Had a little of the Panera creamy tomato soup left, so am having that now.

It's really not that bad.

This is funny...well, it is to me. BK, I was curious about what you had previously written about Eugene Ormandy, so I searched his name in the Search BK's Notes Archive box.

The first link was from March 12, 2024, almost exactly one year ago. Aside from writing about the "Eugene Ormandy, The Columbia Stereo Years 1957-1963, 88 CDs," you also mentioned this:

Getting these into the computer to listen to is a bit of an ordeal – the CD drive only works on my laptop, so I have to use a hard drive, get everything on the hard drive and then from there get it into Music. The good news is that whenever I get a new computer, the drive will work and I can cut out all those stupid, unnecessary steps. Of course, who knows when I’ll be getting a new computer?

And in today's notes, you wrote:

Oh, and I’m not uploading these to the Music folder – too cumbersome a project that takes way too much time. When I get a new computer, the CD drive will work properly and uploading is a breezy breeze.

So, BK, when are you getting a new computer??

George · « **Reply #8 on:** March 01, 2025, 01:41:09 AM »

You certainly deserve one.

And now, I'm off to bed. I need to get up early for a day of driving and hiking.

Have a good day, all!

George, hoping you enjoy your day of driving and hiking! Sounds like a lot of fun.

Freddie · « **Reply #11 on:** March 01, 2025, 04:06:55 AM »

vixmom, I really enjoyed your report of the concert last night and the new CD acquisitions!

Freddie · « **Reply #12 on:** March 01, 2025, 04:07:16 AM »

John G, your dinner last night sounds amazing!

Freddie · « **Reply #13 on:** March 01, 2025, 04:08:12 AM »

BK, it's great that the more important envelope came yesterday, at least!

Freddie · « **Reply #14 on:** March 01, 2025, 04:09:10 AM »

Also the acquisition of the package with the CDs! It should be a lot of great listening.

TOD: In non-candy snacks, a favorite for many years had been the various flavors of Combos, mainly the round pretzels with a cheese filling.

Also, the various flavors of Pringles. They could get quite inventive with their flavors.

Every now and then I have a craving for chips and dip, the dip made of sour cream and Lipton onion soup mix.

Fortunately I almost always have both those ingredients on hand.

Aldi and Lidl both carry reasonably priced large bags of thick cut wavy chips, perfect for dipping, ( the name brands have gotten ridiculously overpriced for underpacked bags of air and a handful of chips) and I try to keep a bag of those in the house.

I wonder why I don’t lose weight?

Good morning, all!

BK, I am green with envy over that Sony package. I've been craving the new Ormandy set since I saw it in Gramophone. I'm also craviong the other two Ormandy sets. When I was a teenager, my three favorite conductors were Ormandy, Arthur fiedler, and Antal Dorati, and I think they remain my favorites.

I had a rough first night of sleep, then everything calmed down after 1:00. When the alarm rang at 5:30, I was dreaming that I was sitting on a hillside overlooking a body of water while Robert Kimball and his wife Abby and a young boy - the Kimballs have two children - were fishing while we discussed a project.

When the alarm rang at 5:30, I turned it off, went back to bed, cuddled with Thatch and Annabelle, and when I decided it was time to rise, it was 7:00. I must have slept for a bit as well.

This morning, my big errand is to cart the trash and recyclables to the basement. After that, I'm taking it easy.

Also congratulations on the important envelope and the surprise Ormandy
