I just heard from one of my favorite directors and teachers in college.  His daughter, who was a lawyer and animal rights activist in Chicago, died this week.  She was their only child.  So sad.

I'm so sorry, Larry.

When it’s snowing in Tacoma ...

Sounds like a song, TCB.

Scans to "How Are Things in Glocca Morra?"

Exactly.

Yes, it is from my "Weather In Washington" CD.

The other big hit from that CD is "Sleetless In Seattle"

Where can I order a copy? Is it a Kritzerland release?

Very sad, Elmore. My sympathies to him and his family.

Today I had my first visit with my old--although young--osteopath at the new medical group that he, then I, moved to. He and I were both disgusted with UCLA, and from what he told me, things have gotten even worse. The medical offices are in a new, upscale complex with Whole Foods Market and a movieplex. Although attractive, it was very difficult to get from the parking garage to the offices. Very little signage and elevators that only go from level 1 to the parking garage. I had to ask several people how to get to the medical offices on the third floor. I doubt that the architects gave any thought whatsoever to handicapped individuals. In fact, I question whether much thought was involved at all. I finally found the offices and left a trail of breadcrumbs to help me next time. I know it's not always easy to retrofit an older building, but this complex is NEW!

My condolences to your former teacher. :(

It was also FREEZING in there. I asked a nurse if it was always that cold--it's been quite chilly here all week--and she said they haven't figured out how to adjust the temperature in some of the rooms. The thermostat in the room read 72.5, but it clearly wasn't. Perhaps the last full moon or Mercury retrograde fiddled with all the LA thermostats.

I'm glad to have my old osteopath again. He was my doctor at UCLA. He's a caring person and he knows me.

Actually, it was rejected by Kritzerland.  I believe it is available from K-Tel Records.

From now until 10:30 Monday I am in intensive IRS prep.  I hope it goes well and easily since I've already categorized my receipts.  My Canon calculator will e churning out tapes like mad.
DR vixmom, you showed admirable restraint.  I would be on this harpy until he was rubble and publicly shamed.

That lousy excuse for a human being is overdue for a mighty fall.  How can this behavior have gone on up to now without a major takedown?  He didn’t just start being this way.

It's about an immature, incompetent ass trying to protect his territory from being found out.  I'd be on him until he's unemployed.


He's senior partner of his own firm

He'd have to be. I doubt that many people would tolerate having him under them.

Yes, it is very sad. But I'm pleased you're still in touch with the teacher.

DR Jeanne sometimes offices have warming blankets.  I hope next time they can provide a detailed map to their office.  It is great though you are back with the doctor you trust.

I just got off the phone from my first weird phone call with Apple Care.  I could not hear the young lady nor get her to raise her volume.  I finally hung up in disgust.  I'll call back when I've calmed down.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts.  I met her 20+ years ago when she was interning with a law firm in Manhattan.  She later decided to settle in Chicago.  Her father was a wonderful stage director and he liked my work.  I was in his productions of Ionesco's Foursome,  Anouilh's Thieves' Carnival, and Pinter's The Birthday Party.

He also directed one of the worst things I ever appeared in, a summer production of Bye Bye Birdie that sucked on every level.  He used to bring a thermos of martinis to rehearsal and I swear he was drunk by the end of the night.  It was a dreadful mess.

If that happens again ask to speak to a manager.

Yes, they need to provide blankets. I had to remove my clothes and put on a gown, which I don't normally need to do to see him. I had my fleece jacket draped around my shoulders and my knees pulled up so that the gown covered my feet. I made several comments, such as, "oh! the floor's cold!" but clearly they know they have a problem, but haven't done enough to address it. So Not My Problem and so common.

At my last visit to my gynecologist it was a bit chilly, nothing what you are describing, and to my surprise I was told to wear my warmer sweater instead of the gown.  I was much more comfortable waiting.

Re the map to the office, when I phoned for the appointment I was pleased to speak to a NOT-twenty-something male who had a good speaking voice, understandable and who also went into detail and answered all my questions. So different from UCLA! I'd looked on Google Maps, but it wasn't clear where the offices were. Once he explained that they're in the same complex as Whole Foods, I said, "Oh, don't look for medical offices, look for Whole Foods!" But from there he didn't elaborate. When I arrived I mentioned how difficult it was to find their offices. He said they're working on better signage. But doesn't that tell you to give out more than just the street address on the phone? It took me 20 minutes to drive over there, then 15 minutes once parked to find the office. Does this not occur to any of the managers? Does not anyone think, "It's really hard to find us. We need to let people know where we are?" The text they use to remind you of the appointment links to a map, but the map only gets you t the building, not the office.
