I didn't know Angie's List provided doctor's.  I usually just ask people who they like.

TOD:  I pretty much hate time-travel movies.  In my career, I've turned down several opportunities to write time-travel films and TV shows.  I just find the logic and the set of rules to time-travel can be a minefield to navigate through if you're a writer.  I like Nick Meyer's Jack the Ripper/H.G. Wells time travel movie, TIME AFTER TIME and can tolerate a few others but it's hardly a genre I seek out.

I am home from Staples with a necessary purchase and helpful news about my empty HP ink cartridges, of which I possess thousands.

I must admit that while thius card-carrying liberal is delighted that the past several days have been unhappy ones for a lot of the far right conservatives and general asses in the party like Justice Scalia, Ted Cruz, Rick Perry and that idiot pastor who says he really didn't mean to burn himself alive, I do worry about the backlash from their cronies and moronic supporters.

End of soapbox.

TOD:

One of my favorite writers, J.B. Priestley, was a believer in the fluidity of time and wrote about it in various works, both fiction and nonfiction. One of my favorites was the play Time and the Conways, which wasn't really about time travel, but about how the present influences the future.

Man and Time is my favorite of his non-fictional looks at the subject.

My neighbor who took my other two 4-drawer filing cabinets that I abandoned last September took the one I tossed out on Thursday.  I just delivered the keys.

Time Travel:
Books
  H.G. Wells  The Time Machine
  Jack Finney Time and Again
  Pete Hamill Forever

Film
  The Time Machine
  Time After Time

I never liked Somewhere In Time, which seemed to me a ripoff of the wonderful Jack Finney novel (why has that never been filmed?)

TOD:
Somewhere in Time
Back to the Future
Frequency
Paycheck

Okay, "Frequency" and "Paycheck" aren't really about time travel, but they're about knowing what's going to happen in the future, so I think they still count.

Does "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" count as time travel?

If you haven't seen ABOUT TIME....from 2014 or so, it is a time travel movie with s romantic theme.....and so I will add one that I almost forgot.

Somewhere in Time with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour

The Ten Dollar Secretary-Hutch......with a hole so you can be wired for sound.  It will look very nice onstage.

MR BK I repeated your "same sex" comment from the notes on my Facebook page and it is getting many laughs, likes, and shares.  You should be a comedy writer.

Today, a friend and I are going to see the new Disney/Pixar movie, "Inside Out."  We're planning on going to Chipotle for lunch before.  I've only been there once, but I did like it.

DR Jane - have you considered joining Angie's List? It's a minimal yearly cost, and you get access to provider reviews (including doctors). We have used it successfully after our last two moves to unfamiliar territories.

If I remember correctly (and there are no guarantees of that), I don't think that (former?) DR Danice had a great experience with Angie's List. :-\

I tend to mix up the various time travel movies, but one I discovered a few years ago and enjoyed was FROM TIME TO TIME. Written by Julian Fellowes. Starring Timothy Spall and Maggie Smith, among others. It's a nice film.

We actually had a few drops of rain today. And I do mean a few. But they were nice to listen to.

I heard a lovely CD yesterday while at acupuncture--piano, violins, bass, birds, and ocean. I'm not a bird-lover, but I sure liked this CD. I asked my doctor about it. It was a gift from one of her patients and she put it on her ipod and didn't know the title. It's a Dan Gibson Solitudes CD, but there are lots of them. I'm thinking it might be the Natural Stress Relief one. Does anyone here listen to Dan Gibson? All his CDs had very positive reviews.
