Hey, that video is damned good, DR Elmore! Very nice. And yes, it makes me want to know and see and hear more about the show.

One little constructive comment, if I may: On my screen, the image of the performance portions are squished a little bit horizontally (or stretched a little bit vertically). Interview segments are perfect, and I'm no techie, but I'll betcha the performance ones could be pulled out to the full 16x9 sides and that might be the correction that's needed. If it can't be fixed, well, most people don't notice this stuff anyway. But I do.

P.S. -- DR Elmore should do commercials. "A little moonshine goes a looong way." Perfect!

Right after I watched "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" (starring David Hasslehoff), there was an episode of "The Big Interview," hosted by Dan Rather, where he interviewed The Hoff, and they showed video clips of David's music videos from the '80s and '90s. They stretched out the videos to fit the widescreen image, but they didn't have the black bars on the side to keep the original aspect ratio. It was really weird because the rest of the interview was, of course, native widescreen, but the videos were stretched. You'd think that someone who's producing an interview series starring Dan Rather would be able to fix it so that it doesn't look like an amateur show. $:-\$

This has been a frustrating afternoon. I needed to find a live performance that I had once had in my iTunes. So, it should be on a KaCie external hard drive from 2009. The problem is that one the hard drive the iTunes files are arranged by Artist, not Title, and each of the two discs has around 12-15 tracks. I cannot find them all! I found most of them under the performers' names, a few under "The Company," one under "Ensemble," but i am still missing about 4 tracks and it's working my last nerve since I know they are there, but where the fat hell are they?

Love the video on the home page!

That's great, Larry! I don't think I've ever seen you on video before.

I had forgotten that video was there! I look like a doddering old coot.

DR Ginny,

Congratulations on your 15 min basement walk.

I also walk around in my Mobile Home several times a day usually 15 minutes at a time also.

Had a not very good lunch at a local Japanese jernt that gets great reviews on Yelp. It was pretty bad - the teriyaki chicken was mediocre, the tempura batter was just weird. Not for me, I'm afraid. Sami's doing The Addam's Family at her school so she wanted to go over some stuff she was concerned about. I gave her a few little things to think about, and a couple of bits to do but she basically had a very good handle on the role.

Back from doctor and enjoying a nice lunch of salmon with green beans and scalloped potatoes.

Doctor has dropped my Metformin medication and doubled my Glipizide dosage. That works for me.

Other changes are coming up, but she needs to speak with a cardiologist first.

My strange episodes are either minor side effects of Lasix (aka furosemide) or the by-product of either low blood pressure or low blood sugar.

Good luck the change in the meds works. I have had those symptoms, very likely, due to low blood pressure and low sugar. Also from not drinking enough water before exercising.

What kind of name is Henry Higgins for a New York style bagel place!

It sounds silly to me.

Perseverance paid off. I got to the O's and under "Orchestra," I found the missing tracks. Took me half the damned day.

I'm trying to find a good mini-smartphone. Keith wants to change back to t-mobile from verizon. If we do that I will need a new phone and it makes sense for me to upgrade.

My real problem with the phones is that they don't fit into my pocket or purse.

That's my problem, also. I have a flip-phone that fits perfectly in the little fob pocket of my jeans, but I know if I get any kind of smart phone, that won't fit in there.

Well, time to leave work. I want to go to Costco so I might have one of their hot dogs, but we'll see if I feel like it when I get there.

Until later.

I'm hungry for a Costco dog with sauerkraut right now. Thanks, George.

I've started watching Grease Live! It has no reason for being, but it's not horrible. The camera work is good, and most of the supporting performances are good. But, again, why?

Vanessa Hudgens, channeling Stockard Channing, is really quite good. She may not have been right for Gigi, but keeps this production interesting.
