Well, you've read the notes, the notes experimented with experiment three's successful experiment, and now it is time to post until the three cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: HALCYON!
-
Re late posts last night.
I happen to know Trump loathes our site - he calls it fake notes and fake posts.

Sorry to hear about Kenny Rogers. I still have the debut album of The First Edition signed to me by Kenny. His then-wife Margo was Hedy La Rue in How to Succeed with me at LACC and he hung around all the time and was super nice. And super complimentary about my songs, which he would frequently ask me to play him.

That's pretty cool, BK.

Topic of the Day: during the day, just watching TV or working on Blu-rays, or getting carry-out food to eat, or yesterday, I actually went to work. I don't know what I'll do today. I haven't heard if my family is getting together for our quasi-weekly dinner. I'll probably call my sister and find out.
-
Depending on how I feel when I get up, I might treat myself to Cheesecake Factory delivery - free - and get my favorite fafalle with roasted garlic or chicken or the spicy chicken dish I love. We shall see - or that might be a better thing for Sunday. I will say this - I'm having a LOT more variety these days - otherwise I'd just be at Jerry's Deli every day.
-
Good morning, all.

Very nice story.

Today will be my first real test of the new lifestyle. I have absolutely nothing on my plate. I will likely order dinner from a restaurant, but I have no other need to go out. Sunday, church is online and then a dance lesson. Nothing the rest of the day.
-
The library closure has been extended until mid-April.
-
I’m going to try to clean up some of the garage or do dishes, which have piled up.
-
And I am going to go back to sleep.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I decided to sleep late, so I set the alarm for 6:45. By 6:15 I was ready to get up, but I tossed about and dozed till the alarm rang.
-
DR George, I loved the video of Stella and the leaves. My little jock Stella would love that, too, I suspect.
-
This is my last round of housecleaning today, so it's mostly picking up the cats' toys and vacuuming. I need a new vacuum.
-
DR vixmom, I'm so sorry to read that you are essentially unemployed for the nonce. I understand far too well what you are going through. Apply for unemployment ASAP.
-
I wish I could apply for unemployment.
-
Annabelle's congestion seems to have broken up. She's still having occasional huge fits to clear her head of crap but the raspy breathing and runny nose seem to be over. I think the Lysine is doing great.
-
I cannot vacuum until after 9:00, but I still have kitty cleanup, making the bed, and breakfast before I do. Later I have the cat feeding session with my neighbor Judy/
-
I think my baby sister had a three-wheeled HALCYON.
-
Watching some ME Tv.....this morning.....and playing on the computer.
I will be sending the info about our season as a letter to the editor as soon as someone tells me if the regular editor is back on staff - he had a heart attack and was gone all last summer. His name was never removed from the masthead......so someone needs to let me know.
I have asked three people....we shall see if anyone responds.
-
I enjoyed reading about MR BK's food.....I SAVED THE KISHKA is the title of my new Pixar movie.....
-
Good morning, all.
-
Very sorry to hear about vixmom’s “layoff”, however temporary it may be. And may it be VERY temporary. And of course the IRA. Oy. Oy. Oy.
-
I wish I could apply for unemployment.
TESTIFY, BROTHER.

T.O.D.
Since my previous publisher is ceasing operations, I'm currently getting 4 of my older books ready to sell on Amazon on a print-on-demand and Kindle basis.
It's a boring, time consuming job, but it's keeping me busy.
-
I have to make a run to the bank soon. And then (of course) the rest of the day is mine. I’ve started a couple of cleanup and organizing projects, and those will probably be the order of the day.
-
I was most interested in reading about Experiment Three. But I’ll have to post more when I’m off this phone and can really type. The iPad is charging and I’ll be on the laptop later anyway.
-
I think that I will make some spaghetti today.....
Yesterday my niece posted on BookFace that she had some salads that had been donated to her workplace......fresh-ish.....and that everyone had taken what they wanted.....she offered some to anyone who wanted them.
I said I would take a few.....so she brought me four. It's a nice salad with different kinds of lettuce, red & green peppers, some red sliced onions and a chicken tender....with dressing in a cup on the side.
It was good. And I have three left....for this weekend.

DR Vixmom I hope you can quickly get some sort of compensation from the government and I am sorry your boss didn't get things set up in time to work from home.

That was nice of her.

Yes it was DR JANE - and I sent her home with two rolls of TP which she was surprised and happy to receive.

Spaghetti is finished and in the pot waiting to be devoured.

Back.
And ready to devour some spaghetti.

So yesterday my "quick" visit to the doctor's office took almost two hours due to really long waits in between each thing. But one nice new thing was accomplished -- I finally got a pneumonia shot.
I'd made a start on that a few years ago when it consisted of two shots, but somehow or other either the doctor's office or the pharmacy or maybe even I, DR ChasSmith, dropped the ball on getting the second of the two. So they said to take the single one now and I can forget about it. It's a one time only thing. The two-shot version might still be for a younger age group, I'm not really certain how that works. But I'm happy to be covered now.
I'm sure this made interesting reading. You're all quite welcome. I mainly thought of posting it because I can feel it in my upper arm this morning. Like a flu shot, it's just a little tender.
-
Now I have to call Walmart because I've heard not a peep about my prescription refill.
EDIT: Just heard the peep. I'll go pick it up later.

In celebration of EXPERIMENT THREE.

Good morning.
-
I think they gave me halcyon before my dental surgery a few years ago.
-
I've only eaten at Katz's once and I look forward to my eventual return.
I agree with BK that in spite of how good it is, the pastrami must remain a close second to one's first place. In BK's case, it's Langer's. Sadly, I've never eaten there, so in my case, it's the long lost Carnegie Deli on Seventh Ave. in Manhattan.
But Katz's is a little different. In spite of being so well known, it remains a neighborhood joint and eating there is an adventure. It's off the beaten track for tourists and its main attraction for them is as a filming location, notably the "I'll have what she's having" scene.
-
Here's a great shot of the interior.
Definitely click this one to enlarge.
-
The thing about their pastrami is that it's sliced thicker in comparison with most others. This results in a different mouth-feel from what many of us are used to. But it's all good. And those latkes look great. I want some. Right now.
But my memory agrees with BK about the pickles being a little weird. I don't know why that would be, but I recall being a little disappointed in the half sours, normally my absolute favorite.
-

This is good to hear.

Do you think some would help with self-quarantining?
-
I’m surprised somewhat and not surprised by Vixmom’s work news. People have time on their hands now, but they aren’t buying new. With the reduced prime rates people are calling us like crazy to refinance loans. We’ve had a 400% increase in that area this month.
-

;D. Perfect.

There was the original shot and later they came out with the second one. I am curious what you had. Were you given something that says the official name?

Where is the photo of the rye bread? Was it also good? The mini latkes looked delicious.

They didn't give me any paperwork, and I wish I could remember what they called it! I'll post it when I find out.
-
I was just sitting in Katz Deli with some friends, eating some matzoh ball soup, on March 12th
-
We were discussing the shutdown of a Broadway which had just been announced 30 minutes earlier
-
Then we all walked across the street to Van Leeweun ice cream and had vegan icecream
-
The floor is vacuumed, and now I must weed out cat toys and tchochkes. A lot of them need to be tossed.
-
The we walked down the block to the Mercury Lounge and watched two musical acts
-
Of course this was all back in ye olde days when Manhattan was open for business

John we are not closed because of lack of work, we are closed because we have been ordered to close by our Governor
-
The attorneys have submitted paperwork requesting we be considered an essential business as our clients are all considered essential businesses and they cannot effectively conduct their business without our work but we don’t know when the paperwork will be reviewed and processed or whether we’ll receive approval
-
I can’t apply for unemployment because I’m not technically unemployed.
-
Since this happened so quickly and we don’t know how long it will last the bosses don’t even know what they’re going to be able to do for us
-
So we maybe paid for the upcoming week, we may not...the bosses apologized for not being able to give us any assurances yet and promised to make some decisions and inform us as sOon as possible
-
They’re hopeful we’ll be allowed to return within the week or that they’ll be able to set up remote access to our computer systems
-

That would be wonderful. They have blocked all entrance to the main office. Even if you left something important there, you can't get back on campus right now.
-
We are in an under-10 group size lockdown. What do you all think of that? Is 10 too many? Is 2 or 3 too many?
-
Ladies and Germs, I just ate the first experimental batch of my homemade corned beef hash and eggs. OMG it’s good. And it will only get better.

Sorry, no photographic evidence.

Thanks. Your first shot was likely the 1st one I had.
First we had Pneumovax 23 and a year later Prevnar 13. I found an earlier pneumococcal vaccine called PCV7 (or Prevnar)
-

I hope you are considered essential. You certainly have a good argument for it.
-

Do you think some would help with self-quarantining?
I wouldn't care.
-
I got a pneumonia shot last week. Just in case I get this virus, it should help keep me from getting pneumonia afterwards.
-
Was that your first shot?
-
I finally climbed the Little Ladder and put away the things that needed to be put away. My neighbor Judy stopped by and we talked about taking care of the cats. I still have books to shelve before I close the place on Monday morning.
-
I'm up, I'm up - eight and a half hours of sleep.
-
I can’t apply for unemployment because I’m not technically unemployed.
I am not sure that is correct in this situation, but I don't know the rules in New York. I would go to the website (if you can get on) and check the rules that have been changed for this crisis. I know in Washington, if your business has been closed temporarily, due to corona virus, employees are eligible to apply for benefits. It is worth checking!
-
This doesn't seem like a Saturday.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
I never thought I would see the day when people would be watching reruns of old sporting events like golf and basketball.
-
How about some rebroadcasts of Broadway shows?
-
My, how things have changed in the past week!
A few weeks ago, it was only toilet paper and hand sanitizer that were unavailable. Then paper towels and some staples. I tried to do some online shopping this morning and very, very little was available. I'm not talking about Amazon, either.
-
Work-at-home vibes to Vixmom and her co-workers.
-
Surgery preparation vibes to DR Elmore.
-
And the word of the day is: HALCYON!
I think that is the opposite of what most of us are experiencing.
-
Dismayed at the news of Vixmom's homeless shelter closing, I called the shelter here that I support and asked how they're doing. They said they've had minimal disruption. Their beds are normally six feet apart and they work closely with the Health Dept. They have a clinic onsite and have had the predicable shortages there, but otherwise things haven't changed much. Sadly, I expect there will soon be even more demand for their help.
-
I'm surprised BK was able to wait long enough after his Katz delivery to even take the pictures. ;)
-
Annabelle's congestion seems to have broken up. She's still having occasional huge fits to clear her head of crap but the raspy breathing and runny nose seem to be over. I think the Lysine is doing great.
Really glad to hear this. I was hoping you'd find a solution that you could do at home and avoid the vet visits. I hope the lysine proves to be just that.
-
Yes it was DR JANE - and I sent her home with two rolls of TP which she was surprised and happy to receive.
We may turn into a barter economy.

I'd never seen such thin and lean pastrami until I saw BK's photo.

I've done laundry and will try to do some cleaning.

Hi, John.
-
The library closure has been extended until mid-April.
At my work, the Admin and the union are going to meet on Tuesday to decide if they're going to extend our library closures past March 28. I'm thinking it'll go longer, but will we still be able to get paid for all that time?? That's the question. :-\
-
I’m going to try to clean up some of the garage or do dishes, which have piled up.
I've done almost nothing this entire past week, except for watch some (but not a lot of) TV, and burn a couple of Blu-ray disks. ::) I need to clean up during this coming week. I have to go into work on Monday and maybe Tuesday, but I still have a lot of time off.
-
DR George, I loved the video of Stella and the leaves. My little jock Stella would love that, too, I suspect.
Thanks, Larry! Videos like that are always needed!
-
This is my last round of housecleaning today, so it's mostly picking up the cats' toys and vacuuming. I need a new vacuum.
What a coinkydink! My mom called me this morning, asking if I could come over and reassemble her vacuum. :o Evidently, she took some of it apart to remove stuff that got caught and she can't figure out how to put it back together. Hopefully, I can help.
-
Annabelle's congestion seems to have broken up. She's still having occasional huge fits to clear her head of crap but the raspy breathing and runny nose seem to be over. I think the Lysine is doing great.
That's great news, Larry!

That would be wonderful. They have blocked all entrance to the main office. Even if you left something important there, you can't get back on campus right now.
Fortunately, I can still get into my building if I need to. I will on Monday, but others will be there, too.

How about some rebroadcasts of Broadway shows?
BroadwayHD (https://www.broadwayhd.com/) is offering a free 7 day trial! And the Metropolitan Opera (https://www.metopera.org/user-information/nightly-met-opera-streams/) is offering free streaming of select operas for 23 hours each (1 specific opera each day), through the end of the month!
-
And now, I need to (finally) take a shower, get dressed, and hie myself to my parents' house and hopefully be able to reassemble my mom's vacuum. Pray for Rose
marymarie's Baby!
Be back later!
-
Saturday afternoon greetings! My major achievement today was an epic dust abatement in our bedroom. I hope getting rid of the dust bunnies under our bed will help our allergies. We don't want to be caught coughing and sniffling.
-
DR Vixmom, I'm so sorry to hear how things are unfolding for you.
-
PBS.org is showing some repeats for free, including the recent Little Women miniseries with Angela Lansbury. I think that one screens tomorrow.
-
Hi, John.
Hi, George.
-
I've had dinner, and I need to clean up my dishes and the cats'.
-
Tonight's a Midsomer Murders night. I'm, thinking that tomorrow I will try to watch all of Sanditon during this surgery prep
-
I just spent the last 45 minutes cleaning up some stuff in the garage. I think I got another layer straightened out. A few more layers and it might be navigable again. I have a lot of books that I was going to donate that, well, need to be donated. But I don't know how to do that now. Maybe I can drop them off at a Goodwill donation spot.

Update on DoorDash and the Cheesecake Factory - not happening. No delivery times available EVER. You go through all the trouble of filling everything out, getting the APP for your phone, choosing endless delivery times only to keep reading "not available at that time" even going five days ahead, still the same, then seeing on the APP that there are no available delivery times ever. In other words, you can't order from there unless you want to pick it up, so why bother having the option to deliver if they can't. So, I went directly to Stanley's website - two options there for delivery - via "ChowNow" or DoorDash. Guess which I chose? Placing through Chow Now it went through instantly for an ASAP delivery and according to their website that should happen within the next half hour. No more DoorDash.

I hate to say it, but that might be a good way to experience Sanditon.

I just sent an email to my book group with a suggestion we skip our meeting on March 30th. I know I won't be going. If we spread out 6 feet apart I will never hear what is being said ;D

Yes, it was fun to watch.

I guess DoorDash was busier the ChowNow, or has fewer drivers. Enjoy your dinner.

I want a piece of anniversary cheesecake.
-
Update on Stanley's: Hasn't arrived. Their driver, if I'm understanding correctly, never came back to pick up and deliver my order, even though he was supposed to. So, they're remaking it right now and hopefully it will be here by four-thirty or so, which is fine.
-
They just called and offered me a free dessert, but I didn't want that, so instead they're giving me a small starter Caesar salad, which I love. So, I love Stanley's.
-
Enjoy.
-
DR elmore did you say how you are getting to the hospital? I don't remember.
-
Got takeout from a Southern restaurant I like. The chef recognized my name and sent out his thanks with the dinner when I went to pick it up. So sad to see the beautiful dining room all empty. I don't know how many people P.J. still had working with him, but my food was brought out to the car in some nice packaging, and it stayed warm all the way home.
-
I ordered shrimp and pork belly with grits, very buttery and topped with caramelized scallions, very filling. Strawberry shortcake for dessert was very good. The appetizer, pea hummus with raw veggies, can wait until tomorrow.
-
Right now, I'm watching Harold Lloyd in Safety Last. Amazing comedy. Great scenes of California at the time, including an undeveloped Culver City. And the gags are just fantastic.

We have a pre-purchased credit card at Beaches. I feel that we are helping them by not using the card right now. I do feel bad about not tipping.
-
Some of the clips of Harold Lloyd in the extras are hysterically funny. And often emotionally satisfying. One of my favorites is a one-reeler in which the poor Lloyd wins the girl at the end. He can't afford a ring, so he pulls out a pencil and draws one on her hand.

The difference is that our homeless shelter isn’t a full time thing run by professionals. It is a temporary 1 night a week during the four coldest months of the year, run by volunteers and basically is a meal in the church hall after which the tables are put away, the temporary cots are pulled out and people sleep in the same hall.
No medical staff etc In a pandemic it would be an extremely efficient way of spreading disease further

Of course.

Better than doing dishes by hand. I know. I washed more than three racks by hand today.

I received a tempting email today.

My spaghetti was very good. I had that for lunch and early dinner.
Then I ate one of my TP salads while I was watching DIAL M FOR MURDER.
Now I am going to watch WAIT UNTIL DARK.....
-
Things are quiet around here. I have heard NOT a PEEP from anyone except Conrad Birdie Barnum ALL DAY.
-
But that's okay.
-
The meal was excellent - not quite as excellent as it is coming right out of the kitchen, but it was hot and good and the salad was great, and they included a couple of pieces of their great bread and thoughtfully two butter pats. I'm really full.
-
As to Door Dash - I'm not sure I want to try them after the stupidity of the Cheesecake Factory thing. But I have their APP now so, we'll see. Definitely eating here and light tomorrow and Monday and we'll go from there.

Maybe the trouble was actually with the Cheesecake Factory

I had two chats on the phone with my a Mom and we both had a long chat with the Vixter today

Could well be the Cheesecake Factory.

Been reading this book about the making of Chinatown. Interesting things in it but boy is the writing bad - same guy who wrote that huge Fosse book. Sam Wasson. Here he's trying to be cutesy, writing in the style of Raymond Chandler to no real purpose, and so much of it is not germane to Chinatown. I'm about eight pages from finishing.
-
But I'm still uncomfortably full, I must say.
-
And so I have said.
-
How can it only be nine-thirty?
-
Listening to some good and interesting music.
-
This cough I have had since Thanksgiving makes me paranoid these days. I am glad I had the chest x-ray.
-
Wow, our closest hospital is setting up triage tents for covid-19 patients.
-
Cooler wet weather is ahead. I hope I don't have to go to a tent.
-
I've had a cough since we did tech on Doug's show - that was eight weeks ago now. Some bad smoke from a smoke machine we were going to use but didn't got into my lungs and caused me the cough and a day and night of really sick.
-
It's pretty sporadic these days but still there, especially just before bed.
-
Don't know why that would be and also don't know why I still feel hugely full from a meal eaten at four-thirty.
-

I just elevated my bed and that helped.

Are people haineshisway.com-distancing?

I gotta tell you.

You are complaining about 176 posts??

I went to Amazon Prime tonight to find a movie to watch.
-
I got caught up watching trailers, and I never got around to watching anything.
-
One row of films was billed as, “Films we thought you would enjoy:”
They were all gay-themed films! Well, I never!

I heard on some news show today, but they expect the US coronavirus to peak in two weeks. That’s strange, because earlier I heard that they are hoping that Italy’s crisis may peak in two weeks. Hmmm.

This seems to me a very reasoned article about this madness: https://medium.com/six-four-six-nine/evidence-over-hysteria-covid-19-1b767def5894 (https://medium.com/six-four-six-nine/evidence-over-hysteria-covid-19-1b767def5894)
Interesting. When I clicked on the link, I got this kind of message:

Hi, Tom.

I watched Vice President Mince talking on TV today. It suddenly occurred to me that he is the only man in the entire world that can make me miss listening to Trump.
-
And now, I need to (finally) take a shower, get dressed, and hie myself to my parents' house and hopefully be able to reassemble my mom's vacuum. Pray for Rosemarymarie's Baby!
Be back later!
Well, it turns out that the vacuum wasn't exactly disassembled (she took one piece off but would've been able to put it back on), but just really plugged! Something got caught in the hose and we had to use a wire coat hanger and make a hook to pull out what was in there.

It took a couple of minutes of careful digging to make sure that I didn't rip the hose itself, but I managed to pull out all the dust and crap that got caught in the hose. We emptied the canister and sort of cleaned out the filters and it's all just peachy now. :)

The library closure has been extended until mid-April.
At my work, the Admin and the union are going to meet on Tuesday to decide if they're going to extend our library closures past March 28. I'm thinking it'll go longer, but will we still be able to get paid for all that time?? That's the question. :-\
I have wondered if they will be able to extend the emergency pay. Vibes they do.
Thanks, Jane, and DITTO!!

They just called and offered me a free dessert, but I didn't want that, so instead they're giving me a small starter Caesar salad, which I love. So, I love Stanley's.
Nice!

Hello, George.

I spent about two and one-half hours at the vet today with Nicky.

We have a pre-purchased credit card at Beaches. I feel that we are helping them by not using the card right now. I do feel bad about not tipping.
I have a gift card for Meconi's where I went on Thursday, that I got from Costco. I didn't use it, either. I did tipped with a $2 bill that I got from Margo. :)

Oh, no. How's he doing?

Our dishwasher was delivered and installed today
My mom bought a new washer and dryer that was (almost) delivered earlier this week. It turned out that they didn't fit in her little laundry room, so she couldn't accept the delivery. Now, she has to get a new (and smaller) set. At least the delivery people were able to take them away without much trouble.

Or maybe that a lot of people are probably trying it out...and possibly a lot of the drivers might be new, too. Just a thought.

Well, he is diabetic. Lucky we found out before I took him to the Cheesecake Factory for dessert.

I have got to work on my lines this week.

I must go and read. Good night.

Was I? I think what I was doing was being amusing, like always. We really must all keep our haineshisway.com senses of humor, really we must.

Maybe the Medium thing was fake - maybe everything being shared is fake - the very subject of today's notes.

I have got to work on my lines this week.
My vocal workshop was cancelled this week (we'll talk about next week), but I need to start learning my songs. I have two solos and a duet, so far. And who knows when we'll actually be able to perform, either. :-\

Good night, Tom.
