I've been at home watching several shows on my DVR, but now I'm off to my parents' house.  I was going to go to a movie, but it didn't work out.  We'll go next weekend.

Be back later.

Back from an omelet and a bagel and listening to the Bruno Walter Mahler 2.

[Jeanne]

I drove over to the nearby Subway. I'd never been in one before. I had a Veggie Delite sandwich on wholegrain flatbread. It wasn't bad. I'm looking for new eateries, as so many of my favorites have either closed or gone downhill. I'm ALWAYS looking for new eateries. Lots of them around, but few I'd eager to return to.

[Jeanne]

Was your omelet amusing, Bruce? Was it witty and entertaining?

[Jeanne]

My sandwich was fresh, but rather noncommittal.

This morning, the service men arrived.  At 9:30 it was running and I took garbage to the basement.  When I left for City Center, the service men were gone and it's no longer working.  I just dragged myself, my bag, my cane, and a heavy bag of groceries up three flights of stairs that slope inward toward the stairwell.  I've sent the landlord two emails today and yesterday, and I made a call to our building management several weeks ago.  If I fall down those stairs and survive, I will own this building.

I'm glad you're able to keep your sense of humor.

It really frosts me that landlords are able to get away with this sort of stuff. I don't know what the answer is, but it clearly isn't right.

Elevator vibes for DR ELMORE.

Did DR RLP's elevator get fixed, or did I dream that he posted about it?

[Jeanne]

Most of the tenants in my building are from third-world countries. Perhaps to them the plumbing issues just seem normal. I suspect that they're more willing to go along with the manager's inconsideration than I am. If they're illegals they certainly wouldn't want to draw attention to themselves.

[Jeanne]

Hi, Jack.

he posted about the elevator, but I don't know if it was fixed or not.

[Jeanne]

this kid needs a nap. I'm falling asleep at the keyboard.

TTFN.

Wrote some brief liner notes, have chosen several songs and will choose more shortly.

At some point I'll watch something.

This is what I saw Saturday while I was eating my dinner

This what I saw Sunday while browsing the gift shop at Signature theatre

I tried to swipe something for Jack but it wouldn't fit in my bag

The new MGM National Harbor Casino is to the left of the big wheel.

Glad you made it home safe and sound, DR vixmom!

A year ago this week I went to the Signature Theatre for the first performance of La Cage aux Folles.  And went back, let's just say "several" times after that!

Page five?  Really?

Listening to a wonderful performance of the Sibelius violin concerto.

Memorial Day greetings!  Our low-profile holiday weekend continues.  Richard still has a sore throat, but my cough seems to be subsiding.  I can tell I'm feeling better by the motivation I feel to do things like read, craft, and light household chores.

I am glad you are feeling better and you have had this longer so it is about time.

[Jane]

Finale finished.  I need some breakfast before I head out.

See, vixmom?  See??

I had my first Bob Evans breakfast yesterday

That boggles the mind, but congratulations!

   

We dont  have  Bob Evans on LI

Oh, I know that -- we don't either.  But they're in all the other states both of us frequent.

So now you know!  Bob Evans today, Crackel Barrel tomorrow, etc.

And don't forget to try Original Pancake House when you find one.  They've been branching out, slowly...

We used to eat at the Original Pancake House in Michigan and then at the original Original Pancake House in Portland.  Keith won't go near one now because they are simply too good.  The website highlights their two specialty pancakes.  Our favorite is the Apple Pancake.

There are some days we don't get to page four by 9:30 p.m.

Maybe people just like talking about soups.

Soup is good

Hopefully, it'll never come to that.  But...if you did own the building, you might finally be able to afford to record all the shows that you'd like!

So, our family room was originally an enclosed porch that two owners ago was made into a year-round space.  Richard and I were sitting in there and I switched on the lamp next to my chair.  The bulb burned out and all the power in that room went out.  Richard tried the circuit breaker in the basement that's marked "back room" and - nada.  He and Rob investigated further to find that the portion of the basement nearest that room above is also out, including the washer (not the dryer, because it's on a 220 outlet).  So, any TV watching will have to take place in my Momcave and, if we want to watch a DVD it'll have to be on my laptop or Richard's.  And tomorrow, we have to find an electrician.  The one that did all the work here 3 years ago has retired.

Love this!
