That is so fraught with possibilities. But I hope things are going a bit better.

Anyone who has a woot account -- DR Sandra entered a t-shirt design contest. I surely would appreciate it if you could vote for her entry if you are so inclined.

http://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/63851/lost-boys-indeed

The topic is "Lost in a Good Book"

#256?  I will try and vote.  I can't really read the map.  Please explain the "lost boys indeed".

Our new AC is installed and doing a great job.  The new unit is much bigger than the old one, but much quieter.  That's good, because it sits right outside our bedroom window.  Scott and Rob have left for now to go take care of others' AC, ice machine, and commercial freezer problems.  They'll be back next week to finish up the heating part of the job and clean up the mess they've made in the basement.

Air!!!  Congratulations!

Jane, the topic is "Lost in a Good Book" and her design is Peter Pan and a lost boy looking at a map of Neverland.

Back from some chicken tenders and a bagel, then picked up a package of postcards from the East Coast Singer.

That's it.  I wasn't sure if the map was of Neverland.

Better than letting me believe I will all be recovered at three months.

And better than telling NOT to continue the PT...

Hang in there, DR TCB!

DR Ginny do you feel they cut you off from PT to soon?

No, DR Jane, I've never had any experience with PT, but being told to continue is a lot more optimistic than not.

LOL DR Ginny.  It is insurance that often pulls the plug on PT, not a good doctors.    I was lucky I had an excellent surgeon who began PT very quickly and insurance that kept me going for so long.

One thing the surgeon said that was good to know:  He said to be prepared if I should get a bad cold or the flu, my left leg might revert back to its lowest point.  And it will take the longest time to recover.

I said I was certainly glad that he warned me.

In the Wow! They Actually Released That Department, Amazon has this.  This album has haunted me since my sister got it one day after hearing the group on The Mike Douglas Show.  It's also the album that prompted BK's famous comment of "I would never write a song with a missing "g" at the end," when I noticed "Driftin'" on the album was written by B. Kimmel (Bobby, it turns out).  I highly recommend this to anyone who likes/liked The Mamas & The Papas or Free Design.

BK, you should get it just for the liner notes--you will love the details about late sixties L.A.'s recording scene.  Several synchronicities for you, too, including Dinah Shore and Stu Phillips.

Interestingly, I was so fascinated by this album I managed to track down Perry Botkin, Jr, who contributes absolutely insanely Baroque orchestrations.  He had absolutely no memory of the dates--it was just another job for him.  The liner notes, written by one of the surviving members, talk about the album being partially written at Botkin's Laurel Canyon A-frame.  Funny.

First I registered.
Second I clicked on Shirts
Third I clicked on Derby (under shirt.woot)
Fourth I scrolled to the bottom of the t-shirts pics to "Vote" and read...

"Only users who have made at least one purchase at any Woot site may vote in the Derby."

I have been informed by DR Sandra that the voting for the shirts has already closed. I didn't know that. So....

Never mind.

Finished liner notes and sent them off.  Listening to an upcoming release's raw mp3s - amazing music by one of my favorites.  There are a handful of damaged cues, but we're getting elements from the studio so they can be replaced by better quality.

After he's done I shall sit on my couch like so much fish and watch stuff.  Yesterday, I got the first series of Wallander movies - not the TV series with Krister Henricksson, but four movies based on the novels and starring the co-star of the Beck films.  I'm looking forward to seeing them.

I hope my grand nephews are free on the date I picked.  Actually it is the date their aunt is free.  I know my brother is free though I would like to see him more than once.  We also have to go to San Clemente this trip which is at least an hour and a half each way.
