Hey, John, are you dancing soon?  what dance is up next?

[ChasSmith]

What a great email!

[George]

I just got this e-mail:

Hi Mr. Kimmel!  I was looking around the internet today for birthday gift ideas for my brother, and ran into a “The Creature Wasn’t Nice” script on eBay that had your name on the cover.  Then I fell down a productivity rabbit hole looking up information about one of our favorite movies growing up, (although we knew it as “Spaceship”).  And then I found your site and “Ask Bruce” link, so I don’t really have a question, but a from-the-heart compliment:
 
Growing up in Nebraska in the 80’s, our parents always had dubious skills on filtering the movies we’d select from “The Video Station” rental place, and once every few months we’d pick up “Spaceship”, and laugh all weekend long.  Hearing three boys (age 4, 8, and 10) walking around saying things like “Science is my pie, Curiosity is my sweet tooth…”, naming things “The Stark <whatever>”, to “Gimme some leeway…”, and obviously the musical number, I’m sure our teachers just shook their heads.
 
To this day we’ll sometimes pop it in, but there’s a place in our hearts for all of it, so I wanted to say thank you!  It has brought us a lot of joy and laughter over the years.

That's so sweet, BK!

I’m in the middle of re-reading Trollope’s Phineas Finn. I wanna go home and read more.

Is this your favorite of his novels?

No. But it's part of the Palliser series, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It's the 150th anniversary of the novel's publication, and the Facebook Anthony Trollope Society is doing a group read in honor of that. So, I guess I told myself I didn't have enough to do already, so I would summarize four chapters. Except I thought the four summaries would run over four days. I didn't read that they would run over two days, and I just had to write the last in a hurry. Thankfully, the chapter was probably the shortest in the book.

I am impressed.  Have fun with the group read.

Good vibes your doctor has some answers for you.

I'm not seeing my doctor about my leg.  I'm going in for treatment on whatever's mucking up my health for the past three weeks or longer.  I need to know if it;s allergies, the flu, pneumonia, WTF.  All she'll do about the leg is what the HMO has done since 2013: referrals.

Good luck with all of it so you can feel better.

This is like a Hallmark commercial 💙

Finished with my viewing - not one but two horrible "thrillers" on the Flix of Net.

Good evening.

Pain Free Vibes for DR Elmore!

Congratulations to BK on His Nominations!

Hi, Tom.

[TCB]

Thank you for all of the condo vibes.  Unfortunately, even if they agree to lower the price, they certainly won’t continue to pay for the closing costs.  So, basically the deal is doomed.  I just can’t afford to pay the down payment and the closing costs up front.

Darn.

Jeanne, the Seller can file an appeal of the appraisal, that is the other option available to him.  I would certainly think he would want to appeal an $18,000 difference.  So, we shall see what he decides to do — hopefully by tomorrow.

That's such a nice email, BK. 

[FJL]

or was it a blog comment?  Either way so nice.

[FJL]

I'm getting older by the second. 

[FJL]

Hoping that by being here at 3 am (midnight Calif, time), my birthday greeting in the notes will be nice,

[FJL]

Did I mention I bought a BK new CD today, and bought the book that yielded Skip's 5-star comment. 

[TCB]

Happy Birthday Fred!!

[TCB]

Sorry, I disappeared there for a few minutes, my friend Tracy is having a medical emergency.

[FJL]

Thank you so much, TCB!

How did you know?

[TCB]

All needed Vibes to Tracy.

[TCB]

Thank you so much, TCB!

How did you know?

Because your birthday is the day before my mother’s birthday.  Only she was older than you.

Thanks, Fred.  Anything involving the eye is always scary.

I saw Sierra Boggess in PHANTOM OF THE OPERA in Las Vegas.  I wonder who that guy was that played opposite her?
