Good Morning. And it's Tuesday, too.
Don't turn your wifi on. I am pretty sure that if you move they still wouldn't delete your account unless 1) they know you moved 2) your card expired.
What would be annoying having to renew your library card every year? How else will they know that people still live in the area? We have to show proof of residence.
All the books that I downloaded are still there because it doesn't sync up with Amazon and OverDrive to turn them in and remove them from my Kindle.
DR MIKE that story makes me dizzy.
Good morning, all! It is another day of running about. I will get to my accountant this morning and deal with a tax inquiry. Then, City Center, where Joshie has workwatng for me. I believe he and Rob will be off at an "ethnic orchestra" rehearsal with the bazouki and other Greek instruments for ZORBA.DR George, I am very fond of Tartuffe, but it's really one of Moliere's more serious comedies. There used to be on VHS a production from the Royal shakespeare Cmpany with Anthony Sher that was quite good; it's never shown up on DVD.This one's also very good:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0228925/?ref_=fn_al_tt_3
In other news, I just accepted a short gig playing for a couple of singers performing songs from MAN OF LA MANCHA for a fundraiser Sunday afternoon. The venue, about a 45-minute drive from here, sounds interesting: http://thegarytheolivia.com/ -- and I remember how our musical director for SHE LOVES ME was especially happy to have landed that post for their LA MANCHA in August.
I saw Married To Broadway last night.Great singers all and one of the best versions of Music of The Night (and I'v heard many, many version of the years) But the who thing is crying out for a reality tv series. What follows is mostly true.There was husband and wife who met doing Les Miz (Original run), their daughter, the protege, the competitor (and last minute replacement for the originally booked singer) who replaced the husband in Les Miz and then was replaced by the husband. Finally there was the mistress (as it was joked) who was the first American to play Eponine in the original Broadway version and worked with the husband and wife.. The husband and wife also were producers of Tale of Two Cities which the mistress appeared and the original booked singer was also in, but he was currently playing the title role in long running musical and I guess couldn't get out to appear in the show. The protege has been studying voice with the husband and wife since he was nine and (in at least my version) is dating the daughter although he might be gay. They all live together in one big house in New Jersey and when they need to get into NYC they are driven across the river in a tug boat by the protege who also is a tug boat captain. Also at home are two identical twin boys (Think Full House) with a grandma who acts and looks younger than her years. There is also 12 year son who is an right wing arch conservative
From DR George:QuoteAll the books that I downloaded are still there because it doesn't sync up with Amazon and OverDrive to turn them in and remove them from my Kindle.Don't you return your library books?I decided I do not like using my kindle app on my Nook and will only do so if it is the only way to read the book, or Keith already purchased it.

That happens even when I don't sync up my Kindle through Wi-Fi and the e-books aren't actually deleted from my Kindle. Those are two separate functions.

From DR Jennifer:QuoteDon't turn your wifi on. I am pretty sure that if you move they still wouldn't delete your account unless 1) they know you moved 2) your card expired.I thought of that, however, I will want my wifi on my Nook if I don't have a computer.I am thinking, if there is time, we should buy me a large laptop and transfer all my stuff from my computer to the laptop. I could use a new computer so why put mine into storage.
From DR Jennifer:QuoteWhat would be annoying having to renew your library card every year? How else will they know that people still live in the area? We have to show proof of residence.Once when I didn't use my card for awhile I received an email asking to verify I still lived here. Using the card on a regular basis no one asks. I can't recall any area I lived that required me to prove my residency every year. Of course if I went into the library on a regular basis it wouldn't be a big deal. For some people it is difficult to go to the library.
It might be that way because you have a Kindle app on a Nook and I have an actual Kindle. The problem with OverDrive is that (maybe it's for Kindle e-books) once an e-book is checked out, it cannot be checked back in or returned. It's no longer available for any other patrons until YOUR checkout loan period has expired, even if you finished the e-book very quickly. It's not an option at all.
