Another earthquake has hit the same area of Turkey-Syria.

I read the headline when I turned on my computer, and wasn't ready yet to read the details.

After reading Gone Girl I didn't want to see the movie. I think we did anyway as Keith wanted to see it. To be sure, I just asked him if we saw the movie. To jog his memory he watched the trailer. He still isn't sure only now he wants to watch it.

Oh no, why did I ask him

Jane · « **Reply #123 on:** February 20, 2023, 12:46:34 PM »

I do remember, after reading the novel, I did not want to watch Girl on a Train. Fortunately he was ready to turn the movie off after about 15 minutes.

Two tacos from La Fogata - very good. They included a card saying you save 10% if you have them deliver - I had no idea they did, so I'll try that next time.

I am reading about Biden's secret trip to Kyiv. I find the details interesting, including the fact Russia was informed just before his plane took off.

Fun fact, the air-raid phone alarms are voiced by Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker urging people to take cover, warning: “Don’t be careless. Your overconfidence is your weakness.”

When the alarms are over, Luke Skywalker says "“The air alert is over." May the force be with you.”.

The folder is full.

What the heck is going on?

Doug sent me the digitized score of No. 1 and it looks pretty good. I did my usual number of screw ups - putting the tuba part in the drums, half of the harp in piano, all that nonsense.

For chili?

No.... just to eat with dinners.

How To Succeed has landed in the Midwest. Hoping that will silence the Internet nitpickers.

Groceries have been procured. So IF we get hit with 2 feet of snow, I won't have to worry about food for a while.

Prayers and ~~~VIBES~~~ that DR George, DR TCB, and their fellow citizens do not experience catastrophic flooding.

Thinking also of the poor people of Turkey. It's just too much.

Sounds like some merry musical mixups. I’d love to hear those tuba drum notes.

Hello friends, new and old.
My identity has been stolen. I got a bill for $9k from a collection agency for an apartment somebody rented using my info. In North Carolina, a place I have not lived. So now I'm jumping through all the hoops, when here I was, minding my own business. One of the credit reporting agencies has already responded to my dispute that it IS my debt, because the collection agency says so! So now I await a police report I filed, and I have to offer proof I did not live in North Carolina. So dealing with this is like my part time job now.

DR Rodzinski, I forgot Jack Cassidy was in He & She.

He was quite kooky in it, and apparently they basically openly re-worked his character into Ted Baxter for the Mary Tyler Moore show a few years later.

Thanks for the Rupert Holmes interview, DR John G.

I believe he has blurbed BK's books in the past.

Another great Rupert story: A community theatre (St. Bart's) in Manhattan was doing Drood a few years back and my friends in the show said on the second weekend Rupert showed up, then he rented a hotel lounge out and paid for a catered party there for the whole cast and crew.

DR Elmore, when they arrive early, do they wait for you a certain amount of time?

I am so sorry. Vibes you can get this sorted out and other charges won't popped up. What is involved in proving you didn't live there? I know you can prove where you actually lived. Is that enough?

DR Rodzinski, I’m sorry to read about your identity theft situation.
What a nightmare.

DR Iris · « **Reply #142 on:** February 20, 2023, 02:32:49 PM »

Was that production of Drood the one where Sharon had the lead role?

Speaking of which, Sharon told me that she thought you were currently living in North Carolina!
Will ask her for information.

Rupert Holmes refers to BK as the West Coast Rupert.
We had a nice chat years ago at the now shuttered Barnes and Noble near Lincoln Center.

There’s a great video on YouTube of Rupert singing Beef Lo Mein at Kritzerland at Sterling’s.

DR Jane, I love that Mark Hamill is the voice of Ukraine’s air raid alerts!
😊

I think it is super cool

Horrible, DR Rodzinski.

How do you prove a negative?

That is crazy-making.
