I had a similar ordeal once, but my only aggravation was that by the time plane took off, I'd finished the book I planned to read on the flight, and all I could do during the actual flight was read the ailrlines literature. Oy!

Been there, done that, learning a critical lesson in so doing. For some years I've viewed air travel time as one of the greatest opportunities for good, solid, uninterrupted reading. I know of no better way to pass and take advantage of the time.

But I majorly blew it once, on a four-hour flight back here from Dallas, by finding myself with but a few chapters left in the book I was reading -- just as they announced an additional one-hour wait on the tarmac before takeoff. DOOMED. And all my own doing. I nursed those chapters as slowly as I could, knowing there was nothing but the flight magazine which usually takes about five minutes to get through, even when there IS something worth reading.

So, never again. Now I always make sure I have at least one whole additional book that I know I can get into should the need arise. And I only read books that are printed on paper. Haven't yet been attracted to anything electronic. Fortunately, I have plenty right here on my shelves to pick from.

This morning, I'm going to the Met. Actually, I'm going to the simulcast of the Met's "Maria Stuarda" as one the leads graduated from the SF Conservatory and actually sang in my church choir before I got there. So, I'm very excited to hear her. When she's in SF, she pops in and sings at church sometimes. It's quite a treat for all of us.

I'm up, barely. I did fall asleep fairly quickly and was only up once during the night. I did leave the heat on.

No one has addressed the TOD.

It's a big subject. And important to me, but I don't know where to begin.

Okay. Just in general:

Art Deco period commercial buildings (stores, restaurants, theaters, offices) and Arts & Crafts (roughly 1910-1930?) style homes.

One of my co-workers is leaving after almost 10 years.
I want to give a little gift. I want to make a cd of "Good-bye" songs.

This is what I have so far

Be Back Soon (Oliver)
So Long Dearie (Hello, Dolly)
So Long Farewell (The Sound of Music)
As If We Never Said Goodbye (Sunset Blvd)
Don't Like Goodbyes (House of Flowers)
Goodbye For Now (Reds)
Goodbye (The Producers)
We Musn't Say Goodbye (Stagedoor Canteen)
The Promise (I'll Never Say Goodbye)

Most of these are gut wrenching ballads. I need some upbeat songs. Any suggestions?

There's always the Peter Cook and Dudley Moore Goodbye-ee song:

Now is the time to say Goodbye
Now is the time to yield a sigh (yield it, yield it)
Now is the time to wend our waaaayeeeeee
Until we meet again
Some sunny day.

Goodbye
Goodbye
We're leaving now,
Tattybye
Goodbye
We wish you all goodbye
Fartatata, fartatata..

Well, it is upbeat

Saturday morning greetings from HOME! We boarded the plane in a timely manner and then sat for 5+ hours as the weather deteriorated. When we finally landed at Newark, we'd missed our connection to Dayton. They got us on a flight to Cincinnati and Rob and Mary Linda picked us up and brought us home. Today we'll retrieve Richard's car from Dayton. By the time I fell into bed, I'd been up for 24 hours.

And I'm sick...

i am so sorry you ar esick but very pleased that you arrived home safely

TOD

I am very partial to Victorian homes - the ones with wrap around covered porches and a rounded turret room and fireplaces in every room

some day when I hit the LOTTO....

Fairfax!

Totally agree. And Bullocks Wilshire. And Max Factor.

I wonder if Miss Hofstetter knows about Max Factor. Maybe I'll find out as I read further...

I like much Frank Lloyd Wright, if a few of the houses are so austere as to leave me cold.

Ennis House is about as majestically other-worldly as you can get, I think. It's incredible.

Always wanted to see the Johnson Wax Building.

By the time we got to the 3-hour mark, we'd pulled away from the gate and taxied to the line-up for a runway that was closed before our turn. Because our original gate was by then occupied by an arriving flight, we were in a holding area. Anyone who chose to get off was bussed back to the terminal. I don't know if anyone opted to leave the plane.

Still, it is nice having you home safe.

Get an ereader. Then you'll have tons of reading options all the time.

I love actual books. And I did not think that I would love my kindle as much as I do. But I honestly cannot imagine living without it now. I still read 50% physical books. You don't have to give that up entirely unless you want to. But it is so handy and then you don't have to carry the book around with you.

Time to take the laundry out of the dryers!

Good by-ee! Good by-ee!
Wipe the tear, baby dear, from your eye-ee!
Though it's hard to part, I know,
I'll be tickled to death to go.
Don't sigh-ee, don't cry-ee,
There's a silver lining in the sky-ee.
Au revoir, old thing, cheerio, bing! bing!
Now, Pooh, toodle-oo, good by-ee!

DR Jennifer, the only problem with an e-reader is that they make you turn them off during take-off and landing. I had only my iPad and found it frustrating to have to stow it during those times. In the future, I will have at least one dead-tree book or a couple of my own magazines.

I think there's a reference to the Max Factor building in Murder at Hollywood High - if not, I'm pretty sure I mentioned it in one of the books. The new book has a bunch of iconic building references and a LOT of food. That's why I'm always hungry when I'm writing this one.

And I forgot I have a little rehearsal directly after that - Guy Haines was asked to sing Corner of the Sky at a little Schwartz soiree that happens a week after OUR Schwartz evening. Since Guy is not singing it at our evening I told the people he could show up. He can't be there for today's rehearsal so I'm filling in.
