Good morning, all! Last night's dream contained a train ride with a group of friends, exchaging a ticket. and a performance at the Arena Stage that Obama was attending. I have no idea what it means.
Since it's a weekend, the City has screwed up the subwat schedules, so I must needs take two buses to Toyland today. There are several things to be accomplished. I will make the bed and head out.

Yes DR ELMORE as DR CILLA LIZ posted last night - the Titanic miniseries will be on ABC tonight for three hours and will wrap up tomorrow night with a one hour episode.
The British reviews haven't been very kind.....and I downloaded the first three episodes - didn't like it much....a bit confusing - but perhaps they will edit it differently for US television.

Bangarang Radio will be broadcasting from WOW all day today starting at 12 Noon EST. And they will have a live stream of our Titanic Seance beginning at 7:40 p.m.
I'm not exactly sure how it works....but I think you can find it on this page. And that's PQRN Radio....not PORN Radio.

Yesterday DR RonP wrote about my strange neck injury:
Am having difficulty picturing this. Were you somehow holding that something you were throwing away in your mouth? And that's why you reached with your neck?
That's sort of like a form of whiplash, I'm reckoning.
Imagine you are sitting at a computer desk and the garbage is under the desk.
I sort of thought that the garbage was in a certain place but it was further back. And instead of bending down and hitting my head on the keyboard i sort of lowered my neck. But since the garbage was not where i thought i ended up lowering my neck without actually moving my head.
If that makes any more sense. It's just slightly aggravated today. But it should be fine. The reason i was slightly concerned is that i used to have bad neck problems. I even once had to wear a brace for a couple months.

DR George was mentioning that his library does not have Blu-rays. For some reason mine does now. And they are double buying every movie. Are there really that many people who have Blu-ray but not a regular dvd player? It seems crazy to me for them to be spending that much money on dvds.

I have a hard time with Julian Fellowes as a writer: his script for GOSFORD PARK was wonderful and I very much like DOWNTON ABBEY, but his libretto for MARY POPPINS is an illogical, meandering piece of crap.

I am experiencing the weirdest phenomenon that I think I have to go see my doctor about if it doesn't abate. I planted some flowers last week and then within a day or two my wrists (!) and palms got covered in a really bumpy rash. It doesn't itch, it doesn't hurt, but days of antibiotics and hydrocortisone have done nothing to make it go away. I'm getting a little freaked out.

Greetings from Toyland! The No 7 bus was really speedy through midtown since there's little traffic and few tourists at 8:30am on Saturday. The trip that took an hour the other day took 20 minutes.

I wonder what JR's Dream Gizmo will make of this one:
I was at a cabin which evidently belonged to me, and for some reason I made my living doing people's taxes. A woman and her child showed up to pick up the woman's taxes, but just then a huge bear lumbered up on the porch and I refused to open the door since my own family was inside and I wanted to keep them safe. The woman got hysterical and started pushing on the door and her child slipped through the opening, and I told her I would keep her kid safe but that I would not open the door. Then, as dreams do, it all shifted and the woman was IN the cabin, and in fact in my bathtub (though clothed), and I was telling her how glad I was she was safe, and she started berating me for not letting her in and I told her to get out of my home immediately.
Isn't that outre?
-
Good morning!

Taxes really shouldn't be on my mind despite the looming deadline, as I paid everything a week ago.

The Oregonian's precis for TITANIC tonight:

Then it sinks.

There's actually an interesting front page story about an Oregonian survivor, with reprints from her remembrances which were published on April 27 of that year in the Oregonian.

We got the wonderful storm from California, but we've had no rain yet-- at least in the part of the city where I live. A lot of wind-- but no rain.
-
We have a TORCON of 8 tonight. In other words, Western Iowa has an 80% chance of a tornado. I do have a ticket to the symphony tonight and it's right during the time the predict a tornado is most likely. If it's stormy, I'll probably stay home. If not, I'll go

Think I'll go and put out some more grass seed.

I, on the other hand, am up. The sun is shining. I guess rainy season is over.

While I usually enjoy watching BELL, BOOK AND CANDLE on occasion, I agree with BK that there's something that holds back the film. Maybe one zany character too many?
I never read the play--I need to dig it up. I wonder if it's doable today?
-
Still on page 2? This is dreadful!
And on that sour note I am heading home.

Mom was finally released from the hospital on Thursday and is now in a strangely decreed rehab center. She would much rather be home but grudgingly admits she needs to do some therapy.

I'll do some surfing and see if I can find some reviews.

Just picked more than 10 pounds of loquats off the tree and didn't make a dent in the supply. Am making a compote with dried cherries, cranberries and prunes. Should be great on vanilla ice cream.
I had planned on making loquat wine with all of them, but the recipe called for a 4-gallon pot, which I don't have.
-
Rehab vibes for your mom, Dan (the Man).
-
Two episodes of "Big Love" left and this season continues to be a downer. Not just dramatic, but depressingly so.
-
First link I happened upon was the Long Wharf's site which starts off describing the play:
Gillian Holroyd, a lively free spirit..."
Well, there's one point where the movie parts company with the play. I don't think Kim Novak was playing a lively free spirit.
-
Loquats?
-
Thanks for the vibes, DR John G.
-
Loquats?
They're a fruit. They're what sweet-and-sour sauce are made from.

Ooooooh--loquats! Now I recognize them!
Thanks for the visual, sir!

I read the play a long time go after seeing the film. I think the film's an improvement.

Lots of new characters in the film version, that's for sure.

There are street fairs and other madness all over Manhattan today: the No 7 bus took a detour over to Maidson Avenue at 42nd Street and went up Madison to 57th Street before getting back to its usual route. It's nice to be home.

So, I need to run to the corner bodega for some items.

Then, perhaps, a nap.

Hey! Did I miss anything?
I am sorry if I have kept you all out of the loop, until now. Anyway, on Thursday I left the Care Center and returned to my house. I will be undergoing P.T. on an outpatient basis, after I have healed a bit more.
That nursing home was not a good fit for me. I am sure there is plenty of guilt to go around. Naturally, I fell like I have made all of the right decisions regarding my recovery; and I honestly believe that their actions and conditions were counter-productive to my getting well. I talked to my surgeon’s office and I also talked directly to my nursing home doctor about my reasons for leaving; both had no problem with my actions. I attempted to call my Primary Care Doctor, as well, but he was out of town. I left him a message regarding the change in my care.
I would have come out of the place a lot more screwed up than when I went in.; if I had stayed any longer than I did.

I am fast approaching a major milestone (or a General Millstone).

Thanks. The first thunderstorm is rumbling now. It's a little to the south. I'm expecting a long day and night. I did get another bag of grass seed spread on the yard, so now I'm hoping for rain!

Each of the cats has come up to me in the last half hour and looked at me like "Ok, you are going to stay here, right?" The weather radio keeps going off and now there's thunder. This storm isn't going to do much damage, but they say it's just the prelude
-
I have to laugh a bit, the tornado watch stops at the county line to the south of us and the river to the west. It's like a tornado would come along and say "Oh, I must stop at the county line and go the other way"

Saturday afternoon greetings from rainy Findlay, Ohio! Anita and I arrived about 5pm yesterday, had a wonderful dinner at a place called The Gathering, and attended the AAUW/Ohio book discussion of The Death and Life of the Great American School System by Diane Ravitch. Today we've had a full day of presentations on topics like pay equity, community partnerships, human trafficking, and getting out the vote. There's now some down time until the dinner/awards presentation at 7pm. We've learned that our branch will receive awards for programming, communications, and diversity.

Welcome home to DR TCB! I hope the card I mailed to you at the care center catches up with you eventually...

I guess it turned out to be a good thing that you spent the extra weekend in the hospital. I was very concerned why you left the rehab place so soon.
How are you managing at home on your own? Please be extra careful not to fall & hurt yourself. I bet Nicky is happy.

Hello, everyone.
-
TCB: I, too, was concerned that you left the rehab center so soon, but if it wasn't a good fit, then you did the right thing. I'm glad you let the doctor there know your reasons. I hope that you're comfortable and happy at home. Now that you're on Social Security disability I hope that you'll get some home health aides, too. It's a shame patients have to fight so hard to get the care they need.

We had thunderstorms but nothing bad. We really need the rain, so we're happy about that. The sky is clearing right now, but there is a nother line of storms headed this way later. they said on the news that the worst we should expect is large hail and wind. I'm hoping it's not that either

TCB, your comments may or may not be a propos this anecdote, but they reminded me of it.
I play a lot of retirement homes, and at one of them a former member of my Senior Choir was a new resident. She was probably 85 if she was a day. She came up to me to talk to me while I was playing and I asked her how she liked it. She leaned in and whispered conspiratorially: "I hate it. Look at all these people--they're so old!"
-
A woman in my book group just had to downsize & move to a small apartment in a retirement community. She hates being with all the "white haired" ladies.

I am absolutely exhausted between working and running errands and driving to the hospital and the rehab etc..
-
and of course absolutely nothing has been done at home

I was watching the Titanic mini series, not really into it. I'm recording it so I'll watch the rest later. I just don't care about the characters and there are a lot of them to keep straight. Anyway, looks like the bad weather isn't over. think I'll be up late.
-
VIBES for all what needs 'em... I needs a nap now
-
OH A night to remember is about to start!! I'm recording that too, but I'm definitely going to watch it. OY! if the weather gets bad I'm going to have to decide which one to stop recording. Think it will be the miniseries. Just not into it.

I had a really bad headache earlier. So that wasted my evening. Just lying in the dark.
Thankfully it is gone now. I always get very scared since i have a history of migraines (very few but serious).
-
Not sure if i should go to bed now.
I had wanted to read earlier. But did not read a thing
-
Went bike riding with my niece twice today. For quite a while. I wonder if i am actually getting an exercise. I mean i'm on my bike (for probably 2-3 hours). But i'm really not exerting much effort. My pulse doesn't raise. But my feet are always moving. I guess it must be some exercise hopefully :)
My other niece is getting a new 2 wheeler with training wheels for her 3rd birthday in a month. She is very excited. Today she did ride on her tricyle. Although it took her like 30 minutes to get around the block. Good thing i didn't have to ride my bike beside her.
-
It was another warmish day today.And i think tomorrow is supposed to be even nicer. Was scheduled to be low 70s when i checked earlier. That is the warmest it's been here besides that one week of summer weather more than a month ago.
-
Yes DR ELMORE as DR CILLA LIZ posted last night - the Titanic miniseries will be on ABC tonight for three hours and will wrap up tomorrow night with a one hour episode.
The British reviews haven't been very kind.....and I downloaded the first three episodes - didn't like it much....a bit confusing - but perhaps they will edit it differently for US television.
I just started watching "Harry's Law" when I read your post. It's now about 8:20 and it turns out that my DVR was on ABC, so I was able to rewind it and watch from the beginning. My niece asked if I could make a DVD for her. I can, pretty easily.
-
Today, I was at my parents' house celebrating my niece's 28th birthday (even though it's actually on Tuesday). Now that I'm home, I'm watching and recording "Titanic."
-

Exactly...and all Blu-ray players can play DVDs. For several years, our library was buying both DVDs and VHS tapes for the same titles, as well as CDs and cassettes.
-
When I left my parents' house, I was going to drive my niece home. We decided to go to the Blockbuster that is closing so that she could buy some stuff. Today, all the movies were only $1 each (and the movies in sleeves were 2 for $1)! She bought a dozen movies and I bought another 17, count 'em 17 movies...for only $18.54! Seven of them were Blu-ray. :D
Another score!
-
Went out to dinner tonight with the friends with whom I will be traveling to Italy.
-
In order to make posts, I'll present each course by itself.
-
Cecil made the antipasti. He had grilled zucchini and yellow squash separately seasoned so there was a huge difference in flavor, a tomato-basil salad, tart pickled eggplant with plenty of vinegar and lemon peel, grilled raddichio, roasted red bell pepper, raw fennel and a mushroom salad that I could have eaten all night.
Sandy, the hostess, set out some burrata and Patti, another guest, brought some wild boar sausage.
An array of Italian white wines and Prosecco went with them.
-
Page five!
-
I made a Tuscan white bean and shrimp salad. I had made this before and didn't care for it. This version I loved because I had organic white beans from Italy and fresh Gulf shrimp to work with. The ingredients in something this simple have to be exceptional. They may cost a little more, but I found in this case, they were really worth it.
-
Sandy made saffron risotto, very creamy and rich.
-
Patti made brasciole, a meat roll, that was somewhat overcooked, but the flavor was really good.
-
Pam, Cecil's wife, made the main dessert: sage pudding. It was a recipe from Lidia Bastiancich and it worked beautifully (and I'm not a huge sage fan).
Patti knew what dessert would be, so she made lemon-pecan-corn meal cookies to go with them. They were light and like a Mexican wedding cookie, only more delicate.
-
Steve, Sandy's husband, opened the wines and proved indispensable at that. We also had a few red, but the whites were really stellar and everyone appreciated that. That makes me glad. I prefer a dry white that's well made to a pricy red wine. (Maybe it's because I live in a hot climate and icy whites are welcome here.)
-
Well, that was dinner. We talked and got to know Patti a little better than we had. This will be the first time that Pam and Cecil have traveled with Steve and Sandy. I've traveled with both separately, and none of us had traveled with Patti before.
I hope it works.
-
Cecil also lent me some rather large tubs, which means I will likely start making loquat wine in the next day or two.
I've never made wine before, and although loquat wine is sweet, I'm looking forward to giving it a try.
-
I hope these are enough posts.
-
Cause I'm getting tired.

Great to see you back, TCB. Hope the recuperation is going smoothly.

Well, "Titanic" didn't hold my interest. Not that I felt that it was bad per se, but I just wasn't interested in the stories that were being told. I still recorded it and will record the last part for my niece.
-
Right now, I'm cutting out all the commercials.
Just had to share. :)
-
Tomorrow, there's going to be a reading of "Titus Andronicus" that Pug (the artistic director of TAO) has cut down. It's just the first cut, but Pug wants to hear how it sounds. It'll be with anyone who just shows up.
-
I printed a copy for myself and will be involved in the production whether I'm cast as an actor or not.
-
If I don't act in it, I'll probably run either the light board or the sound board.
-
I ran the light board at the theater that we're more than likely going to perform in, and I ran the sound board for TAO's "The Hound of the Baskervilles."
-
Well, since we're so close...

PAGE SIX DANCE!!
-
Back from dinner, show, and dessert and shall now write the notes - I have to be up very early and out the door by ten as I got coerced into doing a fifty-mile drive to go to that dinner theatre. I should be home by four, though, maybe even three.

It's funny...coincidentally, I got the similarly titled, "A Single Man" and "A Serious Man."
I also got "I Love You, Man" and "I Hate Valentine's Day."

I must say that there are times when I think of people like Jose and a few others who just up and leave without a word (of course they don't up and leave Facebook, where it's more about them, I suppose) that I just want to shut this jernt down because I find it so irritating. I know Jose has done this before and then finally makes a reappearance months later, but I just will never understand it - no one did anything to him (and I'm not just talking about him specifically but he happened to be on my mind today because I'd sent him two e-mails (not about his absence) both of which went unanswered, which I find truly disgusting), and please don't tell me that everyone has been having wonderful private e-mails and he's just taking a break, because I don't want to hear it about him or anyone else, frankly - I'm at the point where if he never comes back then that's just peachy with me - I think everyone on this site has been far too good to him, and that includes me - but enough about that - my POINT is that whenever I start feeling this way, going to that place, I look at what this site really is about - TCB coming back to us and healing, Vixmom alive and well, people supporting and caring about each other - and I know I will NEVER shut it down because it's very special here. At least the folks here have BEEN here for TCB - those who haven't probably don't even know what's gone on. I guess it can be fun to be in a bubble or have it be all about you, but for me? Feh. End of rant.
