"23 Paces" sounds excellent. Must get that.
Perhaps the stores will have some produce and things like eggs and milk on the shelves today, though as VixMom said, getting gas is a real problem so trucks may not be able to deliver food and other things to the stores.
And the word of the day is: SPLENDIFEROUS!

I would take a gas fireplace anytime. My beloved Angel burned all four of her paws the time she jumped on the wood stove.
Had an update on my catsitter. She's in good spirits, getting started in rehab and learning to put on her socks. Great to hear that
All of the paellas were beautiful, so maybe I'll post a few pictures in a few days.
Work tomorrow for the first time in a week.
We shall see what this damage has wreaked on our schedule and our lives.
Pastor decided to throw a post hurricane party after church so everyone without power and heat could stay and have a hot meal watch TV and play some Wii
We watched the complete series of COPPER this weekend.
It's excellent; filled with many surprising plot twists.
I like how there are only certain times when one uses the word "toasty" to describe the warmth of a place. The word should never to be overused, as it imparts a context, and a particular type of feeling one needs to get now and then.

VIBES IT WON'T BE TOO BAD!!!
Not that I take the train that often but we have to go uptown and today the trains began running from 14th Street!
That mean Larry can go up and down to Toyland with much less trouble.
Actually, I have no idea what the HELL I’m going on about, other than it’s about time.
From DR TCB last night:
"I find some of Kincaide's works to be wonderful."
Sorry if I sounded overly critical, DR TCB. In your appreciation of Thomas Kincaide you are in the company of many people I know and love. Obviously, I hadn't even bothered to find the correct spelling of his name, so perhaps I need to educate myself before expressing a dismissive opinion.
I think I'm up. I was up at about five, which was really six, and fell asleep about seven, which was really eight, and woke up at ten, which was really eleven. Somewhat sleepless night so I have not a clew as to how many hours I actually got.

We could send CARE packages of powdered eggs and milk, and tinned salted beef and maybe some nylons and chocolate bars.
I am glad to hear that thngs are getting a teeny bit back to normal-- in some ways anyway.

Be sure to send the nylons with the seam down the back.
HA! Carol Burnett used to tell the story of the time she was doing a musical review at a New York Club....she had become sort of the toast of the town singing "I Love You, John Foster Dulles" - she had to do a quick change, and one night while she was singing, she was getting much bigger laughs than usual. She looked down and realized in her quick change....in the dark.....she had put her nylons on backwards with the seams in the front.
Sorry, one more about Du-par's. I was looking for something on the Miracle Mile location I recalled from my first year or two in L.A., and found this lovely postcard (which also shows how the other jernts used to look). Isn't that deco facade to die for?

Quick interlude after the morning book signing at the farmers market and the afternoon choir concert. We sold close to two cases, which was all we had, so we stayed around and just enjoyed the outdoors. Beautiful morning, sun felt healthful and healing. And we met some very nice people, too.
Plus, I got some watermelon radishes at the market. I love those, and the supermarkets never have them.
I am finally watching the 2010 BBC adaptation of BEN-HUR, and I am quite enjoying it. I love Alex Kingston and I'd wondered where she'd gone since ER wrote her off.

My mother often talked about working for the USO in Alaska during the War. Since nylon stockings were not available, she said they would often paint lines up the back of their legs.

Kevin - My cousin who saw Barbra in Brooklyn thought there was too much of the acts that weren;t Barbara. Did those acts travel with her to Vegas?
The cats are jumpy. The smart ones, anyway.
Hi everyone - report on last night. Everything went well. Had some mic issues that we solved half way through the evening. I played a lot of things. Sang things like "Laughter in the Rain", "Copacabana", "A Song for You", and stuff like that. DR Laura, I thought I had your song, but realized what I had was something with "Anne" in the title. I'll search for your song and let you know when I get it in. I'm back tonight from 5:00-9:00. It's a fun gig.
I've been dealing with some tricky health issues. The whopper migraines continue. It took me three days to get over the last one. I lose some of my vision when they occur, and last time I don't think I got 100% back, so reading is a bit of a strain.
My acupuncturist has some techniques that I'd not heard of. She implanted six tiny seeds--"ear seeds"--in my right ear. So far they're been quite comfortable. We'll see if they help my back problems.
And, would you believe that I am without heat? It's no hardship, as our weather is now back in the 80s, but it's a bizarre story. Last week I noticed what looked like little bits of charcoal in front of the wall heater. On closer inspection I saw that one was actually a whole burnt into the carpet. Apparently the pilot light (the heater was off) spewed this stuff out! The pilot light is off now, and a heating contractor came by, but he's a little slow, so I'll wait until the Gas company can come out to check it before we turn the pilot back on.

Congrats on the two cases of books. How many books in a case?

What do the smart ones know that the other's dont?
Jeanne, I hope you feel better soon.A double dose of vibes.

Sasha must have told them about her visit to the vet Friday. And the last week of getting medicine. Sasha won't come out from under the couch -- and Joshie takes off if I walk toward him. Um, Rex is kinda dumb. He will crawl into the carrier if it is on the floor.
Break legs tonight, BK!

I don't think so. :)
I'm still not comfortable about the cats going in those kennel boxes. So, I thought of another option, at least for going to my parents' house for the holidays. I'll only go for a couple days..maybe 2 nights at the most depending on the weather, so I may just take Callie with me. She can stay in my room if she doesn't get along with Mom's cats. I should be able to easily find someone to stop by and check on the other two cats as they don't need special care and would be ok with someone stopping by once or twice a day just to make sure they are ok. And Callie would be with me, so I could give her medicine. That way none of them would have to be in a kennel. Callie doesn't like to ride in the car, but it may be the best option.
then if I have to take them to the pet hotel, it would just be when I take out of town trips. That wouldn't be very often.
Not all that long ago Keith & I got matching new keyboards, each with a new mouse. While mine are still just fine, in fact I love the mouse, Keith's mouse is already sticking. Today we went to Best Buy to get him a gaming keyboard & mouse which he should have done in the first place.
Last time I looked at the new Nook Color & the salesman basically said there wasn't much difference between mine & the new one & the same issues existed. Today we have an extremely knowledgeable saleswoman who had upgraded to the new Nook Color. Had she helped me that day I would have purchased it. She said she hasn't had any issues with the new one & is very happy with it.
Today I almost purchased the new Nook Color but instead went on a waiting list for the brand new iPad mini. While I wait for it Keith will download the Nook App onto his iPad so I can see how easy it is to use.
Feel better vibes for DR Jeanne!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have had migraines before and I don't know what i'd do if this happened often.
Right now I have fiorinol pills and if i feel a migraine coming out i take one. IT seems to help. But luckily i only get one maybe once a year.

How is the night reading on the Nook Color? Or on the ipade mini?
I hear the new paperwhite kindle has amazing night reading. I have a really good/bright night light near my bed. So i'm okay. Plus i still read at least 50% real books.
Th e luncheon was a huge success
We had two freezers full of food - left over hotdogs, hamburgers and keilbasi from our Rally Day and Oktoberfest
we made 40 lbs of baked potatoes, Pastor's wife made a HUGE stock pot of homemade chicken soup, someone else brought a huge crockpot of potato soup, we made a big salad, someone brought a tray of perogis, we cooked up some pasta shells ans made a tray with butter sauce, a tray with chees sauce and a tray with marinara sauce
Usually we start with one side of the room or the other but today we announced all without power were to be first at the buffet
Everyone had enough to eat with very few left overs
for dessert we had a selection of cakes, cookies and brownies people brought alomng
we fed about 250 people and everyone was satisfied
It was a really lovely few hours after a horrible week
~~~~~Improving health vibes to DR Jeanne!~~~~~

I think it might have been easier & more comfortable than trying to get the seems on real stocking straight.

Not only are they still in the show, but now her sister, Roslyn Kind, does a duet with her!

That's nice. How many people were still without power?
I'm afraid I'm coming down with the cold Richard had last week :P
You can bet that I'll check with the gastroenterologist before starting the prep for the procedure scheduled for Thursday. I'd hate to go through all that and have them tell me when I get there that they can't do the test.
No, DR TCB, it was a store-bought sheet cake. Rob brought one piece to the table and ML and I each had a bite.

It is on the National Geographic Channel. I think it starts at 830.
Last Christmas I received a DVD set of BBC productions of George Eliot novels which for some reaosn we never watchedThe mini-series with Douglas Hodge as Lydgate? He's currently playing Cyrano on Broadway. I love that version.
last night Vixdad and I watched the first three episodes of MiddleMarch and today we watched the last three episodes
we truly enjoyed it
Are you sure it is repeated at 11. My guide says that there is some 9/11 show on that channel at 11.
