I am debating ordering this book:

If it is any good, let me know. It shoulds quite interesting.

From Friday's posts:  Of course Cole is 3 years old, not 23. I must remember to always proofread!

Sorry DR Druxy.  I didn't think I gave anything away & Jennifer left a spoiler space.

As for what Jennifer said, I completely agree.

I'm also confused at how someone could be spoiled.  Why read a discussion called "SERIES FINALE OF MEDIUM if you don't want to know about what happened in the series finale of Medium.

Not worth discussing.

Sorry I even brought it up.

It's ok.  You need to get the hang of skipping subjects that might disclose more info than you want.  It is possible you might enjoy the episode more having an idea of what happens.

I watch MEDIUM (and most TV series) on DVD.  Will wait for the final season to be released.

No longer spoilers:

1.  It sank.
2.  They're all dead.
3.  She's actually alive.
4.  He's crazier than you even think he is.
5.  Ma and Pa Kettle are actually cousins.

You may thank me later.

I would dress in the style of the 1950s. colorful rayon shirts, especially.

I've done about eight pages.  Just met with a potential new helper, who seems terrific.  She was actually in The Roxy, and she's a hard worker.  She seems to understand the deal and really wants to do it.  I'll make sure this current shipment is finished and done, and then I think I'll call a meeting with the helper's boyfriend and best friend and discuss all the various scenarios that might happen.  IF I hire this new gal, I'd have them come in while I'm there to show her how all the shipping stuff works on the computer.  Once she knows that, it's probably very simple to do the switchover.

I think I'll take a little movie break now, and then do two more pages a little later.  The good news is I have pretty much worked out all the final details for the last chapters.  As with the last book, I'd been waffling back and forth about the who of the mystery, but, as with the last book, it's going to be who I suspected it would be, although it was close between two other people.  In the end, I think I've made the right choice, but the good news is that if Muse Margaret doesn't like it, it would be fairly easy to go back in and just change that, as it would only involve the last two chapters.

Have you ever wondered what Beethoven's Ninth Symphony would sound like if it was "stretched" to 24 hours? Well, wonder no more!

The Kettles were based on people living over on the Olympic Penninsula of Washington, but when I was a kid living on Vashon Island; I swore they were based on a family that lived down the road from us.

It would take, at least, 24 hours for me to play the 9th Symphony on the piano.  Longer if you want any of the notes to be correct.

Oh...

When I went to MoMA earlier, I spent most of my time there in the following two exhibits:

Andy Warhol: Moving Pictures

On Line: Drawing Through the Twentieth Century

I actually spent a bit more time in the Warhol exhibit than I expected. MoMA really did a beautiful job of setting up the gallery as a viewing space, including a room set up as a movie theatre (minus the popcorn). It was the perfect setting just to sit, watch, absorb and think - or not think - for a while.

If anyone is thinking of moving to the Seattle area , there is a cute little home for sale in Bellevue, just across the lake from Seattle.  It belongs to former Seattle SuperSonic, Detlef Schrempf.
