We are not happy with the shoddy workmanship today. The complex manager, a builder himself, kindly came and looked at it to give us his opinion. He said we should not accept it as is.

It's good that he agrees with you!

Yes it is, still we are not looking forward to the conversation tomorrow.

Do you have someone there who can shmear in Lidocaine or whatever the mentholated stuff Skip uses? It smells weird, but seems to really help for 8 or 10 hours. Probably not good for use in the office because of the smell.

I have something similar and can apply it if I want, but all of those are last resort options and it's precisely because of the smell.

Spellcheck keeps wanting to fix shmear to smear. It's a very different thing.

Spellcheck needs to learn Yiddish. It still doesn't like oy.

This morning I am dealing with the government on a particular matter....we shall see how things evolve.

Hmmm if K doesn't get confirmed will we be seeing JRand as one of the Supremes?

I'm out of the tub. It was good. Got about 50 pages of Faust read, which leaves less than 100 to go. Might be able to finish it this week. If work doesn't finish me off first.

And back to the last 20 minutes of Gunfight, which, I guess, means I have the gunfight left.

This is my least favorite retellings of the story, and I put the blame on Leon Uris's script.

I much prefer My Darling Clementine and Tombstone.

But it's hard to top Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas.

Back from a really good second music rehearsal. Happy to say the new bridge and third chorus worked splendidly and everyone loved singing it. We ran every song save for the two our leading man in involved in, since he wasn't with us tonight. Tomorrow night, we work with our tracks. And hopefully our new actress.

Today I had to sit in a presentation made by a third-party group out of Chicago that does work for us. I've never been impressed with their work. And today confirmed it. At the top of their presentation was a page with the header:

FRUAD PROTECTION

What kind of business puts their best foot forward with a typo in the very first word?

Waiting for the plumber. I have a dripping bathroom faucet.

A little penicillin should take care of it.

Fortunately, Nick and I survived the electrical meltdown the other night.

TCB · « **Reply #144 on:** October 04, 2018, 12:01:00 AM »

In the morning, I pulled the cheap plastic piece of crap out of the outlet, dumped it in the garbage, and switched the circuit breaker back on.

TCB · « **Reply #145 on:** October 04, 2018, 12:01:57 AM »

Nothing will get plugged into that outlet until I purchase a surge protector.

Four times now.

Yes, I'd done the parody lyric this morning!

“At 2:18 p.m. today, the Trump administration is planning to send a test presidential alert.”

The Broadway shows might want to consider starting at 2:20 today, or else find a way to say “Turn off your phones; not like you don't listen every other day. Today we REALLY mean it!”

Tune of “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?” from BEAUTIFUL

Today at two they will seat me
At two-eighteen, you will tweet me
Today I’m at a Wednesday matinee
So could you tweet me tomorrow?

I know your tweet is essential
You’re always so Presidential.
I’m on alert, but wish you could delay
So could you tweet me tomorrow?
Yes, Donald, tweet me tomorrow!

Very funny, Fred. I wish I had your wit, instead of having half of it.
