A COMPLETE SET OF ROLL-ALONG LUGGAGE

Makes sense to me.

Yes, JR, add one more initial to yours and you have the headliner.

I believe Bear Manor is the publisher which once contacted me and offered me a contract to write a Farmer biography, but they couldn't do hardbacks, didn't want to include glossy stock for photos and most of all didn't like my idea of combining a traditional bio with my own journey to find out the truth about what happened to her.

That is a shame.

I agree.

I'm stll on my Encores! orchestration so I may miss the G&S at Symphony space. I've also not heard from Jo today so there's been no Kindle aid. DR Jose, you're MR Techno - have you any Kindle experience? Perhaps we could make a date this week?

DR elmore - The Kindle is much easier to set up than you think. Have you watched the Set Up videos on Amazon? They literally walk you through the process. Just start one up and follow along. It should take no longer than 5 minutes - probably more like 2 to get it set up and certified.

Otherwise, if you'd like to meet tomorrow afternoon...

Videos? They have videos? I do not function well with gadgets, yet I can transpose a score to any key and do square roots.

Tomorrow would be great, if it's late afternoon: I've got a trip to the McGlinnventory, then a stop at Encores! before I get home.

My sister, my niece, my mom, and I went to see STAR WARS when it was first released. I didn't enjoy the experience; in fact, I was bored to death.

I distinctly remember yawning a lot when I saw it!

Back from a bite to eat. I'd planned on making tuna sandwiches today, but then just didn't feel like it. First I went to the Studio Cafe, a jernt I've been going to from the beginning. I've been there at peak hours, off hours, all kinds of hours on every day of the week and I have NEVER not gotten an inside table right away (they have a large patio, as well) - but today? Nooooo - every table filled and people waiting outside - at TWO-THIRTY. I know it's Sunday and people behave weirdly, but I've been there on Sundays at that time before with nary a problem. So, I turned right around and went over to the Eclectic Cafe where it was the same story. Why, you'd never know there was a troubled economy and these two jernts are not what you'd call inexpensive. So, I went directly next door and tried the new place that I've been wanting to try - Soul Dog, a tiny jernt that serves hot dogs, fried chicken, collard greens, and the like. On Sundays only they do chicken and waffles, like Roscoe's - so I had a breast and a waffle. While not quite reaching the joys of Roscoe's it was very tasty and very filling, even though one fried chicken breast and one waffle with syrup come to less than a thousand calories.

Good Evening!

Well... I think The Boys from Syracuse is/are in my fingers. Alas, whoever copied the score for me, ended up not copying the proper(?) front and back of each page starting at Page 50. Consequently, I've been dealing with some really awkward page turns since some passages were obviously laid out as facing pages instead of over a page turn. But at least the pages are in the correct order!

I could have sworn some DRs had already posted the links to the set up videos on Amazon's site? Hmmm... In any case, you really should be able to do it yourself. And you should set it up yourself, since purchasing and downloading books to your Kindle basically follows the same process. So, in the meantime, go to Amazon.com, then:

-Mouse-over "Kindle" in the lefthand columm, then click on the link for "Manage Your Kindle".
-At the bottom of the lefthand column, you'll see "Kindle Support". Click on "Getting Started Guide".
-The "Getting Started with Kindle" page will come up.
-Breathe.
-Then just start reading the instructions.
-Breathe again.
-Then click on "Watch Video Demo" for each step.
-Repeat as necessary.

*Just think of it as following a score one measure at a time. It's all a sequence of events that come one after the other. And just like in music, if you read too far ahead, then, well... Don't.

First time in NJ I went to the market I was very confused trying to find my Best Foods. There was a jar that looked just like it only it had a different name. Fortunately someone came along & told me they were the same. Wise to different names for different coast I figured out the store bought bread I liked also had a different name.

Of course, I used to manage shoe stores for Hardy Shoes, which was kind of the same as Falgg Brothers Shoes. Our unofficial company slogan was:

Well, they're almost the same chain. Carl's Jr. parent company bought Hardee's a few years ago. The menu at Hardee's is basically the same as Carl's Jr. now, and Hardee's now uses the star logo that Carl's Jr. does.

Lar, there are some videos at Amazon about setting up your Kindle. Perhaps they will help.

Kindle Set Up

I would offer to help but I have a Sony. I don't know that they are that different but who knows.

If you haven't yet charged your Kindle I would start there since it can take 4-6 hours to charge the device.

I must say Bear Manor is not really to my liking - I don't like the look of their books. No slight to Druxy, who has a good relationship with them - this is purely an aesthetic comment. They are, like many publishers today, basically self-publishing without the charge and with the use of an editor (I think I'm right about that). They don't take returns and therefore cannot get in most bookstores - that isn't even a problem anymore, however, since brick and mortar is going the way of the dodo bird. I just wish they put out a higher quality product, even as a paperback.

I did have a good editor on the 2 books that I've done for them, and they have assigned an editor for the new Introduction I'm writing for the Rathbone reprint.
