Three!

[Jennifer]

The wind is blowing like crazy here too. Unbelievable. Do not like!

[Jennifer]

Also we are supposed to get our first snow of the year (which could be a lot). I really hope the forecast changes.

[Jennifer]

I am going to spend the rest of the afternoon reading an e-book!

[Jennifer]

The more e-books I read the more I realize I love reading on my kindle. So convenient.

[bk]

I awoke at eleven-thirty - so nine and a half hours of blessed sleep.  I guess if I'm to jog now might be as good a time as any.

[Jennifer]

I finished (Friday night) the 2nd season of HOMELAND. Amazing. I would highly recommend this show. I wish I could see season 3 now. But I guess i'll have to wait many months until the dvd comes out.

[Jeanne]

Hello, everyone.

[Jeanne]

I hope DR George is still sleeping.

[Jeanne]

I wish I was still sleeping.

From your response I'm not sure if I explained it properly.

The swimmers are competing against other swimmers, with comparable times. Only the boys and girls are mixed together (swimming against each other).  Also since these are the first meets sometimes the seed times  (times the coaches send as the swimmers times) are not accurate (for instance they put my niece at 33 seconds for butterfly when her race time was 24 seconds).

What I meant by "they don't swim against each other" is that say for example for butterfly. There were 25 heats.  If you race in heat 22 and are the fastest they still have to compare your time to the other 25 heats. So sometimes there are kids in your heat who are not that great.  Or sometimes you could win your heat, yet there could be 10 people faster than you in the other heats.

In summer swimming you know right away if you win or not. It is girls vs girls only. Coaches decide which are there fastest swimmers to put in the first heat.

It actually wasn't that interesting to watch yesterday except for when my niece was swimming.

Some friends of mine will be coming into town soon, but they're not the sort who plan ahead and I never know just when they're coming. Once they called and said they'd be here in two hours and would like to take me to lunch. Nice idea, but I had scheduled a visit from the gas company to check out the heater and had to stick around. They bought lunch and brought it here. I have a couple things on my calendar which I'd rather not change, so I hope it works out smoothly.

[Jeanne]

Nice article on your "comeback", Tom. Or should we call it something else?

[Jeanne]

Feel-good vibes to all.

[Jeanne]

TTFN.

[Jennifer]

Thanks for the comments on the Broadway World article.  I had to give the theater permission to go with the cripple comeback story.  We will probably sell out the run anyway, but I figured I might as well help the only way I could.

Nice that they asked for permission first, and I like how they simplified your story.  I'm very happy you are doing what you love again.

Nice story. Glad DR Jane commented on because somehow i missed it when you posted it.

[John G.]

Nice article, TCB.

[ChasSmith]

I am hoping that today's rehearsal will not be quite the marathon that yesterday's rehearsal turned out to be.  The theater provided pizza and salad for us around 3:30, so I guess they figured they had paid us for the entire day.  Also, since they are giving us all of Thanksgiving Day off, I guess they need to work us to death before that day.

Are there no prisons?  Are there no workhouses?

[ryacko]

Happy Sunday, everyone!

Bk, I'm very glad to hear the preview went well. And no doubt, the tweaks you make will be wonderful.

I'm off tonight to see my friend, Gordon Goodman, in "Barrymore" here in L.A. Gordon and I did INTO THE WOODS with Leslie Uggams some years back (he as Cindy's prince, I as the Baker), and we just worked together again this year in PARADE.  He's a perfect Barrymore.

And now back to our regularly scheduled laundry day. Hi ho, the glamorous life...   

[Ginny]

Sunday afternoon greetings!  We are back from a very cold trip to Lima.  We drove through some snow flurries on the way home.

[Jennifer]

I am so proud of niece. They just posted the meet results. 88 girls swam.

She got 2nd place for front crawl streamline (put your arms in front of your head and kick), 11th for butterfly, 6th for Individual Medley (one fly, one back, one breast and one free). And for her least favorite stroke (which she thinks she is bad at but is improving a lot) breast stroke she got 29th place. Yeah!

[Jane]

The more e-books I read the more I realize I love reading on my kindle. So convenient.

I have the paperback of "The Little Prince" sitting here to read for my book group.  The print is very light and not easy to read so I have been putting off reading it.  The book is free from my library and my only other option is to purchase an eBook.  I'll read it next week.

Forgot to mention it yesterday, but I loved the song lineup for the Christmas Kritzerland show. Would love a CD of that one.

[John G.]

Started watching "A Perfect World." Good cast, but it could probably stand to lose 15 minutes out of the first 40.

[Druxy]

Fantastic day at the Wizard World Austin Comic Con. I sold many, many books.
