Your new TV and receiver set-up sounds pretty cool, BK.  May you have years of great TV watching. ;D

Today, I have nothing to do but watch TV.  I have several episodes of TV shows to watch...and I have my back yard to trim.

DR George - I don't think I have the show songbook.  I used the Ahrens & Flaherty songbook sheet music, but with the lyric revisions from the final show.     :)

Sunday morning greetings.

I completely zoned out yesterday.  Walked the farmers market at 3rd & Fairfax for 3 hours in the morning, came home took a nap, then watched Vanity Fair, The Other Boleyn Girl,  and Marie Antoinette.

Now it's 1:30AM and time to be quite. 

Hopefully I will read the last 3 days of posts this afternoon.

Have a pleasant Sunday.  Filled with relaxation and fun.

Thank you  BK  & DR Jose for your comments about MACs

I did exactly what you said Jose but I did it in reverse.

I went to Best Buy and went to the Apple Kiosk and a very knowledgeable young man showed me the  MACs (They had three models) and answered all my questions and I had a lot of them.

I was interested to see if they had a similar program to Powerpoint come fall I will be giving some classes on musical theater and I want a good program that does slide/audio presentation. I also wanted some of the basics.

The first question I asked was "What does a MAC have to offer that a PC doesn't have"

After about 45 minutes with I like the idea of the Mid level Mac ($1500) and I considered taking their 3 year extra warranty. I also would buy a couple of programs and it would take me over $2000.  Its a lot of money but I think it just might be a good investment.

All the programs that come with MAC look cool and the program FINAL CUT also looks like a winner.

Then I went to the Apple Store. Very busy place. I looked over the many different models they have there and the programs they have for sale. Apple guy came over and I asked him some of the same questions I asked the Best Buy salesman.

Sunday morning greetings!  We are off to Lima in about an hour and, after church, heading for HOME!  I'm ready to be there - it dawned on me last night that this is the third weekend in a row that I've been away.  It's all been fun, but as Dorothy says, "There's no place like home."

DR Michael S - following up on DR Jose's comments, if you go to the Apple Store just as the new models are being released, sometimes they have great deals on the ones being replaced.

And, for me, one of the best things about retiring is never having to use a PC again.  Love my new 13" MacBook - the larger ones would be too big for me to carry around.

My APPLE G4 IMAC is set up in the living room for my parents.  I still use some of the programs, but they certainly like it - and with the help of the DR's here on HHW, I was able to get most of my questions answered....those that I asked.

Last week I found an almost new size 56 Gerald Austin/Bond Street tuxedo with size 44 pants, and black silk collar and ribbon waistband for $10.99 - with nice black suspenders still buttoned to said pants.  It may have been worn once or twice.  And it was senior day - so I got it for $7.90. 

Now all we have to do at PCPH is produce a show featuring a man wearing a tuxedo and cast a size 56 actor in the role!

Good morning, all! Today I return to the Napa Valley and a few more rounds with Mr Frank Loesser. I received yesterday as well the final round of notes from Mr Foley, who's been editign my Main Report, and I hope to finish those up today as well.

I slept soundly until around 6:30, at which time I became obsessed with dreams about moving the office and setting up a new phone system and telephone number. I swear that all I did was have variations on this dream for two hours before I decided genug ist genug! Oy!

Saturn turning direct is responsible for all of these crazy dreams we have been having.  It will continue for a few days.

Good morning!

A very gray day outside. Looks like rain but there have only been a few drops thus far.

I'm finally going to see WICKED.

It's coming to Austin in August, and I've just ordered some great orchestra seats that cost about half as much as they would have in Los Angeles.

Knowing that my front yeard desperately needed mowing, I got out early and did the front faster than I have ever done it before. I was literally RUNNING with the mower since it looked like the sky was going to open up any second. The rain never actually started (as I said, a few drops fell after I got inside), but I am SO delighted to have that done for another couple of weeks.

Looks like my work project today from the stack of Fox/MGM Blu-ray discs will be BIG.

I haven't seen the film in a long time, so it'll be fun revisiting it. I've never reviewed it either. When it came out, I was between newspaper gigs and never wrote it up.
