I was offered a job as a typist and decided against it.  I didn't want to work in a big room with people typing at desks all day.  I thought that was only in movies & was startled to see it for real.

[Jane]

Oy! such a frustrating afternoon. I need a drink.

I have a bottle of Campari calling my name.

What is Campari?  Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

It is an Italian liquor that's orangy-red in color and is bitter orange flavored.  It's rather good straight up on the rocks or with tonic water.

I seriously doubt i would like this.

That usually means you've had too much to drink already. 

If you are a vegetarian, does that mean you can't drink Beefeater's Gin?

Last night after we finished watching the 1956 Sci Fi movie WORLD WITHOUT END Keith turned on his iPad to read notes about the movie.  After reading a bit of trivia he opened a page on the actresses.  I said I wonder if DR MBarnum interviews any of them.  Two seconds later Keith began laughing and read"According to Mike Barnum......"

I'll drink to that! I have some grand marnier and some brandy, but i'd kill for a gin & tonic.

This vegetarian doesn't drink any Gin or it doesn't matter.

LOL! Yep, I interviewed Lisa Montell from WORLD WITHOUT END!

[Jane]

Funny that she was the first cast member Keith looked at and just two seconds after I made my comment-perfect timing.

She sounds like an interesting person.

AOL keeps kicking me out today.

I'm sure you've been kicked out of better places. 

How are you feeling today?

And I have been kicked out of much worse places!













I am feeling better and better every day.  I just wish my leg would cooperate.

So glad to hear you're feeling better, TCB!

I'm so glad I just checked my calendar. I have an eye appointment at 9:30 tomorrow morning.

David Clair was my typing teacher, which I just remembered I first took in Jr High, not high school, although I did later take a class in high school.

My first typing teacher was Mark Battle.  I had him for Typing I and II for both my freshman and sophomore years.  For Typing III (I may have waited for this until I was a senior, but I don't remember now), I had Deb Emery.  In Typing III, we got to work on an actualy Word Processor!  It was a huge machine all its own called the Vydec Text Editor.  It was really cool.  It even used 8-inch floppy discs!

Here's a small picture of the whole thing:



It used a Daisy wheel printer and could print up to 500 wpm!

[George]

My high school typing teacher was Mrs. Zuckerman. My best typing score was 70 wpm.

I think that the fastest that I ever got was about 85-90 wpm.

[George]

Well, my work hasn't been in vain. The Library of Congress may do a Victor Herbert concert in the fall and that would help promote the Herbert Collection. I am very excited about this.

Great news, Larry!  Good luck!

[George]

Monday morning greetings!  We had a nice visit from Rob and Mary Linda last night and a spur-of-the-moment dinner of Chinese take-out.  They went home with all the leftovers, so should have some nice lunches to take to work for a couple of days.  Speaking of work, Paramedic Rob starts a new job today.  He's doing the same kind of work, but with a competitor who offered better equipment, better schedule, better benefits, and, above all, more money.

Good Luck to Rob on his first day!

[George]

Bryan also began his job as a resident today.  The first week seems to be mostly an introduction to the job.

Good Luck to Bryan on his first day!

[George]

And the word of the day is: ADULATE!

You say ADULATE
I say UNDULATE

Let's call the whole thing off!

Oy! such a frustrating afternoon. I need a drink.

I have a bottle of Campari calling my name.

What is Campari?  Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

It is a bitter liquor. I like with soda or in a Negroni with vermouth and gin.
But I opened a beer when I got home. It was cold. That gave it the edge.

It is for people who don't like sweet.

Thank you to DRs Jane and George for the "first day" wishes for Paramedic Rob.

OK, here's another attempt to post my furnace photo:

LEG COOPERATING VIBES FOR DR TCB!!

I'm very pleased you are feeling better.

Vegetarians don't drink alcohol?

I had sweet tonight in the form of Harvey's Bristol Cream Sherry.

That should have been so, not or.

I don't like Gin.  It is many vegan's who avoid certain alcoholic beverages.  When I say many I'm excluding Craig.

And Ditto! for Bryan on his first day.

Over the weekend, I was in the bathroom washing my hands, and i turned around to dry them on the towel; and i  suddenly realized I was standing unaided.  It was kind of thrilling for me.  My therapist was not nearly as thrilled.
