Just back from dentist, where the crown prep is absolutely NUTS.  I guess I'd forgotten what an ordeal it was last year.  And of course this would have to be the back tooth, for maximum inconvenience in the chair.  I love the same-day-ness, though -- no temporary to deal with for two weeks.  They put a gel on the bare naked tooth to protect it, I refrain from eating or drinking, and two hours from now I go back for the crown.

When you said you were getting a new crown DR CHAS SMITH, I imagined you were preparing for your coronation.

Congrats to Jane on her milestone. Forgot to past that last night.

It appears Doug R has reached one, too.

The easiest way to get a new crown is to spread some Imperial Margerine on your bread.

There is an elderly woman in back of me who has not been off her cell phone since I sat down.  She calls everyone she knows to tell them she'll be boarding soon.  What did everyone do before cell phones?  They got by perfectly fine.

I too - along with many people in the cast - am having trouble sleeping.

My only guess is that the Sun is in opposition to Neptune which is also trining Mars.....it's a wonder ANYONE can sleep.  Add to that, Mars entering Scorpio and the Sun entering Virgo.....don't waste time TRYING to sleep....get something done.


Darn, now I feel guilty for being able to sleep!

I wonder if she's related to the woman who rides on my train every day who is always yakking on her cell phone and yelling, "I'm on the train...I'm on the train...I said I'm on the train!" 

And this is on the Quiet Car, mind you...

This is actually kind of hilarious, because people seem to think they're the only smart people.  it's like that scene in GUIDE FOR THE MARRIED MAN where the guy is found in bed with his girlfriend and he just denies it with the lady right there in bed with him and his wife sees it right there and he just denies, denies, denies,


Matthew Murray is a fine journalist whose essays I love and have never missed a chance to praise.  He reviews for Talkin Broadway, and Ann Miner, and engaged in a public twitter back-and-forth yesterday in favor of Ann Miner

I tweeted and wrote to him as well, trying to correct some misconceptiions.  He emailed back this morning:  [emphasis added]


Fred, I have done everything possible to stay out of this, and I do 
not appreciate your dragging me into it in this manner, to say nothing 
of CCing Mike and Ann on your correspondence with me.

I believe it would be best if you did not contact me again, through 
any medium (including, but not limited to, e-mail, Facebook, and 
Twitter), for the time being.  Perhaps you and I (sans CC recipients) 
may reevaluate our relationship at some point in the future, but I am 
not comfortable talking with you about this matter, or anything else, 
at the present time.




Tweeting out in public where the whole web can see - in response to someone posting on a private listserv - is doing his best to stay out of it.  No one else is smart, i guess.  :)

When you're in Pittsburgh, please try to have lunch with Ann Miner and become her close friend for a few years, so that she can a few years later turn on you and treat you like a cold piece of garbage.   :)

I was talking with a friend JIm last night about how every odd this is actually, that this happening in FRIENDSHIPS happens like - never.  Maybe once in a great while when a marriage fails.  Maybe when a business relationship fails.  But a friendship, of any sort - just about never, that two people are just friends, the friendship ends, and for whatever reason, instead of the friends just co-existing in the world where they run into each other all the time, one of them (all IMHO of course, though I think it's all documented in emails) actively, continually, viciously, maliciously, evilly, mistreats the other person WORSE than they would other people than they never knew as good friends. 

One wonders at the psychology of it - perhaps it was for those months that it bothered her that  this person who she decided wasn;t her friend any more was still at her chat board and wasn;t leaving - but it was a theater chat board that had hundreds of epople who weren't her "friends" - ever, and I'd been on the chat board before I'd been her friend - but it actually made me now wonder if the horrible, miserable, pathological, mistreatment (because it was sou outside human behavior for friends) was actually an attempt over that time to make it so unpleasant that I'd leave, but the fun was still outweighing the unpleasant ness with her, so i stayed until somehow she found a bizarre excuse to "ban" me, etc, etc, etc. Then the stuff with govt filings started and THEN -only then -  tangible unpleasantness towards her started form my side.

Thanks for letting me get this out.

Don't know if anyone read that, but it felt good to write it out publicly

Oh!  I was going to post Jane's 45000th post plateau, but Photobucket doesn't seem to be working.  I can't log in!  I keep getting the message:

An error occurred during a connection to login.photobucket.com.

(Error code: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap)

I got that message yesterday afternoon...not a good sign.

It's finally fixed!  Here's Jane's 45000th!!

I am off to the dentist in a couple of hours, for a replacement crown.  When I was in for my checkup last month they saw that something had happened to one of the two crowns she'd put in a year ago -- nothing I can detect, but there's a break in it, or "something" that should not have happened.  She's replacing it free of charge.

These are the "same day" crowns.  She prepares the tooth, then I go away for a few hours while the machine makes it.  How in the hell they safely remove the old one is a mystery, since the bonding is supposed to be so good.  I'll be finding out soon enough.

Just back from Fed Ex so everything is done and now I'll just finish the packing.  Keep sending those excellent vibes and xylophones for a safe, secure, and on time flight and for the weather to remain good until I'm home.  So far they're working splendidly.
