Well, I really need to get to bed now.  I have interviews fairly in the morning.  One of my staff retired last month (the one who replaced me when I became the supervisor) and I need to hire her replacement.  We have a couple of internal candidates (including one already in our department), and a couple of externals.  We'll see how it goes.

The interviews are over.  And that's all I'll say.

We had errands to do downtown this morning so Keith left me there to walk home.  About 3 quarters of the way home I ran into my neighbor so I turned around and walked with her.  Between the morning walk and afternoon one with Keith I think I went 9 1/2 miles.  I wish I would find my fitbit to record my milage.

It was a beautiful day in the DC area.  In the 80's with low humidity.  It won't last for long, though.

I wasn't bidding on anything, just observing, but I was right - ALL lots stay open until the entire auction receives no bids for thirty minutes.  I'm cutting and pasting what their site says, which I interpret quite differently.

THe optifast has been the most successful although it is hard to keep to it stictly. I have lost almost 50lbs

My friend Margo went through Optifast twice.  She gained back the weight both times.  About 15 years ago, she wanted to adopt another baby from China and not have to buy two airplane seats for herself, so she looked at other options.  Gastric bypass was not something that she was going to consider, at all.  We went to a presentation of a program offered through (but not by) Group Health called Health Management Resources (HMR).  It was like Optifast (all or mostly meal replacement shakes), but not as calorically restrictive, and medical testing wasn't necessary. 

On a whim, I decided to do it also, so we both went through the program.  I lost 122 pounds, but the company didn't want to send two people from Seattle to Olympia once a week anymore and the program ended for us.  Reality set in and we both gained back most of the weight...not all, but most.  Coincidentally, we recently decided to do the HMR shakes again on our own, although not full bore.  I've actually started changing some of the things that I eat, and have lost some weight already.

I didn't know the thirty-minute rule.   I knew about the "seven-block rule" - not to say anything negative about a show that any friends are involved in until you're seven blocks away from the theatre.

Not living in New York, I've never heard that, but it sounds like a good rule.

;)

DRs, do any of you have a copy of the musical version of Spitfire Grill that you could send me as mp3 files?

I cannot believe the CD is out of print!

I have long wanted the recording of that show. It's out of print, as you said, and copies are outrageously priced.

I've seen the show a couple of times and love it!  I have the CD buried somewhere.  I may already have the MP3s.  I'll look when I get home tonight. :)

But I just had a great little session in the Music Room, listening to the LP of Ned Rorem songs I'd picked up at a record sale some time ago and which I'd pulled out when BK was posting about him.  It's this one, but mine is the original Columbia LP and in beautiful condition:  https://goo.gl/02KqUm

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL.  I have a new piece of Found Treasure.  I had just transferred the LP to its new sleeve, and since the original paper sleeve was torn, I was about to toss it when my hand felt something small that was still inside -- which was weird since I'd already handled it twice without detecting it.  It was a postcard from Bologna, Italy.  The signature, Jane Angelovich, meant nothing to me until I looked back at the record jacket, and there was Gianna D'Angelo, soprano.  Bingo!  She'd mailed it to friends in Hartford and the note included "Am glad you enjoyed hearing my records.  I hope to make more soon."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gianna_D%27Angelo

That's pretty cool, ChasSmith!

I slept rather well.  I have to be out of here around 9:15.  i'm meeting my friend Ben Davis, who's got two weeks off of The Sound of Music tour, for coffee.  I haven't seen him since he came to the Merry Widow concert at Trinity Church two years ago.


Dang two weeks off for coffee!  I can't even get ten minutes!

My favorite diet was the raw diet. I was on it for 21 days and lost 21 pounds. I felt better, slept better and felt more positive. It's just almost impossible to follow, especially back then when I wrote about food.

It's my understanding that everything you eat is literally raw...no cooking at all.  I'm sure that there's more to it than just that, though.

Exactly what it says: Nothing is cooked. Nothing, in fact, is heated past Laura's temperature high today: 108 degrees. No hot coffee, no steaming hot soup, no steak off the grill, nothing cooked.

Visited Mom this afternoon and took her a slice of Fr. Richard's retirement cake.  She was kind of detached, but that's nothing new.

We had a surprise visit from Richard's brother this evening.  His wife is out of town tending to her sister who had triple by-pass surgery today.  Some vibes for Janet would be appreciated.

I'm also updating my Kindle, which has been kind of involved because I had to do it manually by connecting the device to my computer via USB cable.  I think the procedure is almost complete.

I find it interesting that the two movies I watched last night and tonight, The Naked Spur and Youth, both have main women characters named Lena in them.

Youth is an odd little movie. Pretentious at times but visually interesting. And good performers having fun. Harvey Keitel is subdued and fun. Michael Caine is just charming. Rachael Weisz, Paul Dano and most of the rest of the cast are having a great time. Jane Fonda was probably also having a good time. Her one big scene is filled with scenery chomping. But the makeup people made her look like a drag queen horror version of Karen Black.
