then back to the hospital to check on Tally

...and, how is she, DR Vixmom?

 she didn't break anything but she was dehydrated  and disoriented we are not sure how long she was there but best guess is 12 -18 hours

[Jeanne]

I LOVED I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS!

I enjoyed SCOUNDREL TIME, too.

(I'm too lazy today to think of titles on my own.)

[Ginny]

We are watching women's curling on CNBC.  One of the sweepers was born here in Middletown, OH, and lived here until she was 9.

[Ginny]

Vibes for Tally!

[vixmom]

Her daughters  were there today and  I think it has become plain to them that she cannot continue living alone

[Jeanne]

Will she be in the hospital long?

[Jeanne]

Ah.

[vixmom]

I read an interesting article in this month's SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN about how things we think of as unlikely, like winning the lottery, aren't really so unlikely after all. It's written by a mathematician, but it's easy enough to skip over the math if you prefer.

dang maybe I should have bought the megamillions lotto ticket after all

Good morning, all! I slept late and this morning I had a lot of emails concerning the ROBERTA recording sessions to deal with.  I took a vocal score to Encores! last week for our rehearsal pianist, who wasn't there, and this morning - the day before our first rehearsal -  he asked about his score and what we're rehearsing tomorrow. Oy!

DR TCB, I like your new avatar, and I don't want you retiring from acting.  There. I've said it. I cannot force you, cajole you, or bribe you, nor do I wish to.  I simply think it would be a loss to you and the community.  You're too young to retire.

The best biography i've read lately is Paul Kildea's Benjamin Britten: A Life In The Twentieth Century. I like biography, autobiographies not so much, particularly the me-me-me self-serving ones. Some of the other ones that I liked very much:
Charmed Circle: Gertrude stein & Company (Mellow)
Jane Austen: A Life (Tomalin)
Act One (Hart)
George Gershwin: His Life and Work (Pollack)
Secret Muses: The Life of Frederick Ashton (Kavanaugh)
Marie Antoinette:The Journey (Fraser)

Thank you, DR elmore, for the comments about my retiring.  It would probably be easier to give up breathing.

TCB,  Elmore wrote this better than I could hope to -  even if this is not a production you  are interested in being part of I hope you will reconsider any thoughts of retiring from the stage

Someone has to win it.

Found out yesterday that my elderly parishioner was found by her neighbor lying on her kitchen floor and was rushed to the hospital  so I was there last night

That's wonderful that you were there for her.

Just found out that a friend of mine from college days, Angelo Henderson, who went on to win a Pulitzer Prize and became a well-known radio personality in Detroit, has died. No details on cause of death. Nothing.

Had seen Angelo since I graduated back in 1983. But I followed his career.

That's sad. He was young.

That also means when I was bullying you about the Pulitzer in 1985, you were just a baby!

And after 29 years, I'm still irked at those broads for calling the Journal about it!

I bought the tickets; I just need the damned win!

[John G.]

Off to Kristin Chenoweth. But first, a cocktail. 

[John G.]

The Middletown Journal was the first daily I worked for back after graduation, Elmore.

[John G.]

Prayers for your friend, Vixmom.

[John G.]

Thank you all for your thoughts.

then back to the hospital to check on Tally

How is she doing?  I hope she wasn't on the floor too long before the neighbor found her.

Poor lady.  I guess she didn't wear a call button.  I hope she gets one now and Vibes that with hydration she returns to normal.

I gotta tell you.

I don't really get much feedback from the proofers about what they actually thought of the book, which is, I think, due to the fact that they're simply concentrating on their proofing work, but proofer two told me that she liked the story.  I'll take it!

Marinating the flank steak for steak fajitas in olive oil, salt and pepper, garlic powder, cilantro and tequila. 

We'll be right over.

Biographies & Autobiographies aren't my favorites though I have read a good many.  There are a  number of books by Holocaust survivors I've enjoyed though the names of those eludes me at the moment.

A few of my favorites are:
Angela’s Ashes by Frank McCourt
Growing Up by Russell Baker
The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom
I know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
Torvill & Dean" The Autobiography of Ice Dancing's Greatest Stars by Jayne Torvill, John Man

Yesterday while I was browsing my eBook library I noticed Mahalia Jackson by
Montrew Dunham so I checked it out.

I hope that's PROOF of good work and a good yarn (Minny The Cat likes that word!).

For days now we have had a cute little female Ring Necked dipping duck in our pond.  To our, and their, delight a male was with her this morning.  We hope they stay a good while.  Not only are they fun to watch but they are vegetarians (won't eat the fish) that feed on pond weeds.
