Well, you've read the notes, the notes didn't like the apple fritter, so there, and now it is time for you to post until the frittering cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: AFFLATUS!
-
First post after BK.

Topic of the Day:
A Quiet Thing
Tell Me On a Sunday
What Can You Lose?
When I Fall in Love
These are just the first titles that popped into my head.

Well, this is pretty cool: Illinois governor signs order to protect transgender students (https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/30/us/illinois-governor-pritzker-transgender-students/index.html). :)
-
And now, I'm off to bed.
Have a good day, all!

I, too, must be on my way to the bedroom environment.

Slow news day on HHW.

DR JANE et al - I had a good time at the Reunion. Attendance was sparse with only about 35 or 40 folks there.
I decided before I went that I would talk to everybody and meet the ones I didn't know. I was for the most part successful.
My chicken pasta salad was not very popular. I realized as I loaded the car, that taking something made with mayo on a 90 degree day was probably NOT a wise decision. Most of it was thrown away.
-
I loved the story of the Vixter's wedding dress....and of course enjoyed the photos on Facebook.
I guess DR VIXMOM will now have to be known as Mrs. Gotrocks since she is expanding her jewelry collection.
-
My sister Paula & I at said reunion.

Good morning, all!

I am entering the month of July with no work lined up, and it frightens me.

I hope to spend the day pulling books and working on my book of Annabelle and Thatch stories. We'll see of anmy fresh hell changes those plans.

Good morning, all.

Yearly checkup vibes for DR Jrand68.

It can't be July now. It just can't be.

T.O.D.
I've always had a special affection for Robert Mitchum's THE BALLAD OF THUNDER ROAD.
In fact, at my wedding reception, they played it as our exit music.
-
On that note, my wife gets home today after spending 10 days in Los Angeles.
:) :) :) :) :)
-
Good morning!

I got back from NYC yesterday. It was a busy week.
-
We saw over 20 theatres (mostly current or former movie theatres). I think the highlight for me was the Loew's Kings in Brooklyn. I loved the wood in the huge lobby.
-
We went to the Tenement Museum on Monday. It was really fascinating. There are several tours you can take. We took the Sweat Shop Tour. It was kind of hot the day we took the tour, but there were fans, thank goodness. I would never take the tour when it's in the 90's. I'd like to go back in the fall or winter for some of the other tours, including one about Irish immigrants.
-
Congrats to the Vix Family! Nice photos (and video on Facetime)!
-
I'm so sorry about your fall, DR Ginny! I'm glad you were able to continue your visit.

Bruce mabe your tummy trouble was from the combination of rich mac & cheese plus an apple fritter.

I’m still mulling over Bathtubs Over Broadway. I think I was more than slightly freaked out at the appearance of Jello Biafra as a noted expert on industrials. Hearing him quote certain songs was strange beyond strange. Biafra was the lead singer of and creative genius behind The Dead Kennedys, one of the greatest punk bands of all time. Holiday in Cambodia remains a classic.
I think the first mosh pit I ever got in was when I saw The DKs in concert. A true highlight of that period. I would never stage dive, and that night showed me why. My friend Bill did a backward stage dive, the crowd split and he landed on his head. He wouldn’t let us take him to the ER until after the concert was over.

I'm up, I'm up - only six hours of sleep.
-
I've looked online at various printers, so I have a couple of ideas now - will mosey on over to the bank in about twenty minutes.
-
Bank was quick, went to Staples early, chose what I wanted, purchased, and helper is on her way here now, rather than going to Staples. Thanks to dear reader George for mentioning the Eco Tank printer - I'd seen one a year ago, but apparently they JUST got in the new models two weeks ago and they've fixed certain things - all I know is goodby $120 ink cartridges every three months. The bottles that come with this last two years and then replacements are under twenty bucks.
-
So, waiting for helper to arrive and she'll get it all set up. I did get the four year added warranty because printers have a habit of problems and this enables you to replace the entire cost PLUS tax if anything at all goes awry in the four years - very worth it.
-
Hoping this is all done by 11:45 so I can go eat.
-
Nothing rich today.

That's great, BK! I, and I'm sure MANY people, just hate the idea of the very tiny and very expensive ink cartridges. This should be a game changer in the printer world. ;D

Very nice picture, Jrand!

Perhaps I shall attend again DR JANE....perhaps.
Insurance and healing vibes for DR GINNY.

I shall have to be thinking about a new printer....we shall see....mine is probably about four years old.....

DR George, good news about David.
I know! I might go up this weekend to visit and possibly see a Mariners game. He works at the stadium and can get me in for free. And if he's working during a game, I can get half-priced food!
-
Around 10 this morning, I got a call from my best friend from college, who now lives in London. David was in NYC for the week with friends and he wanted me to meet his actress friend Liz Carr, who's one of the leads on the BBC crime drama, Silent Witness. I joined them for lunch at 1:00 and just got home from a delightful two hours.
-
And today's bad news: that damned check mailed last Monday has still not arrived. I am not happy.
-
Check vibes for Elmore.

Anybody have an excellent pimento cheese recipe?

Most people here have already left.

I’m sending the contractors home.

I should follow my own advice.

Monday evening greetings from HOME!!! We had a smooth drive from Morgantown and even got to the post office to pick up our mail with 5 minutes to spare.
-
Oh! I meant to ask last night: Where did you stay in Morgantown? Just curious. I love the place, but that originates with our family history there.
I also really like the drive from Hagerstown on I-70 and I-68, and I marvel to think that our family was making that drive on the old US 40 during the 1950s.
-
DR ChasSmith, we stayed at a Holiday Inn Express out by the airport. I navigated us on a little drive through town on our way out and even managed to recognize some things from time I spent there between the mid-1960s and mid-1980s.
I also love the drive between Morgantown and Hagerstown. Richard and I have now done it 3 times eastbound, but yesterday was our first westbound drive.
-

This will likely be the next printer we purchase, hopefully not for a good while yet.

I am glad it was much more enjoyable than you expected.

That certainly makes it worth the trip, aside from supporting him.

:o >:(
-
Really good plate of tacos al pastor with nopales (strips of cactus sautéed with tomatoes), borracho beans, rice, an ice cold beer and a hot green sauce.
-
DR elmore I am glad you had a delightful afternoon instead of sitting at home waiting for the check not to arrive.
-
Check vibes for Elmore.
DITTO!
-
Anybody have an excellent pimento cheese recipe?
No way-lol
-
It's good to hear that you and Richard are home, DR Ginny!
-
I went to Costco. For the first time ever, and I’ve been a member for more than 15 years, there were no fresh blueberries. They were the reason I went.
-

Welcome home.
-
My galette will now have bing cherries and raspberries.
-
One advantage of having an excellent postman is that we can comfortably have all of the mail delivered the day we return. It helps having nice indoor mail boxes. If there is too much mail he simply puts it into a larger box for packages & leaves the key in our mailbox.
-

What! I hope your membership is free.

I like the large bags of walnuts.

Thanks, DR KevinH - Our dinner with you was a real highlight of our trip!

A Costco membership isn't free.
-
I like the large bags of walnuts.
I bought one of those. And a large bag of almonds.
-
I also bought most of the ingredients to make the pimento cheese with. The red peppers have roasted. I'm just waiting for them to cool down in their paper sack.
-
I thought you'd want to know.

It is if someone else pays for it ;)

I rarely eat whole almonds, mostly I toast slivered almonds.

A body has been found in the river. The rescue boat is out there now. A neighbor suspects they are waiting for the police to arrive before it is pulled out. I have feared the missing man was in the river as his bike was found near the beach :(

After getting everything set up with the printer, I then went and picked up one package, my new debit card, and then went to Jerry's and had a lean pastrami sky-high on rye with cole slaw and 1,000 Island dressing - all good. Robert Yacko texted me and told me he was heading to Jerry's and would I meet him - I told him I was already there - so he came and we had a nice chat. Then I came home (it was already five by then), got the news that Jenna has to drop out of the August show (she recently had some surgery to do with her sinus and I told her I didn't think she'd be ready by August, but she and her doctor assured me she would - and of course now the doctor changes the tune). So, I'm madly trying to replace her.
-
Learned a new verb tonight: Gentle, which means to make gentler. He gentled the wild horse. Very strange. Seems awkward.
-
Starting to watch The Mustang, a film about a prisoner who's tasked with gentling a wild mustang. Matthias Schoenaerts is the star with Connie Bailey and Bruce Dern in the supporting cast.

That does. I remember when a former co-worker started using "source" as a verb: "I have to source these titles." ::) I'm sure that she didn't invent the use, but it's certainly become prevalent in library circles.
-
And on that note (F-natural), I'm off to my parents' house. The wireless headphones that I ordered for my dad arrived today, and I'm going over there to hook them up to his TV. Then, my mom will make me dinner. :)
Be back later.

I'm going to try to get used to that one. It sounds like it could be soothing.

Imagine the wretched lyrics one could create with it:
I tried to gentle her spirit
With a six-pack of beer, it
wasn't easy.

Gratuitous post No. 100!

Well, the headphones are a success!
-
They hooked up to my dad's TV very easily and they have pretty good sound.
-
Now, he doesn't have to turn up the volume so loud that it "shakes the house"...as my mom says.
-
My mom made me a hamburger for dinner.
-
It was pretty darned good.
-
She had also purchased some frozen Red Robin steak fries from a grocery store.
-
I didn't know that you could buy them in a store.
-
She made them a little before I got there, so that by the time I ate, they weren't as fresh as they could've been.

::)

Good evening.
-
Hi, George.
-
I dozed thru most of the evening.
-
I even slept through most of AMERICAN NINJA WARRIORS.
-
Which happens to be my favorite summer show.

Let’s get off this page.

Hi, Tom.

So, with all the talk about the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, I can't believe that I didn't remember this earlier.
-
The one time I went to New York, I and friends that I was with walked by the Stonewall Inn!
-
And I got a couple of pictures!
-
Here's the neon sign in the window:
-
And here's the plaque on the building:
-
And then I found my pictures from the one time I went to London!
-
We went to see Kiss Me, Kate! with the World's Sexiest Man Alive, Brent Barrett, and Marin Mazzie!
-
Do you still have them?
-
Here's that marquee:
-
Do you still have them?
Never mind.
-
Now, the time stamp says '93, but I didn't know how to fix that. These pictures are from December 2001, and the Stonewall pictures are from December 1995.
-
Here's Nancy Anderson, who played Lois Lane:
-
Here's that marquee:
But it doesn’t say “the world’s sexiest man alive.”
-
Here's Michael Berresse, who played Bill Calhoun/Lucentio:
-
And here's (the late :( ) Marin Mazzie:
-
No picture of Brent?
-
Brent Barrett never came to the stage door, so I didn't get a picture of him. :'(
-
But, I had totally forgotten that I had two pictures of a marquee that was being swapped out. Here's one:
-
And here's a not-as-good picture from a different angle:

Today (July 2) is Jarrod Emick’s birthday.
