Today at work is going to be a day. We're FINALLY having another interview for our collection manager position (which is my supervisor). This is the third, count 'em THIRD round of interviews...actually, the second time that the position was announced, they didn't do any live interviews. I think that they had a couple of phone interviews, but no one was good enough for a live interview. We'll see what happens!
Like George, I was a young'un back then. Certainly too young to see "Midnight Cowboy."Here's a link to movies from 1969 from which I culled the list below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_films_of_1969They Shoot Horses, Don't They?The Prime of Miss Jean BrodieSweet CharityThe ReiversThat Cold Day in the ParkThe Wild BunchButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
I've just had a phone call from our DR vixmom: some flooding in the basement, and they have no power and no ability to use their cell phones. She called me from work.She sends her love and says they are all fine; dry ice is keeping the refrigerator food cold, and that the damage was far worse with Hurricane Gloria.I'm off to run errands.
DIVORCE EYE-TALIAN STYLE arrived at my quiet house this morning.

Lest we forget, 1969 was also the release of Once Upon A Time In The West in the US, and it also gave us the supremely weird and egomaniacal Can Hieronymous Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe And Find True Happiness? starring Anthony Newley.
Many vibes. I haven't heard from my friend Carol tonight. This morning was OK, though she did say she had waterfront property overnight.
I actually think it's the first show of mine that John and Alyssa have seen. They had a great time. They visited the "schoolhouse" during intermission, and the trombone player talked with John since John has been playing trombone for about two years now. After the show, I took them around the walk-around, and one of the stagehands even gave Alyssa a ride in the surrey!
~~~Major Vibes for DR Jane's Facebook Friend in Hudson Valley, NY!!~~~
That's the way our library system works, too. Once a talking or e-book checked out, it's checked out for the full three weeks and it can't be checked in. The only thing that can happen (from what I understand) is that if you've put in a request for the title and you get notified that it's now available, but you don't actually check it out, you can choose to not take it and it'll go to the next person.

She will need to apply for financial aid, if it is available, from the government. I hoping at the least friends will be able to remove the trees off of her house.

Good Morning!I'm up, I'm up... And I'm on a bus, Bolt-ing back to NYC for a true 24-hour visit.
I understand the Jose might be making his way towards Florida.
CACTUS FLOWERVIVA MAX (Best after quite a few drinks)And it took A CHORUS LINE to take worst film of a musical away from PAINT YOUR WAGONFilms like KRAKATOA and MAROONED are underwhelming when projected by letter boxed 16 MM on a portable movie screen – the unhappy lot of those of us who spent most of the ‘60S at sea.Actually I spent the last part of 1969 in Bath, ME working on the installation and checkout of a new weapons system for the Navy. She was the third of her class, and the first two had failed their qualifying tests miserably – so the Admiral in charge rolled the dice and sent a junior officer who had a reputation for thinking out side the box to get the new fangled computer based contraption working as advertised. My “out of the box” included putting the ship (and crew) on 24 hour per day operating status (which required a wholesale change in the allocation of ship personnel assignments – and a total rewrite of the ship’s Organization Manual), moving the Captain’s battle station from the Bridge to the inside Combat Information Center (and a complete rewrite of the ships Battle Bill to support a new command structure). When we showed up for the critical qualifying trials, the supervising team wanted the organization put back “the way it’s supposed to be”, the Admiral refused, we went to trials that two other ships had failed miserably; we aced them and my “out of the box screwball way” became “the usual way” for the ships to follow.(The most fun was taking the ship from the shipyard at Bath ME to her homeport of Long Beach CA (via the Panama Canal).der Brucer
Thanks to all for the comments on Abby......this is the first time in MY WHOLE LIFE that there has not been at least ONE pet in the house......It's quiet.
Little effect from Irene on my part. No loss of electricity, no water in the basement and very little debris in the yard.My office building in Conshohocken is closed due to the entire street it's located on being flooded, but I wouldn't have been able to get out there anyway because the train service out that way has been suspended. It would be a day off for me but I elected to come into our client's office in Philly to get the comp time.Mom is doing well in the hospital but she is getting antsy. My sisters and I don't want them to discharge her until we can see that Mom has no leg swelling or infections to take back to the rehab center.
I just came from the vampire's blood lab, where I was needled once in each arm, but no blood was drawn. When they offered to try getting it from the back of my hand, I said, "Let's just forget it for today."

DR Dan (the Man), I could tell from the demeanor of today's tech that the result would not be good. She was very tentative and not at all confident.
