We have been working to clear a song for our film that is on the Vanguard label, but the clearance person could never find any phone number or contact info on them. A little surfing on my part revealed that they had been bought by Welk music. Apparently, Lawrence Welk was a pretty savvy businessman!

The guy at Vanguard was very nice and things are looking good.

Now off to go south again today to stay with Greg's mom. His dad was admitted to the hospital a few days ago (for irregular heart rhythm and very high blood pressure) and everyone's taking turns staying down there. At least today I should have work to take with me if Fed-Ex brings the material they were supposed to deliver yesterday.

Any vibes for Greg's dad would be appreciated as they figure out what's wrong. One possibility is kidney problems, but we'll see after the catscan results today.

No internet at M&P's house so more later...

I posted the picture before - I found it when I was a member of NewspaperArchive.org by doing a Bruce Kimmel search....I think is was an Ohio paper.  When I printed it to scan, my ink cartridge was low so it was blue/green.

I am going to start wearing my hat like the guy at  :25 - nice tribute to the Ritz brothers at 2:00 and the best slap dancing ever at 2:30.

I started to watch Lawrence Welk regularly when he was on locally on Saturday night....I had my favorites of course...Guy & Ralna, Clay Hart, and the girl trio Sandy, Sally, and I forget the other girl's name....and the dancing, although Bobby kind of did what Judy Garland said Ray Bolger did:  "Different music - same goddamned dance."

Good morning, all! My left eye feels as though I've scraped my cornea; it aches and won't stop watering. I figure I've gotten around four hours worth of slep last night, thanks to the neighbor above, whose rapid demise I am heartily wishing for. He showed up noisly somewhere between 12:30 and 1:00 am by letting his front door slam shut, which woke me, walked around for a bit on the wooden flloor in heavy shoes which reverberate like mad. At one point I heard the dog's claws tapping on the wooden floor as well. He wasn't alone, because around 1:30 am the squeaky bed began bouncing loudly, interrupted by moments where one of them would get up and walk around a bit. Around 2:00 I turned on the tv and watched the COLBERT REPORT. Around 2:15, I turned off the television. Somewhere around 2:30, i heard the first words since he came in. He asked his partner if she was "ready?", there was more compling around and some time after that they left. That might have been directed at the dog. He returned about 15-25 minutes later, and about 30 minutes after that, all was quiet. The earplugs are not working. Clearly.

So, I wanted to sleep in, but I've got the McGlinnventory, then a trip to the barber, followed by a visit to my doctor. This will be followed with a phone call to my landlord.

Sorry it's headed for rain in your area, DR JRand. It's sunny and bright here today. Got into the high 80s yesterday and am expecting more of the same today. It apparently bypassed spring and went straight from winter to early summer over night.

Off to the hospital this morning to be near a friend who is having brain surgery to try to help his Parkinson's.

As to the TOD: Who can tell who is more corrupt, politicians or captains of industry, who seem hell-bent on tempting the politicians into complicity in their corruption? It's all one big cesspool.

Vibes for your friend DR JOHN G.

Yes, I feel pretty much as MR BK does about the bailouts - maybe a bit stronger....if possible.

However I dislike Mr Moore's tactics and one-sided "documentary" film making, that I get mad if I agree with him on ANYTHING, so I don't watch his movies.

TOD:

Michael Moore certainly makes some very good points in his film, but his viewpoint is (as usual) skewed.

I recall, very well, what our financial advisor told us a couple of years ago, pre-bail-out: "If this bail-out doesn't go through, then you get out of the market completely.  Dump everything: stocks, mutual funds, bonds...."

It was a scary time.

FDR's 2nd Bill of Rights sounds wonderful and people, I think, should have all these things.

RE: Lindsay Lohan and the post that DR RonP made yesterday (that she is suing over a commerical that she thinks was about her because they used the name lindsay).

It would be one thing if after seeing that commercial anybody actually thought that it was about her. That never occured to me. But now that she's made a big deal about it I think that is all anybody will think about when watching it.

Eye and sleep vibes for DR Elmore. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I feel so bad for you re: the neighbor.  You definitely must do something about it. Did the landlord say he would talk to him? And why is this happening now (did this person just move in?)  I"m sure this was suggested before, but i am also a light sleeper and would wake up at any noise. But i find it very easy to fall asleep with the tv on. And it really makes it so that you don't hear other noises as easily. You could probably do the same thing with the radio.

I can't believe that he would be so inconsiderate (i think you said you contacted him). Can you hear this from everyone in your apartment?
