4our!!!!

[George]

So far, the other black keys don't suspect a thing.

[George]

Made it to the airport. Long morning already.

~~~Travel Vibes for John!!~~~

[John G.]

DR John will you be staying in a hotel near your mother?

I’m staying at a friend’s house. Too bad she won’t be there. But she’s in Tanzania, so I understand.

[George]

In light of DR elmore3003 reminding us about the forthcoming new complete recording of Oklahoma, it is worth remembering that if Curly married Jud instead of Laurie, he'd be Curly Fry.

As expected, no Emmy noms for us. It's all about money. For example, only three nominees in the best actress category in short form - no one watched our show, that's clear. And all three are from big-funded high-profile shows. For best short form comedy or variety - the nominees include big, big shows that must have done a ten-minute puff piece - I mean, ridic. No one watched our show. And for the Emmy people, one look at the ridiculous number of nominations, you can only imagine how much the Academy of TV must make because each entry costs money. And it's all big studio/streaming shows that spend millions on promotion. No one else has a chance. Moving short form into prime time Emmys was a bad mistake. We would have had a much better shot if it had been kept as a daytime Emmy thing. Friend Kevin Spirtas, who won multiple daytime Emmys for his short form, was furious because, of course, they're nominated for zero now.

That's just not fair!

I now own a 24 inch iMac. The service said delivery in 3-5 days, but once Joshie and I finished, we were told it won't arrive until July 26, during Joshie's trip to Los Angeles. He's away until Aug. 3, I think, so I won't see it for another month. Our  Apple clerk wasca lovely young lady named Liz and she has a calico cat named Mima. It was a fun shopping day.

Congrats on the new computer, Larry!

I admit to being overly interested in the comments from Kevin Costner's estranged wife.  The latest is that Costner is a "very money focused person",,,,.  This from the woman who tried to keep his house in spite of the prenup agreement, and will be receiving $129,000 per month in child support

Yikes!!

[Jane]

DR John will you be staying in a hotel near your mother?

Tanzania, very nice.  It is great you can still stay there.  Do you rent a car?

The lack of not going back to sleep is because Grant's tree people were back today, in his yard AND mine. I went to do a Gelson's run and they were not only blocking the driveway, they had tree crap all over it. I got very strong and they moved it all but it took ten minutes to finally be able to drive out of there.

[bk]

Got some drinks at Gelson's, along with a couple of other necessities.

Am now making Wacky Noodles.

Yikes!!

LOL.  She said she needs the home so the children won't have to leave it, except they will share custody and the children will still be in the house 50% of the time 

[elmore3003]

BK, I'm so sorry about the Emmy nominations.

[DR Iris]

Iris, I don't recall what our taxes were in Ashland, only that living outside of the town they were lower than in town.  I'm pretty sure they were not $5,896 a month.

********
Jane, there were some posts last night that were confusing.
After we discussed how much upkeep your Ashland house required, the Sondheim townhouse listing info was posted. That $5,896 per month referred to Sondheim’s townhouse.

[DR Iris]

Whenever I read BK’s notes referring to the number of pages he has written, I start to think it’s January. 😄

[DR Iris]

Then I step outside to find it’s 90 degrees.

[DR Iris]

From Iris:

It seems like a perfect balance, right?
Gardens, birds, lakes, walks in nature, combined with the excitement, culture, theater, and experiences that only Manhattan can provide.

It does sound lovely.  DR Jeanne maybe you should move there with DR Iris

That would be fun!

LOL, I did get that.  I was simply responding to what our tax situation would have been living outside the town.  County taxes were lower.

[Jrand74]

No taxation without representation!

[DR Iris]

“I've long thought that his studio, with the piano, should be recreated for the Smithsonian, like Julia Child's kitchen.”

Someone posted this about Sondheim’s studio on ATC.
I like that idea.

[Jrand74]

Happy to hear that DR ELMORE will soon have a new computer in his house!

I'm sure the cats will be most interested.

[Jrand74]

It is 85 degrees in these parts - but no rain predicted this afternoon or early evening.

[DR Iris]

Aha, Jane, it appears that I was the one who was confused.

Not an unusual occurrence these days. 😉

[DR Iris]

DR elmore, congrats on the new iMac!

When I’m in New York, I live just around the corner from that Apple store.

I have always had good experiences there, and am impressed with their customer service, which has not been the case at some other locations.

[singdaw]

Glad the purchase is completed, DR elmore3003. Sorry that it will take so long to be operational.

~~~STRONGEST VIBES~~~ that the current model holds out until then.
