Well, you've read the notes, the notes zoned, and now it is time for you to post until the zoned cows come home.

And the word of the day is: MERITORIOUS!
-
Father's Day greetings! We're up early for Fr. Richard to conduct the service at Christ the King in Dayton. This is his 3rd different church in as many weeks...
-
Good morning, all.
-
And a Happy Father's Day to those of you who know who you are!
-
And the word of the day is: MERITORIOUS!
But condemned to die is he,
Wretched meritorious B.

Good morning to all

Good morning!

Happy Father's Day!

Thanks for letting me know, DR ChasSmith. Hope there will be a get-together another time I'm here.
-
Yesterday was quite a day.
-
Exactly 50 years ago "Hello, Dolly!" was filmed along the Hudson River. There's a several-month celebration in a couple of the towns involved.
-
Yesterday, in Garrison, NY, the "Put on Your Sunday Clothes" number was recreated with special guest star Tommy Tune, who played Ambrose in the movie. It was a lot of fun! I too the train from Grand Central Station with a couple of friends.
-
Before the Parade we went to Cold Spring, which is one stop on the train before Garrison. The Putnam County History Museum has an exhibit devoted to the movie and has the outfit Ms. Streisand wore in the number.
-
Christopher Radko, who is famous for designing ornaments, was behind the celebration. He lives in that area (he actually moved there because of his love for the movie). He went to great lengths to locate the dress and finally located it in Barcelona, Spain. The owner agreed to rent it to the museum for a few months.
-
There were other interesting artifacts, such as a listings of the salaries of the actors, information about homes that were rented for the shooting, newspaper clippings, programs in foreign languages. They also had the outfits of several of the other characters.
-
It was quite an enjoyable day. The ride along the Hudson is really beautiful.
-
TCB==you did a heroic job on the postings last night!
-
Good morning, all!
-
I got up thinking today was Monday, fed the cats at 6:45, turned on the news, realized it wasn't Monday, and went back to bed.
-
Transfer Vibes to to the nephew of DR TCB!

Your descriptions were enjoyable too.

DR KevinH, your day yesterday sounds like a much happier day than mine! My friend Joseph Molnar was there as well/

So here's the latest Macbeth family insult, my niece:

Yes, DR elmore. It was lots of fun. I'm so sorry about your friends.

I especially like this series of lies:
“Emily is an Ohio transplant who came from nothing and willed herself to great success to become an attorney, a part-time party-planer, a wife and a mom.”
A lot of bullshit there:
1. her mother's family was wealthy, one of Middletown's "Great 400," and by 1976 or so, when she was born, my family was doing quite well with my dad's company.
2. the only true white trash in her family is her stepmother Lady M.
3. some Bravo PR person cannot spell "planner."
My last contact with Emily was when I got a call from Macbeth asking me to help her out; she'd come to NYC on some cockamamie "large women" modeling scheme, had to leave her place she was staying, and would I help her? Well, she'd been here for some time and I never knew it since she did not contact me and when I called her to see what I could do to help, she never returned my calls. She returned to Ohio at some point and went into law.
-
Randy and I wait to see how soon Lady M tries to wedge her way into the series.
-
I have to go over to Holy Trinity and light some candles.
-
They just make the shit up, don’t they.
And the masses who watch this stuff eat it right out of their hands.
-
Where is our vixmom?
I hope things are okay in vixland and that vixdad is enjoying a nice Fathers Day.
-
I don’t think I ever listened to the Modern Jazz Quartet. And I never knew about their Swingle Singers collaboration. Just browsed some of their album covers on eBay. Nice stuff.
BK, did you ever listen to the Porgy and Bess album?
-
I hate all the HOUSEWIVES shows....and I've only seen parts of a few episodes....but if you watch anything on Bravo, you are bombarded with the promos....
As DR CHAS SMITH said....their fans love it. I hate that kind of reality show that makes "celebrities" out of idiots....Jersey Shore, the Kardashians, and all of that kind.....
-
Yes DR FJL, I think that was just another angle on the same dancing....
-
ANNIE est mort! And now on to The Mousetrap! There were lots of hugs and tears from the orphans last night who just wanted it to go on forever.....for a moment there I thought it would....
Here is a photo of the moment of our final curtain call just before the lights at last went out on ANNIE.....I am on SR next to Grace who is wearing green - with mini me standing in front of me...

I bought Todd Fisher's book and the new R/H book.....I don't know when I will have time to read them....along with the Leonardo da Vinci bio.....but winter is coming!
-
Happy Dad's Day!

Our pit.....is on the left of the photo ABOVE the audience......

So here's the latest Macbeth family insult, my niece:
https://www.journal-news.com/news/bravo-newest-housewife-butler-county-native/9GBgARYOgQUVHlbil19fLO/
Oh, my, I remember when she was born!
-

Oh, my, I remember when she was born!
Right after "Charlie Brown."
-
I heard she came from nothing.....
-
A Very Happy Father's Day to all you fathers of all kinds!
-
And now for something completely different...my cat just threw up. :P
-
Just had to share. ::)
;)
-
I'm up, I'm up - ten hours of needed sleep. A bit dry and congested, but hopefully that will go away soon.
-
ChasSmith, if you're talking about the Modern Jazz Quartet's take on Porgy and Bess, yes, listened to it yesterday - it's my favorite cover of that score - just beautifully done.
-
Well, the Kathy Griffin show last night was fantastic. It was just Kathy on stage for almost three hours in a non-stop story telling extravaganza! No opening act, no intermission, just her standing at a microphone with a cup of water and an extra bottle of water on a stool next to her, talking.
-
She mainly talked about "the picture" and what happened to her, and she made it all very funny and scary at the same time. She also had some stories that weren't directly related to her main topic, but it was all fun and I'm glad I went!
-
So, here's where I was sitting:
-
And here's a view of the theater:
-
And here's one of her pre-show slide projections:
-
Then I came home and went to sleep.
-
Now, I need to get ready to leave and go back to my parents' house. Part of my mom's birthday present was helping her cut back some overgrown plantlife in her back yard a couple of weeks ago. The other part is to mow their lawns (it's in three separate sections). It shouldn't take too long, but it's going to be warm today.
Be back later!

Oh my.
-
Nice pics.
-
Having internet problems and company is arriving soon
Happy Fathers Day
-
And as if the universe hasn’t sufficiently had its way with me recently, I turned the AC on this afternoon to find all the components seemingly running but not producing cold air.
-
Message left with the folks where I have maintenance contracts. Hope they aren’t so swamped that they can’t get over here tomorrow.
-
Good luck for a quick A/C fix. Since we have company arriving very soon Keith turned ours on and it is blowing too cold on me at my desk.
-
The FD phone calls were very well timed. Bryan called before going to sleep for the day, minutes before I was going to take a shower. Craig called shortly after I got out.
We then did the errands we had to postpone yesterday.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
Happy Father's Day!
-

Do you find that problems can be contagious?
Vibes for much better house karma!
-
I used to listen to the MJQ a lot in the 1970s. Really enjoyed them. I didn't know they had a Porgy and Bess album. I'll have to look into that.
-
Continued vibes to BK for a strong voice.
-
TTFN.

Yes, really, I do.
-
Picked up a couple of packages and got some enchiladas from Gelson's hot food bar, came home, ate that all up, and am listening to a couple of classic Wes Montgomery albums before moving on to more Delius. I do feel a little less congested now and I'm just trying not to clear my throat at all today, nor am I really talking. Later I will listen to all the tracks and just sort of mime going through them, just for timing purposes.
-
The Wes albums are just amazing - his work with Don Sebesky being my favorite - including Bumpin', A Day in the Life, Road Song, and Down Here on the Ground, all amazing albums. He did two with Claus Ogerman - Willow Weep for Me and Tequila - and while I really like both, there was just some crazy magic that happened with Sebesky that didn't with Claus, which is interesting.
-
Voice vibes for MR BK.
-
Just reading up on Wes Montgomery - shows how in the dark I am about some stuff - I had no idea when he died or how young he was. I discovered him with his 1968 album Down Here on the Ground - I was working at Sight and Sound Records when it came out (just before my then-wife and I went to NY) and I totally fell in love with that album and got Road Song and A Day in the Life, both released just prior to Down Here on the Ground, soon after. What I did not know although it should have become obvious to me if I'm just opened my eyes, is that there were no more albums after Down Here on the Ground, because he died that year at the age of forty-five.
-
It is 97 degrees here....so even with the heat pump/air on, it's still warm in the house......
Unless you go outside. The coldest room in the house in the hallway bathroom, so if I get too hot, I go stand in there for a few minutes.
-
A discovery like that is a shock Mr BK.
After Allison Hayes stopped answering my fan mail, I waited almost a year....finally wrote again and got a letter from her bank telling me that she had shuffled off this mortal coil.....
-

That's terrible!

Good afternoon / evening.

Thank you, Kevin, it was nice of you to notice

Which one is Warbucks?
-
Well, my parents' front and back lawns are mowed. There are three sections, two in the front and one in the back, and they're all fairly small. It took me all of a half hour to mow it and empty the grass catcher after each section.
-
I then came to my sister's house and put together the new picnic table that I bought her last year. I didn't realize that there were a LOT of parts. :-\ That took more than an hour to put together.
-
I'll assemble the two benches at another time. My sister said that she won't mind. She got tired just watching me.
-
Her boyfriend Larry is going to the Fish Brewing Pub & Eatery (https://www.fishbrewing.com/fish-brewing-pub-eatery). My sister and niece have never heard of the Impossible Burger that Well 80 has, but this place has what they call the Beyond Burger, which sounds like the same thing:
Plant based burger that looks and tastes like beef, served on a toasted roll with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, Hodgson's stone ground mustard and pickles.
-
That's what I had ordered and they can try it.
-
Hi, Tom.
-
Good afternoon, all.
-
Kathy G (no relation) show sounds great, George.
-
Fly out tonight.
-
Here's my Beyond Burger. I doesn't look the same as the Impossible Burger, but it doesn't taste bad.
-
I almost want to watch that Housewives show just to see DR Elmore's niece. The only one I watch is Beverly Hills. And I only started watching when Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson came on.
-
Kathy G (no relation) show sounds great, George.
It was!
-
The four of us celebrated Father’s Day with a steak dinner here at home. Bacon-wrapped filets, baked potatoes, and peas. Rob and Mary Linda brought a nice bottle of Pinot Noir. There’s apple pie for dessert, but we’re waiting a bit for that.
-
Listening to Delius as conducted by Beecham - the first two CDs are all the stereo recordings he did, the rest are mono. The stereo stuff is fantastic. Haven't gotten to the mono yet, but Beecham is considered the be all and end all of Delius. Feeling very pastoral and relaxed right now, which is what I need. I have been VERY good all day today in terms of throat clearing and phlegm has not been bad save for a bit this morning.
-
Kind of a Delius Father's Day. This Beecham set is kind of astonishing - Warner Classics, seven CDs, eighteen bucks. You do the math.
-
Well, this is my last day in NYC. I had lunch with my friend Angelo. I wanted to see Three Tall Women, but it was sold out. Angela told me he has had luck with StubHub so I got the app. The price went down close to showtime and I thought I had purchased a ticket but it didn't go through. It was about 2:55 and I ran down to the Shubert and got a ticket for Hello, Dolly. I enjoyed Bernadette Peters's take on the role and the new Barnaby, Charlie Stemp, is really good. They gave him a little more dancing to do than the previous actor.
-
Does anyone know this delightful Delius opera, A Village Romeo and Juliet?
-

I don't. Is it really delightful?
-
It is. Apparently someone made a film of the opera not too long ago - I think I'll buy it - there are several CDs available.
-
I then came to my sister's house and put together the new picnic table that I bought her last year. I didn't realize that there were a LOT of parts. :-\ That took more than an hour to put together.
Here's a picture of the picnic table. It's upside down because the endcaps of the legs are glued on and it needs time to dry.
-

There are DVDs for as little as $79.99! :o
-
There are used VHS copies for only $10.00.

Gratuitous Post #100!

Amazon has one jerk trying to get eighty bucks. I found it on eBay for fifteen and free shipping.

You must've gotten the last one. The only ones that found were $69.69 and $106.49. :o

Made to the airport. They make flying no fun these days.
-
Page four? Really?
-
Made to the airport. They make flying no fun these days.
So true. Have an easy flight home.
-
I have my computer back and no time to use it.
-
We had a nice time this evening visiting with our friends. The wife was one of my bridesmaids. We first met in Jr. High
-
Well, since I posted last, my throat has started to act up - it does seem to get worse later at night. Most annoying. I'm trying my damndest not to clear my throat but it's getting really hard.
-
Darn.
-
'night
-
Good evening.
-
Damn! I can’t get WIFI working tonight.
-
Two posts in an hour!
-
Damn!
-
Too slow.
-

Why don’t you buy a VHS for $10.00, make DVDs, and sell them for $79.99!
-
Did anyone else watch MAN IN AN ORANGE SHIRT tonight on Masterpiece Theatre?
-
It was glorious!!
-
I can’t post.

I thought about getting it and making my own DVD, but it's probably copy-guarded.
-

I didn't know about it, but saw it when I turned on my TV at about 9:15 (it started at 9:00), and then set my DVR to record the rebroadcast.
-
It was glorious!!
Good! I'm glad that it's being rebroadcast, then!
-
Tom, did you hear about this?? Armed bystander kills gunman at Tumwater Walmart (https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/armed-bystander-kills-gunman-at-tumwater-walmart/281-565164739)! :o
-
Both my sister and I live less than two miles from the Tumwater Walmart, and this was happening while I was at my sister's this afternoon!
-
For those interested in the Village Romeo and Juliet thing, it's on YouTube in its entirety.
