were the days, man.

I believe we went to the Utopia on Amsterdam between 72 amd 73.

That sounds right. On Bing Maps it looked like it may be gone now, but I grabbed this street image from Google Maps. (I'm so happy when those sites don't get updated too quickly.)

As far as I know, the Utopia's still in business.

My thermostat is now working.....Robin Williams the technician showed me how to reset the thing and also told me that it is powered by the system itself and didn't need to have batteries inside it.

The batteries are only there in case of power failure.....your system settings will stay set.

So I learned something.  And it was $59......BUT knowledge is power!

Today is preparation day.

Have done my first drop in the "operative eye".

I find I have to acquire some grape or cranberry juice.  As a diabetic, I take half a daily insulin dose tonight and drink 8 ounces of one of those two juices two hours before my 9:35 a.m. procedure.

Otherwise, that's it.  Dress comfortably; leave all valuables at home.

DR RON PULLIAM I buy the Healthy Choice Cranberry Juice at Dollar (25) Tree.

It is very low cal and low carb - and it comes in many flavors.

My mom buys that all the time, but it's not real juice, only flavored water.  If you need the benefits of the juice, you gotta get the real stuff. :-\

We had our six month check at the dermatologist this morning. 

I went in with a long list of spots I was concerned about, or wanted removed as they bothered me. I was sprayed close to twenty times-ouch.  A number of the spots, including the one on my nose, were pre-cancerous so I am very glad I caught them early. She also found a few pre-cancerous ones I had not noticed.

Here's an Amazon first: I needed dishwashing detergent, so on Nov. 3 I ordered a pack of 3 bottles for $15.oo from Amazon, as I usually do, on Nov. 3. Usually, it arrives in 2-3 days. Only this time, I was told it would arriver by Nov. 11, eight days later. I thought, well, I've got enough to last by then. Then . . . Amazon changed the arrival date today, and last night  the remaining I had.

This morning I checked my order: due to arrive today by 10:00. I couldn't figure out why a UPS carton shipped on Nov. 3 - according to tracking number - took ten days to arrive.

Just now, I got anm ermail from Amazon saying the carton would not arrive until Nov. 19! I called amazon customer service, told them to refund my money, and blow the fucking order out their ass.

Watching a very meta Greek movie called The Summer with Carmen. Two gay men on a nude beach in Athens try to write a screenplay about two gay men on a nude beach in Athens. Carmen is a dog.

Thanks for the surgery vibes.

I am still having anxiety and hope I don't lose sleep because of it.

I am not afraid of the surgery, but...it's my EYE!!!

I sure hope the sedation makes me not care.

All hail the idiocy of Trump:

Matt Gaetz is nominated for Attorney General.   

That is likely the most asinine, insane and supremely stupid move Trump has ever made.

Gaetz, in Congress, never did a thing...never anything constructive, never anything patriotic and never anything commendable.

There is a chance he will not be confirmed as a few Republicans are very much against it.

Ever since the Gaetz news I just keep thinking of Derek Jacobi saying ,"Let all the poison that lurks in the mud, hatch out."  in I, Claudius

Trying to watch a movie and wondering how it's already nine o'clock. The movie isn't good so far - something that came out just a couple of months ago - it sounded like it might be good but it's just to cliched and looks like every other theater mystery of the last few years - you know, the Knives Out kind of thing.

We got the youngsters their Canadian passports, so if we have to slip out of the U.S.  full-time, it shouldn’t be too difficile.

That's great but how do you slip out?

We’d move.
