Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of Kritzerland at Facebook, and now it is time for you to post until the retrospective cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: FELICITOUS!
-
Again, great videos! Can never have too many! ;D

Good morning, all!

The Kritzerland FB Show began as I was going to bed, and I'm sorry that I missed it live. I loved reading BK's narration and the DR comments. I think I will watch the show today and read the narration between videos.
-
I slept quite well. I had a doozy of a dream I swore I would not forget at 4:00 this morning when I woke, but I have indeed forgotten it now.
-
The corner bodega is supposed to reopen this morning, so, after my walk to the post box, I will stop by, hoping that it has.
-
I have a good deal of tidying up this morning, thanks to three frisky kitties.

Good morning, all.
-
Logging on to work
-
It’s too early.
-
As I said before I played FELICITOUS in a production of The Odd Couple in 2001.
-
I enjoyed all of the videos last night and I was able to watch four or five of the live intros.....
I switched and forth between pages......
-
The sun is shining and it will be a nice day here weather wise.

I'm running late this morning and kitty cleanup is over. I still have to tidy up the apartment. Today's project, besides watching the Kritzerland show, is to put away the DVDs before the cats kick them all over the apartment.

A seasonal joke.

Good morning, all.

A seasonal joke.
I don't remember seeing or hearing that one before. Excellent! :)

The Facebook Kritzerland show was wonderful, at nearly three hours!
The first few links I followed were from here. Then I saw one of the live introductions and realized I was missing a lot if I didn't watch those instead. So I checked back here for comments but pretty much stayed on FB. And then the ways Facebook operates drove me nuts. Maybe there are better ways I could have done this, but this was my method:
I've only ever watched single FB Live events, and had no issue with those, but the need to constantly refresh BK's page caused little things to be missed, even after I got a routine down.
(Read further at your own risk, f you really want to geek out!) :)
First, is there a setting that enables/disables the muting of volume every time you get to a video? If so, I probably have it set to mute on purpose, since FB could be hellish otherwise. So I'd have to uncheck that for an event like this because there's no way I could refresh the page for BK's latest introduction and not miss the first few seconds of audio every time.
And then, it seems that "click to expand" is what "joins" you to the event, where you can read people's comments on the right side of the screen. (Is there another way?) Is this correct? I could read people's comments, and it would announce that, for example, DR Ginny was watching, and I think that's because she's a FB friend. No other FB friends of mine showed up until near the end for the thanks and goodnights.
That view of the live video would sometimes freeze upon starting the page, or it would delay starting. I usually had to refresh that page, thereby missing even more of it. And then sometimes it would freeze right in the middle, necessitating a refresh.
Finally, once a live segment is finished, I found you can't leave the page there and just refresh that when BK comes back. That one's gone, and you have to go back to the person's regular page and start the process over again.
-
But what a great show it was, and kudos to BK for making it a real event!
That comes from real showmanship, of course, not just controlling some hardware and software. :)
Looking forward to another!
-
Thanks,,George, for your helpful HHW posting advice last night.
-
Two volumes of Kurt Weill Revisited this morning. I forgot how good some of this music is. Nell Carter’s Sing Me Not a Ballad is really jazzy and great. Mae West should have tried that one, though her voice was never that good.
-
I went to the postbox, but the corner bodega did not reopen this morning and that's bad for me. I'll take a bus to Key Foods at 86th tomorrow.
-
I liked the sequence of the Kritzerland show as well.
-
There are now 4,944 cases in Indiana - more than 500 more than yesterday - and 139 total deaths.
There are 76 cases in my county.
-
Good morning!
-
I got a second wind staying up through the Kritzerland show last night and ended up not going to bed till nearly two in the morning. And then I got up at my somewhat usual 7:30 a.m. I thought I'd want to try getting back to sleep later, but I think not. Which is fine. Plenty of things to get into today.
-
DR elmore that is already a very old joke. More than that, I settled down to read the posts hoping for a relaxing visit here and now my stomach is in a knot. I just wish we would continue to avoid political stuff here.

It wasn't a "very old" old joke to me and I thought it was funny. I'm sorry that it's upset your delicate sensibilities. That certainly wasn't my intention.
-
I'm up, I'm up - four hours of sleep - just couldn't fall back asleep at eight. So, already have been to the mail place (no one there), and then right back home. Gelson's looked busy but plenty of empty parking spaces seen. And people alone in their cars driving - with a mask on. Sorry, kids, stupid, at least to me it is. But they buy into the panic and hysteria daily. In a month or two, people will look back on this and understand how much the media and Facebook/Twitter caused much of the unnecessary crazy. Sure, if it makes you comfy wear a mask into the market. Kind of meaningless as long as you keep some distance, but I understand the comfort level. Every time I read of new cases it's never because people got it from being in a store or masked or unmasked - never. It's always from being in very close proximity to someone who has it, I mean like close, breathing on them close.
-
It was pouring rain for most of last evening and it's started up again this morning.
-
There were also many cars on the freeway - obviously not rush hour traffic or anything, but surprising in that exactly where are these people going?
-
Took a short walk at lunch. As long as there’s no rain, I am going to try to make a habit of it.
-
I've been watching last night's Kritzerland spectracular, and I'm taking a l;unch break.
-
This afternoon is creeping along on tortoise shells.
-
I'm going to upload Levi! to Vimeo or YouTube (private) and keep it there for only two days for streaming. So, I'll post the link when I get it done.
-
Well, certainly not Vimeo - you're allowed a whopping 5GB a post. Needless to say, Levi is 160GB. So, YouTube it is but I have to figure out the privacy thing there.
-
Looking forward to that.

Honor Blackman of James Bond fame and The Avengers has died.

I appreciate that. As Bruce complains, I feel as if facebook is overwhelming with this stuff and I miss being free of it here.

LOL, we must be reading different news. The majority of new cases I read about have no idea where they got it and many were practicing basic social distancing.
-
I am wearing the mask because of my cough. I don't think it protects me. Keith is adamant I wear something. Today we did our stressful trip to the market. We split up now to reduce our time there. I wipe everything I pick up with a sanitizer wipe before putting it into the basket that was also wiped. I doubt I do a great job so everything is wiped again at home.
-

For drives to get out of the house ;)

Gosh, she was 94 :o
-
BK, what a wonderful show! There were so many laughs and so many beautiful moments. I also appreciated seeing so many talents I didn't know. I was a great way to spend an afternoon.
-
Here's a joke.
What did the Zero say to the Eight?
Nice belt.
-
Hahahahahaha.

On the freeway? I don't think so.

elmore, glad you had fun. If we have to cancel May, and I'm thinking that's unfortunately inevitable with all the BS that's going around, I may get an expert to help and we may do a livestream brand new Kritzerland show.

Do most cities have people with their faces or hands covered? I am not going into stores. But in Canada (at least where i am) they have said to keep the masks for the medical professionals. They wash the grocery carts before each person uses them. You wash your hands before going in the store. And you stay 6 feet away from those around you.

Here only one person per family is allowed in the store at once. No couples. No kids.
They say if you aren't feeling well to wear a mask. But it's not really protecting you as you mentioned. it's protecting others.
-
The Center for Disease Control out of Atlanta has now said to wear a mask if you’re around people.
-
I think it’s for their protection as well as your own. We don’t know who is infected, who’s a carrier and who’s vulnerable.
-
I’m in my last meeting of the day. It’s been a good, almost normal day.

RIP - Zev Buffman, producer, 89
I don't know how far and wide he was known, but for those of us growing up in South Florida in the 1960s and 1970s, his name was synonymous with the Coconut Grove Playhouse in Miami and the Parker Playhouse in Fort Lauderdale. These were were our temples.
-
Thinking about it, his name and fame were right up there with conductor Emerson Buckley. For this teen (I'm still a teen, right?), those two were at the pinnacle of cultural life -- the classical music and Broadway touring worlds -- in South Florida in those years.
-
Let's move on ...

I'm up from a nap.

I think I'm going to go harvest some loquats. The tree is looking really full this year.

Does any other DR remember this.....it's from 1998 or so.....I didn't even know it existed.....I certainly didn't watch it.....it seems to have disappeared.

Very vaguely, JRand. I'm sure it wasn't that scandalous. Probably didn't even go into her Ethel Merman fixation.

Back in the 1980s, reading the obituaries was considered the gay man's version of reading the sports page.
Now that there are no sports, what's the new equivalent?

Why were you on the freeway ;)

Most of the masks are homemade or cheap ones the professionals wouldn't use.
-
The reasoning to wear a mask now is that you are contagious before feeling sick. If you wait until you have symptoms to wear a mask you may have all ready shared the virus.

Hello, everyone.
-
I had no idea the KL show was live last night. That must have only been on FB. I was here, Bruce, and watched as much as I could until I had to crash. My favorite, I think, was Adrienne Stiefel doing "Have I Stayed Too Long At the Fair?" I'd seen the clip before. It really is perfection.
-
Re masks:
I wear one now to protect myself and others. It's not always possible to stay 6 ft away. For example, last week I was at Trader Joe's. TJ's has been in the forefront of allowing only a few people in the store at one time, giving you hand sanitizer as you go into the store, and marking off six-foot intervals on the waiting area. But, despite all that, I was in the prepared foods section, deciding what to buy, when suddenly I was aware of a man standing RIGHT next to me, very close. I was shocked. We've only been distancing for a few weeks, but it's become second nature. Then, I heard another man, RIGHT behind me, talking to man #1. They were speaking a language I didn't recognize. Neither wore masks. Neither made any attempt at distancing. I grabbed my food and left. Even pre-Covid I think I would have been uncomfortable with such proximity.
-
As Jane has mentioned, some people are very inconsiderate. Most people I've encountered are very aware and do their best to distance, but there are exceptions.
-
When I watch a movie now I find myself saying, "No, no. Distance!" Or, "We can't do that any more."
-
Here's a joke.
What did the Zero say to the Eight?
Nice belt.
I liked that.
-
Fell asleep for over an hour. Ate Wacky Noodles and the mini-pazookie. So, that's the food for the day and evening. Watched a movie.
-
Stay safe and well, everyone.
TTFN.
-
Zev and Stan Seiden were regular producers here in LA - tons of shows at theaters like the Ivar and the Las Palmas.
-
So, do you all know about this ridiculous crap known as Quibi that just launched? It's stuff you watch on your phone in quick bites, six to ten minutes. I heard about this a year go because David Wechter's son sold a series to them or a movie in chapters or some such silliness. Because the attention span of people these days isn't short enough, the brainiac known as Jeffrey Katzenberg wants to make it even shorter. It's gotten pretty bad reviews for the content and also the irony of launching something you watch on your phone (you can't watch it on other devices) during a stay at home.
-
The Levi video has been uploading to Dropbox, which is the only way I can share it, for four hours and it's not even close to being finished. I suspect it will take until tomorrow.
-
Why are we on page three when everyone is staying at home social distancing.
-
That is the question everyone is asking.
-
When I watch a movie now I find myself saying, "No, no. Distance!" Or, "We can't do that any more."
;D I am familiar with that reaction.
-
After a hectic time shopping this morning we were pleasantly surprised to have a relaxing walk in the afternoon. Most of the people out today were regulars and considerate.
-
We were on a sidewalk and saw a couple coming towards us from a good distance away. To avoid them we took a path down to benches overlooking the river. As we turned to head back, figuring the couple had continued on, we noticed them coming towards us again.
We then realized it was our friends in our building heading to visit with us :)
We had a nice chat while practicing social distancing and away from any walkers that might want to pass.
-
I tried going for a walk earlier. I would like to finish my audiobook tonight and figured I'd be able to do that on a walk. Well, no. I rounded the corner and a group of six or eight people with no gloves, no face masks were headed straight at me. I returned home and listened while I cleaned up some more in the garage.
-
I have many stacks of books that need boxes so I can get rid of them one of these days. I've decided to get rid of most of the wine books and a great many food histories. I have a great many more to cull through.
I did manage to clean out what I needed to from the freezer. I'm left with a turkey, some bacon, a pork tenderloin, a bottle of aquavit and ice cream bars.
-
Now enjoying a Greek salad for dinner. So fresh, so good.
-
Four!
-
Monday evening greetings! It's been a very quiet day here. We both spent a lot of time reading on our sunny front porch and I helped my friend Sharon get started on Google Hangouts. We may be using that for our book group meeting next week.

Sounds like a good solution.
-
I'm watching Stagecoach, which I started the other night and never got around to finishing. The fight at the end is still exciting.
-
There are hours and hours of extras on this disc, including an interview, of course, with Peter Bogdanovich. I will watch the interview with John Ford himself.
-
Where in tarnation IS everyone?
-
Finished with my viewing.
-
Now listening to music - going through all the symphonies of David Diamond. The first four are really to my liking. Not really melodic, but tonal and very American sounding.
-
Levi is still uploading.
-
So, what two days will Levi be available?
-
Not that I have a lot of pressing engagements.
-
Listening to Lady in the Dark before going to bed.
-
I will have to finish it in the morning.
-
It's bed time.
-
Good night, all.
-
If it's done by morning, probably Wednesday and Thursday so that I have time to let folks know and make sure I have all the settings right so it can't be downloaded.
-
Good evening.
-
Today felt like a normal day at the office. The interruptions were interrupting my interruptions. I did manage to get a couple things done that needed to be done. Which is a good thing
-
I didn't finish the brief I worked on for about 4 1/2 hours yesterday, but it isn't due until Saturday so I have time to spare
-
I must say this is the first day since I've been working at home that it really did feel normal. I'm still learning the process for video hearings and other changes in the time of COVID, but so is everyone else so that's fine
-
Our state isn't going to have a mandatory shelter in place or stay home order. Almost anywhere you would want to go is shut down and our Governor says 90% of the jobs here are essential to the food chain so they can stay open. The sad thing is it's the restaurants and small businesses that are getting hurt the most
-
Well, and crime is down which does impact my business, lol
-
Looking forward to watching Levi!
-
I really enjoyed the show last night, BK.
-
I was wondering if a facebook watch party makes it so everyone can talk to each other and see each other. I've never tried it, has anyone else?
-
Really trying to page 5
-
Let's see......I backed into my neighbor's girlfriend's car the other day. Her damage was enough to report it to insurance. I don't have a deductible on hers, but on mine there is a $500 ded. The estimate from the photo thingy from the company was absurd. The paint is cracked and chipped on my bumper and the estimate is over $1000. They say they have to replace things that aren't even broken. I've been watching Youtube videos and am thinking about repairing it myself. It's quite a process, but if I can take a beat up old farm table and make it look really nice, I should be able to fix the paint on a bumper. It would save me $500....well probably closer to $400 after buying all the supplies
-
I don't think the insurance adjuster was used to people telling him that they don't understand why they want to replace this or that when the estimate is twice the deductible. He got quite flustered when I asked why they were replacing the cover on the spare tire when the cover had 0 damage and isn't even connected to the bumper. He tried to tell me the parts come together that way....lol, one visit to a parts site online told me that's not true
-
If my car was brand new, I wouldn't be so picky, but it's 8 years old and paid for. It's like they had to add things on to make it enough over the deductible that I'd say, "Oh yes, I'll go to your partner body shop". Well, I can sand, I can use putty, I can prime, paint and clear coat.....and if I mess it up....I can go get it fixed. It's a challenge and what else am I doing now days.
-
Are we there yet?
-
YEAH!
-
I've really enjoyed all the different live from their living room performances on Facebook lately. Most of them have really brightened my day
-
I watched Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat last Friday. I guess there will be a full length Broadway show every Friday - not sure if all are ALW but they are only up for 48 hours, much like what BK is planning with Levi!
-
I am discovering that people act like I'm not working when then call and I'm working at home. It's like "you're home so we can chat" which of course I do then I'm totally distracted.
-
Better get some sleep Boo is calling me. Night
-
I was interested in the Facebook Watch Party but didn't have enough time to research and see if it would work
-
And I do feel really bad for restaurants, some of which will probably never reopen. How can they sustain paying pricey rent without doing dine-in business.
-

I rounded the corner and a group of six or eight people with no gloves, no face masks were headed straight at me. I returned home and listened while I cleaned up some more in the garage.
Of course they weren't planning on moving for you >:(
Why would you expect them to wear gloves outside?
-

That must be a good feeling.

The coffee place we often walk to is struggling. The owner is very nice and I would hate for her to lose everything. It didn't help that someone recently broke in, did damage, and emptied her cash register.
-
I just don't see how, for example, a place like Hugo's can weather this for too long - I'm sure they get some take-out orders but that can't sustain them. But it's the smaller jernts - how do they get through this awfulness?
-
Thanks,,George, for your helpful HHW posting advice last night.
Glad I could help. :)
-
Our governor cancelled all school buildings closed through the rest of this school year. There will still be online schooling for all K thru 12 grade.
-
They just interviewed a woman whose daughter was going to graduate this year from Tacoma’s High School for the Performing Arts. She said they have already paid for the caps and gowns, school rings, prom dresses, etc. Now they will have no use for any of it. Her family from all over the country had already bought tickets to fly in for the celebration.
-
Very sad. You don’t think about all of those things.

The last time I went to Costco, they were just wiping down the handles of each cart, not the whole cart...at least, not that I could tell. I don't know what any other store is doing with their carts or baskets.

I know. I go to several local restaurants and have been going to hopefully give my financial support, even if it's one meal at a time. :-\
-
DR Cilla good luck with the car repairs.
Ditto!!

So, this morning, I got an Amazon notice that the package that wasn't delivered to my work a couple of weeks ago because my building closed (but also wasn't returned to Amazon) was delivered!
-
However, I didn't know if it meant that it was actually delivered to my work or just to the post office to be held until my building opens.
-
Shortly after I got that message, the Collections Services manager from my work called with questions about receiving book in our computer system. She was there doing some work and wanted some help.
-
I answered her questions as best as I could, and then asked her if I could stop by to see if there was a package for me. She said sure.

Since I was going out to go to my sister's and then pick up another package on the west side of Olympia and then go to my parents' anyway, I didn't have to make a special trip outside, just a very close side trip.
-
The late package was actually there at my work! It was the new blank Blu-ray discs that I needed, so I was very happy! :D
-
But also there were three, count 'em, THREE other personal packages that I've been waiting for (one even from England) had been delivered today, too!!
-
Evidently, the mail clerk will be coming in three days a week in the mornings so that packages and shipments of books purchased for the library can be delivered. Cool!
-
After I got my four packages, I went to my sister's place and she gave me some rubber gloves and some face masks that she had, and some Girl Scout cookies. Then, I went to the west side and got my FIFTH package of the day and headed to my parents' place.

There, I helped my mom organize their backyard shed a bit, helped my dad with his headphones (for the umpteenth time), mowed both sides of their front lawn (fortunately, it's kind of small), ate spaghetti with turkey meat sauce, and won our game of Phase 10!

And now, I'm home watching TV. :)
