DR Elmore - is it water leaking into YOUR bathroom or into the one below?

And the building has had this problem all along?

To Elmore’s list I’ll add Love Life. Here I’ll Stay is such a beautiful song.

Thanks George,

After a while I found a position that eased the pain and was able to fall asleep.

DR TCB it is difficult purchasing in a sellers market and more expensive.  Yes scary indeed and worse if the market drops after you buy something.

Since 1980 my bathroom ceiling has fallen in at least four times from plumbing problems provoked by bad plumbing and incompetent plumbers.  The leak was from the apartment above me: clogged and overflowed.  Our super is nice, but he's no Val.  I called him at 7:45 and he showed up at 10:15.

Thursday morning greetings!  Richard and I are going to do some midday errands soon and then this evening I'm meeting with my book group to discuss Being Mortal by Dr. Atul Gawande.

I forgot both The Firebrand of Florence and Love Life and I love both of them.

And, yes, "Here I'll Stay" is glorious, but "My Name is Samuel Cooper" really moves me to tears.  Neither of the two live recordings of Love Life nor The Firebrand of Florence (lot of bad casting)  move me as much as John McGlinn's recording of excerpts from each.

DR TCB, Knickerbocker Holiday was the first musical I ever saw.  It was a junior high school production, and I was twelve or thirteen.

DR Elmore, I just asked Richard if he was in that production and he doesn't remember it.  Was it here in Middletown?

Roosevelt Jr. High; Rick Ashton played Pieter Stuyvesant, and I suspect Richard played timpani in the orchestra.  We would have been in eighth grade.

I am embarrassed to say I am NOT the one who discovered the wrong chord (accidentals missing) in "Ribbons Down My Back"... after all of these years. Always heard it right and played it right, but never saw it.

But I just found another one in the Tams-Witmark piano part, so maybe that makes us even. (Same song!)

That said, I think I'd be a pretty good proofreader, if that's literally what I was sitting down to do.

I also like Bryn Terfel’s recording of Samuel Cooper.

I loved that book. What did you think of it, Ginny?

That's what happened to me when I bought my condo 12 1/2 years ago.  But , I knew I wasn't going anywhere EVER, so it didn't realy matter.

And the second edit of the How to Succeed . . . piano-conductor is finished! That's one big pain off my schedule and one step closer to closing this project.  Tomorrow I'll be at the I Married an Angel reading, so on Saturday I can begin the second choral arrangement for the Golden Gate Men's Chorus.

Did you like it?  I had heard good things about it but passed on reading it.  From what I can tell it is similar to a book Bryan had us read when he was in medical school.

I forgot to transfer my fitbit before walking 4 miles.  I am not sure which is more annoying, my forgetfulness or not getting credit for the miles.

Our neighbor/friend from Ashland left this morning after breakfast.  It was a nice visit.  Bruce she noticed your books and the blogs by Chuck.  I am not sure if she knows him through work or through Larry Drake or both.
