And I am home. Perhaps it's the Yom Kippur holiday, but the bus was quite empty. The traffic was dreadful, but the trip was speedy and uneventful. It's been a long day of walking, but i am happy to be home and find a CD of AND THE WORLD GOES ROUND.

I liked it (on a certain level )

I'm wracking my brain.

What could that certain level be??

Will DR George buy the CD or just look at the photos?

I just found out that I'll be attending the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra's concert of Sibelius and Beethoven almost as soon as I get out of Garrison Keillor.

Wheeeee!

Thank you, Sing. If I pass this test I'll be relieved. It won't rule out all possibilities, but I think it'll cover the worst ones. (I think.)

Guess I'd better shave and shower.

I sold my beloved old Volvo this week. Once I purchased the Audi I had to park the Volvo on the street. (Audi gets my assigned parking spot.) Street parking is very limited in my 'hood. In the two months that I parked on the street the car was vandalized TWICE, amounting to roughly $1000 damage. I moved the car to a friend's house in Culver City--safer, but not exactly convenient, as I had to move it from one side of the street to the other two days a week. My poor Volvo had become a real liability.

I know a mechanic who buys old Volvos, fixes them up, and then sells them. He only works on Volvos. I didn't really think he'd want my car, because it needs some body work, but when I approached him he was immediately interested. My old car will soon have a new life--and it deserves it. I'm very pleased with this outcome and VERY relieved that I don't have to keep moving the car.

The From Here to Eternity broadcast that some DRs recently saw in the theater will be released to Blu-Ray in November.

I am sure that DR vixmom will be first in line to purchase a copy.

Perhaps we could all chip in and buy her a copy.

On Thursday I had an exercise echocardiogram. I'd had an exercise EKG, ie, a treadmill stress test, several years ago, but this one includes ultrasound images of the heart. I won't have the full results until late next week, but there were no problems during the test itself, which is certainly a good sign.

It sounds like the news will be good, but just in case.....

GOOD NEWS VIBES!!!

DR Jeanne, it's disheartening to hear about all the vandalizing going on. You live in or near Culver City, right? I'm not asking for specifics, but what general area are you in? I lived on Mentone Ave. in Palms, just north of Venice Blvd.), for a couple of years, and never had the slightest inkling of any problems there. Then again, that was -- OMG -- over 30 years ago ........

ChasSmith · « **Reply #75 on:** October 04, 2014, 02:44:56 PM »

Off to the show.

DR Jeanne congratulations on selling your Volvo!!!!

I did more cleaning, then took a Taco Walk. It's HOT out there! Thankfully, it's just around the corner.

Thank you, Jane. I think the news will be good, but I want to hear it from the cardiologist.

Chas, I'm living in the Sawtelle area. I never knew of this area to have problems--in fact, I'd expect less crime than usual because of the extensive Japanese population. But there is certainly vandalism.

I scoured the Palms area for an apartment a few years ago. It is now a VERY high-density area. Next to impossible to find parking on the street. In my view, density is a big part of the problem--more noise, less parking, more conflicts. Some of the newer buildings may be quiet due to additional insulation, but I suspect you'd not be as happy there now.

I agree with you: it is indeed disheartening. I mourn the loss of open space. I suspect everyone needs it and all this overcrowding just isn't healthy. At least most of us have AC now. People stay indoors, windows closed, in hot weather. It's quieter and less stressful.

Ginny, I hope your back pain resolves quickly. A hot bath in epsom salts is often helpful. I find back stretches very effective for staying limber and, hopefully, to avoid strains.

Singdaw, "Nice Work" was fun. I really enjoyed the band, and the music was far and away the best part. The cast was fine, the book was lousy and the dancing was both good and bad, thanks to some erratic choreography from Kathleen Marshall.

I actually enjoyed this production better than a bootleg I saw of the original Broadway cast.

Congrats on selling the car! A friend had her Volvo for nearly 15 years -- never caused her any problem. With more Grandchildren --- she had to sell, not enough room!

Vandalized twice, how scary. I guess I take it for granted that I can park my car in the garage. May you enjoy the Audi

DR Jeanne thank you for the reminder to do some stretches for my hip.

Good car news from DR JEANNE.....I am sure your Volvo will find a nice home.

DR SINGDAW is going to be dripping with culture when he gets home.

We just got our first good review from Max Preeo on the Cast recording List:
Tuesday, October 7, New World Records releases the splendid new two-CD
studio recording of Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach's ROBERTA, reconstructed by
Larry Moore, providing a revelation of how its creators integrated the music
and book. It is presented as a "radio play," with dialogue (lengthier
sections are indexed so they can be skipped) that gives a complete
understanding of how the show worked on its opening night in 1933. Of
course all the now-familiar songs, such as "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,"
"You're Devastating," "Let's Begin," "I'll Be Hard to Handle," "Something
Had to Happen" and more are here, as well as previously unrecorded reprises,
"Hot Spot" and "Clemintina," dance music and underscore. An appendix has
the cut "Armful of Trouble" and "I Won't Dance" and "Lovely to Look At," as
sung in the 1935 film version, with a lovely uninterrupted "Smoke Gets in
Your Eyes." Everything is well sung/performed by a cast including Annalene
Beechey, Patrick Cummings, Jason Graae, Kim Criswell, and Diana Montague,
with Rob Berman lading the Orchestra of Ireland through Robert Russell
Bennett's orchestrations (painstakingly reconstructed/reorchestrated by
Larry, fully detailed in the set's booklet).
