Back from a long but fun lunch and then picked up a package.

Now I hope to do nothing but relax.

BK:

Is anything Kritzerland-ish scheduled for late October?

I'm flying to L.A. Friday Oct. 19, tentatively returning Saturday Oct. 27, but wanted to check with you before finalizing that. I think your shows are always on Sundays (?) and I'm tied up with the HTF folks on Sunday the 21st, but I MIGHT be able to swing sticking around if there was to be one on the 28th. That, or anything going on, please advise. Hotel will be the Marriott Burbank Airport.

The Social Security agent I saw on July 30, who never returned my accountant's calls, processed my account on July 31, and my benefits begin on Oct 17! I just called my accountant and told him it was settled; we both agree that she could have at least told us it was no longer in quesion.

I don't get MY check until October 26!!! You first!!!

Age before beauty, DR JRand62!

Then why did I get mine before either one of you?

Thank goodness the Mariners game is on right now. I was afraid I would have to listen to Gov. Christie's speech.

Tonight's feature is an old favorite from college days: "Cannery Row" with Debra Winger and Nick Nolte. I hope the movie holds up. I think I saw it about eight or 10 times back in the days when cable was young.

Here's the huge crowd that gathered on Middletown's city plaza to honor Olympic champion Kayla Harrison:

And we needed one more American flag, so this guy dropped in with one:

John G. · « **Reply #134 on:** August 28, 2012, 06:33:07 PM »

That's nice, Ginny. Glad to see her -- or any of our Olympiads -- so honored.

Jane · « **Reply #135 on:** August 28, 2012, 06:35:27 PM »

Cool how they did the flag.

Ginny · « **Reply #136 on:** August 28, 2012, 06:39:00 PM »

The festivities for Kayla Harrison were great! Richard and I stood in front of the Middletown Arts Center and watched the parade go by, then walked over to a shady spot on the plaza to wait for its arrival and the ceremony. There were too many politicians, many of whom had no idea how to speak into a microphone. It was hard to hear a lot of them. Kayla was presented with many gifts, including an AK Steel hardhat, swag from Miami University and Cincinnati State, a key to the city, etc. The Middletown Community Foundation has established a scholarship in her name with a corpus of $10,000. The big surprise of the evening was the appearance of Middletown's only other Olympic champion, basketball player Jerry Lucas, who presented Kayla a huge bouquet of red, white, and blue flowers.

Here are students from the elementary school that Kayla attended leading the Pledge of Allegiance. The one right in the middle, who's about a beat behind the rest of the group, is the daughter of my friend Suzy. Kayla high-fived each of them afterwards.

We also figured that she was a student there when Richard was teaching gifted math and science in another wing of the same building.

The October show is the first Sunday of the month, as is the November show. But we can certainly put together a little dinner event while you're here.

Finished with my viewing.

bk · « **Reply #144 on:** August 28, 2012, 08:00:42 PM »

I'm still feeling way too tired - don't really know why - maybe another good night's sleep will finally do the trick.

bk · « **Reply #145 on:** August 28, 2012, 08:01:16 PM »

Don't feel like watching anything else and I've done all the work I feel like doing, so I guess I'll just relax and play and listen to music.

John G. · « **Reply #146 on:** August 28, 2012, 08:26:06 PM »

Well, I'm not gifted with BK's way of describing film transfers, but I have to say that the transfer of "Cannery Row" was a major disappointment. When I saw the movie in the theaters, twice, it dripped with the brightest, wettest red I can remember in a movie. It was as if the whole thing had been painted in the glow of red neon. The DVD is all sepia and golden light, as if it had an intentional nostalgic look. The movie still entertains, but visually it's just not the same.

Today was our primary election. I voted for one person. I voted against several, though.

You've already undone your vacation, Vixmom?
