Well, today's going to be a day.  On Sunday, I found out that Bill, a former co-worker, had died on December 12 and the memorial is going to be today.  My friend Margo and I are going.  She actualy got a call from his sister.  I sent an e-mail to all the people in our building (I will admit that not a lot of people who work there now worked there when he did...it's been at least 15 years since he left), but I didn't think to send out a district-wide e-mail.  He was the former HR Manager, so some people throughout the library might still remember him.  Oh, well.  Most people out in the branches probably wouldn't be able to easily get a vacation day the the day before, anyway. :-\

I did send FB messages to a few retired co-workers who knew him.  The service is in the morning, but I was able to get the whole day off.  Not much (or pressing) is happening at work right now.

This has been the worst season for people getting sick.  Sometimes repeatedly.  I should know.

It’s in my own house again, too.  Not me, fortunately, but I am taking great care...

The great mystery of my life has been solved!

Somebody on FB came up with the title of the movie I asked about here yesterday.  In fact, the film is even available on YouTube. 

As I suspected, it was a "B" that I'd never heard of and, except for the one scene of the people drowning in a basement, didn't really remember, since I was 3-4 years old when I saw it.

The film is FOG ISLAND with Lionel Atwill, George Zucco and Jerome Cowan.    Here's the link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLH43AlJtfI&feature=youtu.be (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLH43AlJtfI&feature=youtu.be)

Enjoy!

Listening to a Lena Horne CD I got for Christmas, one of those that puts four albums on two discs. Man, she was great! Cock-eyed Optimist, Surrey with the Fringe on Top, Mad About the Boy — these aren’t songs I’d associate with her but she surprises on each in amazing ways.

Well, today's going to be a day.  On Sunday, I found out that Bill, a former co-worker, had died on December 12 and the memorial is going to be today.  My friend Margo and I are going.  She actualy got a call from his sister.  I sent an e-mail to all the people in our building (I will admit that not a lot of people who work there now worked there when he did...it's been at least 15 years since he left), but I didn't think to send out a district-wide e-mail.  He was the former HR Manager, so some people throughout the library might still remember him.  Oh, well.  Most people out in the branches probably wouldn't be able to easily get a vacation day the the day before, anyway. :-\

I'm home.  The service was really nice.  We got there about 45 minutes late because there was an accident on I-5, but we were able to meet his sisters and his partner, Vo.  I think Vo is from Vietnam, but I don't remember.*  There was food after the service and people told stories.  It was really nice.  It's obvious that everyone there really loved Bill. :)

*Update...Margo has confirmed that Vo is from Vietnam.

I am sorry to hear about the loss if your former coworker, Bill.  I think it is lovely that you are taking the time off to e at hid empirical, I am sure Bills family will be touched y the gesture

Thanks, Vixmom.  He had three sisters and a brother and several nieces and their in-laws.  There was also one other sister who had already died.  They really appreciated everyone being there.

After the service, we first went to the south Seattle Silver Platters.  I bought 10, count 'em TEN, CDs!  They are all used, but look like they're in very good condition.  I paid less than $60 for all of them!

After my purchases, we went to the South Center Mall in Renton so that Margo could return a couple of items that she bought online.  Then we drove home.  After I dropped her off, I went to Taco Bell for dinner, then I stopped at work to get a few packages that had been delivered.  Then I came home, and now I'm watching TV and will ketchup on today's posts.

Oh!  I almost forgot!  For the lunch after the service, they had sandwich makings and many desserts.  I made a sandwich with sliced meats and cheese.  They also had a macaroni salad with chunks of ham and cheese...so today I actually had ham chunks and cheese slices (as well as cheese chunks and ham slices) for lunch! :D

And here's the proof:

I saw my therapist, Erik, today for an overdue session. He thinks I've been backsliding. I think that may have something to do with all the drilling the dentist has been doing.

My question for ASK BK DAY:

Have you driven past the new Academy Library - under construction - I guess where the May Co. used to be.  Do you think it will be a good resource for writers or others doing research?

I haven't driven down that stretch of Wilshire in quite some time.
