I'm glad they were able to complete the most recent iteration of Tales of the City with her.

Jeez, BK, how terrible! What an inconvenience. I hope you can take care of the situation today. Could you do it tomorrow?

May be time to find my copy of Moonstruck.

One of my favorites! I first saw Dukakis at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, 1973, in the title role of Brecht's Good Woman of Sezuan. The late, wonderful actor David Dukes was her romantic interest.

Well. Drove all the way out to the new storage and after a five-minute wait in line got to the guy I reserved with. He told me the system was down. I waited forty-five minutes and was then told there was no ETA as to when it would be back up. He suggested I come back before the truck arrives on Monday, so around eleven-thirty, but that makes me nervous because I need to see where the units are, get the gate code and all that jazz. I e-mailed him when I got home and told him to call when the system is back up - I'll probably go back there if it's up by four or so. Really annoying.

Groan.  I hope you can return today.

We have lost Olympia Dukakis.

A friend of mine who has worked with her said that she taught him this: 
Let go of that feeling, Acknowledge it, but then let it go. So that you can have another one.


:(

Great quote.

I hope to be transferring to the residential department so I can stay working here for the next 3 -5 years but nothing is sure....

Mega vibes it happens.  Why is his retirement shutting down your department?

Because my department is basically just  the two of us.

DR VIXMOM that was a surprise....  Vibes that your plans pan out, as they say.

Thank you...
It was kind of predictable but he wasn’t showing any signs that he intended to retire so I was hopeful he planned to keep on keeping on for a few more years.  But this year was hard and I suspect his wife is pressuring him to give it up

I hope it works out so you can stay with the company, though I fear it will never be as good.  Sending hugs.

Up from a nap. Surveyed some of the wreckage from the rains. One plant seems to be drowning. So, I moved it to the side with another I saved a couple of days ago. The rest seem happy as anything. And the ground has absorbed all of the water.

I had a strange dream last night. I was in Pittsburgh and there was a production of What The Butler Saw that got good notices and I wanted to see it. Choreographer Christopher Wheeldon was plating Dr Rance, and the ingenue was played by a serial killer who was killing off the cast. There was also a party before the show and all the served pizza was burned.

Yikes! :o What the hell kind of dream is that??

Picked three bright red bell peppers from my plant. They're a little on the smallish side, but they are beautiful.

The guy isn't there tomorrow. And the system is still down. One wonders how a major company can have something like this happen. Since it's only affecting the unit rentals and not the truck rentals, it's truly incomprehensible. And they close at five, so unless I hear before four it won't happen today.

This is an interesting book, DR elmore3003, although pricey and a bit scarce.
