Well, you've read the notes, the notes were old and had a curmudgeon, and now it is time for you to post until the curmudgeonly cows come home.

I am staying inside today to get a big chunk of the song I'm orchestrating out of the way. I would like to finish it by Monday.

Tomorrow, however, is supposed to be a beautiful day, and I need to step out for two things. The first is to stop at Verizon and have my cell phone checked out. I don't know if I need a new battery or a new phone. My second stop is my bank, where I need to pick up $100 in singles for Access-a-Ride trips and to start a savings account for the cats.

My current favorite "most ridiculous" commercial at the moment is for the anti-depressant drug Rexulti, in which a depressed woman wanders around carrying a paper plate on a stick with an infantile happy face drawn on it. I don't know how she can keep a sad face holding that stupid plate orhw the lady playing her shrink can hold a serious facew talking to a lady holding a paper plate on a stick.

I also love these two battling commercials for elderly life insurance. One offers $30,000 and the other company offers $50,000. What they have in common are the following:
1. An elderly African-American woman with delusions of being an actress
2. A completely clueless child - in one a son, in the other a daughter - to whom the poor older woman has to explain the details of their windfall when she dies. I wish the commercial would end with the child smothering the older lady for for her inept performance and for the insurance money.

At the moment, my favorite commercial remains the Chewy.com commercial I posted the other day with that adorable cat.

May we assume this means you aren't excited about "MON-NAY" and that you aren't calling that number "NOW-OW"?

Only about 3.5 hours of sleep, and that was filled with bizarre but very specific dreams. Ugh.

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't ask a Tambourine Man to play me a song. I just wouldn't.

DR John G., are the Avengers episodes self-contained? That is, can you watch them in any old order?

My current peeve about commercials is the ones for TED -- thyroid eye disease.

Don't you just love that they offer a link for us to visit and see all of Jeannie's "before" photos?

She wears about 15 pairs of sunglasses throughout the commercial and only reveals her normal eyes at the end.

But the worst part is that she pronounces "thyroid" as though it were "thigh-RID".

And it's everytime she says the word!!!

I am having dental surgery this morning. In two hours and 15 minutes to be precise.

This time, I have a pill to take an hour before the procedure to allay anxiety that raises my blood pressure.

I have one 5mg tablet of diazepam.

I hope it works. I want this surgery well behind me.

You can play then one at a time. The order you choose.
