Maybe I will go for lasagna instead!

We will see Victor Frankenstein tomorrow at 2:15.  Yay!

[ChasSmith]

TCB sez:

I wish we could record it, but I have been told that isn't going to happen.

And I am sorry to hear that.

I was equally sorry to be told, politely, when I made a private appeal for an archival copy of ASSASSINS, that there was no way it was going to happen.  I didn't want it as a record of my own participation, but because it was such an exceptional piece of theater all around.  This place has an experienced guy who gets an excellent video of their productions, but they play by the rules to the nth degree, and the only way I'll even get to see that is if/when they hold a private showing several months after the fact.  Hardball, baby.

Excellent, DR Elmore!  I think I want to see that one, too.  I especially look forward to TRUMBO.

[ChasSmith]

Relieved to hear we won't be losing our DR Elmore to HUNGER GAMES.

[ChasSmith]

It's like a new lease on life.

I am so sick of these idiot anti-Muslim morons who continue to confuse Muslims with Al Quaeda or ISIS. And Donald Trump, this year's answer to Adolph hitler, only caters to them.

End of rant.

DR ELMORE the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dreams are certainly holiday related and that good news can be expected from family members.  The second part of the dream tells us that you will soon have to choose from among several projects that are offered to you.

DR Jennifer I suppose I shouldn't complain that it is cold here when we don't have snow.

[bk]

I'm up, I'm up - another rough night of too little sleep, perhaps five hours.

[ChasSmith]

CD arrived.  Thank you, BK!

[Jane]

I slept fairly well back in my own bed.  Keith did too since he put a rolled blanket under his sinking mattress to level it a bit.

[Jane]

When I left for a walk this morning it was only 38 degrees.  It is now 40 degrees.   I was comfortable as it is a clear day without wind.  Keith said he could hear the wind blowing last night.

[Jane]

I bet DR Jennifer wishes it was 10 Celsius there.

[Ginny]

Got both pairs of glasses adjusted, paid my bill, stopped at Starbucks, and came home for lunch.  Now I have 2 pumpkin pies in the oven and our house will smell good soon!

I sure hope that Dream-o-matic is right!  I need to get busy again.  I'm more fun when I'm working. I feel all I'm giving friends and the DRs I love is a lot of misery. As for the others, well . . .

OMG I am not happy. There is snow everywhere. And with no warning.  When I checked the weather forecast last night I only saw a 40% chance of flurries.  Luckily it is supposed to be very warm on Thursday and Friday so it will melt. But yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. Sounds horrible.

TOD: Here's a shoutout to Zera Baird, my high school Latin teacher. She only taught one year (she had had a full slate of classes when she started, but the appeal had dwindled over the years). She taught me more about English grammar than any other teacher. She was a delightful, droll woman.

I had her after she had had a stroke that left half of her face paralyzed. It didn't matter. For the three or four of us who were involved and interested in Latin, she gave it all she had.

She was an odd duck visually. She had the same pantsuit and pumps and earrings in five different patterns and wore one each day of the week.

But one of that mattered. In a sea of burnouts, she was vibrant and vital and she sparked a will to learn.

Back from lunch meeting and picking up packages.  Two screeners arrived today - Bridge of Spies and Steve Jobs.  Luckily I arrived just as the UPS truck did - even though I signed for both packages electronically and received confirmation of that, the UPS man was still being instructed to get a signature, which is bogus.  He told me the same thing has just happened to a neighbor down the street - they signed electronically and yet had they not been home to sign in person the package would not have been left.  So, he suggested I call and find out if the system is glitching or what - I'm on hold now trying to do just that.  The problem, of course, is that I'm not talking to an agent based in, you know, the United States of America, where this problem is occurring.

I bet DR Jennifer wishes it was 10 Celsius there.

I think it will be 10C on thursday and friday, hopefully.

That's when it's getting colder here.

I just got a loverly email from Bill Modrow, librarian in Special Collections, that my collections was used recently in a music research class.

I asked him if there was an online finding aid to it.  I could really use one.

That's great, Larry!

Ditto!

Well, at the dentist today, I had some inflammation and a little bleeding. They want me to come back in January (when they could schedule it) to have the "deep cleaning."  They will have to numb my gums for this.  It's never been this bad, although they said that they caught it very early.  Hopefully, it won't be so bad after this.

[George]

And since we're so close...
