It's supposed to be 68 degrees here today. My day is pretty different. I'm waiting for the piano tuner, who is only a little late at this point. At noon we have our annual Historic Preservation Commission/City Council lunch and meeting. Our commission doesn't ask the council for money and we don't make any embarrasing headlines, so it's essentially a free lunch, followed by our HPC meeting. I do have to get some motions written and filed for the trial that's starting on the 20th. If it's not too crazy at the office, I may come home and work on them here with the windows open

I was watching THE UNTOUCHABLES last night, and who should show up as "The 90-Proof Dame" but Miss Joanna Barnes.....who was also in THE PARENT TRAP.

I always liked Joanna. She is so beautiful.....and she can really be funny.....as in AUNTIE MAME as Gloria......

I remember Sally Cato's brother exclaiming after the fox hunt: "Hot damn! My sister's gonna bust a gut!" after Mame was being hailed as a superb horse woman becasue she, somehow, "rescued" the Fox after a wild chase on her horse (a killer loaned to her by none other than Miss Sally Cato, herself).

Actually I should be working on them while I'm waiting for the piano tuner. But I'm thinking brewing coffee may be a better idea

The Piano Tuner - almost sounds like a song.

I had the strangest dream last night. I was driving my brother's van and taking myself to the airport in Chicago to return home from some all expense paid meeting. As I was unloading my bags, I thought "How on earth am I going to get the van home if I take the flight" So, since the ticket didn't cost me anything, I decided to drive home. As I was about to pull out of the garage type thing I was in, I saw a guy from my home town and he said he needed a ride home. So he started driving, because he claimed he knew Chicago. Then he asked if I had an ID he could use because he lost his license to drive and his license as a lawyer (he's not a lawyer in real life). The next think I knew we were in Indiana, totally driving the wrong way. It was 2:30 in the afternoon and I needed to make a more than 12 hour drive and be in court the next morning. The whole thing was so ridiculous I woke up

TOD: I love much of the Sherman Brothers' work, but I have a special place in my heart for the score to "The Slipper and the Rose". I have three favorites from that score:

Suddenly It Happens
Secret Kingdom
He Danced With Me/She Danced With Me

From "Mary Poppins", it's:

Chim-Chim Cheree
I Love to Laugh
Jolly Holiday

While waiting I pre-ordered the Original Cast Recording for ONCE. It will be released on March 13 and is only $9.99 on Amazon

You can listen to the entire cast recording here via NPR

The piano tuner is here. So far the cats aren't running and hiding, wonder if that will change once she really gets going

Cillaliz · « **Reply #39 on:** March 06, 2012, 07:42:31 AM »

The cats aren't even trying to hide from the piano tuner. I guess next to the piccolo, this isn't even annoying

I don't recall the first Sherman Brothers song I heard, but the one that seems to stay with me is "Feed the Birds" from MARY POPPINS.

It snowed again last night and a light dusting is falling--through sunshine, of course. It's Portland, after all.

DR CILLA LIZ - the Dream O Matic 6000 says this dream anticipates some unsettled travel plans in your near future, do not leave those plans to someone else, but do them as you want them done. You are also concerned that others may use your work as their own - though you are secure in what you know to be so, law wise. Anxiety about being on time for court also suggests that you finish your work on time, and wish others would be as punctual.

JRand, do you do horoscopes, too?

We are having very strange weather this week. Sunday night, this dippy broad on one of our local stations predicted that the temp was going to drop about twenty degrees Sunday night and we would have snow by the morning commute. Instead, yesterday was a beautiful sunny day with temperatures in the high forties.

Last night the weather guy said there was a chance for a little rain overnight (last night) and then we were in for a warming trend, with the temp climbing to 60 by Friday. This morning I got up and it has snowed overnight.

Yahoo search engine has the photos of the Sherman Brothers reversed. Richard's photo appears for Robert's obituary.

Got my invite today to Racheal Ray's South By Southwest party. It's a strange but fun one: All the alcohol and food are free, but you have to pay for water. Jimmy Cliff is going to perform.

I think i'm going to give myself some HHW vibes.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I feel like crap. My nose is running non-stop. I feel sick. And that isn't even my problem.

My waterbed has a leak. What's worse it is on the floor. I don't really understand how this is possible. Because the bed actually holds the water if it leaks. It's weird because there is only a very small amount of water in the actual bed. Around all the sides. But very little. But the floor on one side is all wet. Not a lot of water. But just enough to make the carpet all wet. I have towels everywhere outside and inside the bed.

I'm just not sure what to do since i don't feel well. I don't think i'll be able to find where the lead is coming from. Also my bed size (double) is extremely hard to find (or it was last time this happened quite a number of years ago. I think i have to take all the water out. Which i don't feel like doing.

Guess i will have to sleep on the couch. Oy. I wish i knew what could have made the leak.

Jennifer, you can have some vibes from me, too. Dry nose and dry bed vibes.

I had originally wrote "LEAKY BED VIBES" for DR Jennifer, but I didn't think that what was desired.

But I do think that Leaky Bed Vibes would be a great song title. It can be sung to the tune of Sleepy Time Gal.

TOD:

I'm sure that the first Sherman Bros song I heard came from MARY POPPINS. More than likely it would have been Chim Chim Cheree.

And I'm a hugh fan of their OVER HERE score.

I'm up. Galley arrived and looks fine - they did the copyright page correctly - a first. So, I've sent it on to Grant just to check it out. The cover is still a problem, but Grant's out right now so questions can't be answered until he's back.
