I'm trying to calm him down. He is too agitated.

Well, I need to leave work now.  I'll eventually get home, but not just yet.  I need to do a little shopping first.

Be back later.

Either I got him calmed down or he began drinking. I guess either is fine with me.

Laura,  can you share the story behind your quote?

It was part of a dream I had a week or so ago. We were watching a skit about going to hell, and a kid looked distressed. I asked him if he was ok, and he said to me, "I'm sorry; I'm from Minneapolis."

We have our new refrigerator door and we expect the problem to be fixed.  To begin with this door fits better as well as opening and closing properly.  They should have replaced the door after the first visit with the repairman, or at least after the 3rd visit but not over a year later.

Why didn't you just get a new fridge. So bizarre!

Because they were able to fix it.  For some strange reason they just weren't willing to replace the door at first.  Instead they spent money on replacing all sorts of things.

The frig would "sweat" when the humidity went up to a certain level.  We are high right now which is a good way to know if the replacement truly fixed the problem.

DR elmore I am sorry I could not open the podcast and listen to your interview.

Jane (and anyone else), I can e-mail you a link to download an MP3 of the interview.

I would appreciate that :)

PM sent!

Thank you.  I will look at it tomorrow.

It was my friend Ping's son who lives in Santa Clarita, and he got evacuated last night. So, vibes for all of those affected by the fires there.

VIBES TO PING'S SON AND EVERYONE AFFECTED BY THE FIRES!!!

Thank you. They are settled in at a friend's house, but still worried, as you can imagine, about smoke damage or worse.

We're having a nice little thunderstorm happening outside right now. And a much-needed amount of rain.

It'll be great for the two plants I put in this Saturday, a tiny avocado tree in the ground and a plumbago in a large pot.

And while the plants are getting a dose of fresh water, I'm watching the stale, dreadful lies of "Night and Day" with Cary Grant and Alexis Smith. Even the music feels muted and dull. How do you make Cole Porter music dull?

Well, there's no way I'm going to make it through this tonight, but I started THE RUSSIA HOUSE which I'd never seen, and it's wonderful. 

Got about a third of the way through it before realizing sleep would overtake me before long.  Will probably just start over tomorrow night, picking up details that didn't sink in this time, then carry on from there.  I like to attack movies that way sometimes.  Either that way, or watching it all the way through and just absorbing whatever I absorb, then do a little reading or something on it and ravenously devour it in another viewing.  Movies that have anything much to do with spying are ripe for this kind of approach, due to their inherit complexity.

We had a couple of incredible storms this evening, and while the power stayed solid, the landline phone went dead.  That's highly unusual.  It must have been off for four hours or more, and I just noticed it had a dial tone again.

Hey, you know what pleasantly surprised me?  Ken Russell, playing a role in this one.  I suspect he's more or less playing himself, but it's perfect.
