Good night, all.

[Ginny]

Signing off to watch 20/20 about the real Downton Abbey - 'night!

[bk]

Finished one motion picture, a screener of something called Her - and am now watching a new Blu and Ray of Jacques Demy's 3 Places pour le 26th (3 seats for the 26th) starring Yves Montand.

[George]

Just off the phone with Richard Sherman - for Christmas I gave him something he's asked for for several months - a lyric he could set.  He loved it, made a few additions so his music worked better for it, which I'm fine with, and he just sang it to me over the phone - pure Sherman and very much like a Sherman Brothers song, which was my intention.  I think we'll record it soon.

Congratulations, BK!

It was 50 degrees here today!!! ABOVE 0

50 degrees??  Two days ago it was what?  Below zero?

Yup, that's Iowa weather and why we are always watching it

That is wonderful news!

Ditto!

DR George, many thanks for the package, which arrived today.

You're welcome, John!

[Cillaliz]

DR Jeanne, I feel sorry for you. I've lived around people like that, and I could find the right solution, other than moving out.

I've looked many times for better housing, but have found nothing. I even tried a higher price range, thinking that would help. It didn't. I'd have to go MUCH higher. The tricky thing is evaluating the potential for noise. This place was quiet as the grave when I viewed it. Ideally, I'd like a duplex or triplex, ie, lower density, that is not surrounded by other apartments. If someone tells me about a building where management is strict about noise, I'd definitely consider that. Otherwise, how would you know?

Don't know that you'd know about strict management about noise, but you could go by the complex at different hours on different days to see if it's quiet

I almost had a heart attack. My kindle froze. And would not start.

I tried to push the starter button but nothing. I went to amazon help. ANd it said to hold that button for 20 seconds. Nothing happened. It said to recharge for 30 minutes and try again.

When I was about to do this my kindle started to reset itself.

Phew that was almost the worst after Christmas day ever.

I am always scared it could die.

Thankfully all is well now.

Yikes!! I would HATE it if my Kindle died.

I couldn't open my book this morning and had to hold down the button to shut off my Nook and then hold it down again to restart.  It worked.  I know your fear-lol

I have the Kindle app on my PC, my laptop, and my ipad, so I never have to worry about being half way thru a book and the device not working.

Watching a movie I don't think I've seen before. "Call Me Mister" with Betty Grable, Dan Dailey and a very young Bobby Short. Not a great movie by any means, with half of Harold Rome's songs cut, including "South America, Take It Away." But I'm realizing that I really enjoy Dan Dailey. 

........... and he would have enjoyed you, too.

Thanks, DR Jeanne!

I stopped at the office tonight to get an extra power cord and as I came down the elevator, it banged and stopped.  This was at 7:00 at night when no one is in the building except the cleaning people.  I pushed a couple other buttons and kept hitting the door open button and it finally opened.  I went down the stairs the rest of the way.  Whew!  Now that made my heart jump a beat.

Happy Birthday to Jayson!

[singdaw]

bk, thanks for posting the third Sherman video. They have all been delightful. And I am thrilled at the idea of a bk/Sherman song collaboration!!!

[singdaw]

Thanks very much, DR Cillaliz!

~~~No-Stuck-Elevator Vibes for Everyone!!~~~

[singdaw]

That would be very disconcerting, DR Cillaliz. Glad that you weren't stuck in there for a prolonged period of time.

[Cillaliz]

I decided it was a sign that I should stop going to the office while I'm on vacation

[Cillaliz]

I did see one of the cleaning staff on my way out and warned her.  There is a phone in there and cell phones work, so it wouldn't be hard to get help, but who wants to have to do that

[singdaw]

I fear it is too long a journey for me to PAGE 11...

[singdaw]

Oh - not that far, actually. Only 8 more posts.

[singdaw]

But posts of quality?  Aye, there's the rub.     

[singdaw]

Who can come up with quality at 9:30pm?

[singdaw]

DD Zach did his business.  Outside, mind you.  Good boy!!       

[singdaw]

Frenzy on, I shall.  God willin' an' the creek don't rise.

[singdaw]

Apologies to all DRs who have to slog through all of this.

[singdaw]

But very shortly, the goal will have been achieved.

[singdaw]

And then, the world will be our oyster.
