Well, you've read the notes, you've digested the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the digested cows come home.

Good Morning.

I'm at the office. The Mott Foundation and the Kresge Foundation await.

Anyone remember

S. S. Kresge Company(Sebastian Spering Kresge)?

The corporation changed the name to K-Mart in the 70s

I remember them as well as Woolworth's (with the lunch counter). We never had a McCrory's near us but as I toured around with various shows I saw McCrory's. Now they are all gone. Memories of another time.

Good morning, all!  DR Ben, my Aunt Dorothy, my mother's oldest sister, worked at the notions counter of Kresge's from around 1940-1951. I have memories of her standing behind rows of colored spools of thread and other sewing items.

This morning the alarm went off at 6:30, and by 7 all my laundry was in the washers. Everything's now in the dryers. When it's finished, I will get ready for another session with Joshie, Rob, and Greg the intern at Encores! I think today I am making cuts in the band parts. I will only be there around four hours today. On my way downtown I need to stop at the School of Ethical Culture and fill out a W-2 form.

I remember Kresge's......but we didn't go there too often.  I don't think I have been in a K-Mart for about 20 years or so.

There was an S.S.Kresge in one of our local malls when I was a youngen, but I can't recall which.  I know there was a McCrory's on Market Street in Philly.  But as far as I remember, I was never in either of them.

I remember being very excited about the opening of an S.Klein's.  They had cleared out a large wooded tract behind the Cherry Hill Mall to build a new shopping area with S.Klein as the major anchor.  My mom loved shopping there but I ultimately found it a disappointment with a pretty dull toy department.  The only interesting thing about it in my mind was that they always seemed to have the latest in Hot Wheels cars and accessories.

BK,

I assume that THE CHALK GARDEN is from that Universal/Amazon "Vault" series.

How was the quality of the transfer, etc., as compared to what WHV is doing?

Classmates is giving me a 50% discount and my card company is going to eat the balance.

Well that works out for you and you will still get the service?

Personally I would have kept at classmates until they cancelled the membership. It's not right that they trick you into a membership.

Last night DR MattH wrote re: there being no regular female cast members on HUMAN TARGET:

Quote
I can see no potential upside to their having a female agent working alongside Mark Valley's "human target."

Actually I agree with this, and that is not what i meant.

What i meant was a) i find it odd that there are only 3 regular cast members.

b) i don't like that there are no female regular cast members.

I think that shows need the balance.

Chi McBride could have a wife. The team could have a female secretary ...  I don't think they would need to have her as an agent. Anyway it's just my 2 cents.

Wednesday morning greetings!   It's cold and sunny here in SW Ohio.  How do I know it's cold?  Well, the nurse who arrived at 8am took my blood pressure with a cuff that had been in her car over night and it was freezing!  She also drew  blood, which will be tested to determine whether or not we need to continue the shots - vibes for 2+, please!

My doctor told me last night that I'm allowed to stand long enough to take a shower, so that's my big agenda item for today.

DR Cillaliz - condolences to your friend's family.  I often find it difficult when we lose people we know, but not well enough to be intimately involved in the grieving.  {{{Hugs}}} to you, too.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, DR Jennifer. Not every show needs a balance in their regular cast (though if the show continues to do well, the regular cast can always be expanded). I LIKE that the show is different in that regard. The less cookie cutter plotting and casting, the better.

Good morning!

Much colder here this morning. I didn't wear a heavy enough jacket or the right kind of cap (my ears got a bit cold). I didn't know it at the time, but it was 25, so I should have bundled up more. I won't make that mistake tomorrow morning. (Of course, by the end of the walk, I was warm from the effort.)

I saw THE CHALK GARDEN during its original theatrical run. And never since. I'd love to see it again.

I heard no UPS truck stop at the front door, so it looks like I'll be JAGging again today. The show really is well done, and the cases (when they go to court) are always compelling. The sides to the arguments aren't always so clear cut, and one is never quite sure how the members are going to vote on the court martials or inquiries.

Because of the State of the Union Address, most networks are opting for reruns in the 8 p.m. hour (except for IDOL's endless auditions, of course). ABC has scheduled MODERN FAMILY and THE MIDDLE for that hour, but I don't believe they are new episodes.

PSYCH, of course, is a new episode and returns tonight to finish out its current season now on Wednesday nights at 10 on USA.

LEVERAGE continues its run at 10 p.m. on TNT.

I have such a collection of stuff to watch on the DVR. DAMAGES, THE OFFICE (from last week), BETTER OFF TED (which has the handsome and appealing Eddie McClintock as a guest star), WHITE COLLAR, NCIS: LA.

I'm just not sure what I'll pick when I start eating lunch.

There was a Kresge store, with a snack bar, on the corner of State St. and North University Blvd. in Ann Arbor when I was an undergraduate/graduate student at the University of Michigan.  I'd often go there for coffee between classes and I remember buying blue books there for exams (they were cheaper than in the bookstores).  That building has become Michigan Book and Supply and there's a Starbucks across the street where I'd probably hang out now.
