Good morning, all.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #31 on:** March 28, 2020, 06:07:28 AM »

A lovely little sleep-in was had this morning, and my last dream has been trying to make itself known to me since I've been up. I don't think it was anything new or unusual, but it seems to have been a pleasant variation on some themes.

DR ChasSmith, how are you getting on with Nashville?

DR ChasSmith, how are you getting on with Nashville?

Fabulously. I haven't gone back for my second viewing with Altman's commentary yet, but I ended up totally immersing myself in it otherwise the other day. Did you see my posts about it?

I can't remember if I reported on these extras, but Criterion's "Making Of" with the actors and crew from just several years ago is wonderful, and the longer Altman interview from the time of the film's release was fascinating. Interesting guy.

I started watching Doug's play last night, but much later than I'd intended, so I told myself I'd watch up to the intermission point and then watch the second act today. But I forgot to review where BK had said the intermission was. I'd been thinking it was around the one hour mark. Finally, at 1:08, I went back to the notes and found I'd barreled right past it. I went back to what was, indeed, the last scene of Act 1, and of course that made sense.

So I'm happy to have watched the additional few scenes, but I was at the danger point where my eyes were starting to close so I still have the last forty minutes or so to watch today. Naturally, it proceeds splendidly, with a fine cast and very able direction.

There were a lot of people waiting to get into the website today, but since I'm signed up, I came on in.....so here am I!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #36 on:** March 28, 2020, 06:29:05 AM »

Hey, the line starts back there, DR Jrand69!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #37 on:** March 28, 2020, 06:29:24 AM »

Lots of interesting links.

I was going to bake my pork chops today.....but when I went to get them - they were not there.

Damned chemo brain - I must have had pork chops sometime in the last couple of weeks.....I hope. Otherwise my refrigerator is haunted or possessed.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #38 on:** March 28, 2020, 06:29:51 AM »

I shall watch the play soon.....

It is 71 degrees this morning and the windows are open!

Okay, this morning is something of a landmark -- I had to refresh the notes page on both the iPad and the MacBook. I think that's a first.

It's funny, because I don't remember to think about that before starting to read the notes. And when they generally make sense, even though they're a day old, I still don't think about it until, finally..."wait, I've read these exact words before!"

At which point I refresh, and all is well in Note Land for another day.

That, or the pork chops pulled a Poltergeist and crawled away while your back was turned.

BK-- I watched Doug's play and enjoyed it. I thought Peyton was excellent!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #44 on:** March 28, 2020, 06:35:04 AM »

That could be, too, DR CHAS SMITH.

Since everything was prepared - I decided to bake chicken breasts instead.

If anyone's interested, Mr. Barrett is performing online tonight (5 pm Pacific, 8 pm Eastern). You have to purchase a ticket (pay what you can) and the proceeds go to charity:

I have a birthday card to mail so that will be an excuse to go out. It's kind of gloomy but if the rain holds out I plan on taking a walk (social distancing while doing so).

Finally completed my tax returns. Even though the Federal due date has been extended to July 15, the date in Virginia is May 1 (as always). Since I was getting refunds I figured it would be foolish to wait.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #48 on:** March 28, 2020, 06:46:35 AM »

I have that double feature Blu-ray but have not ever watched Ship of Fools. Nor did I ever read the book. I've always had the distinct impression that what BK and Druxy said would be the case, but now I'm ready to enjoy it for all that's good about it. I've got to remember to take it off the shelf when I go downstairs, and then it'll eventually happen.

But the kicker for me was that BK had never seen Lilith. I hadn't, either, until that very Blu-ray came out several years ago and people on Home Theater Forum were talking about it. I watched and instantly loved it (but maybe that's overstating it, I don't know now), even though it seems like there might have been something a little off about it, plot wise or something. I might be confusing it with something else. I guess I'll have to rewatch that, too.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #49 on:** March 28, 2020, 06:51:21 AM »

Gee, all this talk from me about actually watching things. It feels good to be doing that. I knew that part of my life would return to something close to normal following those last three shows I did. But credit where credit is due... I owe it even more to COVID-19 (sadly), because otherwise I'd be out many of these evenings and weekends playing the next couple of shows.

Elmore, Nick is about the same. I hope to get him into the doctor next week to start him on the insulin.

Vibes to Nick...

I just went to Amazon to buy more cans of Fancy Feast. 24 cans of Fancy Feast used to cost around $15.00 for 24 3 ounce cans, and that's six days of food. This morning Amazon is charging double that amount for only 12 cans!

They are charging double for the food I get for Ricky and Boo too. Outrageous!

I just went to Chewy.com and the prices there are still around $15.00.

Good to know

DR Tom and George thanks for the nice comments about dad's Obit.

cillaliz · « **Reply #54 on:** March 28, 2020, 07:06:03 AM »

Tom, I don't know if you remember when my nephew was around. He went to New York with me on one of the HHW trips then posted here a few times he was jhvw something. My sister was his mom. He's had a very hard time with it and is living with his dad now. It was good to see him and the rest of the family last week, just hate the reason why

cillaliz · « **Reply #55 on:** March 28, 2020, 07:06:57 AM »

TOD, I liked Lee Marvin in Paint Your Wagon

cillaliz · « **Reply #56 on:** March 28, 2020, 07:09:22 AM »

It's been cool and rainy and has been all week. Think I'll go for a walk anyway.

DR Vixmom I am relieved you were able to get your medication quickly.

I suggest ordering your refills ahead of the date. By doing this I have slowly acquired an extra month of meds.

Jane · « **Reply #59 on:** March 28, 2020, 07:25:32 AM »

Years ago there was a scare I wouldn't be able to get my thyroid medication which is why I began storing extra meds.

There are people with Lupus or Rheumatoid Arthritis that wish they had extra meds that are currently unavailable due to covid-19.
