Good news from DR JEANNE yesterday about her glasses/optometrist.

DR TCB - there's always one person who is COMPELLED to tell you they don't like it....they can't help it....especially if the production has received a generally positive response from the media and audiences.....

I am off to photograph the sunrise.

I don't see the sunrises anymore. I used to see them from our bedroom in Ashland. That is ok since I have traded them for sunsets.

I am home from another less than stunning experience at Staples. God knows the glitch, but I put the 58 pages letter-sized score to be copied in the tray. Io should have in retrn 58 pages of copy @ $0.12/page. Well, I got 58 pages of 11x17 paper @ $0.23/page. This of course thrilled me no end and the manager blamed it on the fact that I hadn't made sure that the feeder tray wasn't closed to 8.5x11. I still think it was shitty maintenance of the overworked photocopiers.

So then I had to wait for mew copies made at no charge and wait while the overworked clerk and another employee had to deal with me between too many waiting customers. Color me very pissed at the moment.

I wonder if DR Elmore's local Staples is run by the local branch of the United States Postal Service.

I doubt it; I believe they are blatant examples of trickle down mismanagement.

The Appalachian Carols score is sealed and ready for the PO, I've confirmed which copy of the Moross score for The Proud Rebel isin my possession, and I'm ready to tackle "Fare You Well" from Gentlemen, Be Seated.

Got a question for the group:

Do you use the term "sleep in" for sleeping late? If so, did you grow up knowing it, or did you adopt it at some time or place?

This question somehow came up the other day, and some people had never heard it and had no idea what it was supposed to mean. Some of that group had spent their lives around NYC, so we thought it might be a regional expression - but in what areas? I felt like I'd always heard it and used it, but I've lived in the Midwest, Florida, California, and Northeast, and I have no idea where I would have learned it or how long ago.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #44 on:** February 07, 2016, 09:06:35 AM »

Would love to see the Appalachian Carols music someday, DR Elmore.

WELCOME BACK KATE!

YOU WERE MISSED!

I'm a day late on this one (probably a dollar short, too), but I just watched yesterday's special treat of THE JACK BENNY SHOW.

Wonderful. Every moment.

I don't say sleeping in.....but I hear it a lot!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #50 on:** February 07, 2016, 10:04:16 AM »

I am agog at the writing in yesterday's Jack Benny clip....of course Jack Benny's delivery put it over.....but everything worked and everything kept coming back to what had already been established:

The woman cutting the tie.....was Toni's grandmother.
The man with the five dollar bill....that Jack could use to buy a new tie.
The three girls bringing out the violin.....and all that followed...

I may have told this story before. Jack Benny used to come to Indianapolis every summer and do his Jack Benny Show at Starlight Musicals. He was always popular and had huge audiences. One woman wrote him a fan letter and ask him to have dinner at her house when he was in town. To her amazement, he showed up....and then continued to show up EVERY night he was in town for the free dinner. It was a great story and there were photos in the paper....

Staples.....doesn't know its 8x11 from its 11x17.

I can't remember not knowing the term "sleep (or sleeping) in." But to me, I would specifically use it when I would choose to not get up at my regular time. If I "slept late," to me that would mean that I didn't wake up when I had planned to.
