Hey, Jose! Who else should I remember? Grey cells not working too well at 74.

Jose no longer shows up here, DR William F. Orr; he abandoned us for Facebook.

FJL still does, as do Ginny and Vixmom. Danise visits occasionally

I might be brain dead this morning, but I haven’t figured out vixmom’s hinting as to why she was inspired to watch Six Feet Under last night.

But I loved that series. We watched it “live” throughout its run, and I look forward to journeying through it all again someday.

Travel vibes for DR Jane assuming she hasn't left yet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Futzed and finessed - that took almost ninety minutes - lots of typos to fix, I made some deletions, did some additions, and there's one little half-page thing at the end I'm not sure about - but I'll leave that to Muse Margaret - if she feels it should go it's an easy deletion - I'm on the fence about it. Once finished, I printed out all 132 pages from the last six days. I then went and got them Xeroxed, then delivered them to Muse Margaret, and now I await her call.

No one was available for celebrating, so I went and had a patty melt and onion rings, then picked up some packages, then came home. I did five fixes that I hadn't done - stuff for Muse Margaret - those were very easy, and so that's all done and I'm really hoping she likes the new pages. I thought there was going to be much more to futz and finesse, but in the end I thought they read pretty well.

Thanks. We are at the best airport in the world. Even the bathroom is exceptional.

We are flying to Hong Kong. I believe I had said Tokyo.

More names for DR William F Orr....
George, TCB, John G, Jennifer, Laura, Michael (as in Shayne), Jrand, Chas, Druxy. I can’t remember any more.

Keith just added a new photo on facebook of the cute happy face flush button in the bathroom 🤣

William Orr, as I live and breathe.

Good evening.

There was a knock on the door at 6:30 am, which was recorded on our new cameras. It took us a while to figure out how to access it.

Just had the Muse Margaret call - she absolutely loved it and I could not be happier. She had a few small things - two little deletions (and good ones), and one little addition and that's it. Whew!

bk · « **Reply #106 on:** January 21, 2019, 08:05:04 PM »

I think I'll just reveal what it is in the notes.

Excellent news!

I found a copy of Desk Set tonight. I've been looking for one for a while now. Love that movie. So, of course, I had no time to watch it tonight.

John G. · « **Reply #111 on:** January 21, 2019, 08:44:05 PM »

Instead I went to my first Restaurant Weeks dinner (a fundraiser the local food charity hosts each January and August). I had a pizza, which I'd been wanting since Germany. It had pepperoni, Italian sausage and red peppers. Very nice.

I also picked up a couple of books, including a Library of Congress volume of the collected writings of Nathanael West. I love Day of the Locust and might have to re-read that this year.

Now it's time to relax before bed.

John G. · « **Reply #114 on:** January 21, 2019, 08:47:19 PM »

Today was a hard day. It went from 7:30 to 6 with at least 8 meetings sandwiched in-between the work. It's shutdown related, so it was necessary. I don't know if tomorrow will be a repeat.

John G. · « **Reply #115 on:** January 21, 2019, 08:47:36 PM »

Tomorrow I'm ushering for Legally Blonde.

John G. · « **Reply #116 on:** January 21, 2019, 08:47:54 PM »

So, I won't get to see Desk Set tomorrow night either.

John G. · « **Reply #117 on:** January 21, 2019, 08:48:22 PM »

I doubt I'll get time to finish Beloved either. I've only got 75 pages left.

John G. · « **Reply #118 on:** January 21, 2019, 08:49:07 PM »

I did finish the bad office book club choice, a sci-fi adventure called Dark Matter. Laughable.

Let's move on ...
