Has anyone seen CORNER GAS? It's a Canadian TV show with very quirky humor. It's several years old, but I just heard about it. I found it funny, but I don't everyone would. It does have great ratings, though, so I'm not alone.

I will look into it.

Sorry about your drama, Jeanne. I hope you can stay both warm and headache free.

Got a bunch of nice stuff from the library today. The new music includes the Oscar Peterson Trio’s On a Clear Day and Bruce Springsteen’s Only the Strong Survive: Covers.

There’s also a new volume of Beethoven for Three. Emanuel Ax, Leonidas Kavakos and Yo-Yo Ma are now playing Beethoven’s Sixth and Op. 1, No. 3.

Def recommend getting a plug-in carbon monoxide detector, Jeanne, if you don’t have one.

I love THE LARKINS. So much food! No one could possibly baker that much! I never saw DARLING BUDS OF MAY. I'm eager for THE LARKINS season 2.

One is installed and it hasn't gone off, but I do know that sometimes they're faulty. I'm looking into other options.

Did you hear that novelist Armistead Maupin composed a sappy one-movment concerto?

It's Maupin's maudlin modern movement.

Question for Ask BK Day. What were those Osmonds shows like to do? Did you have to go to their Utah studio or was this before that was done?

They were great fun to do. The first three were here in LA, the last one was in Utah. We had a great time because they always treated their guests wonderfully.

I've been watching a movie called Enough - on of those domestic violence movies, this with Jennifer Lopez. These are basically all the same but they're enjoyable and this one is directed by Michael Apted, a fine director who is trying hard given the material, which is a little weirdly cutesy, with title cards like "Get out" or "Hey" - makes it cartoonish, which isn't a good idea.

DR TCB, I am glad you were able to spend time with your family and they could drive you to your appointment.  How is Elijah?


He is doing okay.  A bit moody.

More apartment drama today. I've been getting little headaches lately and noticed that the heat was always on when I got them. When the heat turns off the headache would go away. I tried four times to call the gas company's emergency number. Each time I called a recording would say that they were too busy to take my call and to call 911! I am always reluctant to call 911 for anything except a real emergency, but I don't wish to perish in my bed due to carbon monoxide. A fire truck arrived, lights on, sirens blaring, and three firefighters came up to my apartment to check the carbon monoxide level. It was OK and they referred me to the heating contractor. They also said that low levels, below what can be picked up on their sensors, could be present and causing thr headaches.

Oh, my goodness! :o Hopefully, it can all be figured out quickly!!

I really like the show, so I was geared up to have a good time (even while ushering) and I wasn't disappointed!

Everyone was really good, and the show was updated to include texting and the TicToc app.

The set was essentially giant screens, and they were so well done!
