Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of the journey and the first music rehearsal, and now it is time for you to post until the musical cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PALILOGY!
-
4:17 in the am
-
I should be sleeping
-
But I fell asleep very early last night
-
So here I am
-
I want to hear what happened in TCBs bedroom

With the flaming surge protector that is
-
Was it a surge protector or just an extension?
-
I am glad to hear there was no fire
-
Back vibes for bk

Relaxing the actress vibes for bk

-
Congratulations on 75.000 ++ George!!
-
I decided to make the other chicken breast so I could have a little protein - it was good. But now I can't go to sleep for another thirty minutes or so, which is fine.
-
Finding a better actress vibes for MR BK.
-
Cheap piece of crap vibes for DR TCB....I just bought one of those things yesterday, maybe I won't use it after all.
-
Congrats to DR GEORGE on his millstone and thanks for the concert report.....
-
This morning I am dealing with the government on a particular matter....we shall see how things evolve.
-
I did NOT receive a nomination for the annual acting award given by our theatre for this summer.....so I will get to use my Bob Hope joke at the annual meeting when the time for the presentation is announced:
And now for the Upstage Award ceremony....
Or as it's known at my house: Passover....
-
BIrdy Barnum is singing his heart out this morning.....I think he is getting used to his new home....
-
Good morning, all.
-
Congratulations on the milestone, George.

So sorry.

Me, too.
-
Let’s finish up this page early
-
One more should do it
-
Two!
-
Off to work
-
Good morning, all.
-
I am off to help a friend on some projects, so I shall be scarce till later in the day.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I did not sleep well. I'm blaming the late dinner, wonderful as it was, but i usually eat around 5:30 and get to bed by 9:30 or 10. The faithful little Thatch stayed with me all night. Annabelle is not abandoning her Fancy Feast carton.
-
DR vixmom, the successful lightbulb replacement happened around 2:00 yesterday afternoon. I was quite relieved when it was over.
-
After I clean the litter and Annabelle and I patrol, I must make a trip to the market for a few items. Today's work is "I Believe In You." I think that leaves me "Brotherhood of Man," the incidental cues, the Pirate Dance, Bows, and Exit Music for Act Two of How To Succeed . . .
-
DR TCB, I'm very happy you and Nicky were not electrocuted! Do you need to invest in some power strips?

-
Just read that the genius young (about 30) political commentator on CNN, Harry Enten, is the nephew of Neil Sedaka.
-
Actress vibes for BK!
-
Good morning!
-
Waiting for the plumber. I have a dripping bathroom faucet.
-
Glad to hear you and Nicky are okay, TCB!
-
Also noticing the Village People had mostly been serious trained performers for whom their part in Village People was a role.
I saw David Hodo in a group photo from the "Pal Joey" in the 1970s, at Circle in the Square. (it was a couple of years before he became the construction worker in that group)
-
Wednesday morning greetings! This week has been busy so far, with both Current Events Club (Monday) and my DAR chapter (Tuesday) having their first meetings of the 2018-19 program year. There's also an AAUW meeting Saturday, but I will miss it because I'll be in Fort Wayne, IN, with my sister and niece at a papercrafting expo.
-
Fort Wayne is as interesting as it sounds....for being named in honor of Mad Anthony Wayne - it's a quiet place....
-
I guess I'm up - had a whopping four hours of sleep. Got up at eight, tried to go back to sleep an hour later - couldn't.
-
From DR TCB:
The blackout was good because I could see that the wall was not on fire.
:o
-
DR TCB what happened? Do you have electricity?
-
DR George I am glad you had fun last night.
-
Finding a better actress vibes for MR BK.
DITTO!

I hope it evolved the way you wanted it to.

BIrdy Barnum is singing his heart out this morning.....I think he is getting used to his new home....
Awww, nice.
-
My cell phone in my back pocket just sounded an alarm and vibrated. Just did it again. Did anyone else receive a Presidential Alert Test? I am now up to three alerts.
-
Four times now.

My cell phone in my back pocket just sounded an alarm and vibrated. Just did it again. Did anyone else receive a Presidential Alert Test? I am now up to three alerts.
Yes, I got it and several co-workers said that they got it, too. I tapped on the "Confirm" button and only got it once. Did you "Confirm" the alert, Jane?
-
I did not see a confirm button, must be why I have received it 5 times. I tapped the x to close it.
-
The guy finally returned today to finish the work he said he would do on Friday, and then again on Monday. He knew the test was coming and still thought he had done something to set off the smoke alarm ;D
-
What "confirm" button? It has come in 2 more times. All it ever says is "no action required".
-
What "confirm" button? It has come in 2 more times. All it ever says is "no action required".
Mine had a "Confirm" button at the bottom. Maybe you need to scroll down to see it? Just a thought. :-\

And just like that, we're on Page Three!

I beg your pardon?? :o

-

Thanks, Vixmom! It was definitely worth going to. I did see a few young teenagers their with people who I assumed were grandparents, and they all looked kind of excited to be there, so that's good. And NONE of them had cell phones out, so that's really good!
-
Congratulations on 75.000 ++ George!!
Thanks again, Vixmom!
-
Congrats to DR GEORGE on his millstone and thanks for the concert report.....
Thanks, Jrand, and you're welcome!

I'm so sorry on the non-nomination, but that was a funny joke! :))
-
Congratulations on the milestone, George.
Thanks, John!
-
I guess I'm up - had a whopping four hours of sleep. Got up at eight, tried to go back to sleep an hour later - couldn't.
I was awoken at about 8:00 this morning by jackhammering IN THE APARTMENT NEXT DOOR!! WTF?? IN the apartment?? :P
-
DR George I am glad you had fun last night.
Thanks, Jane!

Hmm, that was when I saw the x at the top. Well, if it gives me an 8th alert I will try scrolling again. Thanks.

Funny - after hearing everyone sing last night and then losing our performer, I began to think our cast only has one number at the top and one at the end where everyone gets to sing together. So, last night I began to think about this party song I have for the Christmas Past sequence - I wrote it short with a dance section - just two choruses - and I thought maybe it could use a bridge and a third chorus where everyone could sing - that's why I was up until four and I came up with the bones of a tune and structure for the bridge. So I've spent most of this morning writing it - and I like it and now we have a third chorus before the dance and it feels more complete and everyone gets to sing. I made a rough recording and sent it to our MD, and I'm hoping he can at least make a lead sheet so we can teach it tonight.

That's pretty cool, BK!
-
Keith said he tapped the "ok" on his and it stopped. I also tapped "ok" and nothing happened ::)
-
I got the alert at 2:18, as previously announced, and it just went off once and said "no action required".
So I gave it no action.
-
And that was it. How did I get so lucky ;D
-
Four times now.

Yes, I'd done the parody lyric this morning! :)
“At 2:18 p.m. today, the Trump administration is planning to send a test presidential alert.”
The Broadway shows might want to consider starting at 2:20 today, or else find a way to say “Turn off your phones; not like you don't listen every other day. Today we REALLY mean it!” :)
Tune of “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?” from BEAUTIFUL
Today at two they will seat me
At two-eighteen, you will tweet me
Today I’m at a Wednesday matinee
So could you tweet me tomorrow?
I know your tweet is essential
You’re always so Presidential.
I’m on alert, but wish you could delay
So could you tweet me tomorrow?
Yes, Donald, tweet me tomorrow!

That sounds great. From obstacles we sometimes get miracles. (was that from Touched by an Angel?)
Will you be able to get a little more sleep?
-
New song vibes for MR BK & Cast....it sounds like fun....everyone gets to sing.
-
Birdy Barnum is now grooving to Donna Summer....he listened for awhile and now is singing along to Hot Stuff....

Got two more hours of sleep - could have used another two, but things to do, places to go, people to see.
-
Thanks, George!

Good evening.

Good evening.

We are not happy with the shoddy workmanship today. The complex manager, a builder himself, kindly came and looked at it to give us his opinion. He said we should not accept it as is.
-
A Wild Fin restaurant just opened near us. TCB or George have you eaten at the one in Tacoma?

Everyone at my office got their 2:18 alarm

Only once

Great lyrics, Fred.

It's been another day of more of the same.

Doesn't BK always think that way? :)
I loved the Matt Damon line on SNL about the Justice-to-be: "a keg half-full kind of guy."
-
They said in CNN the roommates actually had a keg right in their room. Is that a normal Yale dorm feature?
-
Today I had to sit in a presentation made by a third-party group out of Chicago that does work for us. I've never been impressed with their work. And today confirmed it. At the top of their presentation was a page with the header:
FRUAD PROTECTION
What kind of business puts their best foot forward with a typo in the very first word?
-
Thanks, vixmom!
-
And that was the start of a four-hour meeting.
-
Thanks, John G! That one had a shelf life that was over at 2:18 this afternoon, but I extended it. :)
-
After work, I went to dance/exercise class where I was put through the wringer. Push-ups ain't my favorite and doing three reps just made me not want to lift my arms.
The other exercises, including scissors, made my legs burn.

It still wasn't a welcome sight. And I didn't point it out.

I'm back to watching Gunfight at the OK Corral. Dennis Hopper has shown up as bad guy ready to be shot.

But I think I need to go soak again.

Kind of amazed that someone must have done it, and no one even looked it over.
-
Do you have someone there who can shmear in Lidocaine or whatever the mentholated stuff Skip uses? It smells weird, but seems to really help for 8 or 10 hours. Probably not good for use in the office because of the smell.
-
Yes, it's called Lidocaine with menthol.
-
After work, I went to dance/exercise class where I was put through the wringer. Push-ups ain't my favorite and doing three reps just made me not want to lift my arms.

Oh wait, it's not your back. you could probably shmear it yourself.
-
Spellcheck keeps wanting to fix shmear to smear. It's a very different thing.

I have something similar and can apply it if I want, but all of those are last resort options and it's precisely because of the smell.

Spellcheck needs to learn Yiddish. It still doesn't like oy.

This morning I am dealing with the government on a particular matter....we shall see how things evolve.
Hmmm if K doesn't get confirmed will we be seeing JRand as one of the Supremes?
-
I'm out of the tub. It was good. Got about 50 pages of Faust read, which leaves less than 100 to go. Might be able to finish it this week. If work doesn't finish me off first.
-
And back to the last 20 minutes of Gunfight, which, I guess, means I have the gunfight left.
-
This is my least favorite retellings of the story, and I put the blame on Leon Uris's script.
I much prefer My Darling Clementine and Tombstone.
-
But it's hard to top Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas.
-
Where is our TCB? I hope he's nit experiencing more electrical problems
-
Good evening, Vixmom.
-
And good night, all.
-
And that was the start of a four-hour meeting.
Oh my.
-
Back from a really good second music rehearsal. Happy to say the new bridge and third chorus worked splendidly and everyone loved singing it. We ran every song save for the two our leading man in involved in, since he wasn't with us tonight. Tomorrow night, we work with our tracks. And hopefully our new actress.
-
Got an In 'N' Out cheeseburger on the way home.

Good evening.

A little penicillin should take care of it.

Hi, George.
-
Fortunately, Nick and I survived the electrical meltdown the other night.
-
In the morning, I pulled the cheap plastic piece of crap out of the outlet, dumped it in the garbage, and switched the circuit breaker back on.
-
Nothing will get plugged into that outlet until I purchase a surge protector.
-
But the lights are back on in Chateau Thomas.
