Well, you've read the notes, the notes were quasi-notes, and now it is time for you to post until the quasi-cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PERSONALIA!
-
The late night folks went to sleep early.
-
I didn't expect to be the first post after Bruce.
-
TCB I am glad Plan D was quickly initiated. Why they didn't expect the extension is baffling to me.
-
I am going to try and go back to sleep.
-
Good morning, all!

Thatch gave me a scare this morning, I think this was the first time I ever set down a bowl of food that he wasn't right there waiting. Instead, he pulled an Annabelle act and avoided me and gobbling sisters. I was worried he was sick, or worse that his heart was killing him. Five minutes later, when I got my coffee, he was eating. Big sigh of relief!
-
I hope to do laundry this morning, and I may have another phone conversation about Babes In Toyland.
-
Last night the cats and I watched Gene Tierney and Cornel Wilde in Leave Her To Heaven. There were times I thought Tierney was channeling Katharine Hepburn, but she's quite wonderful. The night before we watched The Best Years of Our Lives, another film I'd never seen before. I kept wanting to like it more than I did.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Had weird dreams. All I remember of one was somebody telling me that Pablo Picasso was there to do the background. I turned around and, sure enough, Picasso was there in his collarless blue-striped shirt creating 3D images around me.
He smiled and seemed to be enjoying himself.

Tom, I’m not able to make potato salad. I never have potatoes around. I’m not supposed to be eating them.

TOD:
Watching another Sacha Guitry film, Desire’. I’ve got two left in this box set. I’m not sure about the rest of the weekend, but Japanese Samurai flicks sound good.
-
Kitty cleanup is over and the laundry is in the washers. I'm, ready for my second cuppa coffee.
-
Sounds like everyone's morning is getting off to a good start!
I am getting older and have lost my hair, but I think I can still be cast in plays because of my sparkling PERSONALIA.
-
Good news from DR TCB about Plan D.
The BIGGEST problem for me with our latest season permutation is that I won't get to be in YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU......I have always wanted to play Kolenkhov.....but with the show I am directing rehearsing at the same time - just not possible.....
SIGH......first world problems.
-
I have yet to order food for delivery.....I cook or microwave stuff....the price gets me.....
-
We are getting temps in the 60's and 70's all weekend!
Great soon the grass will need cut.
-
Indiana Schools are now closed for the rest of the school year.
-
My friend Ric who is one year younger than I has tested positive for COVID-19.
He and Shelly his wife are now quarantined for two weeks.
They are fellow board members at PCPH and I have done many, many shows with them both. Ric is a retired school teacher and Shelly runs the Putnam County Crisis Pregnancy Center.....
So far no other personal friends of mine have been diagnosed.....
-
Following the lead of DR LAURA'S grandson, I think we should all dance Gangnum Style.

T.O.D.
No idea what we'll watch today.
Last night, on DVD, we watched THE TALL TARGET (1951) with Dick Powell.
It's a pretty good movie, inspired by an actual attempt to assassinate Lincoln BEFORE he was inaugurated.
-
Incidentally, watching the movie, I noticed my very first publicity client playing a small, un-credited role.
His name was Charles Wagenheim, and he played the telegraph clerk.
Probably Charles' best remembered role was in Alfred Hitchcock's FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT. He played the Assassin in that one
Years after I represented him, Charles was murdered by a burglar who broke into his home.

I love the windmill scene in Foreign Correspondent. Was that the scene with the assassin?

Well, here's a first, in the ongoing saga of the not-so-fresh pages.
I opened up the notes on the iPad this morning, and all was good.
A little little I went to the notes on the iPhone, and found myself on (wait for it...) EXPERIMENT ONE, March 19th.
And just now on the computer, I went to the notes and found myself on DISCOVERING A CLASSIC, March 31st.

BK is eating eggs in tortillas. This meets with my approval.
All these years I never tried doing that at home, but I finally did so a few weeks ago when I was on one of my quesadilla binges and had large flour tortillas and a few other ingredients in the house. Here's what I came up with:
I scrambled two eggs. When almost done, I added a not-too-thick, not-too-thin layer of "Mexican blend" grated cheese on top and let it begin melting. In the meantime, I'd heated two of the tortillas on a flat griddle (any large pan will do).
(They only need to be heated for a minute or so, don't burn or crust them. This just helps to keep the final result warmer and tastier. You could consider it optional.)
I transferred half the eggs & cheese to the center of each tortilla, and added a bit of diced green chiles (the cheap and easy small can variety), a few bits of diced green onion, and folded the tortillas burrito-style. Oh my god, were those delicious. Real breakfast burritos, and they only lacked: MEAT. :)
-
Note to self: MEAT.
But I really need to stock up on all of those ingredients now.
One time, in lieu of the green chiles, I just added a little salsa verde. Don't drown it, add just "enough" for flavor. Incredibly delicious. You could also go the way of a red salsa, but I liked that green so much I'm sticking with it.
-
It's funny about PEYTON PLACE. Amazingly, for the era and cinematic style in which it was made, it "misses".
I always expected something a great deal more edgy from it. Maybe the "shocking/scandalous" (oh my!) original novel didn't get translated very faithfully to the screen, or maybe the story just aged quickly. But I never read the novel, and I've never succeeded in getting through the entire movie. And I probably never saw any of the TV series.
-
Breakfast tacos are available throughout south Texas. Bacon snd egg, sausage and egg, machacado (a dried beef) and egg, refried beans and cheese, you name it. Anything you can wrap in a tortilla.
My favorites are a bone-in pork chop wrapped in a corn tortilla (messy, but beautiful) and guacamole or mashed avocado in a hot corn tortilla. On Friday, one place smokes amazing brisket, which is heavenly in a flour tortilla.
-
I have a ripped DVD of the Irene Dunn Show Boat that BK wrote about. It really is amazing. And the song additions, especially Galavantin’ Around and I Still Suits Me, are joys.

Lots of vibes!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Peyton Place the novel is a good read.....if you like that kind of thing.....which I do.
I like the movie - especially when compared to Return to Peyton Place (except for Mary Astor).....
-
I liked the first couple of seasons of the TV series....and have some of the DVD's.....but didn't stick with it for the entire five years....
The TV series never showed a rerun.....it was original episodes from beginning to end - even through the summer. In case you ever wondered.
-
DR JOHN G I am happy that JB is also enjoying the Gangnum style....it is entertaining.
-
I will at last finish up the meatloaf today.....and move onto something else.
-
DR JANE I could not decipher the wave of the hand of the man I called the police on....however I figure it's a bonus that no single finger was extended in the greeting....

3437 cases in Indiana and 102 deaths.....there are 152 cases in my county......
-
59 cases were reported in one nursing home here in San Antonio yesterday.

Hey, if you want to cook something no one should eat, here’s an idea:

Bill Withers has died. Not from the virus.
Loved his voice.

Do you ever eat sweet potatoes as a treat?

It wouldn’t be a treat. I don’t dislike them, but they’re a little too sweet for my tastes.

Very scary. Vibes your your MIL, the home in Indiana, and to your family.

I have been eating more sweet potatoes than russet. Lately I have been bad about my diet.

It's a good question, and one that I asked myself. It's not impossible, but it seems unlikely.
Main thing, though, is that in all of these past years, it was never an issue. This only started for a few of us... when was it, a few months ago? And it's hardly a life changer, it's easy enough to refresh the page - at least for me. I think a couple of people did report an issue with that. I just found today's instance really weird.

Page 3 Dance!
-
That dancing cat reminds me that last night I dreamed that Thatch was dancing. Ethan Mordden was in the dream as well.
-
I have no memory of anything else about that dream.
-
Today has brought a little more listening time of Kurt Weill music: Lady in the Dark (Ann Southern), Lost in the Stars (OBC), Der Jasager, the 1930 original 3Penny. I also discovered a live bootleg of something called Kurt Weill and Friends on Broadway. If I ever get out of these meetings, I can listen to more.

I have noticed the notes stay at the date I last opened them on that particular device. I think the most I have gone was 4 days.
-
I'm up, I'm up - nine and a half hours of sleep and interesting dreams. Got up at about one-twenty.
-
Just ordered a pizza - eight slices in the medium, so I'll see if the nice fellow who lives in the back house (where Grant's mother lived) would like three or four of the slices - since I'll probably be good with four. It won't be here for another hour.
-
I know there are a couple of packages to get, but I think I'll wait until Sunday to get them - very few folks there on Sunday.
-
Nine and a half hours of sleep sounds heavenly. I never did get back to sleep this morning.
-
I’m off work. Yay!
-
I think it’s mushroom soup for dinner.
-
Mushroom soup sounds good.
-
Really good.
-
Pizza arrived. Not bad, not the best. I got the thirteen-inch, which is eight pieces but they're pretty small pieces so I'm thinking eating eight would be like eating four normal slices.
-
Listening to music right now.
-
THE MAN WHO LOVED THATCH DANCING could be a good title.
-
Ate six of the eight little slices and gave the other two to the fellow in the back house.
-
DR George, I got your package today. Many thanks!
-
Good evening!
-
I went out for the first time since last Saturday.
-
Went to Wegmans supermarket. I go there occasionally. It's about 20 minutes from home, as opposed to 5 minutes to Giant. I was really impressed with their efforts to keep everything sanitized.
-
There's one line for checkout. It goes down one of the aisles and sometimes farther than that. When you get to the front of the line an employee tells you which register is ready.
-
I got to the register to see the cashier finishing cleaning the entire belt and surrounding areas. Customers are instructed to load the belt but stay put until the cashier calls you up (after she's finished scanning). They're really taking this situation seriously.
-
My friend in Pasadena, CA told me about a streaming services, kanopy.com. You can watch a certain number of movies a month for free. You just have to have a library card from a participating library. They have an eclectic choice of movies. There are lots of documentaries too.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
Vibes to Ric and Shelly.
-
Vibes to DR Laura's MIL and her caregivers.
-
My acupuncturist reopened her office today. She was masked and gloved while she treated me. She has to get used to the gloves while inserting the needles. The building maintenance staff installed dispensers of disinfectant wipes at several locations.
-
I'm surprised at elmore not caring for The Best Years of Our Lives, but I suppose we all like what we like.
-
I am surprised at page three.
-
I am surprised at page four.
-
She told me that her home town is just two hours from Wuhan. Her brother and mother, who is in a senior care center, still live there. Both are doing fine. She said the senior center is closed to visitors and no one's been sick.
-
I know everyone is self-isolating but you don't have to self-isolate from HERE, you know.
-
Music by Peteris Barisons, who, I believe, is a Latvian composer. His music is wunderbar.
-
I bought some herbs and will try the preventative one that they're using a lot in China.
-
I don't know from herbs.
-
Wondering if anyone actually read today's notes.
-
Wondering and pondering, which, according to their spellings, should rhyme - and yet, they do not.
-
I am really glad I gave the last two pizza slices away.
-
I am wondering and pondering what to watch this evening.
-
I did finish One Man, Two Guv'nors and it had some very funny moments but kind of fizzled by the end. The audience in London surprised me - a LOT of kids whooping and hollering - I wonder if they padded the house with those types for the taping. And for all Nicholas Hytner's director credit, all the physical comedy was directed by his associate, and that's like, I don't know, two-thirds of the play - he should have been given a co-director credit. The physical stuff IS funny and the actors are all excellent. It's free on YouTube on the NT Live page. It's long, though - two hours and forty minutes and that's with only a thirty-second break. It would have been better with a half-hour gone.
-
I stopped on the way home for some enchiladas.
-
There's one line for checkout. It goes down one of the aisles and sometimes farther than that. When you get to the front of the line an employee tells you which register is ready.
We have heard of a market that has turned the isles into one way "streets".
-
I was chatting with a friend in the Bay Area (San Francisco) yesterday. He said their freeways are deserted, too -- except that there was a back-up near one of the off-ramps. It was the off-ramp to Costco.
-
My acupuncturist reopened her office today. She was masked and gloved while she treated me. She has to get used to the gloves while inserting the needles. The building maintenance staff installed dispensers of disinfectant wipes at several locations.
I am glad for you. Did you also have to wear a mask?
I hope you feel better for the treatment.
-
But the freeways here are hardly deserted. They're not jammed but there are a LOT of cars on the 101.
-
She told me that her home town is just two hours from Wuhan. Her brother and mother, who is in a senior care center, still live there. Both are doing fine. She said the senior center is closed to visitors and no one's been sick.
Interesting & nice to hear.
-
I gotta tell you.

I'm not sure what advantage that would have. People just need to distance. Most here are doing so, but not everyone.
-
I bought some herbs and will try the preventative one that they're using a lot in China.
I hope they work.
-
I am wearing a mask at all times now. It is an amazing mask in that it looks exactly like my face. You'd never even know it was there.

The pizza delivery guy did not quite heed the instructions to leave the pizza and ring the doorbell. He rang the doorbell, I waited twenty seconds, then opened the door to find him standing there holding the box. I took it with my oven mitts - he was wearing a mask, though.
-
I like these little Lifesaves gummy things.

I wore a mask coming into the office, but not during treatment. Thanks, the treatment will help.
-
They amuse me.
-
But the freeways here are hardly deserted. They're not jammed but there are a LOT of cars on the 101.
I keep hearing stories of the 405 being deserted. Maybe these people don't use the 101.
-
The mushroom soup was excellent. Now I can play around with it. Maybe some chili flakes in it.
-
The original recipe called for 6 tablespoons of flour as a thickener. It didn't need it. And no, it isn't thick, but it is full of flavor.
-
Five!

Hi, Jeanne and Jan.
Hi, BK.
-
Hi, y'all.
-
I am fine with the idea of wearing a mask inside to avoid giving or receiving this. I will not be happy if I feel the need to wear one while walking. There are too many inconsiderate people out there not practicing social distancing. They walk 2 or 3 across while we go single file to pass, or up a lawn if there is one. They don't say thank you or make any effort to move over.
-
Today we noticed idiots walking with obviously friends trying a bit of distancing from each other, which of course made it more difficult for us. At one point I yelled to Keith in front of me that I couldn't move over any farther. He yelled back something similar. They still didn't move over.
-
I am wearing a mask at all times now. It is an amazing mask in that it looks exactly like my face. You'd never even know it was there.
My mask causes my glasses to fog up. I bet your mask doesn't do that.
-
I should state there are still polite people out there who stay on their side or change to single file, or say thank you to us.
-

I took a walk yesterday and didn't wear my mask. But I wondered if maybe I should have. As Jane said, inconsiderate people.
-
All those deserted photos, every single one of them, are taken at five or six in the morning.
-
Jeanne, why should you have worn your mask if you weren't near people? It serves NO purpose if you aren't hear others. They just need to keep fueling the panic and hysteria and the story changes every ten minutes and I have HAD it.
-
If people want to wear them, fine. But the first person who looks at me askance will RUE the day.
-
Jeanne, why should you have worn your mask if you weren't near people? It serves NO purpose if you aren't hear others. They just need to keep fueling the panic and hysteria and the story changes every ten minutes and I have HAD it.
Because there were more people on the street than I expected and they made no effort to distance, even though it would have been easy to do so.

these were the people I ran into Sunday. Now, they've closed the parks, so I won't be going back for a while.
-
I wear a mask outdoors simply because of the pollen in the air.
-
My mask is an allergy mask and designed to keep out dust and pollen. Given my allergies it does make sense to wear it at times, even though I normally don't. If you can find one that's comfortable for you then I think it's a small price to pay for a bit of protection.

-

Are you keeping proper social distance etiquette? If so, then not wearing a mask isn't an issue.
-
People are idiots - speak up, tell them to move away. But unless they're six feet from you, they're not giving you anything, mask or no mask. And answer this one: This has been going of for three weeks now - I have yet to hear a single person cough or sneeze on the occasions when I've been outside.
-
I don't go anywhere near people or I stand at a proper distance.
-
Someone just let me log on to her Netflix account. I get to watch Tiger King.
-
So Vixdad has been playing a game with his his good friend, Paul, for the past couple of hours.
-
They have been friends since their university days.
-
It’s so nice hearing them laugh and joke together
-
I’m here I’m my recliner and Vixdad is sitting in his about six feet from here
-
Paul is in Norwich
-
England
-
Ain’t Skype grand?
-
Work has been very busy
-
I have several files coming to closing
-
My Boss is still in Florida so I have several calls plus constant emails with him, plus emails and phone calls with our clients, title companies, attorneys, borrowers, etc etc
-
And we’re busy trying to figure out how to conduct these closings remotely
-
Plus I’m also playing receptionist
-
But I’m happy to be working and getting a paycheck.
-
After work today I ended up dozing off again
-

When they are exercising they breathe more heavily. Just now we went for a short walk and dropped way back from the guy that blew his nose onto the sidewalk.
If you were walking near me you would hear sneezing & coughing-lol. I keep telling Keith I will cough on the next group that gets too close.
As for the six feet, that is the point. We are lucky if they are 3 feet away. There are simply too many of those idiots to yell at everyone. Keith finally insisted I stop yelling at the bicyclist that speed by close enough to feel a breeze. If I couldn't stop them in normal times how on earth am I going to stop it now?
-
I don't go anywhere near people or I stand at a proper distance.
You obviously are not on a semi popular walking path and have fewer neighbors out. Actually the neighbors & regular walkers on the path are fine. It is everyone else that are a problem.
-
It’s so nice hearing them laugh and joke together
:)
-
Ain’t Skype grand?
We have been using Google Duo, but yes it is grand.
-
Friday evening greetings! I spent most of today at my craft desk making Easter cards. Richard and I ventured out to a drive-thru for fish sandwiches and came right home.
-
Paul is in Norwich
We spent a week there and loved it!
-
Watching "A Carol Christmas" and enjoying it very much.
-
My Boss is still in Florida so I have several calls plus constant emails with him, plus emails and phone calls with our clients, title companies, attorneys, borrowers, etc etc
Is he trapped there?
-
But I’m happy to be working and getting a paycheck.
I said that to myself several times yesterday.
-
Paul is in Norwich

I looked at photos and can see why.

So, if the next recommendation is that if you go out you must wear galoshes, a leather pantsuit, and hold a can of Lysol in front of you while doing the Texas two-step, will you do it just because you're being told to? :)
-
And then if they tell you the best way to deal with this is to jump off the nearest freeway overpass?
-
William Goldman said it best: No one knows anything.
But I know because I am the Shadow.
-
The Shadow, of course, does wear a mask, so he's safe.
-
I'm wondering if anyone read today's notes and by the lack of responses, I'd say chances are they didn't.
-
What is this page six malarkey.

We were already considering masks for the market. I didn't initially because I wanted the health care people to have masks. Since there is no way to know if I have the virus the considerate thing to do it try to prevent sharing it.

Today we watched an emotional interview with a woman who's 42 year old, very healthy husband, just died from the virus. She was speaking up to tell people to practice proper distancing and stop getting together with friends.
Even the interviewer started crying.
He was a popular school principle and there were lots of people in their cars, holding signs and driving down their street.
-
And then if they tell you the best way to deal with this is to jump off the nearest freeway overpass?
You are just being silly ;D
-
My Boss is still in Florida so I have several calls plus constant emails with him, plus emails and phone calls with our clients, title companies, attorneys, borrowers, etc etc
Is he trapped there?
Well he owns 2 homes, one here , one there. His wife stays there all winter and he travels back and forth, 3 weeks here, three weeks there...when this hit he was just due to come back, we urged him to stay put and he agreed
-
So, if the next recommendation is that if you go out you must wear galoshes, a leather pantsuit, and hold a can of Lysol in front of you while doing the Texas two-step, will you do it just because you're being told to? :)
If you sneeze or cough and don’t have a mask, you can infect things around, or you cough into your hand and then touch something...the person who comes by 5 minutes later touches what you touched, touches their nose or eye and the virus can be transmitted.
You never came within 6 feet of each other, never saw each other.
The mask is not to protect you, it’s to protect others from you.
The goggles are to keep you from touching your eyes...glasses wearers already have that as a reminder.

My mom has been having a sore throat and body aches, the past couple of days she had heaviness in her chest. My sister in law took her to be tested yesterday

I am sure he would rather be with his wife.
-
The results came in today and fortunately they were negative for corona
-
Forget the vibes, except I hope she feels better. Great news.
-
I am impressed the results came back that quickly, and that she was able to get the test.
-
I was pretty sure she was ok since she has been sequestered for nearly three weeks, and her only visitor has been me (once) and I stood in the driveway while she stood in the interior doorway of her house and we spoke through the length of her garage
-

Maybe since she’s nearly 88...I don’t know how my SIL managed it.
-
In other news my SIL’s brother-in-law is waiting the results of his test. He works in a group home and three people there tested positive, and he is showing all the symptoms including a raging fever
-
Friday evening greetings! I spent most of today at my craft desk making Easter cards. Richard and I ventured out to a drive-thru for fish sandwiches and came right home.
Paul is in Norwich
We spent a week there and loved it!
Ginny, I read your two posts together quite quickly, for a brief moment I thought you were telling us you spent a week at the drive through

That was our argument.

So BK how do you plan to do your Best of Kritzerland show? Here or on FB or some other way?

LOL! Some places were lined up so that you’d feel like it took a week, but we breezed right through.
-
Took a long bath and read a little of My Family and Other Animals. Just charming.
-
One of my MIL's caregivers has symptoms and has been tested. We haven't heard the results yet. MIL lives in The Home in Indiana.
Oh, no!
~~~Vibes of All Kinds!!~~~
-
I have a ripped DVD of the Irene Dunn Show Boat that BK wrote about. It really is amazing. And the song additions, especially Galavantin’ Around and I Still Suits Me, are joys.
I have the Criterion three-disc laserdisc set of Show Boat (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00BX33DVQ/) that includes the movies, as well as the Show Boat section from Till the Clouds Roll By. I haven't watched much of it, though. ::)
-
Well, somebody has been busy at the library. There is a new list tonight of 300 or so new ebooks and audiobooks you can check out on your devices. The new Terry McMillan, some classic Dashiell Hammett on audio, a few others.
Very nice surprise.
-
BK is eating eggs in tortillas. This meets with my approval.
All these years I never tried doing that at home, but I finally did so a few weeks ago when I was on one of my quesadilla binges and had large flour tortillas and a few other ingredients in the house. Here's what I came up with:
I scrambled two eggs. When almost done, I added a not-too-thick, not-too-thin layer of "Mexican blend" grated cheese on top and let it begin melting. In the meantime, I'd heated two of the tortillas on a flat griddle (any large pan will do).
(They only need to be heated for a minute or so, don't burn or crust them. This just helps to keep the final result warmer and tastier. You could consider it optional.)
I transferred half the eggs & cheese to the center of each tortilla, and added a bit of diced green chiles (the cheap and easy small can variety), a few bits of diced green onion, and folded the tortillas burrito-style. Oh my god, were those delicious. Real breakfast burritos, and they only lacked: MEAT. :)
A couple of days ago, I found an unopened jar of salsa con queso in my kitchen cupboard.
-
It is past its best by date, but I think it should still be okay. I think I'll open it and see.
-
I have some crunchy taco shells that are not past their best by date. They do make good substitutions for regular tortilla chips. ;)

Nice! I haven't been ordering anything for my library, yet. The e-content selector orders all the downloadable content herself against a credit that we have with OverDrive. I haven't gotten any e-mail from her asking to purchase more credit...yet.
-
Everything I want on OverDrive is coming in all at once. I don’t know what to listen to next. But I am finishing Donna Tartt’s book, The Little Friend, tonight. Not my favorite book of hers.
-
I’m fading.
-
Gratuitous post No. 200!
-
Good night, all.
-
Hey, if you want to cook something no one should eat, here’s an idea:
https://www.purewow.com/recipes/grilled-cheese-and-tomato-soup-casserole
What?? But their "new take on the classic comfort food is pretty epic (in [their] humble opinion, of course) and sure to become a dinner favorite."
You don't agree??
;D
-
Good night, John.
-
I've finally been doing some laundry today and ketchuping on Grey's Anatomy. I now need to take one load out of the washer and put it in the dryer, then get an evening snack and take my evening meds.
-
I would think twice before wearing that leather outfit. :)
-
A mask sounds complicated. But the scarf idea sounds easy.
Sadly, I think when people hear it's to protect other people, some tend to tune out, like the people on the beach in Florida.

I think the odds were in her favor. Do they have enough tests in your area? It seems she might not have qualified to be tested under some of the restrictions I have read.
Did they also test her for the flu?
-
In other news my SIL’s brother-in-law is waiting the results of his test. He works in a group home and three people there tested positive, and he is showing all the symptoms including a raging fever
Oh no. That does sound like it. Sending him get well vibes!

Does your library also have 3 days to check out a book once it becomes available or you drop back in the queue for a week?

I am a very relieved mother. Bryan now has an N95 mask and scrubs to work in that he will leave at the hospital after his shift. The hospital will clean them so he doesn't have to take anything home with him.
-
Tom, I’m not able to make potato salad. I never have potatoes around. I’m not supposed to be eating them.
Do you ever eat sweet potatoes as a treat?
It wouldn’t be a treat. I don’t dislike them, but they’re a little too sweet for my tastes.
They wouldn't be a treat for me. I just don't like 'em. ::)
-
I know there are a couple of packages to get, but I think I'll wait until Sunday to get them - very few folks there on Sunday.
Today, I received the original off-Broadway cast recording to Anything Can Happen in the Theater: The Musical World of Maury Yeston (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082JQ8S3S/). I had it sent go my home and it actually arrived!

In the same order, I also ordered the Harbinger reissue of Celebration (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084WMZ472/). I ordered both of these at the same time from Amazon, not a marketplace seller, and for the first time in forever, the two items were sent separately.
-
The Yeston package was given to the post office and it was put in my mailbox, but the Celebration delivery was attempted by UPS and is now being held at a UPS store on the west side of Olympia. I should be able to pick it up after 1:00 tomorrow, but still I have to drive over to the west side to get it. :P If I want it redelivered, it'll cost $2.00. I say :P to that.
-
DR George, I got your package today. Many thanks!
You're welcome, Larry!
-
My friend in Pasadena, CA told me about a streaming services, kanopy.com. You can watch a certain number of movies a month for free. You just have to have a library card from a participating library. They have an eclectic choice of movies. There are lots of documentaries too.
My library provides that service.
-
My acupuncturist reopened her office today. She was masked and gloved while she treated me. She has to get used to the gloves while inserting the needles. The building maintenance staff installed dispensers of disinfectant wipes at several locations.
Good!
-
DR George how many packages had you sent to work that are "missing?
-
There are 8,746 confirmed cases in my county, 1,141 just yesterday.
796 of those cases are in my township and 89 are in my little 6.2 square mile hamlet
84 deaths county wide so far
-
I love baked sweet potatoes and sweet potato fries
-
DR George how many packages had you sent to work that are "missing?
It looks like just one...so far. That first one that was supposed to be delivered that first day when no one was at work.

I'm wondering if anyone read today's notes and by the lack of responses, I'd say chances are they didn't.
I read the notes, twice. What was I suppose to respond about? Your sandwich? SHOWBOAT? PEYTON PLACE? GUN FURY? Tomorrow’s menu choices? The Topics of the Day?

Over 1000 are in the north fork (east end) affluent town of Southold. Apparently locals are blaming it on wealthy NYC residents with second homes bringing it with them out of Manhattan

Wow. In Thurston County, there are only 52 confirmed cases and no deaths. All across Washington state (https://www.doh.wa.gov/emergencies/coronavirus) as of today, there are 6,966 cases and 284 total deaths out of 82,599 total tests.

Funny all the talk regarding PEYTON PLACE. Tonight I watched a rerun of MURDER SHE WROTE that mirrors RETURN TO PEYTON PLACE.

So, if the next recommendation is that if you go out you must wear galoshes, a leather pantsuit, and hold a can of Lysol in front of you while doing the Texas two-step, will you do it just because you're being told to? :)

You never came within 6 feet of each other, never saw each other.
The mask is not to protect you, it’s to protect others from you.
The goggles are to keep you from touching your eyes...glasses wearers already have that as a reminder.
Folks, I understand. I understand that the story changes every ten minutes. As I said earlier, I personally am not near people, I have heard not a single person cough or sneeze anywhere outside at least not where I've been, and I don't touch anything with my bare hands - I have two large paper towels with me to pick things up with. You cannot catch this from breathing air. For you to get droplets anywhere on your person you have to be within six feet of someone AND they have to cough and/or sneeze and/or both in your direction. The droplets dissipate within a few minutes. If people want to wear masks then they should wear masks. And if they don't, and they are taking the suggested precautions, then no one should look askance at them. It has simply become impossible to know what's real, what's conjecture, what's supposition and that is because every day it's a new thing. A week ago, they said masks did no good. Now they're recommending them. Next week it'll be some other story. Everyone just needs to stay in and when they're out stay away from others. This, too, shall pass.
I hope your mom feels better. If she has her sense of smell and taste, she doesn't have this - they say those two senses go instantly.
-
Only about half the cast has responded to the July performance dates. I guess they will have recast, at least, a few cast members.
-
The show’s producer still wants to hold some rehearsals on Zoom.
-
So BK how do you plan to do your Best of Kritzerland show? Here or on FB or some other way?
My plan is to start the videos at around six so it's not too late on the East Coast - does that sound good? I'm going to post them on my page and so I'm recommending that beginning at six people just hang out on my page so they can see them as they come in, probably five minutes apart.
-
Guess I better write some notes. I went to make the tuna pasta salad. I pulled out the package of elbow macaroni only to notice the expiry date was last October - don't want to chance that. The funny thing is I can't remember when I bought that pasta but every time I'd make it I'd buy new pasta and never use this bag, don't know why. So, I made it with fusilli and we'll see how that tastes tomorrow.
-
PAGE NINE DANCE!!
-
I am not thrilled by that idea.
