Well, that Pacific Northwest Ballet project appears to be mine, but I'll be much happier when a contract shows up.

News of this sort is always good. Vibes for a quick arrival of that contract.

Mine chili

Oh, my.

You know, I could eat that -- right on top of the corned beef hash and eggs and rye toast I just ate.

Jack: I don't quite understand what your realtor was getting at. If you had a great offer, and the contingency was giving the potential buyers 21 days to sell their house -- and there was a provision that if you got another offer higher than theirs that they would have the opportunity to match or better -- what on earth was he thinking? The house would STILL BE SOLD within three weeks, yes???

As it stands, you have no offer on your house, and the potential buyers will look elsewhere.

I hope your realtor gave you a really good explanation of why he did what he did. It's possible, I guess, that the market is so hot that he's certain he'll get a quick sale at asking or better price.

DR Jrand71, when I knew I was moving from L.A. to Connecticut in 1989, I (and my "silent partner" friend who had helped to finance the condo for me) put my West Hollywood place up for sale, and got an offer on the first day it was shown ... for the asking price (which we'd expected to come down from), with a $5,000 deposit attached, from a TV producer who was buying it for his kid. It fell through a couple of days later when the disclosures revealed that the "popcorn ceiling" hearkened back to when those things contained asbestos (even though deemed safe as long as you didn't try to get rid of it improperly) because it just happened that the guy was a crusader against such environmental threats.

That doesn't parallel your Roger story, of course, because this agent was expert in getting that offer from an industry person. Just my li'l contribution to the trials and tribulations of trying to sell something.

FINALLY, WE HAVE ALL THE EVIDENCE WE NEED.

DR Jrand71's album covers PROVE that, contrary to the government's denials, we were indeed visited by aliens in the mid-20th century. They simply hadn't yet perfected their human forms. But even then, they mostly "passed" successfully among the faithful.

I'll bet you most of these specimens were eventually rounded up and live on, to this day, in their cages in Area 51.

It is beautiful outside in Johnston, South Carolina. Temperature is a moderately cool 46 degrees with an expected high of 54 degrees.

At least the storm system was blown away even if by a cold front.

I just won't be running around in shorts for a while.

P.S. to Jack:

Good luck and good fortune on the potential sale. Your realtor may know exactly what he's doing.

I share your nervousness, but one must yield to the professionals.

Last night, in a return to form, I had two (2) whopping classic dreams.

The one I briefly woke from at 4:00 AM was of the former workplace variety, with workmates and bosses and travel and my tardiness in showing up for something and I don't know what the hell else.

The other, at 7:00 am, was a musical classic, concerning a concert of some kind that was about to commence, of which I had barely any idea what I was doing in it, which also seemed to include a new production of Smorgasbord!. It then morphed into my having to round up a band for future shows. That last part clearly is about our production of Carrie in the fall, which I must recruit for.

Tomorrow afternoon I'm driving up to SUNY New Paltz to see the closing performance of a friend's production (he's the MD and pianist) of Songs for a New World, something I've listened to but have never seen. That will be different and, I trust, fun.

I caved and turned on the AC a couple days ago. In April. Early April. We've never done that before.

Some good neighbor in the building carried my large carton up the steps and lewft it at the mailboxes. I was able to slide it into the elevator and bring it up. It's currently sitting outside my door.

That was a very nice mystery neighbor, Elmore.

Back from an omelet and a bagel, not necessarily in that order.

DR RON PULLIAM as the realtor explained to me - it was felt we might miss out on a larger offer if we had to wait 48 hours for the people who made the offer to counter......and she wanted their house listed as soon as possible.

It seems that the couple were having second thoughts and so our counter was the perfect opportunity for them to bow out......some circumstances were making them nervous.....trying to get their current house ready for showings, etc. So I am thinking they would have bailed anyway and I guess it's just as well they did it now as two or three weeks down the line.....

I'm really enjoying my friend David's new autobiography. He's a wonderful storyteller.
