I picked up one small package and no mail, had a chili, cheese, and onion hot dog and a few fries for my meal o' the day, and suddenly the day was over.

Listening to one of the biggest Bernard Herrmann holy grails there is - the complete soundtrack to the weird film, Obsessions - NOT Obsession - this is completely different. People have been screaming about this score being released forEVER. And then, a few weeks ago, after having watched it, I asked some questions and someone in passing mentioned that the entire score is CBS library music - not an original cut in the film. So, I'm not really understanding this crazy "why don't they release it" malarky - every cue in the film has been out before, either on LP or CD, and much of it was released by me via Varese. I could, I suppose, re-license all the tracks and issue the "soundtrack."

City Center owes me for two invoices, but they only paid one of them today, and that's not enough for Annabelle to see the vet. I am not amused.

Hopefully, the money will start rolling in there soon from EVITA, and they'll get some of it out to you.

Page three? Really?

Since not a soul has commented on Mojave, which means our Mac users must be on an old OS - the "light" version of Mojave is interesting - it changes based on the time of day and evening. Morning and afternoon it's at full brightness. Then as dusk happens it gets darker. At night, stars appear. It's fascinating and fun.

On my first (Android) tablet, there's an option to change the color to match the lighting in wherever you are, and it sounds kind of like that. I just found it annoying. The screen would get darker or lighter and I was constantly changing the brightness because I didn't like what it was doing. If you like it, that's great. Maybe I need to try it out again.

And on that note (F-natural), I'm outta here. Tomorrow is my sister's birthday and I need to get some wrapping paper. She collects elephants so I bought her a huge coffee-table book from England called Land of Giants. I think she'll like it.

Be back later.

It has been a day.

I got a new iPhone and you can just sort of imagine all the fun I've been having ever since.

It supposedly copied over all of my contacts, but no.

John G. · « **Reply #70 on:** September 26, 2019, 09:06:21 PM »

It only copied my Facebook friends, many of whom I don't even know.

So, I had to manually reenter my family. (I could remember Mom and Dad's phone number.)

John G. · « **Reply #72 on:** September 26, 2019, 09:07:12 PM »

I had to reenter my friends and work associates.

John G. · « **Reply #73 on:** September 26, 2019, 09:07:32 PM »

I had to download all the old apps and try to remember all their passwords.

My memory's not that good.

Dance class was too long this evening.

Oh, yeah, and I was told at work that I would be interviewing for my job the day I get back to work after vacation.

John G. · « **Reply #77 on:** September 26, 2019, 09:09:13 PM »

And that the person who wants me for the job won't be a part of the interview process.

John G. · « **Reply #78 on:** September 26, 2019, 09:09:37 PM »

I spoke with Dad this evening for a few minutes. He's still in the hospital for at least another day.

John G. · « **Reply #79 on:** September 26, 2019, 09:09:52 PM »

They have no idea why he got sick or what caused it.

John G. · « **Reply #80 on:** September 26, 2019, 09:10:32 PM »

He had no idea who I was, but on prompting he did wish me an early birthday and that was nice to hear.

I think my Mom may be ready to have him go to a nursing home, which has to be a hard decision for her to make. They've been married for 64 years.

John G. · « **Reply #82 on:** September 26, 2019, 09:12:36 PM »

I can't even begin to imagine.

John G. · « **Reply #83 on:** September 26, 2019, 09:13:00 PM »

My sister has been driving in every day, and that has been good for both Mom and Dad.

John G. · « **Reply #84 on:** September 26, 2019, 09:13:19 PM »

But she has to teach in the mornings, so it's back every day.

John G. · « **Reply #85 on:** September 26, 2019, 09:13:53 PM »

One more day until I can try to forget everything.

John G. · « **Reply #86 on:** September 26, 2019, 09:14:20 PM »

So, let's concentrate on something else.
