Has anyone hear heard about "Superfocus" eyeglasses? I saw an ad for it last night on CNN and was intrigued. There are no suppliers by my home and I've been reading both good and bad reviews about them, but I would like to hear a first hand report on them.

Here is the website

Good luck.

DR DRUXY do you prefer Lombard is a big house or a little house?

I think a 1-person play works better in a smaller house.  The theater we're looking at seats 150.

BTW: Am I going to see you in Fort Wayne at the end of next month?

Friday morning greetings!  We are waiting for the window washers.  We've taken down all the curtains and I'm washing the ones that can be.  The downstairs ones that aren't washable are in the dryer on "air only" to get the dust out.  The upstairs ones are going to the dry cleaners.  Of course, since the window crew will also install our screens, the weather has turned cold and blustery  ::)

You mean you're supposed to wash curtains??

Here are two links to some video I shot from my parents apartment today. One from this morning and one from this afternoon. It was supposed to have eased up by now but it hasn't.

I put some music so it won't be to boring

Rant number 2

Glad to hear about the changes to the radio program. I'll finally be able to listen again when things are complete. I don't listen now because I don't have that other piece of time sucking, computer fouling software called Real or Real Player (or Real Piece of S**t as I like to call it). It has screwed up every single computer I've ever had. It's a bloated piece of garbage and I completely understand why Vixdad refused to let Vixmom have it on her computer. If it was only one computer I might let it go but, as I said, it screwed things up on every single computer I have ever owned since the late 90s. I'm glad you will finally be getting rid of that program and moving into the 21st Century.

Interesting.  I've never had a problem with Real Player, or even iTunes...at least, not that I can remember.

Window coverings are back up in the bathroom and my Momcave.  After my shower we're going to tackle our bedroom and the family room.

Hello Everyone:

Bk, Did you do the background music for" How Green Is my Valley"?  It is another favorite of mine.  It also was my Aunt Betty's favorite.

It just came out.  You can read about it here:  http://kritzerland.com/greenValley.htm

Or have I said that already?  I'm tired and hungry, and I'm almost ready to declare it movie time.

When Kate first posted her question, I was thinking that she was asking, "BK, Did you write the background music....?"

I don't know why I thought that.

Now, ChasSmith, do they load themselves? Do dirty clothes fly off the floor and into their bubbling arms? That's the kind of washer/dryer I need.

There was an article in the paper here today about the new baseball/Jackie Robinson movie.  They expressed disappointment that his time in Montreal was not even really mentioned. That is a shame since he was a big deal here.  The writer thought that maybe it was because people in Montreal loved him so much. And it wouldn't have fit with the theme of the movie/ all the problems he had in the US.  Still sad. I was really looking forward to seeing that part of the movie.

Maybe someone in Canada needs to make a movie about the "missing years" of his story. ;)

There was a Jackie Robinson statue in Montreal,  at the white elephant called the Olympic Stadium but somewhere along the way it was removed and has disappeared.


Nice!!!  What a shame it was removed.  I had no idea he was so popular in Montreal.

My father saw Jackie Robinson play here. He also saw Sammy Davis and Harry Belafonte and Lena Horne who were received here in Montreal with open arms.

That would be a nice bonus -- but what I, DR ChasSmith, need, are the kind that finish the load and sort and fold and put the clothes on hangers and put them away.

Thank you, DR Jane.  Now I just have to learn how to use them, and especially how to avoid a mold build-up in the washer door, which I understand is common in front-loaders.

Did a three-mile jog, read the riot act to a production manager - yes, the same cretins who rent out their house to film crews every other week are at it again - and the crew, despite being told they're only parking was WEST of my street, took all the spaces EAST and in front of my house.  Let's just say after our discussion there were n more cars parked here.
