Well, you've read the notes, the notes were both beige and black and had folly, and now it is time for you to post until the beige and black cows come home.

[bk]

And the word of the day is: TIFFIN!

[George]

Today is going to be a long day.  I have to be up and downtown by 10:00am so that I can help paint the floor of The Midnight Sun where "The Head That Wouldn't Die" will be performing.  It shouldn't take more than an hour or so (assuming enough other people show up to help). 

[George]

I'm done after that until I'm needed for a tech rehearsal at 4:00pm.  No actors will be involved...it'll just be the tech people talking through all the tech cues.  That also shouldn't take too long.  In between those two events, I'll probably get some food and maybe come home and do a little laundry.  It depends on how much time I actually have.

[George]

I'm now off to bed.

Have a good day, all!

[FJL]

First in the real morning, after BK!

[Michael]

Wow, it looks like the "Herringbone" album producer has generated much bad feeling with how all the Kickstarter matters have been handled.

If I can ask for my money back I would. It's TWO years over due. It was promised Aug 2012.

[Michael]

Good morning to all.

[Michael]

Since I have to be up early starting on Monday for work. I started to condition myself by going to bed early and have the alarm wake me up at 5:30. So on Monday I'll be out of the house by 6:20.

My mother was supposed to fly down on Wednesday for winter on AIR CANADA. She went online to check her reservation and discovered her seat assignment was no longer there. She called and found out that they gave away her seat to someone else. She paid extra for an aisle seat up front. They ended up giving her a window seat in the back.

I told her that she has to call back and tell them that the seat was not acceptable and that they should upgrade her to business class.

Guess what! They gave away the other seat!!!

I told her to insist on a proper seat that she paid for or better. Now she might not be able to come down on Wednesday.

[Ben]

Morning all.

That is all.

You're preaching to the choir here, Mike, or at least the family of the choir. 

Could you tell me whether the update you got Nov. 23 was an invite to the party?  It's hard to believe that only $250 and up donors got invited.

[Ben]

I'll be getting an eye exam later today. I already went to the store and picked out my frames so now I just need the exam and when we come back to LI for the Christmas holidays I will have new glasses.

[Ben]

It's cold today. The weather bug says 21 degrees.

We will head back to the city tomorrow and then it's back to a very hectic week at work. At least I have my end of the performance evaluation finished so I can concentrate on getting work done.

[Ben]

I just finished re-reading

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

What a wonderful book. I highly recommend it. It's moving and funny and full of life. Well worth a first read, let alone a second read.

I've been using Overdrive to get library books on my Android media player. It's not the easiest process (I think because the device is small, just 5.5 inches) and reading on a small screen can be tiring but I plan on getting a tablet sometime in the next month (probably a Samsung Tab 4 10.1) and it should be easier from then on.

My Sony E-Reader became obsolete earlier this year (they decided to get out of the e-reader business, closing the Reader Store and ending software updates and creation of new machines). The device still works fine as a reader. All my purchased and downloaded (free public domain books) are there and the wi-fi still works but it's very slow AND I can't buy any books from Kobo (Sony transferred all our accounts to Kobo) using wi-fi and I can't use Overdrive on the device. I have to buy books from Kobo on my PC and transfer them via the USB cable to my device and I can't get a book from Overdrive on the reader at all. It's a 4/5 year old device which makes it ancient in technology years and if Overdrive existed 5 years ago it wasn't the same as it is now. My device was not supported then and it's not supported now. It's time to upgrade!

[Ben]

I'm off to begin the day.

Have fun doing whatever you're going to be doing!

[Druxy]

I love the scene in THE GREAT IMPOSTER with Edmond O'Brien.  I LOL every time I see it.

Good morning, all.

I received an invite to the Herringbone party and I did not pledge $250.

[ChasSmith]

Good morning, all.

I do believe it's Saturday, even though the days this week all feel pretty similar.

Coffee!

[ChasSmith]

Hmm.   Must be Black Friday in Tarnation.

[elmore3003]

Good morning, all!  It's going to be busy because Time Warner is already giving me major grief.  The high speed service on my new modem is slow as all get out, and I am accomplishing nothing. 

The asses at Time Warner are providing no help at all.

[ChasSmith]

I'm sorry to say I hear almost nothing but complaints about Time Warner from friends in the city.

Internet speed vibes for DR Elmore!  STAT!

The November 23 was not an invite and the original kickstarter did say the party would only be for the $250 and up donors

[ChasSmith]

I've probably mentioned this before whenever I was thinking out loud about it, but I've finally decided to treat myself to an iPad for music reading applications such as:   http://forscore.co/

I'm thinking maybe an Apple-refurbished one (with full warranty) to help take a little bit of the sting off the price tag.  I know I could get a run of the mill used one really cheap, but trying to decide which seller is trustworthy and whether I really want to start with older technology just isn't an attractive option.

[Jrand74]

REfurbished sounds nice DR CHAS SMITH.

Oh my.....DR BEN's E-reader has become obsolete!  Time marches on so quickly....technology wise.

[Jrand74]

Nice clip DR FJL.....I really like Pat and Ann-Margret in STATE FAIR.......

[Laura]

Good morning.
