Since we finished early, I decided to stop at a favorite Salvadoran seafood place. Haven’t been here since before the pandemic.

I don’t know when. I’m ushering a Christmas concert tonight featuring the Drifters and the Coasters.

DR George, what happened to your car is a nightmare by any standard.

Here's hoping the dealership gets it completely and perfectly taken care of in short order.

Friday afternoon greetings!

This site fell off the Internet at 7:36 AM Eastern (4:36 Pacific) — just after DR Elmore’s post above — and remained unreadable till about five minutes ago. That’s about 2 hours and 45 minutes.



That explains why I was unable to open this site earlier.

On Wednesday I had my first appointment with a new primary care physician.  She has taken over for our long-time provider after his retirement.  Then yesterday I had every woman’s second least favorite screening (normal results), dinner with 2 girlfriends, and a book group meeting.

Today I had a long overdue haircut and picked up groceries and a prescription at Kroger.

Does anyone know how to contact any friend of DR TCB and ask them to check on him? I am worried.

elmore, I was just about to post that article. Yes, this deal has been in the works for several years now - first with Broadway Records and Van Dean (he sold the label, but he's still there). They couldn't make a deal (Broadway Records) because there were no contracts and they needed those. Well, I had them - we made a deal and I spent ages looking for them and could only find one of the two binders. Then he sold the label and I never heard from him again, which pissed me off because I paid someone to look for that stuff and he was supposed to cover that.

A year or so later, Sean Flahavan called me and asked about the contracts. I told him what I'd been through with Van and that I wasn't interested in going on a hunt again without a firm deal in place (I had one with Van, but...). We worked it out and the fact is I'd already found one binder and then I got lucky and found the other one. They paid me a fee, and I got back and own the Haines His Way album and the right to issue any Guy Haines track from the other albums he did, either separately or on one CD, for free. That was a year ago and now it's a done deal. I also think there's the possibility of resurrecting Lost in Boston and while they wouldn't guarantee it, I do think he'll come to me to produce it should it happen.

Someone in the group had the good idea to double-check the bags, and three of us set about it. We each found two bags with items missing.

Oh, no! >:(
