PEAT MOSS AND PETE MOSS
« on: October 30, 2008, 12:01:52 AM »

Well, you've read the notes, the notes smelled like peat moss and Pete Moss, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're grazing on the grass with peat moss.

Let's see if this works:  For those who've read the Kritzer books, my beloved Lido Theater.

It worked.  So, here's my beloved Stadium Theater, from afar.

Here's a great mid-1950s shot of the Bruin in Westwood - some years later our very own dear reader Jane would be working there.

Finally, here's the Vogue Theater in Hollywood, in its heyday circa 1965 - this theater features in my short story The Book Scout.  And, of course, next door is our favorite, Musso and Frank.  And as a point of interest, I saw What's New, Pussycat about fifteen times at the Vogue.

Good morning, all!  I was out of bed around 6:30 because I have to be out of the apartment by 8 am: I'm gettng my hair cut at 9 at Rockefeller Center, then I have several hours at Toyland, folowed by physical therapy.  After that, it's back here for more work on THE MOST HAPPY FELLA.

I'm officially on the DR FJL/Skip Kennon roster for Thanksgiving and very very happy about it. They've got the best salon going for 21st Century Manhattan, and I look forward to seeing friends and making the acquaintance of new ones.

Right now I've got to put together my traveling snack of sliced apples and walnuts and almonds, which should tide me over till I get home for some lunch, which will most likely be tuna salad. Tonight will be steamed vegtables and chicken over brown rice. It's gonna be a tasty day.

Does anyone know what's wrong with the buysoundtrax.com? I tried to buy the LAURETTE Kritzerland recording yesterday since BK said he was sold out and they claimed to have it. Only Paypal said they couldn't accept money at the present time and buysountrax has not responded to my inquiry about the problem.

So yesterday was interesting...


we have been very slow at work for the past several months -  teh boss has decided that he cannot afford to keep going this way (makes senses) but didn't want to lay anyone off... So

he has cut all of us to P/T status - 32 hours a week - 4 days


fortunately I know someone who needs someone one day a week - at least temporarily, so I will be working there once a week

Also the mamogram place called me because I had not yet made an appointment for the followup sonogram they wanted -   I explained that since the doctor was only availbale  10 - 4  M - F and that I work 9 - 5:30  M - F I was trying to figure out when I could get there especially since the  recent turn of events means I cannot take time off and still get paid - and said I would call back for an appointment



About a half hour late she called me back and said the doctor "really" wants to see me and that she would come in on this Saturday if I would....


Ok now I'm a little more nervous - and yes I'm going to be there on Saturday

Then the dentist called me---  remember last week with the impression fiasco?  Well in the midst of it, the dentist made note of the enlarged gland on my neck - I've had it for a while and haven't really paid attention to it - it doesn't hurt and it hasn't bothered me in anyway.

At the time she suggested that I go see my regular GP and have him have a look at it.



Well she called yesterday to see if I had gone to see the doctor yet.   I told her no and she said that I should go and see my doctor 'Right away" and that I should make sure he also checked the inside of my throat right where the lump is on the outside. 

The she called me again an hour later to see if I had made the appointment - (I had - I'll be there at 9:15  before my 11:00 at the mammogram place)

elmore - I am sorry you won't be in Ohio for Thanskgiving - but I agree with Jose  you'llhave a much happier and less stressful time  in NYC with the added bonus of dinner with the wonderful FJL and Skip!!

and you can see the Macy's parade in person!

and you must take photos of  the dinner and describe it in detail!!
