Well, this is pretty cool...Seth and James are hosting a live (as of this posting) LA Law Reunion:

"Former staffers of McKenzie, Brackman, Chaney and Kuzak, including Corbin Bernsen (Arnie Becker), Susan Dey (Grace van Owen), Jill Eikenberry (Ann Kelsey), Michele Greene (Abby Perkins), Harry Hamlin (Michael Kuzak), Alan Rachins (Douglas Brackman, Jr.), Jimmy Smits (Victor Sifuentes), Michael Tucker (Stuart Markowitz), and Blair Underwood (Jonathan Rollins)."

Amazingly within 20 minutes three town trucks showed up and the guys made short work of clearing it all up, cutting the tree into pieces running it through a wood chipper which dumped the shredded wood into the back of one of the trucks

That is impressive.

I actually was feeling slightly under the weather this morning so I called in sick for the first time since I have been there

Your staying home is almost as impressive

Are you feeling better?

Time to head home.

Be back later.

Just heard that Billy Goldenberg passed away. Wonderful man and wonderful composer, who I just recently met when he came to the Group Rep to see either Man Who Came to Dinner or In My Mind's Eye, probably the latter. Yes, the final preview of In My Mind's Eye - I wrote about us meeting and will write a little something in the notes tomorrow.

Good evening.

I won't confront anyone. I'd never win in a verbal spar. But I now avoid the neighbor who says the virus is a hoax. He told me my doctor was a quack for believing it was real and I should believe him (the neighbor) instead.

Listening to the Bruckner 7th and 8th with Jochum, but the SACD version, which is the original three-channel tapes - amazingly amazing. I've been remiss in my SACD listening and these two CDs are single layer - can't be played in a CD player (but anyone with a decent Blu-ray player can play them). Clean and clear as a bell.

The Ballroom score is one of my all-time favorites. I guess the story and music just resonate. Plus, I really love the Bergmans' lyrics.

Did you have any better luck with the Fritz Lang duo, BK? I liked Debra Paget's dance routine and the tigers, but the rest of the two movies were not worth much.

This Friday on TCM is Lang's Fury.

John G. · « **Reply #103 on:** August 04, 2020, 08:37:20 PM »

We watched America's Got Talent and the dance program afterward.

Vibes, Vixmom. You may want to take another day off, if you can. All the stress in your life lately isn't healthy. And neither are these storms.

John G. · « **Reply #106 on:** August 04, 2020, 08:38:23 PM »

good night, all.

I decided I'll finish the Langs tomorrow night. Now playing: Arthur Rubinstein doing Chopin's first and second piano concerto in glorious three-channel SACD.

Sorry I disappeared so abruptly mom called on her cell to tell me her house phone wasn’t working

vixmom · « **Reply #109 on:** August 04, 2020, 09:46:52 PM »

She called the cable company for help but said they just kept telling her to do things and wouldn’t answer her questions so she hung up

vixmom · « **Reply #110 on:** August 04, 2020, 09:47:52 PM »

So I went over and called and immediately was answered by a recording that explained you should go on the website

vixmom · « **Reply #111 on:** August 04, 2020, 09:48:25 PM »

Apparently this recording g was the person who wouldn’t answer her questions

vixmom · « **Reply #112 on:** August 04, 2020, 09:49:48 PM »

I went in the website and followed the directions for unplugging and restarting the modem but the phone didn't come back

vixmom · « **Reply #113 on:** August 04, 2020, 09:51:13 PM »

I was on hold for 42 minutes (my phone has a timer) before my mother said, I don’t even understand why resetting tha5 thing would help, the phone is plugged into the other one,....in the den

vixmom · « **Reply #114 on:** August 04, 2020, 09:51:58 PM »

I went into the den, unplugged the phone from the OTHER modem, plugged it back in and the phone was working

vixmom · « **Reply #115 on:** August 04, 2020, 09:57:34 PM »

Then she said, oh yeah, that’s what usually works, but I thought it might be something different because it was knocked out by the storm

As you can tell, since I am currently posting, I am not in jail for matricide

Although I believe I would not only have been acquitted by a jury of my peers , but possibly would have been awarded a large cash settlement, or at the very least a medal

vixmom · « **Reply #118 on:** August 04, 2020, 10:01:13 PM »

Then she handed me the pork chop I brought her yesterday and told me to go home and cook it in my air fryer because that sounded good, and bring it back to her

vixmom · « **Reply #119 on:** August 04, 2020, 10:01:31 PM »

Yes I did
