And, he was able to put the dish on the garage roof, on the side/back of the house.  You can't see it from the front at all.  Now THAT'S what I'm talking about.

However, in order to get the cable into that room, I had to empty the closet in my office ....the closet where I've thrown all the misc stuff I didn't know what to do with for the past 7 years.  YIKES!   So, I'm taking advantage of it.  I went to Home Depot and bought some Martha Stewart cubby hole shelving units and am putting them in the closet.  I'll have them three wide and 5 tall, so roughly three feet by five feet.  I've got the bottom unit put together, installed and nearly filled already.  I wasn't sure I needed the others, but I know I do.  It's amazing what  little organization can do.  I'm finding lots of my photography stuff, I bought a ton of frames back when I was into it.  I found tons of photos that I thought I had lost along the way.   Think I may take a break from working and look through some of them while I watch tv

After all this work vibes you are happy with directv.

So that was the excitement of my day.  I had a roast beef in the freezer, so I made roast beef and rice for dinner.

That's good!

I really do need to go to the grocery store.  Maybe I'll do that tonight. The store I like to go to is closed on Sundays

I've had it in the past. I'm just getting used to where the channels are. I think I'll be very happy once I'm used to it.  There are plusses and minuses to it.  I'm keeping cable internet and cable phone.  Cable is the best internet service around here so it's the best of both worlds.  And I have basic cable at the office, so if there's something I really want to see that isn't on Directv, I can watch it there

I know this is just thrilling to read about, but hey, they are posts!

I am extremely happy I'm organizing that closet.  It's like Christmas finding things I've been looking for and not finding for ..heck years

[Cillaliz]

Brrr... I better go shut some windows

[elmore3003]

DR cillaliz, that's a fantastic outcome!

I had equal success with iTunes support. They emailed me back and told me to get the latest download from the iTunes/Apple page. I did, and everything I had downloaded suddenly showed up in my new iTunes. I'm surprised because i recently got a new update on my computer but i am very happy now.

[Jane]

I had three exciting things happen today.

1.  A book I have been waiting months and months for became available this morning just as I needed a new book to read having read my entire book during my sleepless night.

2. Another book I have been waiting even longer for, and especially want to read, became available just a little while ago.

3.  I was able to put a book on my hold list that hasn't been published yet., the very first time this has been possible with my eBook library.  I am 85th on the queue so it will be a long, long time before I read the current John Grisham book-lol

Yesterday I found out that a man who used to paint in my building is really Al Capone's nephew.  Cool

That is cool. Does he have any memories of his uncle?

[elmore3003]

I've made a friend on the FB Forgotten Musicals page, a Boston College student named Jackson, and I've suggested he should check out HHW. He likes old TV, old musicals, and old movies, and I think he would be a great addition

[John G.]

Jeez, doesn't anyone consider plays from other countries besides the British Isles and the US?

Good point, though you and I both had Brecht on our lists. PLaywrights right and left I forgot

Siswe Banzi Is Dead
No Exit
A Raisin in the Sun
Ring Around the Moon
Riders to the Sea
Playboy of the Western World
Juno and the Paycock
Man and Superman (and plenty other Shaw works)

Wow! Good photo, Kevin!

I don't look 16 lbs lighter!

That's because the camera is below you...you have to have it above you so that you're looking up.  I remember reading an interview with Angela Lansbury and she said that that's how she always poses for pictures.

Barbara Cook, too.

Grammy nomination vibes for Kritzerland.

Hi from Chicago!!   I'm visiting my pal Angela for the weekend.  It's been fun seeing the sights.  Tonight I'm on my own as Angela is in a production of "The Mikado" (which I saw last night) so I'm seeing the national tour of "Once".  Today, we went to the The Art Institute and of course, I saw the original Seurat's great painting,which was really great. Tomorrow I'm seeing a play called "To Master the Art" about Julia Child.  I believe it's locally written and has been playing for a while, I'm excited to see that. 

Of course, there has been pizza consumed and things like that.  I'll check in again soon.

Had a great day on the barbecue tour with four places all with excellent food and really nice people.

Sounds like fun. Love that city.

DR Matthew, my friend Steve MacIntyre is one of the alternates in the tour of ONCE. I love the production.

The weather was so warm here today. I love it when I can wear a t-shirt outside in mid-October.

I took my niece to bike at the lake today. The Fall colors are so magnificent there.  She was a bit nervous about biking around the actual lake (because she fell and hurt herself the first time we tried doing it). It is gravel and not really ideal for inexperienced riders.

Anyway I have taken her by bike to the park at the lake quite a few times. There is an entry where it is very wide and not near the lake. So she is comfortable doing that.  But she wasn't sure if she would be able to ride around where the actual lake's bike path is.

First we stopped to admire the ducks and i took some nice pictures. Then we stopped at the park. Then we ran into her homeroom teacher/English at school who seemed very nice.  Then we biked around the lake. We only went half way and then turned around (there are two paths at the section). So we looped around so we could go home by the bigger path. IT took 1 1/2 hours to do just this as she kept wanting to stop and look and collect leaves.

Thankfully she didn't fall this time. Although she did remember falling. But I told her i thought that she could do it.

Ginny, have you ever considered that Michigan football may be responsible for your heart problems?

Quite possible, DR TCB.

By any chancing would someone here have the soundtrack recording of "Some Came Running" that was released by Film Score Monthly? I am looking to get a copy of the vocal version of To Love and Be Loved which was sung in the background. This release seems to be the only one that has the vocal by an unnamed (as far as I know) mens group. Thanks.

I haven't talked to him yet, but our building maintenance man said he'd have him come visit with me because I'm a history buff.  The story I was told is that his dad didn't want to be a part of the family business, so to speak, so he moved to Nebraska.  When the painter was a kid, he was sent to Wisconsin to the family's "camp" (whatever that is). They wanted him to stay there and work with them, but his dad wouldn't let him.  I'm assuming from this story that he has memories of him

Happy Saturday, All!

I'm on a bit of a hit and run here in the next few days, as I try and organize for a trip back east to Philly to be the best man at my brother's wedding. Hoping maybe to add a trip to NYC, even for a day and catch a show, see some friends, and I wouldn't say no to an audition either.   .

I wish I had the focus to really list my favorite plays, and I'm happy to see that many were already mentioned.
Here are a few that come to mind right off the top, some I've seen, some I've done:
THE REAL THING
THE ROYAL FAMILY
NOISES OFF
LEGACY OF LIGHT
SYLVIA

and there are too many classics to mention.

I hope everyone has a great 3 day weekend.

[Cillaliz]

I do believe it, mostly because there are lots of stories of real gangsters who used to come here from Chicago
