Well, you've read the notes (finally), you know about firewalls within (finally), you probably know that we were down for a whopping twelve hours, just as you probably know that there will be a very strong conversation today about this, and now it is time for you to post until the whopping twelve cows come home.

And the word of the day is: POLYMATHY!

First after BK, but it probably doesn't count when it's almost noon, i bet.

And I'll need reports if anyone is having any problems loading anything on this site or Kritzerland - just be careful that it's not you-related rather than site-related. Thanks for your patience and we should be fine from here on in.

TOD: I can't remember all of the things that I wanted to be. It was more things that I wanted to do, such as fly. I did at one point when I was young want to be a writer, though I think I always wanted to be a reader more than anything.

And we are hopefully back to normal! I left a necessary score for the Mormon Trio at City Center yesterday. Damn!

I'll go in tomorrow, pick up the score, copy the part, pick up another score from Joshie and come home. O think we are in good shape for the orchestra reading n Feb. 27.

I wanted to be a train engineer - I loved steam locomotives - and a magician before my parents and Aunt Jean decided I would be a doctor. That lasted until after I registered in college as a premed student, and then all hell broke loose when I changed my mind.

I saw this. I hope I still have an internet connection at 10:45 this morning to watch a young gal I know compete with her Bernese Mountain Dog.

The carpet installers have arrived. They are beginning with our bedroom which should take a good while. Once they are done in there they will move into the office and Keith will have to disconnect the internet. That room won't take as long since the handyman removed the carpet in there before painting.

All is working fine now, no delays trying to open the site or post.

From DR elmore:

Washington DC government isclosed down for the weather. Joshie, Rob Berman, and ZORBA are on hold.

What a bunch of wimps. You gotta be tough or insane or both to live in Manhattan. We should run the government.

Craig said they canceled school and then didn't get as much snow as expected. He is happy not to work today since he has had a cold.

Site is running beautifully right now!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #14 on:** February 17, 2015, 09:48:32 AM »

In fact, it's running way better than my snow blower, which just blessed me with one more damned thing to learn how to fix on it. Fortunately, I'm done with it for the day and can do the fix tomorrow. I really want the rest of my day to be music related.

BK piqued my interest in the Paul Williams Still Alive documentary, and just for the HELL of it I took a quick look on IMDb to see if there were any comments along the lines of BK's. If this first one in the message board is any indication, there should be plenty...

Not really about Paul Williams

This film is really about how obnoxious, thoughtless, and incompetent a documentarian can be. He made himself the star, with Paul Williams as the victim of his ninja film tactics.
I spent most of the film cringing.

I'm so glad the carpets are being done on schedule. The house is a disaster with everything we removed, to make it easier to do the work, and spread throughout the house.

Carpet be done vibes for DR JANE.

HHW is moving along very well on the Information Highway.

Thanks DR Jrand. I'm about to go look. Keith said the new bedroom carpet is beautiful and soft.

Tuesday afternoon greetings! When I tried this site earlier this morning and could not get in I decided to leave it alone for a while. Finished my book group book for Thursday - The Pearl That Broke Its Shell - and puttered a bit.

Jane · « **Reply #21 on:** February 17, 2015, 10:33:25 AM »

Did you like the book as much as I did?

George · « **Reply #22 on:** February 17, 2015, 10:35:46 AM »

Halla-freakin'-looya!! I'm able to post! I couldn't even read BK's notes until now. HOPEFULLY, it's all fixed! I definitely have some ketchuping to do.

Yes and no. I thought both stories were compelling and my reading experience was enhanced by meeting the author and hearing her speak in Chicago. The writing, though, was very clumsy in places and I found the book too long and not well-edited. Looking forward to discussing it with my friends.

Jane · « **Reply #24 on:** February 17, 2015, 11:00:35 AM »

Thanks. I'll be curious if your group agrees with you. I did enjoy the stories more than the writing. You are probably right about the editing, which unfortunately is too often true these days.

Ginny · « **Reply #25 on:** February 17, 2015, 11:17:06 AM »

I'll let you know, DR Jane.

Meanwhile, good luck with the new carpet. Are there fumes that are bothersome to you?

Michael · « **Reply #26 on:** February 17, 2015, 11:21:49 AM »

Good afternoon. Doing this from my iPhone. Glad to see we are up and running

Lunch meeting isn't happening, so I guess I'll go get something to eat shortly.

TOD - I often wondered - will I be pretty? will I be rich? Well, we all know how that turned out Que sera sera
