Well, you've read the notes, the notes sucked air, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently doing Steam Heat with choreography by Bob Flossie.

Perhaps Dino will get me off this damn page.

First after BK!! Not sure if I've ever done that

I had a lot of fun last night, unfortunately I coughed ALL NIGHT. I hope I didn't keep anyone awake. I know it didn't bother one of the guys in the back yard because I could hear him snoring lol.

So, I am pretty tired. actually even if I hadn't been coughing, I wasn't sleepy after such an exciting day. Plus the cats didn't sleep a wink running from window to window looking at the strange things in the yard, lol. I did just realize the only coffee maker I have now is a single cup coffee maker. I guess I could make everyone a cup, but not sure that's so practical. I wish I had brought the one from the office home. It would be nice to be able to give them coffee

Setting up camp

I'll post a few more later. THink I'll see what's happening

Cillaliz · « **Reply #12 on:** July 25, 2010, 04:46:50 AM »

There are 25 people staying here right now. The men camped, the women slept in the basement on the floor in sleeping bags....glad I cleaned the carpet. The funny thing is, I spent all that time getting everything ready and only one guy stayed here in the evening while the rest of us went downtown. It's ok, though, everything is still nice and it was fun....oh, and one guy slept in the gazebo on the floor, another slept in the hammock.

Everyone loves my house. The very first comment was "Wow! You live in a castle!"

Great review on Playbill.com, BK.

Very tired this morning. Maybe too much beer last night, but I'm not hung over. Just exhausted.

Der Brucer's comment on the American Census Form: I've yet to run into a piss-ant government bureaucrat I couldn't out last - lots of tricks can help: mark the form "deceased" and return; shred the form and return; refuse to understand any phone questions; personal encounters at the door can usually be handled by refusing to recognize any proferred ID and by drawing on years of salty naval lingo to discuss the interviewer's personal hygiene habits. I always give my adversary a first chance to avoid the abuse by simply stating "No - Go Away, Now!"

Unfortunately, Laura's church-going civility probably precludes these tactics.

My response: I, too, go to church, but I don't have a problem with any of those, though I find writing "won't answer" or "none of your biz" to be more effective than the naval lingo. (I've been known to make sailors blush with my own argot.)

Sunday morning greetings! Fr. Richard left for Lima at the usual time and I went back to sleep for an hour or so. All the guys on the second floor are still asleep and it's raining.

Good morning, all! I think I will make the trek across 86th to Lexington Avenue and see if the Staples there has the damned lamp. If not, it will be good to get out of the apartment for a bit and check out the store on the East Side. If they have the lamp, I'll be in and out quickly.

In last night's most peculiar dream, I was singing in a recital with three other people - Steve Sondheim and the lady who runs the NY State Theatre Institute were in the audience - and then I was camping out in a hotel room with four other guys - one of them was a colleague from the Herbert-Kern project - and I was later participating in a vegetable soup-making competition. What prompts these? Why can't I have a hot erotic dream?

After all the mess I made in the apartment yesterday, I need to vacuum and tidy up. I'll do that after I return with the lamp. Then I have some writing to do concerning Ed Waters of the Library of Congress and his cataloging of the Victor Herbert Collection.

I despise Norton. What used to be an excellent piece of software has become a bloated piece of crap!!!

I use one of the free anti-virus programs called Avast. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Norton or McAfee or the other paid programs but it works for me and it doesn't slow down my system or give me weird messages.

You can download the program here. There are paid versions of Avast but the free version is clearly marked. You do need to register to get the free activation key, which is good for 2 years but you don't get spam or other mail from Avast. If you can remove the ~~piece of crap~~ Norton and install this you might be happier.

Avast

Anthony left this morning for two weeks in Annapolis, MD. He will be doing The Fantasticks (playing Luisa's father Bellomy). In the interim I will continue going to work, pay a visit to dear Larry (next Friday we will watch The Beggar's Opera) and I will deliver two CDs to Larry of the marvelous Joan Morris and her piano master husband William Bolcom.

Today the first Target store officially opens in Manhattan at East 116th Street. Even though it's a furnace outside I may take the trek up there to see what's going on.

Cil, my sister is in Iowa this weekend with her grandaughter and our nephew. The other grandmother lives in Iowa (I forget where but I don't think it's SUX) and they are visiting specifically to see the whole Bike festival.
