Well, you've read the notes, the notes were by ME and took time, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently having some MOO time.

From the notes:

Quote

...some company acquired the property in a foreclosure sale and built a monstrosity on it

Could be, but then again, maybe not. It is not uncommon for smaller contractors to purchase a lot and build a spec house. Undeveloped urban land does not oftern find itself in foreclosure - the banks don't lend much on it as it is. A more likely scenario is an estate sale, at which a contractor could pick up a bargain on the land, build his spec house, and price it at slightly below market for a quick sale and a tidy profit.

For whatever its worth, if the house does go for big bucks it will help the other houses in the neighborhood hold their value in this still declining market.

busy day yesterday - one of the chores was picking up my new glassess - I like the way they look butIi am not completely happy with the way I see

The dr said it was becaue teh new prescription is slightly less strongtehn my old prescriptipo and that it will take a few days for my eyes to adjust - all I kow is that I couldn't read any tohe street signe when I was driving -

I'll give it a couple of days and if things don't improve I will have to bring them back -

I suppose I should wear my contacts and use the reading glasses today to see how they are

I'm driving down to San Antonio this morning to direct the book trailer for ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD.

Good morning, all! It's nice and cool in Manhattan and last night I added one more blanket to my bed. I slept very well. Last year, when the temperature dropped, I winterized my bed and slept horribly under too many blankets until late Oxtober. Not this year.

My apartment is beginning to look less chaotic, not as though a big slob lived here, but more like a poor housekeeper does. This morning, my plan is to go through the bookcases and take out more books for the Miami University Library. Then, at 2 pm, I am meeting Bruce Pomahac for the matinee of THE ROYAL FAMILY. I'm going to take a note backstage to Rosemary Harris to see if I can see her after the show; she was supposed to be at the McGlinn memorial but she didn't show on Friday. After the matinee, Bruce and I are having dinner and then I will toddle home to my newly tidied apartment.

I did not get to read the posts yesterday because of the Jewish New Year.

We had a dinner and my aunt made the most delicious dessert (which i've never had before).

It was a chocolate trifle with chocolate mousse, strawberries, choc cake and whipped cream. It was so good.

Jennifer · « **Reply #15 on:** September 20, 2009, 06:04:06 AM »

Will anybody else here be watching the Emmys tonight?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #16 on:** September 20, 2009, 06:46:04 AM »

Work today. Oh well. It is finally raining here, we could use it!

Glad the soundtrack release announcement caused a buzz among the hoi polloi! That is always encouraging.

DerBrucer, I believe the house next door to BK was a tear-down, not a vacant lot. Tear-downs are becoming quite popular out here.

I'm hoping for nice weather as I venture out to Cranford, New Jersey and then to Brooklyn, New York for Rosh Hashanah family stuff.

Matt H. · « **Reply #20 on:** September 20, 2009, 07:15:18 AM »

Good morning!

Cool and overcast once again. I've got the windows open, and it's very pleasant.

I forgot to answer the TOD yesterday.

My mom was a wonderful cook and an excellent baker. She had two desserts that she absolutely could not be topped on: cocoanut cake and Boston creme pie. Both of these were to-die-for desserts, but she didn't make them often because they were so rich and I suppose she feared we'd get tired of them. I'll never forget them, and I've never had either of them anywhere else that could remotely touch the taste of her desserts.

Laura · « **Reply #22 on:** September 20, 2009, 07:18:54 AM »

My mom made grasshopper pie.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #23 on:** September 20, 2009, 07:18:56 AM »

Now I want cake and pie.

Matt H. · « **Reply #24 on:** September 20, 2009, 07:19:54 AM »

I am so thrilled to have today off. As I mentioned yesterday, I have two priorities: MISERY and ICE AGE 2, both on Blu-ray. MISERY is just for fun, but ICE AGE 2 is actually prepping me to review the upcoming release of ICE AGE 3 which is a Fox Blu-ray I'll be covering.

With whatever time is left today, I may hop back on my HD-DVD shelf and watch something on that format. I want to use that machine fairly often so any inside mechanism gets some workout and doesn't die due to negligence.

I will skim through the Emmys tonight. Will record the show on the DVR and then around 9:15 or so start at the beginning of the show and skim through to see who wins. It's three hours, and I don't want to sit there through acceptance speeches of celebrities I don't care about and endless commercials. I do want to see what Neil Patrick Harris does with the hosting chores since he was so effective at last year's Tony Awards.

Matt H. · « **Reply #26 on:** September 20, 2009, 07:24:22 AM »

Thankfully, the only other show on tonight is MAD MEN which is already set to record and which I won't get to watch until tomorrow or later in the week.

With the new prime time season starting in earnest tomorrow, the nights of watching a show here or there will be effectively gone.

Good morning. I read another story to Sugar this morning, and she fell asleep at about the 2nd sentence. Again. She at least laughs at my jokes!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #28 on:** September 20, 2009, 07:33:31 AM »

I am now going to work.
