Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of the amusing passing parade, and now it is time for you to post until the passing cows come home.

Boston Marathon bomber manhunt: One suspect dead, second on the run, police say

"After three days of investigations, the Boston Police Department has identified one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects as Ivy League student, Sunil Tripathi.

Tripathi, who is identified by a white cap in the FBI photos released late this week, was a philosophy major at Brown University, not far from Boston. He comes from a well-to-do family; his father is a rich software engineer.

The student went missing last month without a trace. The FBI became involved in the case, even though it was a presumed suicide.

Right before his disappearance, explosives were found near Brown University, however, they were destroyed in a controlled detonation. Police have yet to implicate anyone in the bomb scare.

That is all.

No new Filichia on Friday yet.

Good morning, all!

Today is a day for laundry, dealing with a singer's agent/manager and, in general, a lot of things I would rather do another time.

DR Ben, thank you, and another thank you to our DR KevinH, for the passport information. I think there's a photo place at 82nd and Amsterdam to do my passport photos, so I'll check them out this morning as well. Otherwise, it's a walk to 88th and Broadway.

I have nothing else to report.

Ben · « **Reply #6 on:** April 19, 2013, 05:03:43 AM »

You're welcome. It's much easier (and a bit cheaper) to do it on line. If you go through the Post Office you have to pay extra fees for processing. If you fill in the forms on line and send in the picture you only have to pay the fee to the government.

It's a chilly grey day and Anthony has a cold. I'll do the laundry tomorrow instead of Anthony doing it today.

Health vibes to Anthony!

John G. · « **Reply #9 on:** April 19, 2013, 05:10:28 AM »

Good morning, all.

Vibes for Anthony and all under the weather.

Scary news to wake up to. Continued vibes for those in Boston.

Ben - Also, if he has a cold, a good reason not to let him do the laundry just for practical reasons of germs, Ben - not just for being considerate.

That concludes our medical advice for today.

Been out for the morning cappuccino. The coffee shop does very tasty cheese and roasted tomatoe toasted sandwiches which I couldn't resist again - especially as I'd only had oats for breakfast which always leaves me feeling hungry mid-morning.

For no logical reason - with Daniel Craig going from SKYFALL to Broadway's BETRAYAL by Pinter, if anyone's looking for a sales pitch for the Broadway Pinter play which goes backwards. this could really work.. Don't Scott Rudin and Mike Nichols have people reading here?

Tune of SKYFALL

This is the end
But since it’s Pinter let’s pretend
Rules of drama are his to bend
Pray our play starts to trend

For this is the end
Start with the story’s closing moment
Like Merrily with pauses
We’ll soon see the causes

Let the plot fall
Watch it crumble
Then we’ll go back
To when they came together

Let this guy fall
Yes he tumbles
Sales will stand tall
They’ll sell great together
(With Rafe Spall)
That’s this fall

thanks to all the folks for the comments on the Carol Channing - Johnny Depp spoof-lyric stuff.

If that becomes a real story again, maybe I should look at the old computer drive, that story had real legs a while back - Depp was and is always such an adventurous actor, that he says stuff you think is wild, but it seems he really means he'd like to try it if someone would do it. When you "parody" someone like that, you do it with such admiration not jeering at all.

TCB and Danise - Thanks to both of you for sharing the stories of your rebounds from terrible situations to your current better outlooks. Danise, I'm so happy things are at least starting to go your way. And Tom, this is so cool that you were able to put aside enough for this trip, glad things are looking so much better these days given how bleak they had been.

HHW has been a continued blessing. This gives me hope for the future. You're a real inspiration and I'm going to try to use your rebounds as a guide to make lemonade out of lemons. Thank you for sharing your hard times and your climbs back. I've really needed this right now.

Good morning, all.

Coffee. Banana. Coffee. In roughly that order.

Ben · « **Reply #22 on:** April 19, 2013, 05:49:43 AM »

I had a banana also at approximately 5ish AM. It was mixed in with my oatmeal, raisins, cinnamon and walnuts. I added a cuppa coffee and called it breakfast.

Ben · « **Reply #23 on:** April 19, 2013, 05:50:01 AM »

Wow, the news from Boston is fast and furious!

I have been glued to the TV since 7am. I had to tear myself away to go to the laundromat.

I have to go to the post office to pick up the DS-82 form I need, so I'll walk there while the laundry is in the dryers.

No idea what I will watch or listen to this weekend.

Good Morning,

So sad about what is happening in Boston.

I hope it is resolved very soon.

Kate · « **Reply #27 on:** April 19, 2013, 06:54:19 AM »

Have lots to do today.

KevinH and brother Rick and niece Chrissy are on their way to Baltimore for my nephews
Tryouts.

I hope they all have a safe trip.

I just pray for my nephew to be safe during his tryouts.

I love the Leonard Cohen song "Hallelujah"

Also Jeff Buckley's version.

I am learning to play and sing it.

I have read many opinions about the meaning of it.

Anyone have any ideas?

Kate · « **Reply #29 on:** April 19, 2013, 06:59:12 AM »

Also has anyone read "Murder At Hollywood High" ?
