Chas, had you seen a photo would you have recognized your neighbor's front door?

[Jane]

Anyone ready for Christmas music?

[Jrand74]

I had to check my bank account online to make sure my pittance from the Public Employees' Retirement Fund had been deposited.

Sure enough - there is was.  My checkbook now reflects the reality of it.

It is, presently, 48 degrees in Johnston SC. We are predicted to have showrs -- sometimes heavy -- throughout the day.

The weatherman has found it wise to advise us that if are expecting packages to be delivered we should make every effort to get them inside as the rain may soak through.

Gee!  Who'd a thunk it?!

[Jrand74]

I am trying to remember if I saw the film version of EVITA.....I think I have the soundtrack CD - but I just don't remember.....

[Jrand74]

SEE HOW THEY RUN - which I at first thought was a film version of the funny play with half a dozen vicars running around - was my first real introduction to Sis Ronan. 

I am in agreement with MR BK that she is very good and was the best thing about the film.  I liked her character a lot - especially when she was talking about knowing Richard Attenborough from his movie Brighton Rock.

"Rain Soaked Packages" is the title of the I Want song in my new musical UPS AND USPS.

[Jane]

Has anyone here ever heard of this?

Lenny Gatto and I served together in several places, including Naples, Italy.  Unfortunately, we had a major falling out when, during the 2016 election, he claimed the Democrats couldn't be patriots because Hillary's stage had only ONE American flag.   The Donald surrounded himself with about 15 or so flags.  Trump does that to this day.  It's his "beard", in my opinion.   By falling out, I mean Lenny and I stopped communicating on Facebook.

Not a loss for me, and likely for him, either....except we still see each other's comments in the posts of mutual friends.

Now when I see people flying the American flag I think of the Proud Boys, Trump, and anti-Americans.

The last time the elevator was out, someone doing the laundry had dropped a sock that got stuck in the door.

[Jrand74]

If anybody wants to be my neighbor - the house next door was just reduced by $10,000.

No one who saw it could ever forget how bad Madonna was.

Tuesday afternoon greetings!  I am in for the day, doing desk work before 2 Zoom commitments later this afternoon & evening.

[Jrand74]

Socks cause all kinds of problems.  They are the troublemakers of attire.

[Jrand74]

Ah thanks DR JOHN G - I must not have seen it.....

[Ginny]

Oh, my, DR Elmore, that's quite an adventure!

[Jrand74]

Zoom meeting fun vibes for DR GINNY.

Pop star casting.  Perhaps if EVITA had been written earlier we might have had Connie Francis in the titular role.....or Annette!

They explained that the young man on 2 must have dropped his chap stick. It had blocked the door. A minute later, the fireman on two started the elevator and the blond fireman, my walker, and I rode to one, where Diana and MaryAnne who lives on the fifth floor were waiting. I picked up the mail, visited a few minutes, and then came home. The entire adventure lasted around fifty minutes.

Oh, my goodness!  That was the adventure! 

[George]

A friend sent me this short Instagram video about the appeal of firefighters.

Whoa. What an adventure on DR Elmore!

I take it there isn't a chair down there you could have sat in while waiting for the firemen. Is there room for one?

[ChasSmith]

Chas, had you seen a photo would you have recognized your neighbor's front door?

Probably not. It's not someone we ever have occasion to visit. We only ever see them down at the base of the driveways, going in or out. But what the photo would have told us is that it was definitely left at a wrong address.

[ChasSmith]

I tried to update or leave a followup comment on Amazon as to what WE found out had happened. But the system doesn't allow a second report, and I have absolutely zero desire to attempt getting on the phone with them and getting any kind of satisfaction out of making it clear where THEIR process failed.

Zeffirelli’s version of Romeo and Juliet is coming to Criterion.

Lately, I've really been enjoying the Thursday Murder Club mysteries by Richard Osman. There are currently three books in the series. Funny and delightful, with good mysteries and a surprising amount of heart.

Do you have to read them in order?

[singdaw]

I would recommend doing so, DR John G.

[singdaw]

The mysteries are self-contained, but the character development follows an arc.

[singdaw]

DR elmore3003 - did you invite the blond firefighter up for tea?

[singdaw]

Serious happenings on the world stage...

[singdaw]

Putin just goofed.
