Two!

[Jane]

I guess my problem is I don’t care about Wahlberg enough.

Neither do I but the story is interesting.

[FJL]

I guess my problem is I don’t care about Wahlberg enough.

But good luck on that Pulitzer, Fred.

It would be for the HHW site, of course.  (I mean, if HARVEY could get a Pulitzer, why not?)

[Jane]

When we lived in Bloomfield, Michigan Tim Allen was arrested for drunk driving about the same time Craig was driving home on the same street as the arrest.  While I held no grudges Allen had become a success after serving time in prison I was furious he was released on the DUI without consequences.

Good morning, and almost afternoon.

[TCB]

I think I got about four hours of sleep.

[TCB]

I just couldn't seem to drift off.

[vixmom]

I just looked up, and...  IT'S SNOWING.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[ChasSmith]

All over!  Fairly large area of snow, but it was mostly to the north of us and it didn't stick on anything that mattered!   

[Jane]

I have been receiving a lot of calls on my cell phone from local, Ashland included, businesses soliciting.  Today I asked the local caller how he got my cell number.  He said it is public information now and I am not on the "do not call" list.

I looked it up and as far as I can tell cell phone numbers are still private. 

I also ranted to the guy how rude cell phone calls are because they ring in public places.

[Jane]

I am thinking of putting my number on the no call list even if it isn't necessary.  I just have this little worry that then it would make my cell number public.

[bk]

I'm up, I'm up - a little over eight hours of sleep.

[bk]

Where is the Pulitzer already?

[bk]

There really aren't that many spoilers on Amazon.

[Laura]

Thyroid. Same thing as Joshie. I hope we have a better outcome this time.

[FJL]

There really aren't that many spoilers on Amazon.

There were enough.

Skip actually was asking where the hell the damn book was already; Ok, he really just asked when I thought we were getting it, i added the other stuff.  I hope it's today or tomorrow, because I don't want him to start a new book ahead of it.  (He was eyeing War and Peace, and I didn't want GEE toi be pushed behind that.    )

[elmore3003]

I'm home from City Center and waiting to hear from my friend Roy.

[FJL]

Where is the Pulitzer already?

They're not announced until next week, I think (or the week after.)  Maybe Larry can nominate the site; it worked for Lapine and Sondheim.

[FJL]

Or maybe it was the Worcestershire Prize that they were talking about for HHW.

[FJL]

BK - could you check - I think I ordered GEE via email and paypal.  is it possible it didn't go out with the other orders?

[FJL]

Now I get worried every time I see an email with someone's name and accomplishments starting the email that it's going to be an obituary. 

I got an email that started something like "[so and so], acclaimed award-winning star of the Metropolitan Oper" and the subject was cut off, and I was saying "Oh no, she's so young" - but I clicked and it was just an ad for an appearance somewhere that I'm on the mailing list.  Whew!

 

[bk]

FJL, all books were shipped at the same exact time, and yes yours was there because I signed it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

H-E-Double Hockey Sticks No!

War and Peace only took me a week to read. Of course, I was younger then and living in Middletown, where there was nothing better to do.

[FJL]

I'm looking at an old email.  So a collaborator had disappeared (really, no responses to emails or calls for IIRC three weeks) and we were concerned.  She finally wrote that her aunt was sick in Connecticut, the aunt was like a second mother to her, and she's so sorry to have been out of communication despite getting all our emails. 

We asked if she needed anything, any help at task in NY while she was in Connecticut.  I think I said I hope she'll just drop us a quick one line email just to let us know she's gone on a family matter.  (Indeed, since she had a whole history of getting upset and not communicating for a while before, we never knew if she was gone on a trip without telling us, was upset about something and stayed quiet for a while, stuck in a project for work, so we didn't know if she was even still on the project not hearing any answers for about 3 weeks.)  She didn't understand why I thought a quick one-line email could be necessary.  A few months later, when she got upset about something else, an email ending with: 

"By the way, my dead aunt thanks you for your generosity of allowing me to spend time at her death bed earlier this year."

[FJL]

The things we forget when we think the project we're working on is turning out well enough artistically.

Moral:  Emails never go away once they're sent. 

[FJL]

Hmm, "My Dead Aunt Thanks You" - the title of my new "passive-digressive" musical comedy

[FJL]

I recall once we had company and we all were talking making demos at home, and Skip said "My amp died yesterday" and a friend said "I'm so sorry, Skip, you could have cancelled on us tonight."  We all looked at the friend strangely.  Turned out the friend thought Skip had said "My aunt died."

Topic of the Day:  in my CD player:  to be determined...when I get to work.

It has been determined:  the original London recording to Calendar Girls.  I've listened to the first disc and have just started the second disc.  So far, I really like it!

[George]

Has GEE arrived for everyone in New York?

(If it's not here today, I'll ask if the package people here just forgot to leave a pick-up slip.)

I don't know about New York, but GEE has arrived in Tumwater!  The bonus item is pretty darned cool!  The section that I received is very different than the finished section.
