Post after BK.
George, you told Fred that you are about an hour from Renton, but he is not going to be in Renton, he is going to be in Redmond.
Today, I'm working concessions for the Silent Movie Series: Charlie Chaplin Shorts (http://www.washingtoncenter.org/event/silent-movie-series-charlie-chaplin-shorts/). I love these silent movies with live organ music.
Last night, we watched an old Technicolor Betty Grable movie, THE BEAUTIFUL BLONDE FROM BASHFUL BEND.
It wasn't very good, but it was written and directed by Preston Sturges.
Everything was too over the top, particularly my late, former acquaintance, Sterling Holloway, who the director didn't seem able to control.
I’m ushering this morning (yes, morning) for an insurance company that’s taken over the center for the next few days.
I finally reached the pulled plug. got it back into the outlet, and then everything needed to be updated. According to my answering machine, it's 2016. The computer and modem had to reboot. By the time things were back in place, it was after midnight. I don't think I settled down for sleep until after 1:00. I got up at 7:00, fed the cats and went back to bed until 8:45 when one of them, climbing on the bookcase behind my bed, brought down a pile of books that knocked the lamp on my reading table to the floor.
Today is our read thru and sing thru - if we have an accompanist. No one seems to know if one is coming or not.....we shall see.
The director may be a bit late - so I am in CHARGE - HA!
And now I am off!!
So do i understand right: Jane is 3 hours from Redmond, George is an hour from Redmond, and Tom is about a half hour from Redmond.
So we'd probably have to really plan if a HHW PNW mini-gathering is going to happen.
Since the "pay-what-you-can" first preview is Thursday evening the 14th, I'd assume there will be nothing going on at the theater regarding Last Starfighter the afternoon of the 14th. But since George must be working that day (although it is Flag Day, which should be a day off but isn't), would the 14th afternoon be OK for Jane and Tom. Then George, if you might want to see the show that night, since the show's always played under 2 hours, including intermission, it could fit in with your schedule in terms of getting to work the next morning. Just an idea.
It was sometime after 3:30 a.m. before I fell asleep, but I still woke up at 715.

FJL, I shouldn't speak for George, but I imagine he will want to take the afternoon off to come up to Redmond with me.

I hope you have an interesting morning vs boring.

We did nothing. I did manage to see the contract for the space: $64,000 for four days, food and beverage not included. There’s probably a discount in there because there’s a public concert tomorrow night.
Leaving in a tick.....I shall return anon.
My new garden lights arrived today - perhaps I will put them out tomorrow.
HA! DR FJL - exactly right....I thought I made that clear in my email from the other day about whatever but you keep bringing up a different whatever even though we discussed both whatevers earlier and you agreed to what we talked about, I thought. And my dead aunt thanks you for letting me have the time to bury her.
Last night DR George mentioned the Impossible Burger. There's a burger chain near me that has them. I thought it was one of their creations, but I see now that many restaurants offer them. They don't appeal to me--I find meat completely unappetizing--but I think it's great for carnivores who want to eat less meat and more plant food. I'm glad to hear that George and Margo liked them.

Annoying isn't it.
Well, I'm a happy boy. The record I took a gamble on was indeed one I didn't have.
It's unbelievable to me that I never acquired all of these back in the 1970s when they were being issued, but I recently found that they're in fact quite stunning so I've been filling in the blanks. It's RCA's "Classic Film Scores of..." series with Charles Gerhardt and the National Philharmonic. Today's find is the Miklos Rozsa, which I absolutely must have had, and gotten rid of somehow. I shall clean it up and properly listen to it on the Big Speakers tomorrow. I'll also check for any others I might be missing.
It just happened that last year I took one of these out to listen to, and found that I'd never gotten all the ones they'd released. And while I'd harbored bad memories of RCA's '70s vinyl (remember Dynaflex?), with the cleaners we have now and the better equipment I'm playing mine on, they turn out to be gorgeous. They're probably on CD, but I'm thrilled with the cherce vinyl copies I have.
The book was Spaceman and the author was astronaut Mike Massimino, a Long Island native

I blame Jane!
Burgers without MEAT?
What is this madness?
I refuse to even let the thought cross my mind....

;D
Even if it tastes exactly the same as meat, is healthier, and better for the environment?
That said, I made something wonderful tonight. Low-carb cauliflower "mac" and cheese. It was also gluten-free. It didn't really taste like mac and cheese, but it was rich and satisfying, and I guess for people who have to keep gluten-free, it was a nice side dish.
We got zero cms of the the 30 cms of predicted snow. That part is good. But we have had really bad freezing rain tonight. And I think tomorrow is going to be fairly disastrous. I thought it was Spring!
Jennifer, I wish you spring.
Finished up Three Billboards Outside ... Some fine performances, and the script was at times excellent. But I don't think that either script or performances really deserved the Oscars they won.

Sounds like fun.
I am sure the rain will return this afternoon.

My work schedule is flexible. I can take a day off. ;D

Maybe he'll be there
Or maybe he will not
If no one's playing piano
We'll rehearse no matter what
(sort of tune of "Maybe" from AUNTIE, er, ANNIE)

Did I hear a story about this on NPR this week or was a post here by George?
I myself LOVE meat, but I would be interested in trying his burger if it really does taste meaty

Thanks, Jennifer. Maybe if you go with someone, you can try a bite to see how meat-like it is. Just a thought.
Although, he sent me the results of my lab work this afternoon.

Umm, I believe you meant Jeanne.
It is a 2:30 doctor’s appointment, so there goes my nap tomorrow.
