I have arisen after a very good night's sleep of nine count them nine hours.  I shall not be jogging today.

Now go get some breakfast!  Your body hasn't had any food in at least nine hours.  ;)

One of the things I love/loved/miss about Richmond is WCVE, their local PBS, "IdeaStations" affiliate.  They just have such a great variety of programming, and they were responsible for many a lazy morning sitting in bed listening to the radio.  -Such as this morning.

This weekend's "This American Life" episode, "How to Win Friends and Influence People", was a rebroadcast from a show back in 2001.  However, the four "acts" are still amazingly relevant.

Acts Three and Four are loosely based on "Superman", and I suspect that more than a few DRs would appreciate the sentiment (Act Three) and the humor (Act Four) of them.

This American Life: 198: How to Win Friends and Influence People

*Their "Pu-Pu Player" window will pop up and start downloading/streaming the show - after you click on "Full Episode" of course.  Act One is a David Sedaris "essay", so... :)  -But if you wish to fast forward, just wait for the program to load fully, then click away at the time bar.  -You can guesstimate where things start according to the timings given for each story/act.

Still congested, but hoping the rest will do me good.  I'm definitely going to have chicken soup a little later.

Does anybody @ HHW know how to get in touch with SCOTT ELLIS via e-mail??

Uncle Jo Jo- Is This Possible?

Perhaps DR Jose can get it from Mr Kander for you.

Actually, I think it is.  I might even have it here on my computer.  Give me a couple of minutes (hours) to look it up.

THANKS IN ADVANCE,,,GOOD MARIMBAS TO YOUR MOM

Sunday afternoon greetings!  We are still in Carrollton, GA, relaxing after a wonderful wedding day yesterday.  My cousin and his bride are so happy and everything went beautifully.  This morning they hosted a brunch at Historic Banning Mills.  We will be here until tomorrow morning, when we'll drive back to Ohio.

Yesterday, my friend Stan was getting packed up to return to the rehab center from the hospital.  Before he left, the hospital ordered another CP Scan on the head injury he received when he fell out of bed in the ICU.  They found that there was bleeding on the brain, and they rushed him back into surgery.  They ended up putting two holes in his skull to aid in the draining of the blood.

DR TCB, what terrible news! I hope he will be okay now.

DR Ginny, when does the return drive begin?

I decided to do my weekly weigh - and was rather surprised and delighted to find I dropped three and a half pounds this week - for an official total of 31 1/2 pounds.  I am now in a new number, which makes me very happy indeed.  This is the first time I've been in my 160s in over eight years.

And the new Kritzerland limited edition CD is Bernard Herrmann's A Christmas Carol and A Child Is Born.  These were both TV specials in the mid-1950s.  Both have either narration and/or dialogue and some sound effects - both have songs by Herrmann as well as wonderful underscore by him, as well.  The release is definitely archival in nature - A Child Is Born only came out on a promo 10" record, one of the most collectible of all time.  A Christmas Carol comes from acetates made at the time of the broadcast - many years ago I found a reel-to-reel tape made directly from those acetates and have just sat on it for years, until I finally unearthed it several months ago.  The mastering engineer has done an amazing job cleaning them up (especially A Child Is Born) and they sound very clear and nice, with the occasional anomaly. 

The running time for both scores combined is over fifty minutes.  Given that it's our Christmas release and the archival nature of the recordings, we again are offering this at a special price of $15.98 (plus 3.75 shipping).  I'm not officially announcing this for another week - so you hainsies/kimlets have a week jump on everyone else (and remember, Laurette completely sold out in less than four days).  Payment the usual way via paypal to kritzerland at adelphia dot net.  Be sure to put the title of the CD in the paypal invoice.
