Ginny I had to back out of hosting my book group for May. At least it got me to read a few books. I'm still holding The Glass Castle in reserve for when I do host the meeting.

I concluded my afternoon viewing watching more of THE YEARLING which I had just begun yesterday before THUNDERBALL arrived. I will watch this now to its conclusion before putting any other DVDs in the player.

Of course, since the movie is over two hours long, I probably won't finish it today. We'll see how much I get watched after I go back down later.

Some TV news tidbits I just read on the VARIETY website:

30 ROCK has been renewed for a second season.

Among this year's winners of the George Foster Peabody Award, the most honored prize in TV, are UGLY BETTY, SCRUBS, THE OFFICE, and FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS.

Well, you certainly have a good excuse and have given plenty of notice. Hope your group is as flexible as mine, pitching in when things like this come up, even at the last minute.

So, do you have any suggestions for my group to read? We're pretty well set through August, and for September I have to come up with a book set in The Netherlands (Middfest country), but after that will need more ideas.

I have nothing special to say.

I had spaghettic carbonara for lunch. It was delish.

I am looking forward to tonight's "Lost."

The rest of this season ought to be very interesting.

Ginny-I read the book my brother suggested & loved it.....KING OF LIES by John Hurt. It will be out in paperback this month, if it hasn't happened already. Read it and let me know what you think. As much as I like the book I'm not sure about it making a great discussion.

Even if he did a perfect job, after 60 years galvanized plumbing really starts to deteriorate - the first symptom is usually reduced flow from hot water taps.

If that contractor is still living, I wonder if he and MBarnum have met!

Bye for now.

I say the first symptom of needing galvanized plumbing replaced is that the house is at least 30 years old!

Galvanized plumbing isn't the only reason for "decreased water flow at age 60."

I've had three strange phone calls...each from someone who could easily look up what they need on the internet.

"Someone" gave them "my" number and told them I was responsible. Thus, the demand is that I help them get their problem solved.

None of these calls has anything to do with me, my function or the County for whom I work.

Sigh.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #254 on:** April 04, 2007, 03:46:11 PM »

The damage being repaired isn't from the galvanized plumbing; it is from the home improvements we had done about ten years ago.

Did you fix their problems, DR Ron Pulliam?

I directed two of them to telephone numbers I easily obtained off Google....and the third is more complicated and has now involved three offices, including a Supervisor's office. Am dealing with a church that wants access to a Children's Memorial Grove (established by the supervisor) that is on park land.

The park people the lady talked to distanced themselves from having anything to do with the grove...but apparently the church has been given access through a park ranger in years past. As it turns out, access to the Grove is over an easement maintained by the park (i.e. on park land, as is the grove), so I'm totally at sea over where this will all lead.

But I'm waiting on return phone calls. Oh, yes. I'm waiting.

The third phone call matter has been resolved. The lady had gotten bum info from a park district twit...the parks work with this group every year.

The supervisor of the Park (as opposed to the County supervisor) has assured me he will contact this lady and make everything "A-OK" for her and her church.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #262 on:** April 04, 2007, 04:16:26 PM »

It's finally three o'clock.

FINALLY!

This day hasn't been TOO bad....but then, it isn't yet over.
