We have lived in this house a long long time. When we replaced the water heater in 2002, we discovered a stamp on it dated 1962. That thing lasted 40 years! Today the replacement began leaking. They don't make things like they used to!

What? 40 years??

The typical life span is, what, ten years?

And, um, wasn’t 2002 when I replaced mine? And that one was just under ten.....

I started listening to Renee Fleming. Her voice is a little operatic for my tastes, but it's OK. I doubt I will listen to it a lot.

I just wish she had had a good copy editor for the listings. The Sondheim: Medley includes Children Will Listen and You've Got to Be Carefully Taught, which is from that fine Sondheim show, South Pacific, you know.

Oy.

I was surprised I liked the song from Dear Evan Hansen, since I haven't been able to listen to the CD from the show from start to finish.

I did finish the Zola novel. Very surprising for the time period. He spends a lot of time with an androgynous character. There are plenty of lesbians running about. And a suspicious butler turns out to be gay and running after the stable boys. The lead story is one of incest in which a man's wife goes for her step-son. And the end result is that no one really cares. She seemingly wants to be punished or upbraided for her behavior, but no one gives it a second thought. Her husband, her maid, her step-son, society, no one. Except her sister-in-law, who hates her and wishes she could guilt the woman into being a prostitute in her discreet house of ill repute.

Proust learned his lessons very well.

Wow! That was an amazing water heater! Because the company made them so well, probably no one bought any more and they went out of business.

Rehearsal was fun. And then things got wacky. I went and picked up one package, then did some banking. Then I had a Cobb salad, stopped at Staples and got paper and ink, then came home. I bought a box of four reams of paper - in lifting it out of the motor car I pulled something bad in my lower right back - terrible pain - it's a bit better now, but geez. I noticed the back-up failed so I left my senior tech a message and hopefully he'll call me tomorrow. Then because I've been told by Apple repeatedly that having this 2011 version of Word is part of the computer's problems, since it's completely incompatible with High Sierra, the current operating system.

So, I got someone at Microsoft chat and discussed which option would be best for me, and I got it. Then began the ordeal of the new Office for Mac. We got it downloaded fine, got it to open but nothing looked the same so it took a full hour to get everything to resemble what I'm used to. It was VERY frustrating - and I'll need to get used to how it all works now, since there are changes. You get some kind of cloud storage, but I want these documents on my computer - that alone took me fifteen minutes to figure out.

Some evening it's been. And I don't think I've lost a damn pound and if that is the case when I wake up, I'm done with Keto and any other diet save for counting calories.

The person from whom I bought my condo agreed to install a new water heater when I moved in. It originally had a 50-gallon tank, but she had a brand new 65-gallon tank installed! One time, the power went out for several days and I was still able to get two warm showers from that tank.

I would have liked to watch Shoot the Piano Player tonight in honor of Aznavour. I will have to watch it a little later this week. I have two movies due back at the library in three days.

I have two movies and a TV series checked out. They're all due in the next three days (one each day) and they all have holds, so I can't renew any of them.

BK, for the Indiegogo campaign 10-CD perk, can we just e-mail you (or someone) the list of titles that we want, or will we get some e-mail from you saying you're ready for them?

Early this evening, I checked my IPad, and the WIFI was working really well.

But when I signed on at around 1O:OO P.M., it refused to let me post.

TCB · « **Reply #113 on:** October 01, 2018, 11:31:49 PM »

It kept telling me that I wasn't signed on to the internet.

But when I went into the Settings, it showed that my WIFI was up and running.

Hi, George.

I have officially stopped this ridiculous Keto thing. I did it for a week, ate only what one could eat, never overate (in fact yesterday I don't think I even had 1000 calories) - no bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, sugar, just what was allowed. Not a pound, and maybe I even gained one. Anyone, ANYONE who says they lost eight pounds in a week is either lying or delusional, unless they literally stopped eating save for a salad or two a day. But the real problem is it makes you feel bad. Who needs that? Not me.

I think Nicky has been messing with my iPad.

He doesn't like me on the iPad when he is trying to sleep.
