I'm sorry, George. What does that mean for you?

Well, a decision has been announced regarding who was hired as the new manager. It's not the internal candidate.

From what you said, was this a surprise to you? I hope once the new manager settles in you will be happy with this person.

It means that the new manager will have a learning curve that the interim manager wouldn't have had. And it was a surprise to us. This new person also doesn't have the multi-branch library experience that the current interim manager has. And all four of us supervisors that this position supervises were very strongly in favor of the current interim manager. The interim manager knew that she might not get the position and had made peace with that but that doesn't mean that we have to like it.

But I'm sure that the new hire will (eventually) be good. She was a strong second candidate to us supervisors.

This is what I think of as chartreuse:

I don't love the color but I don't hate it either!!! Your right John, it's called chartreuse!!!

You mean George.

True, however John also said "Chartreuse is alcohol. That color makes me want to drink."

Yes, well...I said it first!

Here's the bile-resembling car color.

I actually like that color. And I work with a woman who has a car that same color.

I think I would like it if it was more gold.

I'm not a fan of gold for cars...but that's just me.

Isn't chartreuse the color a bit more green. This one looks more yellow to me.

Different monitors can show the same color differently. To me, the car does look like there's enough green in it. It could also be the shading of the image and just our perceptions of it all.

Well, I must be off. I need to be at a meeting for Theater Artists Olympia, but it's not a board meeting. A couple of us are meeting with some college students who (I think) want to make us a project and write grants for us! That would be cool...assuming I'm remembering that correctly.

Be back later.

Does the interim manager still have a job there?

We have a couple of cars in our area that are that color....it does make you look!

The first time I remember seeing that color was when my Mom had a new set of MelMac dinnerware.....that was one of the four colors.

We still have a cup and saucer or two....

I am finally posting from home, following what started out as a really lovely drive through Ohio, but turned into a grueling drive through Pennsylvania. The latter would be due to completely unexplained traffic standstills on I-80 out in the middle of nowhere.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #101 on:** July 20, 2017, 06:22:48 PM »

Nowhere, man.

(Hmm. Catchy.)

I love pesto. But I love all of its components, individually and together, so it's a win-win.

I got to know it in the late 1980s, as BK suggests was the time when it was becoming a "thing". There was a nice little restaurant near the western end of the Sunset Strip called Cafe L.A. which I discovered and frequented while living in West Hollywood in 1986-1988. I believe the dish I had most often was the linguini pesto. I also had to learn to go easy on it -- pesto can be very rich and filling, so I've learned to be careful and not binge on it.

Watching the rest of The Well-Digger's Daughter. It proudly wears its heart on its sleeve. Grand romantic tale.

DR Ginny, in an interesting blast from the past, I received an email from Jim Martin today.

O. M. G., send me an email and tell me about it!

There were moments in Wonder Woman when I thought Chris Pine resembled Jim 40 years ago.

I haven't heard from the doctor. I have to think this back thing is sciatica. Not fun. But I start physical therapy tomorrow.

Finished watching The Keepers, a new Netflix seven-part documentary that really could have been told in many less parts equally well - but they like to stretch these things out and it dissipates the power. But it's shocking, infuriating, you will hate the protection of priests even more than you probably already do, and in the end, after lots of theories, government and city agencies either not complying with freedom of information act or conveniently losing key evidence, unfortunately there is no closure for any of it. The murder that's central to the story remains unsolved. And the Catholic church continues to act in very shameful and sickening ways. Watch for yourselves.

Then I watched one of my favorite hour-long episodes in the history of TV - an Alfred Hitchcock Hour presentation of The Jar, based on a Ray Bradbury story. It's just perfect.

My first Freshly meal was a bit strange but I kind of liked it for that reason. A kind of vegetarian chile, fairly spicy, with white rice to cool the palate. I think maybe chicken parmesan for tonight, but not sure - certainly it will be something with meat so I get some protein, which is better than antitein.

Are the hour-longs available in HD now? I haven't kept up. I do know they're not on disc, so ... Netflix?

DR VIXMOM you might be thinking about Bard's Special Care Cream....I get it on AMAZON and we use it three times a day....

I also use Eucerin which was also recommended.

Eucerin. That's the one! I am glad you have it

Well I watched 11 minutes of the "new" version of the Gong Show. I was so repulsed by the host, that I went to BookFace and expressed my displeasure.

It was then that a fellow BookFacer let me know that said host is actually Mike Myers wearing a mask and playing a part!

Said fellow BookFacer was Family Affair's own Kathy "Cissy" Garver.

I sort of feel like Oscar Levant did when he was in the makeup room at 2oth Century-Fox one morning and had his grammar corrected by Marilyn Monroe.....

ChasSmith, the entire run of the hour-long Hitchcock hours are available in a region two DVD set. So, you get the two best - The Jar and Unlocked Window, but there are other gems in the series, too.
