Well now I am told that my slideshows will be shown at the Reunion on a LAPTOP.

Now I know how all of those directors felt when their CinemaScope movies were panned and scanned for TV. Only one person at a time will really be able to see the show.

I thought about taking the TV that has been in my Dad's room, but it won't read any of the inputs no matter what cable I use. And I hate to BUY a new TV just for the reunion.....

I know First World Problems.

OH NO!!!

No longer in this world. Sometimes, more than other times, these things are unbelievable.

Damn it to HELL.

DR Laura, I saw this and thought of you!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #39 on:** March 01, 2018, 10:34:01 AM »

Especially sad because Tom Jones, at our talkback, spoke a bit about how losing his wife had been such a blow, and how he has been coming out from that and, even now, just getting back into the world. He also spoke, naturally, about the always close friendship with Harvey, and now Harvey dies at 88, while Tom has just turned 90. And Tom was so robust that evening. Hate this.

So sorry to hear about Harvey, a dear, dear man and a dear friend. He's been struggling for the past decade but always seemed to come back. We spoke for a couple of hours in the latter part of last year. Too many memories - notes will deal with it.

My pension landed in my bank account this morning, and they've raised it by $11.00! I hope it's a nice surprise and not an error.

I wait for the Ohio property tax check to clear along with my utilities check and other payments.

Congrats on the raise, Larry! I got my income tax refund yesterday! Now, if my credit card issues would just get resolved, I think I can pay that off.

I just read that Quentin Tarantino is making a movie, ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD with Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Hmmm...

I wonder if this is going to be an adaptation of my book.

If so, which one will play Harry Pennypacker?

I am shocked. Really, a laptop! Where is the reunion going to be? It is possible there is something at the location that will work better, or they can rent something that loops the slideshow.

I'm glad I got some of the Harvey doodles to good homes in the last Indiegogo campaign. I still have so many wonderful ones left, plus all his wonderful notes to me over the years.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #55 on:** March 01, 2018, 12:56:01 PM »

Yes, and it's a reminder that I need to get off the dime and talk to the local framer about how I'd like mine done. I love these.

I have to decide whether to go to this dinner thing. On the one hand, it's Linda Hart and I don't see her all that often. On the other hand, I'm not sure I'm feeling at all social. I have to decide in the next fifteen minutes and call.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #57 on:** March 01, 2018, 01:49:36 PM »

GO! You'll be glad you did - she has something interesting to tell you.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #58 on:** March 01, 2018, 02:12:20 PM »

DR JANE it's the local golf clubhouse.....I doubt they have anything there.....but we shall see.

I think DRs vixmom and ChasSmith will have a good time at Subways Are For Sleeping this weekend. There are some book issues, and I wish I liked more that 50-75% of the score. The cast is game and good, and David Hancock Turner's piano work is really lovely. I had a very good time.
