It appears no one won the Powerball drawing last night, so now the jackpot is over one billion dollars.

Today's Twin Cities marathon was suddenly cancelled at the last moment because it's going to be near 90 and they felt it just wasn't going to be safe for the runners.

So, all my training for naught.

singdaw · « **Reply #276 on:** October 01, 2023, 04:51:01 AM »

Thank you all for the condolences.

This marker delineates the point where Iowa intersects with South Dakota and Minnesota. It used to be located in the middle of the road, but cars kept hitting it.

What is today?

Where is the new thread?

I have read the new notes.

Condolences to DR singdaw and his husband and family.

Sunday.....or Saturday.....I'm not sure which day it is.

Must be the allergies.

I am incensed by the man with the emails to MR BK.

When I was a wee tyke - my grandparents would give us all of their old Readers Digest magazines.

I liked some of the articles but especially the little anecdotes.

DR JANE's story about the birthday card reminded me of this one:

A woman realized on December 16, that she had neither purchased nor mailed any Christmas cards.

She rushed to the store and bought three packages of the only cards they had left.

She hurriedly signed them, addressed the envelopes, and rushed them to the post office.

She was feeling very good about her accomplishment until she picked up the one card left and read it:

This little card is just to say -

[Inside]:

A gift you'll love is on the way!

Happy October! On the new Broadway Radio Show I am joined by Drew Larimore and J. Oconer Navarro to chat about their new musical The New Peggy, which just released a studio cast recording. It's a funny, dark, crazy show about a secretary whose life takes a sudden turn after an unexpected phone call.

Good morning, all ... on whichever day we're in!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #290 on:** October 01, 2023, 08:06:15 AM »

That exchange with the PayPal customer is outrageous.

Words fail me, actually. I can't quite put into words what that would do to me. I think BK kept his cool longer than I could have.

I'm going to go ahead and post here because I'll be busy with stuff through the day.

The Guys and Dolls matinee yesterday was stupendous -- in spite of the fact that Sky's head mic refused to work from the get go. It took just a moment for a stage person to hand him a hand mic - which he carried throughout the show and it not only worked flawlessly, he was an absolute Master(son) at it. Bravo, sir.

It was also stupendous in spite of the fact that on the closing chords of "If I Were a Bell", the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate. No idea what triggered it, but it was the most efficient such thing I've experienced. The Bridgeport FD was there within a few minutes and their look-through and all-clear was accomplished in another five, to grateful cheering by everyone as they left. I just thank GAWD the week's endless rain had finally ended a couple of hours before.

Hmmm. I wonder what that gray line is in the above post. Or does anyone else see it? It's not there when I go in to edit, so the hell with it. Let it stand. Or not stand, as the case may be...

Condolences to DR singdaw and the DH and family.

I've read them.

bk · « **Reply #298 on:** October 01, 2023, 08:59:12 AM »

I wrote them.

And promptly forgot to change the day because Doug called and we had an hour-long conversation and then I never remembered to change the day. Such are the ways of seventy-five.
