Oh my, that did seem odd, but your reasoning makes sense.
It would be the opposite for me, as I don't think we have much of those issues on the Metro North lines. It does seem like you always hear about it on the LIRR.
Chas I downloaded the ICon app today I was able do secure a parking place ( and prepay) only a block from from our destination for $15

If the driving is too treacherous I can always stop at one of the myriad hotels/motels between NYC and home
I feel pretty good today and I hope this euphoria means the worst part of my cold is over. Annabelle and Thatch took very good care of me.
Larry if you want to browse Keith's travel photos on my fb page, feel free to be a temporary friend and then unfriend me after we are home. I don't mind.
Larry I may be late I just stupidly locked my keys inside the car. I am trying to get AAA on the phone
You unfriended me ages ago ;D I just sent you a friend request in case I loose the connection and can't accept you.
Free screeners have nothing to do with actors mumbling - I've been railing on about this for five years now, probably even more, every time I watch something new - I point out the actors doing it, I point out the ones who speak up like professionals - whether on Blu-ray, DVD, screeners or TV/cable/Netflix.
I think I'll have some hot soup. Comfort food.
TTFN.

It’s all I see me wanting after the surgery. But who knows? I could want a side of beef.
DR Jeanne, during my two and a half bedridden days, all I ate was chicken stock with chopped fresh garlic. It was really soothing.
I will say one thing - unless some of the performers are lying about their age, which would be stupid given the nature of the show, several who are a few years younger than I and a few who are my exact age look old enough to be my father. So, either I'm doing something right or they're doing something wrong.

In a blinding flash of personal brilliance, I left my phone at the theater last night. Having realized that, and having proven it by using "Find My iPhone", I also know it's sitting on the keyboard.
What I can't figure out is how in the HELL I drove all the way home without ever realizing it wasn't sitting in its usual spot in the car, and how in the HELL I went to bed without running my mental checklist about what needs overnight charging. Now I'll be thinking about being without it on my whole trip to the theater this evening. What did we ever do before we had these things?
Fortunately, it was fully charged last night and this large iPhone battery is such that it should barely be down from when I left it. I expect to find it no lower than 85 to 90 percent. But: we'll see.
And now, to bed. I have nothing specific planned for today! Hoo and Ray!
Have a good day, all!
I'd rather drop the $$ on a hotel room than be trapped on a train car without heat, light and restroom facilities for hours on end
We are at the incredible Chobe Lodge in Botswana. It is the only lodge inside of Chobe National Park, home to the largest population of elephants anywhere in the world. We must have seen 30 of them a alongside the road.

Back from stuff and will be on my way to see some musical revue shortly.
Nicky and I took turns taking naps today.
Regarding the mumbling, it's not just actors who are guilty of this. I find that many young people do it routinely. The majority of people who have customer service positions or other jobs where they deal with the public a lot over the phone are younger and do NOT speak clearly. When I ask them to speak up they then YELL. No, no, no. Sometimes I'll ask them to adjust their headset. That helps. It's also a subtle reminder to them that they need to take responsibility for their side of the dialogue and I'm not just some deaf old lady.
I feel that business communications training is in order. Quite a bit, actually. Perhaps courtesy could be covered as well. Whenever I speak to someone over the phone who's courteous, business-like, and speaks clearly, I always assume they're over 40. When I meet them in person--if I do--that impression is usually proven to be correct.
I am fighting a cold. I did today's laundry, but may not do much more. What a bad cold & flu season this is!
MEGA HEALTHY VIBES to all!
In the anti-miracle department, I had to sit through two crushingly awful hours of a musical revue featuring performers over sixty, like sixty is old. The oldest performer in the show was 90. It's a fun and even noble idea, save for the fact that this excruciatingly bad show had no structure, no point, no forward momentum, horrible staging, and performers who were probably not so hot to begin with, well... And jingoism at its most lethal. And this was a full Equity production that cost a LOT of dough and had a four-week run. I just bristle when I see opportunities wasted like this.

I am home from a fantastic day with our DR vixmom!
Back home safe and sound after a wonderful day with Elmore
