Oy--today is the first of the house inspections.  Pray for Rosemary's septic tank.  :)

Rosemary's septic tank seems to have a top price of $10K; Rosemary's Olympic Bath however could flush a good deal more down the drain (if the drain works, that is)

Thanks, DerBrucer.

Don't thank me - thank the friendly critters.

der Brucer

In your honor I went out side and petted a very friendly kitty. A neighbor was taking his Jack Russel for a stroll and his three cats came along for the walk: a gorgeous lilac point Siamese Momma with two offspring, one like Momma and the other a darling gray tabby. I was amazed that the cats didn't stray far, and came when called.

We had our first squirrels today.  I put two feeders so there will be less squabbling among the natives.

Good luck - I think more feeders just gives them an excuse to have more kids; they have the breeding instincts of a Welfare Queen.

Well, I spoke with Keith - Jane went into surgery at 8 this morning. She was in a positive (what else??) frame of mind. There is no way to know how long it will take, as they have to be in there before they know what they'll do to repair our girl. Her fairly severe osteoporosis must have played a part - but the force and location of the impact would have felled larger, stronger people. Oy, vey...

Keith sounded his strong, stoic self - but i could hear how distressed and helpless he is. He has always been her protector, and his hands are tied right now. Keith's waiting for the surgeon and I'm waiting for Keith. I'll certainly let y'all know whatever I learn, as soon as I learn it.

Keep the faith...

Thanks for the updates, Penny! :-*

Good Afternoon!

So...  I started at 10:00. Finished at 11:45, then went to lunch. We started back up at 2:00, and we finished at 2:45.  -And I'm still on the clock until 6:00.

The surprise of the morning is that Pressure Point will be here in about forty minutes.  No one told me it was coming and I haven't even started to address packages yet.  But I will now.  I suspect these will all go out on Friday.

Cool!

It ended up being a pretty afternoon. It was nice to get out and walk around at lunchtime after we ate. Not too cold either. But the cold is definitely on its way.

Before I left for lunch, I had time to watch last night's NCIS: LA. As I suspected, Barrett Foa's character has a crush on Pauley's Abby.

The show was pretty intense and had some good lines last night. I enjoyed the show more than I have in the last month or so. Good job all around.

When I got in from lunch, I put on A CHARLIE BROWN THANKSGIVING to start getting in the mood and also to give me 25 minutes or so to decide what else I wanted to watch.

I had forgotten that the original DVD of this Peanuts special doesn't look all that great. The others look much better than this, even though it was made in 1973 and the other classics were produced quite a few years before.

I finally settled on SAY IT WITH SONGS, Al Jolson's third movie. I've seen THE JAZZ SINGER many times and also THE SINGING FOOL many times on laserdisc from that Al Jolson laserdisc box set, but I had only watched SAY IT WITH SONGS once before on laser.

The Warner Archive release is the same transfer as the laserdisc. Still, it's more convenient to watch than the laser since there is no side break. The movie only runs 86 minutes.

Funny thing about this one. It's actually Al's first all-talkie (the two previous ones had silent sequences in them), and he sings a good bit, but not one of the songs became one of his evergreen standards. You can tell that they wanted "Little Pal" to become as big a hit as "Sonny Boy," but I guess it didn't really catch on.

Al looks the best in this movie than he does in any of his other starring vehicles, and he doesn't do any blackface numbers either.

Next I skimmed through today's ONE LIFE TO LIVE. Kyle and Oliver once again had a few seconds of screen time, but they did give us an early Thanksgiving gift by having David Fumero (Cristian) parading around in just a towel. Nice

I started on AS THE WORLD TURNS, but I only got halfway through. Luke and Noah are on with Noah continuing to be a pill, but I'll finish it when I go downstairs.

Good news:  house is inspected

Bad news:  lots of things need attending to

Good news:  most of those things are going to be the bank-owner's responsibility, as the house is not fundable (meaning loan-worthy) if they're not fixed

Bad news:  more inspections (pool, septic, HVAC) still to come

Good news:  Bank is paying to fill two oil tanks so that both (count 'em) oil furnaces can be tested

Bad news:  evidently there was also an older boiler heating system with circulated water and individual thermostats in each of the rooms that has been largely dismantled.

Really good news:  it was so friggin' beautiful out there--mist in the hills, a slowly dissapating fog (much like in my mind, LOL), and a view for miles and miles once the mist and fog disappeared.  And so, so quiet.

REALLY Bad News:  just did a check, and there is no DSL or other high speed internet available out there.

Which means I may have to stop posting on HHW.

Which is really GOOD news for all of you.  :)
