This afternoon we walked to the Savona Coffe Shop which is a four mile walk round trip, a bit farther if we walk along the river. Keith got tea for the walk back and I got a delicious kona coffee ice cream in a waffle cone.

Fortunately he had finished our treats and were on the last stretch home, on the path along the river behind the condos, when a when a bicyclist almost ran into us. We had stopped to chat with a woman and who was walking her puppy. The guy did not call out or ring a bell. He just raced between us, swerving first to avoid Keith & me and then again to avoid hitting the dog.

I really yelled at him to call out or ring a bell. I was furious. He did kind of acknowledge me by putting up his arm.

Bruce, how is your body doing the day after your fall?

Body is fine, thankfully.

It is hard to take a photo with a small camera when you can't see what you are doing. I ended up with a pretty video, I deleted, and not a photo of the tree. It didn't help that there isn't a click when I take a photo.

I just practiced wearing glasses and should be able to take photos even if I can't see.

Back from a fun signing. The day began with a disgusting e-mail - while I love being able to license from Rhino, they took so long doing Eubie (lesson learned not to announce until I know it's pressed) and because we have to use their plant, which is on the east coast, I had to have them three-day Fed Ex ship them. And that charge to my Paypal card was - wait for it - $800! I couldn't believe it. I always like to have over a thousand in that account but thanks to that disgusting bit of business I'm nowhere near it. Hopefully the dealer that owes almost that much will make his payment on Monday morning.

The signing went really well - a good amount of people (every seat taken) despite the usual horse manure of many people canceling at the last minute. My favorite was the one where the person said they were dizzy and needed to sleep and rest all day, but that they'd see me later at this show choir thing. Great. They've actually never made it to one signing. Hope they don't need my support anymore because they ain't getting it.

I read a few things - lots of laughs, happily. Then a good writer named Dennis Etchison came and asked if I'd speak to his writing class after the signing. So, I did that for twenty minutes and that was also great fun for me.

Then we went to BJ's for food. In attendance at the signing, the Miller family, Sami and her mom, Mark without Amy, Marshall Harvey, Henry Stanny, Brennley Brown and her mom, my friend Joanna Erdos, young Alexa and her mom Leslie (who occasionally posts here), and others, some of whom I did not know, which is always fun. About twenty-something in all.

Good afternoon.

Vibes and prayers and good thoughts for the friends of TCB and JohnG.

This afternoon we saw the tour of 42nd Street. Lots of fun.

I'm glad you enjoyed the show DR Laura.

Congrats to MR BK on the signing. I can't post anymore right now, I am dizzy and have to lie down and rest.

I suspect The Vixter will land a job rather quickly. She has lots of food service experience, always helpful in a pinch, and has a good work ethic.

Vibes it goes smoothly and she's happy with the move.

Thank you!

Good evening!

TCB · « **Reply #107 on:** April 09, 2016, 08:03:05 PM »

Ah, a typical Saturday night.

TCB · « **Reply #108 on:** April 09, 2016, 08:05:24 PM »

It's eight o'clock, and no one in the place.

TCB · « **Reply #109 on:** April 09, 2016, 08:06:05 PM »

Well, actually I am in the place, so that ain't cornbread.

I remember an ABC Movie of the Week that had two married couples Alan Alda and Barbara Feldon and Doug McClure and Connie Stevens.

They decided they wanted to switch partners. It was called Playmates, and was really pretty funny. What DR ELMORE wrote reminded me of my favorite part. Alda was kind of a pretentious guy who was trying to "educate" Stevens....who tried her best. Finally she snapped:

"And what about that play you took me to? I couldn't understand any of it! A girl came out a screamed 'I'm forbidden to love my brother', and a guy came out and yelled 'I'm forbidden to love my mother' then everybody started screaming....all I could think of was I'm forbidden to leave this theatre!!!"

The couples got back together.....Feldon was an artist and painted a naked picture of McClure which was pretty sexy....and the last scene was Alda back at the amusement park trying to pick up another young girl.....

I remember that movie!

It was a fairly nice day today.

TCB · « **Reply #113 on:** April 09, 2016, 08:10:00 PM »

The high was only in the 60's, but it was sunny.

TCB · « **Reply #114 on:** April 09, 2016, 08:10:57 PM »

We have another sunny day or two before the rain returns.

TCB · « **Reply #115 on:** April 09, 2016, 08:11:52 PM »

But when we have rain, BK, we have rain.

Thank you all for the kind words and vibes for my friend, Tracy, and her family.

I found out a little more information about Felis' son and grandson, and it makes me even sadder. It appears that her son, Mark, went to the hospital with H1N1. When his girlfriend wanted to visit him, she couldn't find anyone to take care of their 7-month-old son because the few people they knew were afraid that he might have the virus, too. So, she took the baby to the hospital with her. The baby seems to have gotten the virus while he was in the hospital and was dead within a day.

So very sad, John.
