DR JEANNE - I just read a rave review of a plant-based restaurant in West Hollywood from someone that I trust. Probably not up bk's alley, but you may enjoy it.

They said it's pretty expensive, but excellent. Maybe for a splurge?

It looks nice.

My house refreshing process is moving along.

Tomorrow, a guy will come who will screen in my back porch and replace wood that is rotting in a couple of places.

I expect priming and painting to begin by week's end.

All in all, I'm getting excited about it.

I am excited for you.

My arm is less sore every day.

I bet you are ready for it not to be sore at all ;)

About ten minutes after returning from an afternoon walk it began to hail.  It is good we left earlier than usual to catch the window of nice weather.  It was pouring when we came out of the market earlier.

John, did you take any Advil for your arm? Mine always quits hurting when I take an Advil and never hurts again.

They announced the Broadway touring shows for next season.

Six
A Soldier's Play
Frozen
To Kill a Mockingbird
Beetlejuice
Jesus Christ Superstar
Hairspray

An extra show not in the package is Annie.

Hairspray has already been here; I enjoyed it, so that's fine.

Elmore, have you got any friends in any of these?

Gilbert Gottfried has died.

Really? I just saw about an hour ago where he was supposed to speak at the next Roger Ebert symposium.

Well, I doubt he will be there.

From DR Jrand:
Quote
St Joseph did his job - our realtor messed it up.

DR JEANNE I called our realtor Roger because of the cartoon in from yesterday of a cymbal player in the orchestra.....with only one cymbal.

We received a very GOOD offer - contingent on the buyers selling their house with 21 days and if we get another offer, they had 48 hours to meet it or step away and their house had to go on the market on Monday.

Our realtor decided that we should only give them 24 hours and their house had to go on the market that afternoon - yesterday.

They walked away - we gave them an out and they took it.  ALL OUR FAULT - I should have told the realtor NO - but you think someone you are paying all that money to knows what she's doing....

Ya think?  I don't think we'll get an offer that big again.....

I am very sorry they backed out.  It was your realtor that suggested you counter :o  I understand reducing the time from 48 hours to 24 hours, but to get their house on the market that quickly was too much.

Vibes you receive another full offer on the house!

From DR Jrand:
Quote
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.....

Then they probably would have bailed after the first inspection.
