Well, you've read the notes, the notes were certainly notes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows that are certainly cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: LUCUBRATION!
-
First post after BK.

George, regarding your post last night, putting the closing bracketed words makes no difference, unless your post will be quoted or you want to change the font and size back to what it was previously. Trust me, I have done it both ways many times, including last night’s Page 6.

Test #1
-
Test #2
-
Test one is with opening and closing brackets, and Test two is opening brackets only.
-
Neither one came out with an Arial Black font.

Listening to Sassy sing songs based on classical music. Her range on this album, her vocal range, is really kind of astonishing. The arrangements are full and fun, but the mix is so weird - the strings jump from the right to the left - I'm trying to fathom what was done here. They started on the right but are now left of center. But she sounds great. Third track the strings are hard panned left. First track they were hard panned right. Second song they were pretty much just left of center. Maybe someone thought this was a comedy album.
-
The charts are by Marty Manning, who I know from some Columbia albums including one I had called The Twilight Zone and which contained no music from The Twilight Zone other than the theme.

That's weird.

Yesterday, I went Legally Blonde prop shopping! I got almost $30 of stuff from the local Dollar Tree, then I got a few things from a couple of other places. I ran into my friend Marsha at Fred Meyer and she said that I could borrow her laptop that she never uses! I still need to find out how many they'll need. Hopefully, not too many.
-
Today, I have some TV watching to ketchup on, as well as some laundry to do. Little know alternative fact: "Laundry To Do" is the original title of what became "Magic To Do" in Pippin.

;)

And on that note (G-flat), I'm off to bed.
Have a good day, all!

Listening to a really interesting Yusef Lateef album - made in 1961 some ignoramus on Amazon called this World music and acted as if Lateef, like others, were jumping on a bandwagon. Funny thing is, in 1961 World music was not a thing and the term didn't really start being used until around 1983. So what Lateef was was a pioneer, and envelope pusher. But this isn't off-putting or weird - a lot of it is straight ahead jazz and great jazz at that and beautifully recorded. A few tracks have some exotic instruments or percussion, but they're still tonal and very attractive. But the reason I bought it is because he has the great taste to include the love theme from Spartacus and the theme from The Robe and that automatically gets this an A.
-
What's really interesting about the Spartacus track is that Lateef got to it long before Bill Evans' all-time classic version on Conversations With Myself in 1963

Good morning to all.

Maybe go to a store like the Container Store or Ikea that sell computer desks. They sometimes have "display" laptops that are made of cardboard or plastic. Perhaps they have them for sale or they could direct you to a place that you can buy them.

Sunday morning greetings! We slept in this morning and Richard's getting ready to attend church at 11. Afterwards we'll probably check TKTS for our one last theatre opportunity before we go home tomorrow :'(
-
Good morning, all.
-
Yes, I have a few pieces of photographic evidence to post when I’m on the computer later. It was a beautiful day in the city, the show and the food and the company were great, and a good time was had by all.
-
Desperate Measures is fantastic, a perfect entertainment, and I could only wonder when it will become available for performance out in the world.
-
Good morning, all!
-
Of course, the day was not without incident.
-
Yesterday's sore throat has indeed become a cold. I slept in after feeding A & T, and when I take my meds this morning, I will add 3000 mg of vitamin C to the mix.
-
I was feeling a light scratchy throat on the train last night, which thankfully disappeared in a Benadryl-aided sleep that I sorely needed.

Here's last night's update on little Mego:
A beautiful day that brought beautiful news!
After a week of the most godawful heat and anxiety about Mego, this morning we got a wonderful update (and a break from the oppressive weather). He is doing astonishingly well. At one point, the vet even used the word “phenomenal.”
Last night, the first attempt to wean him off the vasopressin did not go as planned, so this morning they tried again. As of 11 a.m. he was down to a minimal dose of vasopressin. If all goes well, by tomorrow he will be off it completely and they will start weaning him of norepinephrine, the last vasopressor. His red blood cell levels are holding steady, not quite optimal, but almost there. Very little fluid is draining out of his belly, and what is coming out shows no bacteria. The drains in his belly may be coming out tomorrow, too. His blood pressure was 113 this morning, which is great!
And Mego himself is trying to say he feels better. He is more active and repeatedly tries to get on his feet. He is still weak and wobbly, but with a little support from the techs he manages to stay upright for a bit.
Wait, Dr. DiFazio is calling! And she has even better news for this late evening update!
Mego did so well this afternoon that they weaned him off the vasopressin completely and started weaning him off the norepinephrine. His blood pressure remains stable and is right where it should be.
The drains were removed earlier than planned, because effectively nothing was coming out. Another good sign. His red blood cells remain at a good level, not quite normal, but close. He is less and less wobbly. He got up and went straight for his food tonight. And best of all, and the most tangible sign of his improvement, he made his way to the litterbox for the first time and peed. That was HUGE.
“I’m really thrilled!” Dr. Difazio said, and it sounded like she meant it. Thrilled is an understatement for how we are feeling, though!
We’d like to thank Dr. Jillian Difazio and the entire ICU team at VERG Brooklyn for the care they are giving Mego. And a big thank you, too, to Onika and Dee and all the front desk staff who have taken our many calls with such patience and have always made sure to get pictures to us.
He meowed for his picture tonight. He is such a sweet boy.
-
That is some amazing and incredible news.
-
More evidence.
-
I need more coffee, breakfast, and my meds. Then I will make the bed, clean the litter and take Missy for her building patrol.
After that, I am going to make a ton of chili and freeze most of it.
-
And here's Ben taking that picture.
-
I also need to sweep and vacuum.
-
A DR and her DH.
-
Those are wonderful photos! I'm ready to return for more margaritas and enchiladas.
-
DR vixmom, you need to contact the York and ask them where your CD is!
-
Did anyone get a phot of you, DR ChasSmith?
-
My margarita (Mamma sized) was really excellent.
-
Did anyone get a phot of you, DR ChasSmith?
Not with my phone/camera, and I don't remember if anyone else did. Sadly, we didn't think to get an entire group shot taken.
-
DR vixmom, you need to contact the York and ask them where your CD is!
And tell them I want one, too!
-
Also, no Jose this time! But I know he had been out of town the day or two before.

Speaking of the Dollar Tree.....
Keith put up a scathing review of the strange hotel we stayed at in Detroit, the one with the concrete flow and large ugly tub in the room. He mentioned the decor of Dollar Store furniture and they responded with a thank you for the review ;D
-
That is some amazing and incredible news.
It sure is.
-
Nice photos and a bonus to see Ben.
-
Good morning, all!
-
Loving the photos.
-

In that order, yes.

Well, the problem is my iPad, not all the bracket stuff. Although my iPad does not show the fonts as Arial Black; my regular computer shows it correctly in today's posts and yesterdays posts. So, never mind. The problem is me!
-
Great news about the little DK Mego.
-
Loved the photos.
-
Already clear this morning with blue skies.
-
Nick has had breakfast and his pain medicine.
-
I have had one cup of my coffee medicine.
-
I am meeting my friend, Betzy, for breakfast / brunch at 11:00
-
That is the only thing on my schedule for today.
-
I am sure I can find some more trouble to get into before the day is over.
-
The weather is expected to be great all week, with highs in the eighties by mid-week
-
One more post.

We’re relaxing in the shade on Times Square after purchasing great seats for WAITRESS matinee.

I 'm innocent I tell ya! Inmocent!

As far as anyone knows

Yes. I must!

Thatch is stoned on catnip, and I have sent ten more agent submissions.
-
Best of luck, Elmore.
-
Watching Deadline —U.S.A. It’s late Humphrey Bogart, and he shows his age, but it’s a tight script and Richard Brooks’ pacing is wonderful.
-
I'm up, I'm up - eight hours and fifteen minutes of sleep.
-
The chili is finished, and when it cools, I will freeze it. I did 16 agent submissions, so I feel quite good about the day.
-
I just discovered that eh library has half of the movies in my Netflix queue, including a number of Fritz Lang and Jean-Pierre Melville flicks that I want to see.
-
Now watching Wonderstruck, a movie that as I recall BK really liked.
-
Woke from a nap to the sound of rain beating against my windows. The rain has been really good for my cucumbers.
-
Rain?
-
Very sluggish here today, site-wise. Have let them know.
-
Those are wonderful photos! I'm ready to return for more margaritas and enchiladas.
In that order, yes.
It sounds good to me.

The "closet" was a plastic rack to hang clothes on. It wouldn't have been so bad had they provided more than 2 hangers.
-

Not sure if it is the site or me but everything is extremely slow to post.

DITTO!

My question answered. I hope they fix it soon. Slow is better than not at all.

I believe so, and the empanadas as an appetizer. It was all exceptionally good.

Cool! Who knew things like this existed?

SOLO was better than I expected. There were a few fun moments seeing how relationships began. I had to remind myself Harrison Ford in the role cannot be duplicated, but then neither would a younger Harrison Ford been as perfect a match.
-
Yes, excellent idea DR Matthew.
-
From the wonderful Wonderstruck to an oddity among oddities. I'm now watching The Road Movie, a documentary of images taken from the dashboards of cars driving through Belarus. There's lot of snow and ice, not to mention cursing and an amazing amount of accidents, which some of the cameras just stop for and keep running. It's like a documentary of rubbernecking (which I loathe), among other things.

Hi, Kevin!

Right now, I'm watching episode 4 of the first season of The Expanse. I got the DVD set from the library.
-
After I'm done with that, my friend Margo and I are going to see Ant-Man and the Wasp in IMAX 3D.
-
So, I liked WAITRESS more than Richard did, which was exactly what I expected. We taxied from the theatre to one of our favorite restaurants, La Bonne Soupe, for our "farewell to New York" dinner. Nice walk home down 6th Avenue and we're in for the night. I'm as packed as I can be the night before.

Had you seen the movie? I really liked the movie. And was John Cullum still in the show?

Yes, I'd seen the movie, but Richard had not. His objection was the portrayal of all the men as jerks. No John Cullum...
-
Well, my show is done and my laundry is done, so now I must get ready to go to the movies and a late dinner.
Until later!

It was so strangely wonderful I'm going to watch it again before I return it to the library.
-
Site sluggishness was attended to instantly, so that's good. I hate sluggishness, and yet I, myself, am feeling quite sluggish at this time.
-
Had two In 'n' Out burgers for my meal o' the day and didn't have the fries, so that's just under 1000 calories.
-
Finished with my viewing and listening to some music - natch, Gloria, natch.
-
Spongebob is closing on Broadway. I wonder how much money is headed to the bottom of the sea with that venture.
-
Let's move on ...

I'm going to try to read a little.

DR TCB in case you haven't gone to Facebook recently I suggest you look at Jed's post. His father passed away today on his 69th birthday :(
-
Condolences to former DR Jed on the loss of his father and to former DR Ann on the loss of her father in-law.
-
Good evening.

Thank you, Jane, for the news about Jed’s father.

I don’t go to Facebook, so I probably would not have known.

Condolences to Jed and Ann on the passing of Jed’s father.

Warm day today.
-
The temp got up to 82 in Tacoma, and even warmer as you head south towards Jane and Keith
-
I didn’t have brunch with Betzy today
-
When I got to her place I called, but when she answered she said something serious had come up and she couldn’t go.
-
She said she would call me later and explain, but she never called.
-
So, I have no idea what happened.
-
I swung through McDonalds’ and got a burger instead of having brunch.
