I also hung the shades I bought back when I started the project.  I didn't even remember what color they were going to be, lol. 

I have had that problem-lol

I do like them.   Now almost all my windows have double cellulose shades.  They really make a difference, especially in the winter

The QUANTUM LEAP episode that started about 15 minutes ago has as guest stars Paul Sand and John Cullum. Scott Bakula's character Sam leaps into the body of the understudy to Cullum who is a musical theater star on the decline due to his drinking. Ernie Sabella has a role as the actor playing Sancho Panza to Cullum's Man of La Mancha. The producers must have paid a bit of coin for the rights for Cullum to sing, so far two songs, Dulcinella (I'm guessing the title) and The Impossible Dream. Now he' singing another song as he's playing inebriated.

Cullum's a favorite of mine. That must be fun.

It was awful to go in there and remember not only the work I needed to do, but why I couldn't do it for so long.  Finishing it ends that chapter.  It's long over due.

I do love my new den.  I'm not in it right now, but have been sitting in there more and more. Which is actually why I really decided to finish it.

Den vat vill you do? :D

Cullum was quite good. The episode must have been a favor for Bakula who I understand was a musical theater actor/singer.

Time to get ready for bed.  I have to go back to work tomorrow.  Other than an email or two I haven't looked at anything work related since I left on Thursday.  Tomorrow will likely be a bit crazy

Bakula was in the original cast of Romance/Romance and did a recording of Anyone Can Whistle with Bernadette Peters and Madeline Kahn.

DR John G. I forgot to say that I'm glad that you are safe. Those sure were very severe storms. Lloyd Lindsay Young would have called them gullywashers.

I am glad that you are getting better. Makes you appreciate how much we take our digestive system for granted when its affected by bugs and whatnot. When it's on the fritz, it keeps us from just doing our normal activities. Keep getting better!

Hello, everyone.

I tried to read the posts earlier, but my Macbook wouldn't let me. I was able to read the Notes, and my Gmail, but not the posts. Strange. I can now read from page two on, but not page one. Oh, well.

Me, too, DR SINGDAW.  Aside from the typical childhood maladies, nothing extraordinary....so far.

This sciatica thing that I am experiencing now is probably the worst thing.....but I must say that wearing the BE ACTIVE BRACE a few hours a day has relieved it considerably.  I can at last sleep again and walk and stand normally without having to sit down after a short while.

IT IS NOT GONE, but it is so much better.

I'm glad to hear that the brace makes that much of a difference. Being able to sleep at night is important! I've been wearing my ankle brace again and I do think it helps. My theory is that we pick up little microsprains without even realizing it, thus aggravating old injuries.

I have to say that it's mentally a huge relief.  Every time I walked in there, I thought about how much work I needed to do.

I can relate to that. I have some projects that are hanging over my head, too.

How nice that you can enjoy the room now.

Bruce, I'm glad to hear you're on the mend. Intestinal bugs can be very difficult to get rid of. I suggest you don't push it. Cooked foods are easiest. As healthy as salads are, they're not the easiest to digest. The rice and eggs are good choices.

How's the shoulder?

I wonder if this depicts the moment right before her taxi accident, after which she had higher notes than she had ever had before.


No, he wasn't with her in the taxi accident.

I'm doing okay, Dan, but trying to read these posts is the worst.  It is easier just to watch TV than to attempt to read these post.  But, I am trying to keep up!

I never watched the series, but I was actually in rehearsals for a local production of "Man of La Mancha" when that episode aired.  A lot of us (individually) watched that episode and talked about it during rehearsals.  That production (in December 1989) was the first time I had done any community theater and I've been doing it ever since.

He was!  I wish he would do more recording.  Fortunately, he's still alive, so there's always the possibility. :)
