DR elmore, thank you for the update on DR Ginny. Are they fine otherwise? Do they have water?

I hope all is well with the good brother & family.

I spoke to Randy. He's sittign in the dark with Jo, the dogs, daughter-in-law and grandchildren. He said they lost some shingles and several trees.

As for Chuck E. Cheese's, well... Even when I was a pre-teen, there was something off-putting to me about kids, cheese, games and pitchers of beer all under one roof.

*Now, Shakey's was a different story. Of course, Shakey's didn't have Skee-Ball or Whack-A-Mole.

I once dated a girl nicknamed Whack-A-Mole.

I'm talking to DR Ginny; she said no rain, just heavy winds. She said around 700,000 homes were without power.

Jane · « **Reply #214 on:** September 14, 2008, 05:12:33 PM »

Ask her about water, and hot water. If we loose power, we loose both.

Jane · « **Reply #215 on:** September 14, 2008, 05:13:53 PM »

That is a lot of homes. Again, thanks for the update. Does she have phone service or using her cell phone?

I'm very logey all of a sudden. Can barely keep Ye Olde Eyes open.

After the current Shearing solo piano album is done, I'll either go back to The Hellfighters, or find something else to watch.

Sorry, Laura, I am afraid not. Between my friend's surgery on Thursday and my continuing eye problems - I have been self-absorbed!

It is SO hot and humid outside. I hate these September summers. Every year about this time we seem to have a last burst of really hot weather.

It was awful in DC and was supposed to get to 95 there today. I was glad to get home where it's in the 60s.

Ok. If Ann or Jed happen to give you a call, please let us know how he is doing.

I just heard from DR Ginny via her cell phone. Ike just came through the Cincinnati area and my hometown is without power. Ginny said it could last a couple of days. I need to call my brother Randy and see how they are doing.

Thanks Elmore. I heard that on my way home from Omaha and was concerned about DR Ginny and DH Richard. The radio said 70 mph winds there.

Oh... I may have mentioned this yesterday, but since I'm a bit too tired to check yesterday's posts... So, pardon me in advance should this be redundant. So...

John had been mentioning for weeks that he really wanted to go to the Museum of Modern Art. So, we added MoMA to yesterday's itinerary. However, when we got there, we started looking around the gift shop just so he could see some of the posters of some of the art in the Museum. He was getting tired by that point in the afternoon, and we just wanted to make sure that he really wanted to walk through the galleries. Well...

"Which museum is this?"
-This is MoMA, the Museum of Modern Art. The one you wanted to go to.
"But where's the one that goes up in rings like a donut?"
-What?
"The one that goes in a circle?"
-OOOHH!!! The Guggenheim! You wanted to go to the museum WITH modern art, not THE Museum of Modern Art.

-And that's when we decided it was time to start thinking about dinner.

So, Singdaw, how did you celebrate today?

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #228 on:** September 14, 2008, 06:07:37 PM »

I'm glad to hear the Ginny and Richard are ok.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #229 on:** September 14, 2008, 06:15:49 PM »

I am so glad I changed my flight today. I would be in the air right now about over Ohio. I'm tired, but feeling better. Boo has found my lap. I am very happy to be home.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #230 on:** September 14, 2008, 06:16:42 PM »

I did read the rest of The Almost Moon. It got better, but don't know that I'd recommend it

Cell.

I guess you won't be talking too often if she can't recharge it. Do you know if she will she be working tomorrow?

Watching The Hellfighters - haven't seen it since I attended a sneak preview at the Chinese theater. Didn't like it then, and don't much like it now.

You should have gone with the Rock Hudson movie.

I hope your coffee is caffeine free. Keith saved an article from Nutrition Magazine for me to share with you & MBarnum.

I googled the info in the article, a study from Duke University Medical Center, & found the following:
"Caffeine seems to impair the metabolism of carbohydrates in patients who have type 2 diabetes," said lead author James D. Lane, an associate research professor of medical psychology at Duke University Medical Center. "So it seems to make diabetes worse."

For more on the study Click Here for a similar article.

Aaack!
