Caught up at least with yesterday's posts:

TCB, I live in San Antonio.

Gus is a strange creature. Why would anyone do that to a cat?

Congrats to Zachary.

That was a cat? ? ?

Or a baby wombat.

[John G.]

Page three wombat dance!

[JMK]

I'm telling you, it's a Chia Pet.

Let's talk apps.  As you know, I just got my first smart phone (iPhone 4s) and I'm having lots of fun with it.  So far I've installed Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, a QR reader, Words with Friends, a med management app from the AMA, NPR News, C-Span Radio, Pandora, goPostal, Open Table & Urbanspoon, and apps from The University of Michigan and Miami University.  What else do you suggest?

I Would Suggest Getting The BOSE AM/FM App .I Think it cost $2.99. You Can access Any Radio Station In The World. It's Great.

And the word of the day is: ALTRUISTIC!

And The Song Of The Day Is:  HEART

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I think I may be heading back to bed in a few to grab a few more winks. Alas, last night's gusty(!) weather made it very hard to sleep for more than 30 minutes at a time. Thankfully, there's been no major damage in this area, but nearby Pasadena has declared a State of Emergency due to downed power lines and the resultant power outages.

Well...

Flixter - For local movie listings.
Yelp! - For restaurant reviews and "opinions".
AccuWeather - For, well, weather.
"This American Life" - If you purchase the TAL app it gives you access to the broadcast archive.
Gourmet Live - It's a app-only weekly version of "Gourmet" magazine.
Shakespeare - All of the Bard's plays and sonnets.
Amazon - I use this when I'm in a brick and mortar store to check possible saving$.
Flashlight - It turns your iPhone into a "flashlight" by bringing up a bright, white screen. You can also program other colors, patterns, flashing, etc.

When I'm in a "new" city, I also download a public transit app or two to help get me around the city. KICK Lite offers a free map of the NYC subway system. There are two user/rider-developed apps for the bus and train system in Chicago that were extremely helpful. Here in L.A., Nextrip has helped me gauge bus arrivals - and just how long I can or can't linger over my dessert.

Oh!

I also use the Starbucks app... It helps me know if there's a place I can possibly charge up my iPhone and have free WiFi access, as well as a bathroom.

Happy Vacation, DR Ben!

[JoseSPiano]

DR elmore - I hope you have a tsuris-free day today.

[JoseSPiano]

Thanks again for all the well wishes, congratulations and Opening Night pic-posting thanks. I can't wait to see the production pics that were taken during our one-and-only/final dress rehearsal.

[JoseSPiano]

And now...

Time to gear up for today's two-show day. Some breakfast. Some coffee. Some more coffee.

Laters...

[Ron Pulliam]

DR JoseSPiano:  D'Oh!  I apologize for not reading your post yesterday more completely.  I had it in my mind that this new job was one you mentioned last week that would have kept you in LA.  Totally did not see "Richmond VA" until I looked again this morning.

Oh, well.   Maybe somebody else will invite you over for spaghetti.

I'm up - thankfully the winds seemed to have died down at some point in the middle of the night, but boy were they strong.  I have to retrieve my voice by three o'clock.  Guess I'll try to get the jog in in about forty minutes.

[Jrand73]

Some sites said Hurricane velocity winds in the LA area today.

[Ginny]

Thank you for this reminder, DR Jose...

[Ginny]

DR Jose - I knew you'd have some good app suggestions!

[Ginny]

DR Doug R - thanks for reminding me about Find Your Car!

[Jrand73]

Not many Grammy Award nominees that I am interested in....

I can't read all of the nominees on the Grammy site.....the bottom of the list that includes soundtracks and cast albums is messed up on my screen....so I don't know the nominees in those categories.

[bk]

Some sites said Hurricane velocity winds in the LA area today.

Then it will probably be the opposite.

This is true.

It's been remarkably quiet so far, thank God!

From Bruce:

Our opening night, save for a couple of lighting problems, could not have gone better. We played to a sold out house of friendly folks.

[Jane]

! During my bus ride home, one car in front of us had the top of their convertible blown off.

 

[Jane]

Opening Night was a BLAST!

I actually felt pretty good when I started off the show tonight. No real nerves to speak of, and I also started to relax and have some fun tonight too. And I think the cast also really eased into their songs as well tonight.

It was a true pleasure handing off the piano to Mr. Sherman so that he could perform, "Chimpanzoo". -And I was truly flattered when I talked to him before the show that he had remembered me from What If?.

Major Kudos to the Cast, and Major Thanks to bk for once again asking me to come along on another adventure!

 

Thanks for the photos.

[Jane]

I still do not know WHAT Gus is.

Gus is a Sphynx cat.  For more info on this hairless breed click here .

[Jane]

Gus is a strange creature. Why would anyone do that to a cat?

Read the link about the breed.  Apparently it happened naturally, to begin with.  I love cats but their hair makes my eyes itch & this would make a good alternative except I would rather not have a cat without fur.

[Jane]

Today is December 1st - I am thinking of some dear lost friends today.

Hugs.

Oh...

Just because....

A Rodgers & Hammerstain classic made ever more "classic":

Do Re Mi

That is hysterical!!
