Cable guy is gone and all is connected and working. However, I now have found that my new DVD recorder will not record from channels that have now started copy protecting their movies/tv shows...for instance Encore Westerns.

Evidently, DVD recorders made before 2006, which my old one was, were able to by pass the copy protection that cable stations use...new machines do not bypass this...I am beyond unhappy. My DVR is FULL of stuff recorded off of Encore Westerns and now I cannot burn them to DVD like I could with my old machine....so getting a new DVD recorder was rather pointless. Hopefully Turner Classic Movies is not using the copy protection.

Uff, JohnG, that is a lot of extra charges!

That is one reason I am happy to no longer be a home owner.

I have a headache and am now going to take a nap.

Sunday afternoon greetings! Richard and I are back from Lima (Ohio, not Peru), where we had a very small crowd for church. We went to Panera for lunch and ordered some bagels and pastries for the coffee hour that we're hosting after next Saturday's service in which Holy Nativity will be designated our diocesan pro-cathedral, making Richard the Dean.

Good morning, all! I slept lste, much later than I had intended, but I blame it on the meds: yesterday morning, in a fit of mental distraction I tok my evening meds, so around 6 pm last night I took the morning ones, one of which is hydrochlorothiazide, for high blood pressure and water retention. As a result I was up half of the night running to the bathroom. Oy!

I remember only one of last night's dreams now: working at the Drama Book Shop over Christmas holiday and the frustrations of dealing with the owners on book orders. This could be frustrating for both clerks and customers, since the buyer believed in getting the highest possible discount and she did this by ordering large quantities, but there would be periods where the store would be out of stock on a hot item while we waited fora large order to arrive. It was very pound wise and penny foolish because we spent a lot of time watching customers go elsewhere to buy something.

Today, my agenda is to clean up this dump, prepare for tomorrow's trip to DC, and pack. My funtime will be a dinner visit with the wonderful delightful DR PennyO at Artie's!

And I'm just now back from some brief visits with old pals, and fixin' to walk uptown to Artie's to see YOU, my dear angel!! Oh, boy - I'm so looking forward to seeing your fine self!!!

PennyO · « **Reply #71 on:** October 02, 2011, 12:55:29 PM »

Safe and happy travelation vibes to all - Jose, hope to be able to see you when you get back tomorrow!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Excellent Travel Vibes & Xylophones for BK! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've moved some furniture around, and I'm ready to begin some prep work on ROBERTA, a 1933 musical comedy by Messrs Otto Harbach amd Jerome Kern.
You're doing the original, not with the movie interpolations, like "Lovely to Look At"? And is it "Roberta" or "Gowns by Roberta"? I have a divinely deco designed piece of piano music for "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" from the original production hanging on my wall and it just says "Roberta," but I've heard others swear the title had the "Gowns by ..."

The original title of the show that opened out of town was "Gowns by Roberta," which is the title of the Alice Duer Miller novel that the musical was based on. By the time it opened in New York, it had changed directors and title. The early Russell Bennett scores have the "Gowns by Roberta" title, and the alterations have "Roberta." There are three Appendix numbers: "Lovely To Look At" and "I Won't Dance," added to the film, and "Armful of Trouble," cut from the show, although the melody appears in the underscoring several times. I'm taking the novel with me to DC

I get back around 12:30pm. I have no real plans tomorrow except for a good afternoon nap. We'll touch base sometime tomorrow.

Six and a half years?!?!? WOWZA!?!?!?!?!

I guess it really HAS been 6 and a half years since we gathered in NYC for Jewish Thighs on Broadway - hard to believe!

We finally gave in and turned the heat on in our house.
