I'll have to tell my dad about this.  "Casablanca" is probably his all-time favorite movie.

Time for dinner. I'm having some fresh broccoli and tortellini.

DR John G, fantastic news about your health!

[elmore3003]

I missed seeing Michael Kerker at the Triad last week.  i'm happy he liked the recording.

Val Kilmer IS Moses.

No, not any more.  Val Kilmer is Mount Sinai!!

[TCB]

Will definitely order this CD. 

I had to look to see which one I have.  It's the Fox one, which is the same that came with the laserdisc except for not being "24k gold".  And I never got around to acquiring that particular "signature" box set.

Haven't listened to this or watched the film in several years, so it will be nice to do both.  It should even inspire me to dust off the theremin, review the instructional tapes that came with it, and try playing along a little bit.  But I always say I'm going to do that.  So, we'll see.  We shall see.

A well-known fact:  Grown men who play the theremin are frequently considered to be bi-polar.

HA!

Great news DR JohnG!!!

[Jennifer]

The snow has melted.  The weather was crazy today.  On Saturday there were huge piles of snow. And today it was low 60s.  Crazy!

[Jeanne]

Hello, everyone.

[Jeanne]

Continued safety and housing vibes to DR Kate and her family.

[Jennifer]

I am looking forward to watching Dancing With The Stars tonight. I am curious who people here are cheering for?

I would actually be okay with any of the four remaining couples winning. They are all great.

I am not 100% sure who I want to win.  I know my least favorite is probably Sadie and Mark.  I do love Janel and Val.  I also love Derek and think that Bethany has been doing amazing lately.  I also really like Witney and Alfonso.  Depending on how the freestyles go I will decide who to vote for tonight.

I am curious who people think will win?  I think it depends on the freestyle. If Alfonso is able to go all out then i think he has a good shot.  But I would love to see Val win and think that he and Janel are actually the best dancers (although all four are amazing).

DR Jennifer, about how high were your snow piles and what is typical in your area?

[Jeanne]

Also, I seem to have thrown my lower back out. I am hobbling around like a very old man.

FEEL-BETTER-PRONTO VIBES TO DR SINGDAW!!

Does heat help your back? If so, I'd suggest a hot bath with epsom salts. The magnesium in the epsom salts will help to relax your muscles.

[Jeanne]

Back from the doctor. No recurrence of cancer. Don't have to be tested for another year.

Great news! So glad to hear it.

[Jeanne]

I braved Trader Joe's today. I knew the store would be crowded when the nearby street, which is where I usually park, was lined with cars. The parking lot was packed, with long lines of cars. You'd think it was close to Thanksgiving or something.

[ChasSmith]

I had to brave a couple of stores today, and it was insane -- fueled both by some impending holiday or other, and the possibility of a snowstorm on Wednesday.

[ChasSmith]

Big congrats to DR John G.!

I hope you are celebrating with a nice meal and a nice libation.

[Jeanne]

While I was selecting an apple pie, a Japanese woman came over, pointed to a pumpkin pie, and asked, in stilted English, "Not pumpkin?" "No," I replied. "Why not?" I explained that I don't really care for pumpkin pie. She thought for a moment, then said, "Why?" I don't know, I just never have. I like pumpkin soup and used to love pumpkin ice cream. I found the encounter quite amusing.

[Jeanne]

As I was leaving the apartment and heading toward my car, I clicked my car's remote entry key. My car's rear lights flashed--but so did my neighbor's car right next to mine. WHAT?? My neighbor then came out. He must have clicked his remote entry at the same time I did, but he was no where in sight, so I'm surprised it worked. But I know nothing about mechanical things.

[Jeanne]

Tomorrow I'm slated for my dental work. I've never had this procedure done before and don't know a lot about it. I'm told he'll be drilling. Eight teeth are involved and I'm also told that he must do all eight at once. I'm hoping to have a little chat first, while I can still speak. He's a nice guy--I like him and am very glad to have found him. He knows about my back and neck issues, and should know about the cardiac issues from my intake forms, but I think it best that I remind him.

[Jeanne]

Color me apprehensive.

[Jeanne]

I've put time aside in case I'm wiped out.

[Jeanne]

Yes, I can imagine.

[Jeanne]

Good morning, all! 

The bad news about my new neighbor? She has a dog.

Let's hope that Larry's ghosts scare the dog and keep him quiet. No harm, mind you, just quiet.

[Jrand74]

Gort! Gort!!!!

[Jeanne]

Well, it looks like I'm here by myself. I think I shall go put some heat on my back (BioMat).

TTFN, folks.

[Jeanne]

Oh, I stand corrected! Jrand has joined me. Sorry, Jack.

[Jeanne]

Gort! Gort!!!!
