I'm up and awaiting the arrival of she of the Evil Eye, after which I shall do a jog.

Saturday. Really.

And this

Just talked to At&T and was assured that their people are in the neighborhood hawking UVerse and that the soft credit check is standard operating procedure and that these sales reps do ask for it. So, that made me feel a little better. She also said that if I end up having the guy place the order that I can call and do the credit check from my existing account rather than give the info to him. We'll see if he actually comes back or calls.

Well that's a relief, bk!

I watched the Blu-ray of THE MASTER today and all I can say is that I'm glad I rented it rather than bought it. Maybe someone can explain what the point of it all was?

singdaw · « **Reply #38 on:** July 27, 2013, 08:37:01 AM »

Well waddya know? There is now a streaming service called Warner Archive Instant. For PC or Roku. $9.99 per month.

Bruce, glad that all worked out.

Good morning, all.

Hope the AT&T mess gets straightened out today, BK.

Woke up with a headache and an eye still swollen half shut (all the symptoms of a full-blown sinus infection), but the color is better and I feel rested. So those are for the better.

I'm glad something is better

VIBES YOUR INFECTION WILL NOT LAST LONG!!!

Good news.

I just had a lovely phone call with our DR Ginny and I hope the charges don't bankrupt her and Richard!

I thinki I'll go out for a walk around the neighborhood, run a few errands and enjoy the current weather.

DR elmore I'm guessing DR Ginny pays a flat fee for long distance calls

I'm back from the lovely Pequot Library annual book sale in Southport, CT, with just a dozen original cast CDs and a couple of movies. There wasn't a single book there that I needed to acquire, and this is one of the better of the regional library sales.

When I first discovered these sales some 15 years ago, I'd go crazy at them, carting back half a carload of sh stuff I really didn't need, or which really didn't belong in my "collection". It took maybe the next 10 years to play that out and finally have the damn epiphany which let me see I had really been hoarding -- not in the TV show sense, but in the massive quantities of unneeded things of surprisingly little value that I'd been accumulating. Much of that excess is mercifully gone, but there's always more work to be done in whittling things down. I've pretty well learned how to judge what really needs to come home with me, and am truly the happier for it.

Yep, cell phone.

It was fun to talk with DR Elmore, as always!

Pretty library, thanks for the pic.

Good morning, all!

And happy weekend to those who get one. I rarely do, especially when working, because those are the double show days and longer rehearsals. But I've actually had a reasonably quiet morning so far, which is indeed rare.

And that is why, BK, I actually had time to fully enjoy your songs today (which I admit, I haven't always had time to really listen to in the mornings, and I hate only half listening). Love both songs, but as you say the stand alone "It Doesn't Get Easier" is extra special, and so very touching and beautiful.

I'll have to think more about the TOD...

This baffles me. It would be like me taking a break from music. If you're good and making a living at what you're doing then why stop? Keep the drama on that stage...

(end of rant - it's just that kind of day!)

Who are the people in your neighborhood?

Oh, and I'm here finally. Been a crazy week. Won't even say I'll catch up, I'll just move forward.

Greetings from Sacramento!

KevinH · « **Reply #54 on:** July 27, 2013, 11:00:33 AM »

DR Ginny-- I waved when we flew over Ohio and got some strange looks from other passengers!

KevinH · « **Reply #55 on:** July 27, 2013, 11:02:05 AM »

Last night I saw "Sugar" at Music Circus in Sacramento. It was really enjoyable! Brent and Jason are great together. The whole case is wonderful.

KevinH · « **Reply #56 on:** July 27, 2013, 11:02:59 AM »

Nice songs, BK (in the notes)!

KevinH · « **Reply #57 on:** July 27, 2013, 11:03:51 AM »

Love fellow Buffalonian Joanie Sommers! I wonder if DR Kate knew that she had moved back?

John G. · « **Reply #58 on:** July 27, 2013, 11:04:04 AM »

Sounds like fun, KevinH.

John G. · « **Reply #59 on:** July 27, 2013, 11:04:33 AM »

Off to get a shipment of grassfed beef. Hope I have room the freezer for all of it.
