Last night DR George wrote that my library has very weird rules for requests.

Well since all the dvds are free, they don't allow people to reserve dvds. But they decided that if people suggest the dvds. Then they will allow those people to get the dvds first. I find it okay.

If you see that a dvd is at the library you are able to call and ask them to hold it for you for the day.

Good morning, all! Besides typng lyrics for Herbert's German lieder, this weekend I am moving furniture about and pitching unwanted items; I've shipped enough CDs and books to Ohio that I can hopefully lose a CD case and move things around a bit for space and accessibility.

I see no one mentioned the preview I posted last night, so I doubt anyone watched it. I can only urge you to watch this wonderful item about the world's oldest living holocaust survivor. Alice is amazing.

BK, your Nov 3 Gardenia show was mentioned on the Barihunks site this week:

DR Elmore, don't know if you saw this in the NYT review of Christine Brewer's concert:

As an encore, she sang a comic Victor Herbert song, “Art Is Calling for Me,” putting an impish spin on the first lines of the chorus: “I long to be a prima donna, donna, donna,/ I long to shine upon the stage.”

I now have three cats running wild in my house.   Well, two observing the third running wild.   Ricky woke me up about 6:00 AM. He was crying and scratching the door.  I really don't want the door scratched up, so I eventually just went in there and laid on the bed. every time he scratched, I put him in his carrier.  I don't know if he got the message, but the scratching stopped.

He has now explored nearly every nook and cranny of the house, had Boo hiss and swat at him numerous times and even got Callie a little ticked off, not that easy a thing to do.  But it's going amazingly well.  I'm considering leaving him out of the room when I go do my errands.   He has no fear, but he really isn't a fighter, so I think they will be ok.

Saturday morning greetings!  Richard and I were out quite late (for us) last night.  The Miami University concert was really 2 for 1 - Men's Glee Club before intermission, Collegiate Chorale (men and women) after.  Both groups are led this year by an interim conductor, an engaging young man who recently completed his doctorate at Cincinnati's College Conservatory of Music.  He was a little nervous last night, but he did a fine job with both groups.

We had a bit of a scare yesterday when my nephew Daniel, who has been going through chemo, had to go to the hospital because he was having trouble breathing and was coughing up blood.

Thankfully it turned out the  blood was not coming from his lungs but from the back of his throat...evidently his coughing had caused that.

He is back home now, and the  doctors are even thinking that he might not need to go through his final round of chemo, for which I know Daniel will be very happy about. He is eager to get back to normal and to get back to work.

Doris Day fans, she is giving a very rare interview to be broadcast at 1:30pm New York time on

WNYC Radio (http://www.wnyc.org/)

It's on the FM station and it will stream live. Jonathan Schwartz will conduct the interview. The program is on now (from 12 noon to 4pm). Make sure 93.9 is highlighted and then click listen now. A new window will open and the program will begin.

Again, the Doris Day interview will take place at 1:30 Eastern Standard Time on WNYC Radio 93.9FM.

I don't know if it will be available on the Web site after the program is over. It's not the iPlayer so I'm not familiar with their scheduling.

Lots of vocalizing from Boo, but that's ok.  Ricky backs down immediately, so he's accepting his place in the pecking order.  Another very good sign

I was going to go shopping today, but I am really enjoying just sitting.  Maybe I'll move all my outdoor furniture into the garage for the winter.  That will only take about 20 minutes.  It's beautiful outside.  Then I do need to vacuum.

I took a 30-minute walk around the basement, folded some laundry, and puttered a bit at the package-wrapping table.  Now it's time to clean up, get my Go Blue gear on for tonight's game against Penn State, and put together a chicken & rice dinner.

My apartment is a complete disaster: I consolidated my CDs, removed a CD rack which holds around 350 CDs, and carted the rack to the basement. Then I redid another shelf which holds a lot of DVD and moved around several filinging cabinets, only to decide I need to buy one more filing cabinet. I'll do that next week. I can't do much else till the new cabinet arrives so I've got piles of books sitting on the floor. I think I'll move them all to one area of the apartment and call it quits for now.

Then I'll go out for a walk.

DR elmore--regarding renting a car:  I have to again sing the praises of priceline.com.  While you don't know the company you're renting from until your bid is accepted, there's nothing to lose as far as I'm concerned.   They tell you whether it's an airport location or in a town/city.  I've always rented from the airport location so there was never a problem.   I've bid as low as $15 for a mid-size car and been accepted (of course there are taxes and fees, but the full price is shown before you bid).

I agree. She sounds great. It's funny that she thinks people might not know who she is just by hearing her voice. It's certainly aged and deepened but as soon as you hear it you know it's Doris Day. Jonathan Schwartz said they spoke for about 2 hours. They cut the interview down to about 65 minutes. I would love to hear the rest of the stuff and hear her talk more about her movie and television work.

I don't know what we will have for dinner. We will eat around 6pm after Beverley. Maybe just some soup. We ate dinner out last night (our usual Friday night date) at one of our favorite places, Lasagna, and we both ate too much. I had chicken with porcini mushrooms and Anthony had spinach fettuccine with artichokes in a pink sauce. We then had dessert which we don't usually do. I had Tiramisu and Anthony had pumpkin cheesecake. It was a nice way to break in the cool fall weather.

This year's "Carols for a Cure" came in the mail today. Some good cuts. Some that will take a little getting used to. I like the cast of "La Cage" merging "We Need a Little Christmas" and "The Best of Times" together. And Bernadette Peters is lovely on "Jul, Jul." Marin Mazzie and Jason D. are good on "What Child is This." And Jackie Hoffman is a hoot on "It's Chanukah."

I just got up. It's going to be a long week at work starting Monday. I may have to work later than I usually do this Friday  because our deadline is Friday November 5th but I'll still be there to see Dear Amy's film.

Just got the times for the film, Ben:
1:00-2:50-4:40-6:30-8:20-10:10

Peter and I will be at there before and after the 6:30 show. There won't be much time to do a Q&A after but perhaps a short one. I think the distributor wants to squeeze in a lot of screenings to our numbers look good. If  we have a good turnout in NY (and LA) the first week and it gets held over, then there will be a better chance for it to spread to other theatres. We've already picked up another theatre in Long Island at Sag Harbor.

After the 6:30 show we'll probably run out for a bite somewhere nearby and then come back for the end of the 8:20 film and go out for a drink or something afterwards.

Unfortunately, Greg has to work so he won't be able to join us. :-( But we'll party on anyway!

Doris Day fans, she is giving a very rare interview to be broadcast at 1:30pm New York time on

WNYC Radio (http://www.wnyc.org/)

It's on the FM station and it will stream live. Jonathan Schwartz will conduct the interview. The program is on now (from 12 noon to 4pm). Make sure 93.9 is highlighted and then click listen now. A new window will open and the program will begin.

Again, the Doris Day interview will take place at 1:30 Eastern Standard Time on WNYC Radio 93.9FM.

I don't know if it will be available on the Web site after the program is over. It's not the iPlayer so I'm not familiar with their scheduling.

I now know what Jonathan Schwartz looks like (I listen to him on satellite radio) but I don't see anything about Doris Day.  I will miss the broadcast & hope I can listen to it later.

He was in our Mercer doc, and gave a great interview. He was also the only interviewee to call the director on his inane line of questioning!

I made it on to Showtime this week with a review of La Cage. The show will be re-broadcast tomorrow, 9pm Cardiff time. They "fall back" on Sunday so the time will be an hour earlier I believe which is 3pm NY time. Just click on Listen Live tomorrow and enjoy. I'm about 35 minutes into the show.

If you don't want to or can't listen live tomorrow then you can use the BBC iPlayer. I'll post that link after the program goes up so you can jump directly to the show.

We had a bit of a scare yesterday when my nephew Daniel, who has been going through chemo, had to go to the hospital because he was having trouble breathing and was coughing up blood.

Thankfully it turned out the  blood was not coming from his lungs but from the back of his throat...evidently his coughing had caused that.

He is back home now, and the  doctors are even thinking that he might not need to go through his final round of chemo, for which I know Daniel will be very happy about. He is eager to get back to normal and to get back to work.

Chicken & rice is in the oven and I've been watching Iowa demolish Michigan State.  DR Cillaliz, is it as warm in Iowa as the people in short sleeves make it look?

It was a beautiful day today. I had my windows open all day.  I was ripping wall paper off the room upstairs while Callie Boo and Ricky were terrorizing each other.   I could hear them, but decided they have to figure things out.  Boo is the most upset.  Ricky came up to see me, then Boo came up to see me.  When I finally came downstairs Callie and Boo were on the dining room table, Ricky was on the floor and the girls were hissing and howling at him.  He does follow them around and they can't shake him.

Anyway, he was so wound up....I finally realized that every time he tried to eat the girls would hiss and stop him from eating.  I took him up to his room and he ate and ate and ate and ate.  He has really calmed down. So we are back downstairs.  The girls are not amused.  I think I'm going to sleep in his room with the door shut tongiht.  I've cleaned and vacuumed in there and with the windows open all day it just faintly smells like sulfur

I've decided Ricky is that kid that tries way to hard to be friends and no matter what someone says or does to him, he's right there.  You want him to go away because he's such a pest but when he's gone you miss him.   The minute we came back downstairs,  He calmly curled up and started howling from the other side of the room.   can't wait until this phase is over

Last night, I dreamed about the horrible office warehouse where I suffered for several years between 1973 and 1977, Office Outfitters, owned by a total jerk named Dudley Inwood, whom we called Deadly behind his back. Fifteen minutes ago, I answered the phone and it was a call from Chuck Veidt, one of my co-workers from Office Outfitters, who was trying to track me down for another of our co-workers, Peggy Short, who's around 87 now. She and my mother were the same age. We will get together when I'm back to visit at Thanksgiving.

I've ordered the filing cabinet, which will arrive on Tuesday, tidied up as much of the mess as I can, and I feel pretty good about the apartment situation. I'm still undecided about whether or not to move the floor lamp.

For Halloween I'm watching the terrifying BBC version of THE WOMAN IN BLACK. I may turn it off; it's too creepy and unsettling.

I hope that it's not freezing tomorrow night for Halloween. I'm already expecting it to be cold. I will have to bundle up.

My niece wants to be a hula dancer. So today I called her and asked her if she wanted me to be one too with her. And she said yes. So I got a hula skirt. And already have my necklaces. I will need a flower for my hair.

Of course outdoor costumes are different here. You have to make room for your winter coat underneath.

A hula costume over a coat must be funny.  The coldest Halloween I can remember was the year Keith took the kids & I stayed home.  It just happened that way. :)

Vibes for DR JANE......

The last of the trick or treaters have gone.....we had lots of fairy princesses, a few Supermans - including a set of twins - a few Harry Potters...and lots of Shreks and Buzz Lightyears.....BUT what we had most was PIRATES!!!!

Tonight? ? ?

Some cities are doing Halloween early this year. I read it's so it won't conflict with Sunday Night football.

It won't be bad with her costume. If she wears a coat that goes to her waist she can just wear her necklaces over the coat. And the skirt can be over her pants.

I'm crossing my fingers that I don't get sick again. My sister and nieces seem to be magnets for every type of cold. They both had realy bad er infections last week.

Usually when they get sick, my sis gets sick and i get sick (it happened twice so far this fall). But this time my mom got sick and my sis. But me and my nieces are fine (althought they are still on their antibiotics).

 I remember wearing my gypsy costume and mask over my pink and blue parka when I was a little girl.  I've seen photos over the years (I think my mom still has them) but I remember how bad I wanted to be a gypsy and how cold I was.   We've had snow, ice and all kinds of weather here on Halloween.  I think it will be ok tomorrow. It may rain, but I hope not.  I need to go buy candy.

Thanks for the vibes Jennifer.  I watched the video and set up to begin the injections & decided to wait until tomorrow.  I wanted to begin tonight, however, the kit is set up to begin on a Sunday.  I figure for two years it would bother me to have the kit begin at the end of the week instead of the beginning.

I got a lot of the wall paper off of the walls in the room I'm going to redo.  It looks like someone redid the ceiling at some point.  I'm hoping it wasn't water damage, then the floor may be bad under the rug.

After reading about it here, I tried Priceline for the first time tonight to get a rental ca for LA. I put in a bid for $25 a day, and then decided to lower it to $20, and got it! That's way lower than even my USAA 40% discount. Yay! HHW membership has its privileges!

We had actress Chrisse Roccaro (mentioned in BK's Jewish Review article) and hubby over tonight for dinner to give them the LOVE LETTERS scripts and to catch up.  We also inaugurated two of the four fireplaces.  Everything is cozy-wozy, though I noticed a little scratch on one of the walls and am struggling to find the right color in the paint cans left behind.  It's weird how paint dries to a completely different color than it goes on wet.

Tonight, I went to the wedding of my friends, Tim and Ingrid.  They had a lovely ceremony with what looked like an audience of more than three hundred people!  The wedding started at 5:00, went for about a half hour, then the reception was still going on when I left at 10:15!  It was a lot of fun and I got to sit with friends (I'm not a mingler)...we, the couple's theater friends, were all at three tables in one corner of the room and we had a lot of fun.  It was great catching up with some of them.

One thing about the wedding, Tim (the groom) loves Batman...not just a fan, but a fanatic!  I got to look at his wedding ring and at first it looked like it was a simple gold band with his birthstone, but when he twists it, it has the Batman logo embossed into it...twice!  Ingrid got diamonds and Tim got the Batman logo.  They both got what they wanted! :D

Now that I have somewhat recovered from my travels I can no longer put off beginning the first of my two years of nightly injections to build bone.  I sure could use some vibes this doesn't make me ill.  Nausea is one of the main side effects, dizziness the other.  Needless to say I'm somewhat nervous about them.
