Glad you're up DR ELMORE....it's going to be a great day.

I hope you are right, DR JRand64! I'm getting sick of my existence.

Apparently we should have received a notification that they were testing the fire alarms this morning.  The news is they are working but boy, did it give us a jolt.

That sure did give us a fright.  Fortunately it didn't stay on too long.  We suspected a workman outside hit something.  When I went outside to inquire I caught the car with the people from the fire department leaving.

Got another two and a half hours of sleep then the phone rang.  I am getting no less than ten of these spam calls a day.  At one point I put myself on the "do not call" list - that worked really well apparently.

And they are getting more and more devious - the calls show up with just the phone number listed and frequently they are normal looking numbers from my area code.

The one nice thing about moving and getting a new number, they haven't caught up with us yet.

There were loopholes in the Do Not Call plan that, by now, have rendered the program almost useless.

Not to mention, I think spammers/telemarketers just don't care.  They feel no threat.  At least that's my impression.

I'll bet that none of the vintage LA restaurants we've been talking about for the past few days offered sandwiches on catloaf bread.

No, sirree.

TOD:

Ask BK:

Have you, yourself, ever suffered from writer's block (and I don't mean your novel, Writer's Block)? Seeing that you always have so many creative ideas floating around in your cranium, I would guess not.

I have argued with them that I did not request the call nor did any friend of mine give them my name.

My father is doing okay.  He wants someone in his room 24/7 which is very difficult for all of us, but hopefully that will pass.

DR Jrand64, I don't know what your preferences are re learning a play, but if you'd like to see a DVD of the production here, I believe I have access to a copy.

If anyone can relate, it's 58 degrees (Fahrenheit) in Oakland CA right now.  That's 30 degrees cooler than it was Monday afternoon.

and it's July 22nd.

I have some multi-region Geraldine McEwan "Miss Marples" to look at in Blu ray when I get home this evening.  These are from Spain.

FWIW:  I obtained "Murder on the Orient Express", "Death on the Nile", "Evil Under the Sun" and "The Mirror Crack'd" on Blu ray discs from Amazon.com.  These are the Swedish multi-region issues.   

They are beautiful.

All the Joan Hickson Miss Marples are now out on Blu ray via BBC Shops.  Amazon.com also carries them (and at a lower cost).  If you love the Joan Hickson Marples, they look simply grand!
