It's no suite at the Plaza, but it's a lot better than it was a couple of hours ago.

No chocolates on the pillow?

...if one read this post rather quickly after reading DR Cillaliz's post about looking for presents from Callie...

Today was a strange day. There was a power outage in a big part of downtown and a lot of businesses just closed down. Then it became pitch black outside and poured rain like crazy. It was really quiet downtown...in an eerie way. I'm glad to be home now

I can get you a few screw hooks, DR Kerry. Let me know when you want to come over and pick them up.

Very ODD day in the office. Got a lot accomplished early, had a nice lunch, and then KAPOW!

One of our Project Managers simply refuses to accept that she is responsible for insuring that the invoices she wants me to pay must accurately reflect the amount of money on the purchase orders with the vendor she hired. It's just something she doesn't feel she should take the time to do...and that "I" should sort it all out.

But....ummmm.....No!

I meant to ask this on Wednesday

The Beatles Box sets.

Why would some one by both the stereo & mono sets?

If you are going to buy one set which one would get and why?

DAW · « **Reply #155 on:** September 11, 2009, 05:00:48 PM »

Lauren Bacall to get an honorary Oscar...

DAW · « **Reply #156 on:** September 11, 2009, 05:03:48 PM »

DR Michael S - the early albums were originally released in mono, therefore some consider the sound more authentic. But the mono box set doesn't include the later albums. Also, some different takes used on the mono mixes versus the stereo. As a compromise, some buy the mono set and supplement with items from the stereo set, which are available individually.

Some reviewers claim that which mix is better is really on a song-by-song basis. The stereo box has deluxe packaging [more extensive liner notes, mini-documentaries on each album, etc.]

Exactly what DAW said, DR Michael.

Good Evening!

Once again, Greetings from Charlotte!

I'm back in my hotel room for a bit. I may or may not head back out again in a little while. The Blues, Brews & BBQ is starting to kick into full gear - at least I can hear the bands from my hotel room - and it would be fun to check it out again.

When I was walking around earlier, I was able to forage for a lunch composed of free(!) samples of crackers, tortilla chips, BBQ sauces, hot sauces, chicken, carrots, peaches and churned-on-the-spot peach ice cream(!). Thankfully, Pepcid AC is here giving out free samples too.

And there was even a petting zoo set up with sheep, rams, llamas, a camel and a kangaroo! Oh My!

Good Afternoon!

Greetings from Charlotte, NC!

The weather is great!

The forecast for the next three days calls for sunny skies and temps in the mid-80's. Nice!

I'm happy to know you've arrived DR Jose! How's the weather?

So, after dinner Richard and I donned our Franklin Wildcat red and he and Rob and I drove to the stadium for the football game at which John was to be honored at halftime. As we were parking the car, I received a text message from Lauren (youngest daughter) telling us that it's been postponed 2 weeks due to this being 9/11. Being the only football fan in the threesome, I was unable to convince Richard and Rob that staying for the game would be fun anyway. We're home now, awaiting Mary Linda's arrival (which won't be for another 3 hours or so.

Even though we taxied for almost an hour, we managed to arrive in Charlotte just a few minutes past the scheduled arrival time. -But, I'm here.

And it seems that I've traded the gray and drizzle of Manhattan for the sunny and still almost summery temps of Charlotte.

And it's Brews, Blues & BBQ weekend here too! In fact, right outside my hotel!

And the new Epicentre is now open too since my last visit. Yeah for more dining choices on Sunday.

Yes, we had our drizzle yesterday. You should have a fine weekend, at least weather-wise. Of course, you're going to be spending most of it indoors as I am.

Well... Due some schedule-shifting this fall, I'll actually have a bit more free time on my hands this time round than usual. Tomorrow, I'll only be working from 9:30 to Noon-ish. Then Sunday, we're not starting until 2:00 due to a church service being held in the McGlohon Theatre, and I should be done by 6:00. Monday, which is traditionally the short day, is once again a short day. I start at 10:00, and should be done by 1:00, then my flight is not until 6:00.

I did a pretty thorough walk-around this afternoon, and there are a couple of places I want to check out again. I will say that I almost thought that the Time-Warner Arena (formerly Bobcats Arena) was a new structure, but then realized it only seemed new due to all the really new building around it. There are a lot of new buildings here in Uptown since I was here last year.

Edith told me today that she thinks I'm finally starting to be myself again. She thought I looked really tired, especially yesterday.

That's great Cilla!

DR Jose -

Actually, I did indulge in a little VB therapy this week. I now have the garment bag that matches the other travel pieces I got for my retirement.

Happy birthday to BK's neighbor Mr. Earl Holliman!

If I lived in his neighborhood I would most certainly go and give him a present!

You in a skimpy outfit with bow tied in an appropriate place?

No, DR Michael S.

DR MBarnum would bring him a copy of "Gumnaam".

Strategically placed, of course.

I checked my to record list to see how many Eureka's are left and made an important discovery....

All HOUSE & CASTLE fans, on Sept. 21st HOUSE is 2 hours and as a result CASTLE was not going to record. We also have BIG BANG THEORY set in the same time slot.

Lucky for us we have a back up tv in the guest room.

Oh! FYI - If you happen to be planning a visit to the DC area, a Vera Bradley store is due to open soon at Tysons Corner.

If Vera Bradley married Mr. City, she'd become VeraCity.
