I guess he and his family (wife and two kids) are staying in a motel just about a mile from where I live.  My parents live about 10 miles away.  I wonder why they didn't get a hotel closer to them.

I had to get a urine sample from Poe following the course of antibiotics he completed a few days ago, and after 19 hours in jail (a.k.a. my bathroom) he finally gave. So now I can drop it off soon, which is wonderful because they’re only open till noon on Saturday.

And that, my friends, is what makes my Saturday morning. None of this ushering at 7:30 am or putting my tender parts in a vice stuff. No sir, just some good old fashioned cat pee success. By God, do I know how to live, or what?

Annabelle and I made our patrol.  The pigeons and a few sparrows were out in front of the building pecking at things on the sidewalk.  She was so entranced she did not want to leave those huge windows.  A work crew finally showed up and scared her into running up the stairs to the second floor.

At least Keith has agreed to go out on the zodiac  without me.  If I hadn't made an appointment to get my hair washed I think I would have braved it with him.  Still tempted to change my appointment and go but the views from the ship this afternoon have the potential to offer  better wildlife viewing.

I know he is sharp and he certainly has the credentials to prove it.

A dear friend, a very expressive talented singer, was getting very touchy at a business party with a gentlemen (who was and is gay) who was very amused by her blatantly touching his chest pretending to be reading his name tag.

I said to her later that its fine that Jim was amused (maybe even flattered) by her touching him on his name tag, but that could cause trouble with the wrong person.  She said "Well, I'm bipolar!"   I said I never knew that, would never have known in general.  She said, "Well, I'm not officially, but my sister is!"

DR elmore a sterile,  more accurate sample, can be done at the office.  Of course collecting it at home is free.

You still have to buy the non-absorbing litter kit and pay for the lab test. You also have to have an extra litter pan that's absolutely clean, and a way to segregate the cats until the appropriate donation is made. So it is indeed a LOT easier (on the owner) AND more accurate if the vet can take the sample at the office. And that depends a lot on the cat on that particular day. :)  When it works, it's worth the extra bucks.

Litter?  We just lined the box with a plastic bag to collect the pre.   I stopped doing it though  after the results were shown, incorrectly, to be normal.  I insisted the cat was having a problem and sure enough when the vet took the sample it was far from normal.

I found a great way to deal with heartburn and acid reflux. I now keep some alkaline water on hand and drink a small glass (3-4 oz) of it whenever heartburn hits. The conventional advice is to drink water to dilute the acid, but tap water--even filtered tap water--is slightly acid, so it's a less than perfect choice. Alkaline water works much better! Many stores sell it now. My Trader Joe's sells a large bottle of it for $1.50. I find that it helps immediately.

I found a great way to deal with heartburn and acid reflux. I now keep some alkaline water on hand and drink a small glass (3-4 oz) of it whenever heartburn hits. The conventional advice is to drink water to dilute the acid, but tap water--even filtered tap water--is slightly acid, so it's a less than perfect choice. Alkaline water works much better! Many stores sell it now. My Trader Joe's sells a large bottle of it for $1.50. I find that it helps immediately.

I'm going to have to tell my mom and niece about that!  They both have to use Tums a lot.

After this long period of next to no work, I have three projects to work on this weekend, so I won't be going far from my work table this weekend.

Congrats on the work, Larry!

Yes, congrats

I recall a lot of bare sightings at the gym (back in the day), and even some bare bear sightings, but never a polar bear sighting.

AHA!  In just 30 minutes I shall be the new and improved JRAND68...yes I made it....and you at HHW are the first to know.

Congratulations are not in order yet.....but I shall anticipate them while watching more of my favorite CARROLL BAKER films on TCM....

SISTER ACT rehearsal was fine although the director feels impelled to give me TONS of notes and line readings as if I were one of her students.  I shall be glad to give her what she wants.....  Thanks!

Back from a fun dinner with the Pearls at Ruth's Chris.  Tonight we all had the prix fixe dinner, which is actually a great deal.  I didn't want the high calories of the New York (1390) so I had the filet (500).  It was really great and very filling, so I may do that from now on.  I had a salad and some kind of potato thing, and then creme brûlée for dessert.

I am off to see Paul Schrader's FIRST REFORMED, including a Q&A with same, at the renovated and soon-to-be-publicly-opened Bedford Playhouse.

I like Paul Schrader the man and find interviews with him always interesting, but I have mixed feelings about his films. So, how was it?

Watching The Chalk Garden. It's great to see Hayley Mills and John Mills acting together.

When I saw the play, Juliet Mills was in the Deborah Kerr role.

I was going to do some shopping and then maybe go someplace to eat, but instead I got my car washed then came to Happy Teriyaki.  I guess I'll go shopping after eating. ;)

Well, it was a good thing I ate before I went shopping.  I pretty much just got some yogurts and sour cream.  Since I ate first, I could get home quickly after shopping and get everything into my fridge.
