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

There must be places that rent something for events. I have seen a number of slide shows over the years.

Newsflash: You can lose your job for saying "No the boss stepped out, can I take a message?" (when the boss is standing right there).

They say that's a real lie, not a "white lie."

How about , he's on another call, can he call you back?

I was hoping for a nice quiet day at home but I am seeing the matinee of Subways Are For Sleeping. My Guys & Dolls and How to Succeed . . . colleague Jason works for the Jule Styne office and he's behind most of this Subways restoration. He had offered me a ticket for Saturday matinee, but I am committed to see The Great Cat Massacre that my friend Ella Martin is directing. She and I will have a nosh after the show.

Ooh ooh.. Chas and I are going to,see the Sinday matinee

I fed the babies around 7:00 this morning, then went back to bed until 7:45, put on the coffee, fed the birds, and took my bath. I'm hoping that when I return home this afternoon there will be a working elevator. I cannot carry 40 lbs of kitty litter up three flights of stairs.

So was the elevator working?

No bears yet this morning.

I'm told that my town of Danbury has some 60 bears on record now. Somehow or other the towns get them tagged so there's a relatively accurate count. There's also a state website for reporting every sighting. Nathan reported the one here at the house, and I'll add the one down the road, even though he says it had to be the same bear. Oy!

I was going to,comment on your bear pictures but I fell asleep yesterday when I was trying to catch up ....

Ha! I guess the new white lie rule would say a lie is a lie. I am mystified, though certainly no fan of Hope Hicks or the people involved.

That must have been quite scary... my inlaws occassionally had bears on their acreage

FJL · « **Reply #68 on:** March 01, 2018, 06:19:17 PM »

I guess people will just have to say "I'm sorry, he or she just doesn't want to talk to you."

Or let all calls be screened by voicemail, maybe.

So DR Elmore is seeing Subways today or Saturday? Today, right?

Vixmom and I will be at the Sunday matinee. I need to get my album out and renew my acquaintance with the score!

I have never seen or heard the show...I am looking forward to learning something new

Or simply, "He's not available." You don't have to tell them...for you.

I'm up, I'm up - oh, wait...

Crazy little day. Spent quite a bit of time with my Harvey memories, which are plentiful and many and which I'll share in the notes.

The garage is in MUCH better array now and one can actually walk in and fine things. I found some very interesting things, including about forty CDs, still sealed, that I suppose I'd intended to listen to at some point, including an SACD release of an Ernest Bloch piece - how that ended up somewhere without being played is anyone's guess. The soundtracks are mostly going up on Amazon, as they're all going for fifty bucks or more and now I'll happily undercut everyone.

Picked up a small package, and then had my meal o' the day - that Japanese restaurant, had the combo box - teriyaki chicken, etc. Quite full. I'd already decided tonight's dinner thing wasn't going to work for me - too chilly and I have to be very careful - everyone I know is sick.

Hello, everyone.

TCB, are you feeling any better?

Jeanne · « **Reply #81 on:** March 01, 2018, 07:02:03 PM »

I had a nice comfort food lunch at BK and my favorite Westside joint (but without BK). That was followed by two hours or so at T-Mobile, trying to fix my iPhone. I think it's better, but it's not completely fixed. The two guys really gave it their all. Have you noticed how days which have been designed Me days have a way of filling up with crap?

Jeanne · « **Reply #82 on:** March 01, 2018, 07:03:32 PM »

Is "crap" considered a swear word to some? It isn't to me, but I'm never clear on exactly what is or what isn't. If lies come in different colors, then surely other words do, too.

Jeanne · « **Reply #83 on:** March 01, 2018, 07:06:41 PM »

I am very tired. I'm sooo glad the weekend's almost here--and I rarely say that.

Vibes to all.

TTFN.

Oh, yes. We await an elevator status report.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #85 on:** March 01, 2018, 07:11:06 PM »

Just finished watching "Tom Jones."

The elevator: when I returned from the matinee, the elevator crew was removing all their machinery and equipment. The goddamned city inspection is not until Monday, so I have 40 lbs of litter I cannot bring upstairs sitting under the mailboxes and at least five more damned days of carting things up the stairs. On my way out at 1:00, I ran intro Val and gave him hell about this. what the fat hell was last week's "inspection"? I need to do laundry desperately.

I told him I wasn't blaming him, but I felt we'd been fucked by the building management. we were told the elevator would be out until Feb. 28, six weeks. We were told three weeks ago they were finishing up early, we were told last Friday it would be finished by Wednesday and no one said one word about a 5-day wait after that for a city inspection.

But who the hell's bitter?

I'm up, I'm up - oh, wait. What I am doing is listening to music whilst listing a bunch of soundtrack CDs that I had no intention of ever listening to. I do have a stack to listen to, and then some of those may go up for sale.

bk · « **Reply #87 on:** March 01, 2018, 07:18:20 PM »

Now playing: Bloch, Bridge, and Hough, pieces for cello and orchestra.

Page three? Really?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #89 on:** March 01, 2018, 07:50:08 PM »

DR JANE one look at our budget would tell you that renting any equipment would be out of the question.

I am trying to think about a member of my family who might need a television and buying one for $150 or so.....option B. After the reunion, it could give it to someone.
