Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of finishing the book 28, and now it is time for you to post until the 28 cows come home.

And the word of the day is: FANTABULOUS!

BK, that's a great picture of you and Miss Tura (also a Gypsy reference ;D )!
-
And congrats (again) on finishing your 28th book! I've already made a space for it, so when we can post pictures again, I can post my picture of where it'll go.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I was up at 5:15 to be ready for an Amazon Fresh delivery between 6:00 and 8:00. There's been no email this morning to alert me to its advent, and that bothers me. I usually get one around 5:45, telling me my order is now out for delivery. I don't know if the wether has screwed up things or what the fat hell is going on.
-
I loved today's notes, BK. Congrats on finishing #28; I'm still fretting over Book #2.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Congratulations again, BK.
-
Great photo in the notes. I’ve been a big Tura fan since falling under the Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! spell.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
And others.
-
Congratulations on your monumental achievement, BK.
-
I was interested to read that the NY Times is changing the Wordle rules, and will now allow words to repeat.
-
I guess they'd run out of 5-letter words eventually.
-
Good morning.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Mucho congrats on finishing No. 28!
-
The traffic this morning was horrendous. Road construction made driving treacherous. But my first behavioral challenge, a young lad named Wyatt, is absent today.
-
I am getting old. I finally discovered why I never heard from Amazon Fresh: my delivery is scheduled for 6:00 to 8:00PM!
So . . . I cancelled the order and reordered. It should arrive tomorrow, 8:00 to 10:00AM.

Last night was the invited dress rehearsal for Encores! High Spirits. I cannot find a chat on any of the theatre boards about it.

I didn't see it.

Congrats to MR BK on having number 28 in the books- so to speak.
Congrats.....and also on the interesting email development!
-
I went to the getting place this morning and things were gotten.
Sn*w is predicted for tomorrow so I didn't want to mess with that.

I took my old xfinity TV Box/Remote/Power Source to the UPS store to send them back since I got my new 4K streaming box.
The girl who helped me moved here from Arizona. She had to return a tv box when her previous one conked out after only two years. She thinks she drives better in snow than the folks who were born in Indiana. She previously worked in a salon doing eyelashes.
But that's all I could find out because I was only there for about a minute and a half.

Yes, I am one of Dr. Rick's patients from the Progressive commercials.

Vibes for DR RODZINSKI!

DR George, thanks for the Great last night.

Oh no DR Rodzinksi.
CONTINUED JOB VIBES FOR BOTH OF YOU!

Bruce, congrats on finishing the book.

Sorry about the construction.

What is everyone's favorite Ricky Nelson tune?
That is a hard one. Of his earlier songs, maybe Hello Mary Lou - Goodbye Heart.
Garden Party. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JK0Z6IdLF4)

Good choice DR JANE.
No not literally - but I could use that money!

Interesting. When I first heard about and starting playing Wordle, I vaguely remember that you could download the game and that there were about 5000 or so words built in. That's 13 or so years' worth, which is quite a long time of playing before it would run out of words.
-

Wordle hasn't been around for 13 years yet. ::)

Hopefully, it's an excused absence.

Glad you realized that and were able to fix the situation!

:o
I've known a few people like that. ;D
-
Ricky Nelson? Easy - Poor Little Fool.
-
I'm up, I'm up - got up at seven after only four and a half hours of sleep. Caught up on stuff on the computer, thought about going back to bed but food will be here at noon, so I'll just futz and finesse until then.
-
I was to have three problem children today, one at a time, not all together. All three are absent today.

Two hours of futzing and finessing. Tons of little adjustments, breaking up the long dialogue stuff with prose, and especially the final chapter wasn't smooth at all, so that got a whole new page, basically, and while I loved the IDEA of the last paragraph and line, I'd written it very poorly. I think I got it right finally, but I'll look at it one more time before sending it off.

Good afternoon!

Re Ricky Nelson song. "Poor Little Fool" for me too. My brother had the 45 of that and I remember hearing it over and over.

Good choice MR BK.
I am guessing that since his father Ozzie was a musician he had a lot to do with Ricky's recordings.
I know Ozzie played guitar on some of them.
-
I put some crumbs of potato chips out in the snow for the birdies a couple of hours ago.
They are all gone now!

I wish the family had done more singing together on the show.

I survived the day. It was actually easy.

New Muppet Show tonight on ABC at 9 p.m. EST.

I enjoy reading about your adventures DR JOHN G.

Muse Margaret finished reading the final batch of pages - and thankfully she really, really loved them, and she especially LOVED the last line. After I sent the pages, I began to think maybe I needed to be a little more blatant on the set-up to it and wrote four variations of it - but Margaret thought it was just right and that we didn't need to sledgehammer it. I can now breathe easy and in a day or two I'll start my proofing go-through, and then send it the proofers for proper proofing.
-
DR George, thanks for the Great last night.
You're welcome, Jane!

Well, this is interesting:
Bill would require Washington high schools to teach kids to create a signature to help them vote (https://houserepublicans.wa.gov/buzz/capitol-buzz-bill-would-require-washington-high-schools-to-teach-kids-to-create-a-signature-to-help-them-vote-opinion-policies-will-help-wash-students-succeed/)

Interesting.

Slow news day?

Here we are at 4.

My fave Ricky Nelson lately is from his Live at the Troubadour album from 1969.
Violets of Dawn.

~~~MORE EMPLOYMENT AND FINANCIAL VIBES~~~ for the Rodz household
-
I'm just in the work grind. Nothing really to say or to report.
-
I love board games.
My favorite one is where they put meat and cheese on a board. Sometimes fruit and crackers.
I'm really good at that one.

Good night, friends.

Oh, yes. There were many other kids to deal with.

Gratuitous post 99!
-
I can’t count post 100!
-
Had dinner with a friend I hadn’t seen in about 15 years. She lives in the school district where I substitute. We had a great time catching up.
-
Dinner wasn’t bad. Italian.
-
I had rigatoni.
-
I’m listening to The Heart’s Invisible Furies for the second time. I’m really loving it. It’s like a gay Dickens in a more recent past.
-
Where is everybody?
-
Where have all the flowers gone?
-
Where has my appetite gone?
-
It’s gone ahead of me in line.
-
Led me straight to some good ice cream today: pecan pie and espresso were my choices.
-
Made me feel good.
-
Good for wood.
-
If I only could…
-
As I should …
-
Be it understood…
-
Hooray for Hapgood!
-
So far, I had a sandwich and a muffin. Probably should have another sandwich or something light. Nothing left here.
-
Hooray for Hapgood!
-
Strange posting.
-
Onward!

Five!

I know that one...it's called Shark Board! ;D

And if anyone is interested in the 2016 London production of Follies, it was posted (again?) on YouTube last month:

What is this page five malarkey???
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.
-
I wrote them.
-
You can read them with your X-ray Specks.
-
They haven't a hint of sex.
-
They do have nice pecks.
-
They have balances and checks.
-
And don't speak of Oedipus Rex.
-
They do flex.
-
They definitely vex.
-
And have the flavor of Tex-Mex.
-
They might perplex.
-
They don't talk about my ex.
-
That's enough of that.
-
Well, doesn't look like we're getting to another page, does it.
-
No, it does not.
-
Not one bit.
-
Tat for tit.
-
Here we sit.
-
I throw a fit.
-
Am in a snit.
-
I think there's gaslighting going on here.
-
See?
