DR elmore VIBES they will be able to repair the elevator by Monday.  I'm guessing if it wasn't done today it won't happen over the weekend.  I'll be very happy if I'm wrong about this.

I think you're right. The thing that really pisses me off is the landlord's nonchalant attitude of "why should my tenants know anything?" No news about a bedbug infestation, no news about the lift . . .

TOD

While in Germany I got the following Blu-rays although haven’t had a chance to watch them yet:

SAMSON AND DELILAH
THE CARDINAL
THE PREMATURE BURIAL/HAUNTED PALACE

Plus a DVD of THE DOLL a 1975 BBC serial written by Francis Durbridge. I used to love his TV serials. This DVD is only available in Germany, where the Durbridge serials were very popular - they used to remake them with German actors.

Also just got and watched a rental Blu–ray of SIDE EFFECTS which bk’s notes intrigued me about last week. I enjoyed the film, especially the first half or two thirds when it wasn’t clear where it was heading but when the film changed gear it became increasingly absurd.

Absolutely you should be notified of these things.

At least you received something.  Did it include an explanation for the delay?

So, I returned some library books, picked up some new ones, and went to the grocery.  I'm now ready to make caramel corm for the AAUW Holiday Bazaar and tacos for dinner tomorrow.

Remember when we rented that 5th floor apartment in a 1-elevator building?  The elevator had been repaired but could not be used because it hadn't yet been inspected.  Glad that was before Richard and I both had known cardiac issues.  Also glad that this month's apartment is on the first floor - just 6 steps into the building.

Repair vibes for DR Elmore's elevator!

Yep. The service man could not repair the motor on site and had to take it to the shop

We just got a 3 out of 5 stars mediocre to lousy review on Amazon by one pissy k. clarke in Berlin who runs the Operetta Research Center.  If any of you DRs who've heard it and liked it could post something positive, that would be nice.

I have totally neglected to get to that.  Sorry, DR Elmore.  Will do so either late tonight or tomorrow.

Ran Sandy's show and it's quite in good shape and we'll hone it next week.  Then Brent came over and we ran his three songs - two from Busker Alley, in which he co-starred - She Has a Way and the title song - and then I Wanna Be Like You from the Jungle Book.  Great to see him, as always, and he's in stellar voice.

Then I had a cup of chicken soup and a quesadilla.  Normally I'd leave in about thirty minutes but I just can't get down there so early so that I have to sit in a cold restaurant eating stuff I don't want to eat.  So, I'll leave at five or even a bit later and even if it were completely insane and took ninety minutes I'd STILL be there early.

Me too!  The ads for the Governor of Virginia candidates are driving me crazy!   I voted today since I won't be back in time to vote Tuesday.
