Now I'm back and thinking about food.

Enter page four.

But shouldn't we be on page eight?

Not very sporting.

My favorite Hitchcock movies are, in no particular order:

North by Northwest
Vertigo
The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956)
Strangers on a Train
Shadow of a Doubt
Notorious
The Birds
Marnie
To Catch a Thief
Rear Window
Psycho

Could watch any of the above at any time.

Some others that may not be top tier but that I enjoy for whatever reason:

Torn Curtain
Topaz
Frenzy
I Confess
The Wrong Man
Young and Innocent
Stage Fright

Food must figure out me.

Today I must take Mrs R to her colonoscopy. We’ll drop the kids at their school over the border and then I gotta drive like mad through Canada down to Bellingham, WA, collegiate home of DR George. This promises to be a bad time. I’ll wait in the parking lot, and hopefully her day gets better from there.

Hope it all goes/went well!!

Here's an update on the Happy Cat Sanctary fire;158 cats perished in the fire, others survived with burns:
Adoption process and cause of fire continues at the cat sanctuary on Long Island
More updates released on the Happy Cats Sanctuary on Long Island. After investigators ruled out arson from the fire on March 31st that resulted in the death of cats and the owner, Chris Arsenault, more information was released to the public.
Before the fire, fire officials had been at the sanctuary working closely with Chris on the codes.
Brookhaven Fire Marshal Chris Mehrmann quoted,
“Cannot rule out a fire caused by propane-fed portable heaters that were in the area of fire origin.”
The investigation continues whether the fire extended due to the walls and flooring which were all custom jobs.
The cause of fire remains under investigation.
As for the surviving cats, the adoption process continues under the guidance of Chris's friend and main volunteer Lisa Jaeger who refuses to rest until all cats are in good homes. However, a new memo was released by the Happy Cats Sancturary on Lisa much to everyone's surprise.
As of now, Chris's daughter is working on her father's legacy.

~~~Continued Vibes for all the Surviving Cats!!~~~

Bach and Harnick.       

That is funny!

[George]

We made it here in time, without any disasters.

Very good news, Rodzinski!

I read an online story about an actor who went to audition for a musical. They auditioned with "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables." But the accompanist played it in a major key.

And I've spent the last half hour trying to sort that out in my head.

The person who invented "knock knock" jokes should get a no-bell prize.

  It's a shame that "I Like Him" was only released on a single and never on an album.  Luckily, it's on YouTube. 

Yes, it is!

Istanbul is beautiful.

That's great, Jane, but what about Constantinople??

Today we did a boat tour with two stops, one on the European side and one on the Asian side.

Very cool!

[George]

The flight from Ontario was delayed, first because of the earthquake in San Diego (for only about 20 minutes).  After that, we were told the air conditioner on the plane had to be repaired.  Finally, at about 11:30 am (the flight was supposed to leave at 10 am), the pilot announced that the flight was canceled.

Oh, my goodness!

[George]

My flight was rebooked through Dallas, leaving at 2:44 pm and arriving in DC at 1:55 am.   It arrived just about on time and I got home at 2 am.  I have to say the traffic was great at that hour!

Welcome home, Kevin!

Good night, friends.

And others.

Rough colonoscopy. They gave her fentanyl rather than the drug she’d used in the past. As I sat in the car, they called me three times to say she wasn’t ready. Blood pressure low, dizzy, nausea … Finally got her or a zombified version of her. Got her home, rested. Doing better now.

Glad she's doing better, but oh, my goodness, Rodzinski!  That's terrible!

[John G.]

That’s horrible, Rodzinski. Hope she’s past all that soon.

Madama Butterfly was really enjoyable.

It helped have 800 students there. They’re always the most vocal, most enthusiastic audience.
