DR John G, I believe Jason's playing Roger de Bris, I think.

I've listened to the soundtracks of EMMA (Samuel Sim) and MAURICE (Richard Robbins) this morning, and now I'm listening to ROBERTA.

Sunday afternoon greetings!  Richard, Mary Linda, and I just returned from church, lunch, and delivering cookies to Mom.  There may be a nap in my future because I stayed up too late last night watching THE MUSIC MAN.  But it was worth it!

DR GEORGE I have one of those portable air conditioners because my room was built on after the original house, and the ducts for the heating/air conditioning do not run out here.

I think DR TCB has one, too.

It is a bit annoying to have to run a dryer vent hose like thing out a screen, but it cools my entire room....   I use an empty water bottle to empty the water each morning.....

All in all....it makes it more comfortable than just a fan.  This is the third year for this one, and I have had no problems.

Thanks or the info, Jrand.  The only thing I'm really concerned about is when my dad has to empty the water for the first time.  Hopefully, he can figure it out easily enough.  I ws able to download the manual for the specific model that he has and save it to his computer desktop.

A FB friend of mine posted this yesterday (I only just saw it a little while ago...so it's a day late).  I'm sure she's not the only one who did, but her post is the only one that I saw:





Vixdad loves this!  Thank you for posting this George it gave him a good laugh

Glad he liked it!

I need something really good to happen. My financial life and career need a good kick:  that Ohio property isn't moving, the Moross work is wonderful but sporadic, my orchestrating/arranging career is on the downside with few offers and there are lots of young, more-eager-than-I  and often less-talented-than-I folk grabbing and competing for the work in Manhattan. 

I need that job I said yes to several months ago to get moving or a foundation/recording company to want to employ me.  I need something good to happen to drag me out of this funk.

And now, I must be off.  I need to take a shower, get dressed, the head to Costco to get some brand new tires for my 17 year old car...and get something to eat, too.  The tires are on sale, but the sale ends today, so I don't want to wait until it's too late.

Until later!

But before I go...

Question for DR George and TCB---is it common to not have central air conditioning in houses in your area?

No.  This is certainly one of the hottest summers that I can remember.  I didn't know anyone who had or even needed an air conditioner until recent years.

It's Climate Change!  It's Global Warming!!  IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!!!

Thanks for the vibes! Keep 'em coming. 

I just listened to the OBC of TOVARICH; Jean Pierre Aumont sings better than Vivien Leigh, but i'm really amazed how mediocre the score is.

Stopped by a neighborhood market and found cherries for 99 cents a pound. That's $2 less than I have been paying. I bought many pounds.

We paid $7.99 for a pound of cherries at the Oxbow Market in Napa, CA, on Tuesday.  Yesterday at Kroger here in Middletown similar cherries were $1.99/pound.

And in Palo Alto, Richard saw a listing for a house similar in size to ours priced at $4.5 million.
