Friends were quick to let me know about the Berners though not quick enough for me to see them.  As soon ad I heard they were on a milk farm I knew they were working dogs pulling a cart.u
I am surprised since the three hour warning from the east coast viewers should have given you three hours.  I wll see if I can find the clip on youtube. I am sure cbs.com puts up the entire show. It was between 8:30pm and 8:40pm i think.

Duh!!! I am sitting here laughing at myself.  I am such an idiot!  ;D

Thank you, the clip made it to Facebook this morning.  Do you know where they were?  It looks like the Swiss Alps, maybe French.

DR Jane I rerea tour comments about the book I was reading. It was not just the ending of the book that was gut wrenching. There were multiple parts. For some reason I do not actually think this book would be your taste. I was just curious if you like books like that. I find them hard to read but they are often the books that I give five stars too since the make me feel so strongly.

I know what you mean.  I like happy endings too though ;)

He's fine.  My wife just got him the wrong kind of bone to chew on.

It broke apart.  He swallowed the pieces, and the pieces came up and out this morning.

That is scary.  I'm glad he is ok.

There's a lockdown at the high school in my neighborhood. A co-worker's daughter and my minister's three sons are in there. A kid with several loaded guns and knives was detained and there's talk of an accomplice somewhere in the building.

Please send vibes and prayers that this is peacefully resolved.

Pam and her husband have left work to go to the school. One rumor is that one of the guns was an AK-47.

Just called Amazon support (at DR George's suggestion). They were able to work their magic and "force" the corrected version of Red Gold onto my account and devices. They also refunded the purchase price on my previous attempts.     :)

That is good news!

This author does not do happy endings. So I am curious if this series will end at all happy.

They spent most of the leg in Lucerne Switzerland so I think that challenge was there.

Oy I had no idea that you just thought you missed it. I thought you must have only checked your facebook much later.

I totally forgot that MAD MEN was on last night, I will have to watch in ON DEMAND....whew!

Rehearsal was fine.....I got to see ALL of the routines except one....which I have already seen....there are some nice dances....and some other ones.  And of course the one professional ballroom teacher has made his dance all about himself and not much about his partner.

We are NOT couple number three, we are couple number seven....which means we are in the second part of the show.....after intermission.  Sharon was terrific, and we didn't miss any steps...so we did okay...  I would say we are definitely middle of the pack.

My coworker Pam's daughter has finally gotten a text message out that she's OK. It seems the school confiscated all phones for some reason. (My cynical thought process leads me to think it's because the district wants to control the PR.) The kid had two guns on him plus knives and he had a fully loaded AK-47 hidden in one of the bathrooms. How do you hide an AK-47 in a school bathroom?

It seems that the kids are OK, but there had been talk of an accomplice and now there's been nothing in the last hour on that. Wonder if they've given up on that idea.

They certainly must be controlling the PR.  I see a 'mySA' story, but nothing yet on cnn.com or other major news sites.

Or maybe that the way it is, anyway, until the first shot is fired...?

I'm up, I'm up.  I guess I got around ten hours of blessed sleep.  I was awakened by the door bell and had to jump out of bed to see who it was, which I HATE.  I asked, "Who do you want?" The reply was "Josh."  Uh huh.

Had very peculiar dreams last night, the kind I do not like having.  I suppose I'll know in a bit how I'm feeling this morning, voice-wise.

Good morning, all!

I'm glad to hear you're feeling a bit better, BK.

Per your old Macbook: I had a similar problem with my Macbook (not a Pro) a year or so ago. So if the new battery doesn't right things, here's what I found on mine. It turned out to be the inverter cord, that runs between the keyboard and screen. It can wear out. I found a great Apple approved repair place in Pasadena (which I'll be happy to share once I re-find my info), who fixed it in 2 hours for about $65. It can also be the inverter itself, or the bulb in the screen, but ultimately fixable.

I'm happy to have a day off after a marathon week. I'll be even happier to finish up with the last reading in a week, which is the vampire on the Mayflower musical. Eeek!  :D

Hope everyone has a great Monday.

More vibes for BK's healing.
