So, we joined the 21st Century today.

We got smart phones.

Congratulations. I was going to send you some ugly Vegas casino carpet photos, now I can

Darn, I can't send it. I don't have your cell number anymore

Jane · « **Reply #124 on:** December 17, 2018, 06:24:19 PM »

DR Laura if you want photos I need your phone number

I am sure someone in your family can help you with that. What phone did you get?

I am so delighted with my new job I could dance

This is the best news all day!

I agree!

I took photos of pretty carpets too.

Best book:
A Gentleman in Moscow-Amor Towles

I know it wasn't part of the questions but it seems fitting to add this category.
Best Memoirs:
The Sound of Gravel
Educated

Jane · « **Reply #131 on:** December 17, 2018, 06:49:14 PM »

I didn't read much nonfiction this year. While neither are as good, IMHO, as DR Jrand's favorite DEAD WAKE, I did enjoy them.

Non-fiction:
The Library Book
Radium Girls

More Fiction:
The Girl You Left Behind- Jojo Moyes
The Lost Girls-Heather Young
The Lost Letter-Jillian Cantor
Skinny Dip by Carl Hiaasen
The Great Alone-Kristin Hannah
GEE
The Girl Who Wrote in Silk- Kelli Estes
Defending Jacob-William Landay
As Bright as Heaven- Susan Meissner

I am currently reading Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak and expect it to be included in this list.

Back from the first of three evening concerts. It was good. There were ragged edges, to be sure, but the spirit was great.

I’m back at it again tomorrow, outta here at six in the a.m. again. Second and last day for that.

Another role for TCB to take L.A. by storm with, in addition that of some guy who goes for dinner, is Maraczek.

Didn’t you say that was a favorite, DR TCB? Would you still do that one?

Screeners are sent to guild members at the end of the year for them to see performances, directors, writers, etc. They're DVDS, they're watermarked so they can tell if you sell them, the majority of them are for films that haven't even been released yet, and they have occasional text come up on the screen while you're watching, reminding you that the screener is under copyright and not for sharing.

Making my way through a new 55-CD box of all of Andre Previn's Columbia and RCA albums. It's pretty great so far. I haven't heard most of these recordings.

Why does spellcheck keep replacing "for" with "girl" ?It doesn't have any of the same letters .

vixmom · « **Reply #143 on:** December 17, 2018, 09:23:55 PM »

Actually now I look at it that sounds like the title of a rather risqué movie

Spellcheck! What ARE you thinking?!

One of the most interesting pieces on one of the piano only albums where Mr. Previn plays is some piano pieces by legendary record producer Goddard Lieberson. I had no idea he wrote music. He also wrote a novel. Go know. Sadly, the music isn't very interesting.

bk · « **Reply #149 on:** December 17, 2018, 10:09:35 PM »

Now playing, Rachmaninov's first and fourth piano concertos with Leonard Pennario on piano - he's amazing - and Previn conducting. Really spectacular.
