I decided to make a trip to the 68th Street post office since I detest my local one so much.  Now that I'm home, I have no plans.

I went hiking today up my mountain -- first time in a long time. I need to ice my foot now.

Elmore, I stopped at the pet store where they have rescue kittens. There were two adorable gray tabbies rubbing up against the window, and a tux doing the same. I had to leave.

My brother-in-law and sister-in-law (DH's brother and his wife) are in Orlando, awaiting their shelter volunteer assignment. Because they are better  than I am.

Wow DR Laura.  Good for them but do they rescue and foster kittens?  They are just different, not better :)

It's a beautiful day in Northern Virginia--70 degrees and partly sunny skies. And best of all:  low humidity!

You should have taken them all home with you.  I'm afraid that's what I will do!

Hi all.  Just wanted to let you know that as of now I am doing ok.  I am as prepared as I can be, I have a propane generator , 2 tanks, several cases of water and a water bob for the bathtub that I will fill tomorrow morning.  I have a hand crank radio and flashlights so I won't run out of power for them.  Toby has lots of can food and treats.  I have his tag and a new name tab with my name and phone number on it.  If you go to Facebook you can see that I put covers over the windows.  I don't know if they will hold or not but I think it will be better then tape. I did the best job I could.  There was no way I could lift plywood even if I could have found it.  I'm making ice right now and will be doing as much laundry as possible so I have mostly clean clothes.  They say the power will be going out and will be out for maybe 5 days or longer so I don't know when I'll be able to post or get a message out that Toby and I are ok.  I'm sure the cell towers will go down as well as the wi-fi.  Vibes and prayers are welcome.  God willing Toby and I will come though this like we have all of life's hurricanes--we've sure had our share of them but if not, for whatever reason, know I love you all.  Also know I have the most important thing for this hurricane--my lotto tickets, I'll be damned if I was going to let my numbers come up after 29 years and miss them because of a little wind and rain.  Hugs!

Oh, my!  It looks good, but I don't know about chunks of apple and Snickers together.

I had an omelet and a bagel, did a few things, and am now home and not going anywhere.  Did some more garage stuff, too.

When Sony/BMG released their inexpensive Ormandy Conducts Sibelius set I naturally got it, as I wanted to hear the 70s RCA recordings, which I didn't care for at ALL - performances were okay but not great and sound was so sub-Columbia that it was hard to get past it.  But they also included all his Columbia stereo stuff, and that sounded as splendid as always although I have other performances that I like better.  But for some wacky reason what they didn't include were his mono Sibelius recordings from the early 1950s.  Since they included symphonies four and five I was most irritated as I really wanted to hear them because the only time he recorded the fifth in stereo was in the 70s for RCA and I really don't like it.  But some company overseas did a vinyl transfer of the two Ormandy mono Sibelius albums - the two symphonies and then two tone poems, The Swan of Tuolena and Finlandia.  So, I got that and I just heard it and the fourth symphony is fantastic, and the fifth is a stunner - maybe, musically, my favorite version ever now.  Yes, it's mono so it doesn't sound as enveloping as the stereo versions I have, but it's good mono (one can only imagine what the tapes sound like if the vinyl transfer is this decent), and the engineering is superb.  So happy with this and am about to listen all over again.  I'm also lending a period comic book to the Lost in Yonkers production so that it looks like it should.
