The only tix left for Sound of Music are $124-$194 apiece. I don't think I'll be going.

I'd miss it, too.

Oy!  Indeed.

That's why we skip a lot in Dayton and Cincinnati.  I'll pay higher prices in New York, but not out here in flyover country.

Most of the shows in flyover country aren't the shows I want to see.

I forget if I finished the story.....but add me to DR DRUXY & DR FJL on the unexpected $$$ roll.

The money put into our account from SS last Monday is indeed ours - a widow's benefit from my father's account due my mother.....which we knew nothing about.  I called yesterday, and the letter came today.

Winter coats and new shoes for all in the house!!!

AT&T is out one street doing crap and they either cut or knocked out my Time Warner cable so I have no Internet. And while they told me they're sorry they can't or won't fix it. I called Time Warner and while the nice lady has made an attempt to get them out here today it probably won't happen until ten tomorrow morning which was the first time they had. Thankfully I can still use the iPad for small stuff. Unbelievable

Across the street, and down three houses, from our second home in the Greater Detroit Area was a beautiful home that had been built by a Vernor.  I don't know which one.

Well, I'm off to my parents' for our quasi-weekly family dinner/visiting/card game night.  I don't know what we're having, but I'm sure it'll be something. ;)

Until later.

I was bemoaning the fact of no Internet until morning to Doug Haverty and he told me about something called personal hot spot - I didn't know what that meant and he said I should be able to create a hot spot from my iPhone and get on the Internet on the computer.  So, I called Apple, a lovely woman helped me set it up and voila I'm on the computer and on the Internet.  Who knew?  This is the good part of technology.  It does eat up your cellular data on the iPhone but I have 26gigs of it and she said that should be plenty, but she also said I can just turn it off when I'm not using it and that will conserve.

Ah technology.......however, I would venture to say that ANY PLACE that MR BK is would qualify as a HOT SPOT.

I am trying to figure out what excursion the folks on this riverboat cruise took today.  After dinner at a new restaurant down the road we saw 3 buses that had recently returned.  We have seen the steamboat go by us on the river but never seen it docked.

Hmmm, I can't find any stops in Vancouver, except for the 4 day trip beginning & ending in Vancouver.

I recall, years ago, when I had my condo in Calabasas:  An AT&T repair guy came out to do something with one of my neighbor's phone, and he screwed up everybody's line in the building.  I was home that day, and as he was leaving, I told him that he'd screwed up everybody's line, and his response was: "You'll have to call the office for a repair man."

Edward Albee has died. Loved several of his plays, the first pair of which, "American Dream" and "The Zoo Story," I had to read in high school.

I'm really having fun with Hail, Caesar!

It's not the Coens' best, but everyone seems to be enjoying themselves and the visuals are tremendous.

Saw a wonderful production of A Delicate Balance at the Berkshire Theater Festival back in the late 1980s with George Grizzard.
