Good Morning, Good Muffin to you.  DR Vixmom - I loved your story.  I hope the concert was great.  Not much happening around these parts today.  Tonight, I have a rehearsal for a Gala tomorrow night at the theatre company where I've seem to have made my home.  We will be announcing next season tomorrow night with musical numbers from the musicals.  Today at work is just "another day" - as Paul McCartney and his "other" group "Wings" said back in the 70's

From DR Ron:

Quote
No.  I have shoes I buy from an online specialist shop called Orthofeet that I have been buying from for several years.  The orthotics specialist examined one of them and said it was deep enough for the inserts that I will get.

I can, however, go back and order shoes when I need new ones (as long as they are stylish, that is).

LOL, stylish is important.

I am familiar with Orthofeet.  To clarify, insurance didn't cover the shoes you purchased from them, but will cover shoes if you purchase a pair from the doctor?

Good morn, crew!
vixmom, your tale of getting to the show sounded like a particularly harrowing episode of Mission Impossible.

George! Glad you got the goods. I was in fear that the Coffee Crisps would be melted.

I don't know about George's weather, but the temps here have been on the cooler side.  It is warming up today.

Thanks for your heroic narrative last night, DR vixmom. Glad all turned out well.

Because so many commented on it,  I have made my way through the entirety of vixmom's evening exploits.   

What a night!  But I must say it's tough for me to follow a story that fills two pages in one-sentence posts.

When DR Vixmom tells the story the suspense just builds until the conclusion.

Thankfully I have never experienced a complete shutdown of a train.  I have been stopped a good while waiting to move again.

The car ride experience I have dealt with.  Before GPS I did a number of phone calls while Keith was on the computer reading the directions to me.

Last night I decided to stop read Palmares by Gayl Jones.  While I was interested in reading the book, I was hesitant when I saw it was an Oprah book club pick.  But heck, sometimes I agree with her book picks.

I probably would have finished reading the book if I hadn't seen something that said this is the first book in a series.

Going back to reviews, I found that readers from Brazil, where the book takes place, are very unhappy with the lack of research and errors in their culture and language  :o

They didn't put that in the lyric to "How High the Moon."

Our garage door is being replaced today.  Curious how the work is progressing I took our recycling down to the garage.  It looks like it will be awhile before they are done.

The parking garage is about half empty.  It appears a good number of the couples only took one car out of the garage for the day.

It is only 63 degrees out.  I was hoping it would be warmer.

DR RODZINSKI and DR singdaw - scoundrel and cretin are two mild words compared to those I was thinking last night.

I broke down and bought the Cd for Diana: The Musical. What was I thinking? Was I thinking?
