How awful. The movie version is perfection. On Broadway it was bloated beyond belief...and the syntax is deplorable.

From here at my desk, I'm watching it snow. It looks pretty, but I'm concerned that Rob is driving home from work on slippery roads. I think Mary Linda might be telecommuting today.

I'm glad Bryan doesn't have a far commute. He needs a new car but is waiting until after he is done with his residency.

TOD:
Well, I know what I would LIKE to make a comeback, and that's CDs - maybe even a nice concept CD. As you all know, my car was totaled in October and I had to get a new used car. I ended up with a 2013 Mazda 2, and what I miss the most about my 2009 Nissan Versa is that it had a 5-CD changer in it. But apparently, no one listens to CDs anymore, so they don't make 5-CD changers anymore.

This explains why the newer version of Keith's car only holds 1 CD vs the 5 he used to have. He prefers it though as the hard drive holds more. He has his music on a USB port that works directly with his car and doesn't need an iPad. He doesn't really use it like you used your CD player.

I have a one-CD player in my 2004 car.....I use it a lot driving back and forth to the theatre.....

It is very cold here, and the predictions are for sub zero temperatures for a couple of days. The snow wasn't so much.....but it's COLD!!!

Tres froid in Manhattan as well, though 21 degrees is not the same as the Midwest cold. My sisters and brothers have wind chills in the minus 30 to minus 40 range.

Speaking of siblings, my sister's second grandchild (my second grand niece) was born today. Here she is (Marlee) being held by her big sister (7 years old) Adara

I have read that the east coast will be slammed by arctic cold this week...with highs in the single digits in some places.

BRRRR-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R!

And then some...

Oh, and I have a cassette player in my car...

Oddly, we are just coming out of a cold snap. During my two weeks in South Carolina, the temps in Oakland were much cooler than they were in SC.

Today we are expecting record-breaking (for this time of year) temps in the low 70s.

I'm up, I'm up. Actually, I was up for most of the evening - maybe two or three hours of sleep. Tummy problems. Don't know if it was something I ate or maybe a touch of the stomach flu, but just could not sleep.

Had the meeting and must now dive in and futz and finesse so I can do the new writing.

John G. · « **Reply #42 on:** January 06, 2015, 12:17:34 PM »

It appears to be in the 60s and sunny outside.

Tomorrow's high will be in the 40s.

We're getting a light fine dusting right now. Temperature is 17!

Over the week, it's been getting warmer in southwest Washington.

HOWEVER, this just happened in Hoquiam, yesterday:

Yesterday, my new router arrived. I plugged it in and used the quick setup guide. Unfortunately, half way thru these instructions, it stopped being written in any form of English that I could understand. An hour later, I figured out that I was totally scrooged!

At least, I can say I actually saw it on Broadway with Julie Andrews.

I do, too. And a radio, but not a CD player or USB anything.

I called my friend who works as an I.T. for the state, who gave me the bad news -- that I would have to call tech support!

I am currently at the stage where I am about ready to switch Internet companies. I had hoped to wait until February to change, but perhaps this is a sign!

Either way, I will have no internet access at home this week, unless I can figure out where I went wrong.

I am currently sitting in a Forza Coffee shop, using their WIFI. I hate being unconnected.

One of my favorite shows, Masterchef Junior is returning tonight. I love this show I can't believe how well these kids can cook.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #55 on:** January 06, 2015, 02:04:35 PM »

Nice new baby.....congrats to DR BEN & family.....

My brother in law has ROKU and says it's great.

MASTERCHEF JR is a show I don't like at all.....first of all they hire kid actors NOT kid chefs....and the kids receive a LOT of behind the scenes help in the preparation and plating of the meals....they do some chopping and stirring, but the real cooking is done by others.....it's the classic "reality" cheat.

DR TCB, we are in similar boats: my goddam Mac has crashed again and refuses to connect to the internet. Color me highly pissed.

bk · « **Reply #57 on:** January 06, 2015, 02:22:58 PM »

Finished futzing and finessing, which took a while, then wrote two new pages, finished a chapter, and shall start a new chapter in a little while.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #58 on:** January 06, 2015, 02:29:38 PM »

As soon as I posted that from my Macbook, my Mac decided to connect to the internet. I had restarted it three times and rebooted the modem four times. WTF?

It's working my last nerve.

I haven't seen a mother cat. These kittens suddenly showed up one day last summer. It's a good thing I caught them: they are both females.
