And my ears still feel like they're on the plane too. A bit cloggy.

What was the book you got him that he has to wait to read?

Answer: “Blood Rites” the sixth in Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files series (No 13 is now on the best seller list).

A few weeks back, when I had both Lads (alone) at my mercy, I decided we would spend some time reading something new. I brought over a collection of books from which Alex could select:: Book One of The Dresden Files (Warlocks and Magic), Crichton’s Timeline (Time travel to a castle under siege in medieval France), Carr’s “The Alienist” (Searching for a serial killer in 1896 NYC), Finney”s “Time and Again” (time travel to 1892 NYC for adventures) – all the books either have sequels or have similar works by the same author – Experience tells me that if Alex buys into one work, , he’ll buy into other’s by the same the Author. He picked The Harry Dresden, and stayed up all night to finish it! So, now ere on a 13 volume reading adventure.

I got William to start on Volume One of The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod (teen age vampire).

Alex has an MTV-bred impatience with reading; he wouldn't finish 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea because it was boring. Also, he wont touch any book if he's seen (or might see) the movie!

DR Jose, my ticket was paid fro by the funding in Philadelphia so I will be notified if I'm coming back early. The original recording schedule was Tuesday through Friday, so I'm scheduled to return on Saturday. We're now recording from Monday to Wednesday, so I may have a ticket change to return on Thursday or Friday. The cost of changign the flight will certainly be less than paying for two more nights in this amazing hotel.

Gotcha.

So.... With your adjusted recording schedule, will you be having longer days/sessions? Or did they cut back the amount of hours? Or both?

I'm up and will be jogging in about thirty minutes before the temperature gets too crazy.

Any photos of Larry's hotel?

It's not quite a picture, but it's the Web site for the hotel where our Dear Larry is staying

Merrion Hotel

Thanks, Ben!

Hmmmm...

I just checked the progress reports for the America's 911 Foundation Memorial Ride, and it looks like I really should head into DC sooner rather than later. I think. In any case, I'm going to go ahead and get ready to head out of the house, and then proceed from there.

Laters...

Back from another good rehearsal. Actor Karl Harpur joined us to play the two villains and we also got to work with Andrew Ashwin, who is - to everyone's surprise - a Brit, not an Irishman - and Joe Corbett, both wonderful performers. Joe will be very funny as Sir Reggie, silly ass Brit twit, and tall, lanky Andrew has a beautiful baritone that he does not get to show off much in the piece; his role is mostly a spoken one.

Tomorrow, the orchestra joins us. So far, so good.

And Happy Birthday to the late Gene Roddenberry. If he were still alive, he'd be 90 years old.

Did Alex watch TIMELINE instead of reading it? If I recall it stayed pretty close to the book. I haven't read The Dresden Files.

The boys are lucky to have you to keep them reading.

Sounds like DR ELMORE is having fun and getting a lot of work done!

Just returned from the gym. It feels strange to say that. Before joining I made sure there were a couple of available exercises for me to do. One was in a room I couldn't enter as a class was going on & the other needed the bar switched out. The bar I wanted was at the top of the machine where my arms can't reach up far enough to get it. It was on the floor when I had my tour of the equipment.

I walked on the tread mill, at a fast clip, just over 3 miles after having hiked Sherlock for 30 minutes.

Jeanne · « **Reply #56 on:** August 19, 2011, 02:57:39 PM »

Jane, I hope you find that you enjoy the gym and can do plenty there. I've often had a similar experience--limited by various injuries.

Jeanne · « **Reply #57 on:** August 19, 2011, 02:58:39 PM »

Very nice review, Bruce. What are Melody's plans for the near future, aside from the Gardenia?

Jeanne · « **Reply #58 on:** August 19, 2011, 03:01:19 PM »

Today I picked up my new custom-made insoles. They feel very strange and I'll need a little time to adjust. They also feel completely different from my ready-mades. I'm hoping I'll be able to take longer walks--and do so comfortably.
