Good night, all.

Finished with my viewing. This morning my Darling Daughter sent me a text asking if I'd seen The OA - no was the answer. She wanted to know what I thought about it, so I watched episode one tonight. I have no idea how long this thing goes on, but I'm not finding it all that interesting. I do find it interesting that its star, someone I have no knowledge of whatsoever, somehow in 2016 co-created this, executive produced this, co-wrote this, and stars in this. I have to assume she had some kind of career but I've never heard the name and never seen her. I'll watch one more episode to see where it's going.

Grant and I had that early lunch - Islands - bacon cheeseburger and a few fries for me. I haven't eaten since so I'm just making a tiny bit of spaghetti with butter.

I met Conroy for a split second as he walked through the newsroom in Florida. I hadn’t read anything of his then, but I’ve since read it all. I enjoy his work very much. He seems to have had his demons, which The Lost Prince goes into. It’s a fascinating tale of friendship among writers and families.

Does it mention his friend Doug Marlette? Doug wrote two wonderful novels "The Bridge" & "Magic Time" before dying in a car crash. It was extemely sad. I highly reccomend "The Bridge".

We watched the first season. I had no idea that there is a second season.

MEGA VIBES FOR DR JAN!

Thank you for the vibes, Lady Jane. My appointment tomorrow is 1PM. He said he couldn't tell how long it will be until he gets in there (as usual). Hoping he's very fast 'cause I'm just gonna want to go home and lie down.

He did say to eat a lot before since I can't eat for several hours after.

Mid-seventies today, possibly 80’s by tomorrow.

And you will need food in you in case you need something for pain. You have someone driving you, right?

Well, I need to be leaving. My sister's boyfriend is coming over to my place to show me how to make Blu-ray discs from programs that I've recorded onto my DVR! He's made me Blu-rays of several PBS operas and TCM movies, all of which have not been released on any home format.

I'm burning a Blu-ray disc! Larry came over and showed me the steps to record from my DVR to my Windows XP computer. Specifically, the process only works on Windows XP computers from older model DVRs (where you can record only two programs at once) using a firewire cable. He found that once you upgrade to Comcast's new Xfinity (four recordings at once), it's not posdible to do this. I'm SO glad that both my DVRs are the older model, and that these actually still work with Comcast's upgraded lines.

I only understood about 3% of that post, but I am happy that it works.

Oh yes though I am not sure we will need it. I might want to change the flannel sheets which are currently comfortable.

I am feeling very good about my condo. I am feeling less good about the move.
