Jane, in answer to your question last night about the humidity, the dew point was 64 this morning, so, yes, a bit humid at times. Most of the time, no, though.

so Skip who had been at "Spiderman" at the movie multiplex several blocks away [and somehow the movies there were not interrupted, though Skip said the elevators and the escalators did not work] could not get upstairs until the power was restored. 

 :o



He had hung out in the park in the middle of the block, and there were a lot of people who congregated there.  Of course, no one knew the power would get back in before midnight until it actually went on.  But the pressure really was on Con Edison to do something quickly. 

Skip can't walk up stairs?

Also - so much money would have been potentially lost if the Sunday shows had to be cancelled too (not just the shows, also all the tourism money that relates to a weekend matinee).

But having it solved before midnight was very good news, though a surprise.  if we'd known it would be just 3 or 4 hours when it happened, we probably wouldn't have ben as worried.  :)

Not knowing is worrisome.

Tonight is a movie night with friends from church. I'm bringing peach ice cream and some other sort of ice cream to be determined when I get to the store.

The peach ice cream might have been soothing for Jan ;)

Vibes her voice returns quickly.

Happy Fete Nationale!

(What we would call Bastille Day. My friend Deborah, who moved to France recently, said nobody in her part of the country, near Lyon, had ever heard it called Bastille Day.)

Interesting.

A challenging matinee, thanks to the MD’s MacBook failing on him ... not once, but thrice ... during which times it was on me to sightread heretofore unplayed parts in Mr. Kugel’s lovely hand. Ah, the magic of live theater.

Oh my.

We started watching THE GOOD FIGHT w/Christine Baranski last night. 

Good show.

I love that show! Absolutely addictive!

By the time The Good Wife ended we were tired of it, plus we weren't thrilled with how the show wrapped up.  As a result we decided to skip The Good Fight.    Maybe one day we will give it a try.

Druxy, how are all of your family doing?

Yes, please tell us.  You seem to have missed previous inquiries or I missed your responses.

That was a little higher than ours.

Today is a beautiful day, 80 degrees but only 32% humidity.

ChasSmith, the French Blu is still available and this one does NOT have forced French subtitles as Circus World did.  Try to find it - I believe it's even all-region.

Back from a Chinese chicken salad and a bagel, my meal o' the day and no further food will be the order of the rest of the day and evening.

Listening to music.  Don't think I'm in the mood to watch, unless I stream that 13 Frightened Girls movie, which I may

16 flights in 90+ degree weather and 80% humidity?  I wouldn't recommend it

I didn't remember it was that many flights.  Thank you for explaining.

I, of course, misread this as "Bruce was very nice." :)

Jane, also the lights were all off in the lobby and the stairwells, so no one was being allowed in, even people who lived on lower floors.

We completely missed last night midtown blackout.  I learned about it from an email from my cousin in Ohio, who wanted to be sure I was okay.

Good news.

Glad all the NYC HHW'ers survived where were you when the lights went out....a Doris Day reference....

Yes DR FJL that's the set up - although in the play the doctor is making a house call and George comes out of the kitchen to hear a telephone conversation the doctor is having with a cardiologist about another patient.



That it's set in a time and place where doctors made house calls certainly came in handy to not have a set change.

Did the younger (under age 50) members of the audience even know what a house call was?

I guess the party line that Doris and rock shared being the key to the plot  grounds "Pillow Talk" in its time,  though.

One of the animal rescue groups is headed by a wall-to-wall bitch, who was described to me over a year ago as rude and obnoxious.  We got into a FB battle the other day when I called her on her rudeness.  Last night, she sent a flurry of personal messages, calling me a feeble old man and an old fool.  When I told her it was my observation from her behavior she cared less about saving a dog and more about the applause she gets for being a hero, she told me she was putting my name on a "Do Not Adopt To" list.  If I find she has, I'll see her in court.

Oh, my goodness! >:( What is wrong with some people??

I'm having better luck with Windows Media Player than iTunes these days. (I know iTunes is going away soon, but I thought it was still supposed to be functioning.) Anyway, I went looking for an Aretha Franklin album this morning. Somehow, in addition to my Aretha albums, I also get the option of playing The Maguire Sisters Sing Subways Are for Sleeping. Bizarre.

Wait...what's this about iTunes going away?? ???
