Well, you've read the notes, the notes greeted September with a smile and a laugh and a song, and now it is time for you to post until the September cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: TENACIOUS!
-
Good morning, all!
-
I had a lot of strange dreams last night, the weirdest being one with Patricia Routledge that veered between England and Trenton, Ohio, where we ended up at a farm house eating a meal of burnt veggies.
-
It's a rainy day today, and that's bad for my joints. I think I will attempt laundry.
-
Good morning everyone. And I hope everyone has a great September.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Good morning
-
That is all
-
It's time to think about the laundry now that kitty cleanup is out of the way.
-
Finding Rover, one of the three pet rescue sites where I've registered the cats' microchip numbers, wanted a new photo of Annabelle this morning, so I cropped one of DR ChasSmith's photos and updated all three sites.
-
And so the other two do not accuse me of favoritism, here are the others.
-
We need to get our DR ChasSmith into Manhattan for some more super shots!
-
Good morning, all.
-
Good cropping there, DR Elmore!
-

How exotic such a thing seems right about now.....just the idea of going to visit someone.
-
The laundry is in the washers. When the elevator came up to three, my jerk neighbor, the man with the bike, stepped off, so swathed in mask, gloves, and other paraphernalia I thought he was injured. I can only hope so.
-
In the third grade, I played the part of TENACIOUS in Mr. Brewer's production of Julius Caesar.
-
TOD:
Mr Van Cliburn - about whom we read in our Weekly Reader - was on The Ed Sullivan Show and played Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto in B Flat Minor [or part of it] - and it has been one of my favorite if not my favorite classical pieces ever since......
-
1958 - so I was in the second grade......of school not the military.
-
Not sure if I can name a favorite, but maybe these all were at the time, since they’re the earliest classical music discoveries I can recall this morning and I know I played the records a lot:
Beethoven - Symphony #5
Beethoven - Violin & Piano Sonata (the one in F)
Bach - Toccata and Fugue in D Minor and probably a few other pieces
Handel - Messiah
Haydn - “The Heavens Are Telling” from The Creation (no record, learned it from church choir).
Tchaikovsky - Nutcracker Suite (before I knew about the ballet) and Sleeping Beauty because of the Disney film.
Grofe - Grand Canyon Suite
Van Cliburn might very well have been the first classical performer name I knew, too. Flor Peeters and Dr. Albert Schweitzer, at least in name recognition relating to organ. First known conductor was probably Stokowski because of Fantasia. This gets me up to around age nine or ten, when I discovered Gershwin and then Bernstein and things took off from there.
-
Good morning!
-
Nice kitty photos to start the day.
-
Tonight/tomorrow on the MET Opera stream is Peter Grimes, which I have never seen, only listened to.
I hope they get around to showing Marnie. I also hope they didn't run it earlier and I missed it. Too bad it wasn't included in "20th Century and Beyond" week.
Next week is "French Week".

I believe the Peter Grimes is the dreadful John "I can't direct but people hire me" Doyle production. The Met director is a "flavor of the month" employer. I saw the Met production directed by Tyrone Guthrie back in the 1980s. It was glorious.
-
And the laundry is finished. but not quite put away.

Oy, yes indeed, it's the Doyle. Thank you.

Isn’t TENACIOUS the dog that guards the River Styx?

So I took a few days off from my daily walk because of the terrible air quality -- and I gained a pound. Four miles per day is what I have to do to maintain my overweightedness.
-
Let’s move on...
-
Two!
-

Let’s not go there. Haven’t had a walk in a week
-

When I stay home vs walking I tend to eat more.
-
Though eating continues to be a challenge and makes me sick I am still managing to keep on more weight than I like to have.
-
I'm up, I'm up - six hours of sleep. Guess I'll go hope for the best, line-wise, at the nearby branch - if it's bad I'll head over to Studio City, my branch, which reopened a few weeks ago.

LOL!
-
I had a lie down with Stella and Annabelle, which was nice. It's too humid and warm today to do much else.
-
Back from banking - wasn't too bad today at the local branch - shorter line and in and out in twenty minutes.

On YouTube, there are (were?) two or three other versions of Peter Grimes that were streamed by opera companies due to the quarantining. I was able to capture a couple of them. ;)
-
Nice kitties.
-
I think I need to make pie for the derby.
-
Derby pie.
-
We won't aim for a year between visits to the dermatologist again. Eight months was long enough. The doctor has put us back on a six month schedule. Mostly we just got sprayed, 14 times for Keith & 16 times for me. I had two things removed but have no concerns about the biopsy report. Now anything removed gets checked even if it is obviously benign.
-
Derby pie.
I don't know that I would like Derby pie. I am surprised, unless there is another version I didn't see, that it doesn't include Kentucky whisky.

I'd go with this one: Britten conducting his opera with Peter Pears recreating his original role of Grimes.
-
Picked up a package and shall now order food. Wished there was more Dragon Tattoo to watch - maybe I'll peruse the extras, or maybe I'll run the American version to remind myself how bad it was or maybe I'll watch the shorter version of the original film.

There’s the really bad version of book 4.

It doesn’t have to have bourbon in it.
-
But sometimes it does? I only saw a recipe without. Oops, I left out the important word "bourbon" ;)

It generally does have bourbon. Otherwise, it’s essentially a chocolate-pecan pie. Nothing wrong with that. Just not very Kentuckian.
-
And speaking of operas, Glyndebourne (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwivpipDHAYT-jKVi7rdWJA) just posted their 2011 production of Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noJI-A9BHKc). It'll be available until 5:00pm (but which time zone??) on Sunday 6 September.

Here's a kitty for TCB. He looks a little like Thatch. With short hair.

Odd, the recipes I saw said walnuts and chocolate. I think I found the wrong Derby pie. Your description is what I had expected to find.

Kentucky is not a walnut state, even though they grow here. People here favor pecans because they’re sweeter.

So cute!

I got my haircut.
Now I will recognize myself when I shave in the morning.
I also got four new solar lights for the sidewalk out front. I think only one of the original 10 we got back in 2008 is still burning.
I will get four more the next time I go to Dollar Tree and I will again have a lighted walk.....from the driveway to the porch.
-
Oy! Just when you think it's all quieted down, one of our E&T members is working my last nerve.

I am really looking forward to mine tomorrow.

That Glyndebourne Meistersinger is over four hours long! That's why I really dislike Wagner; he never learned to prune and he was a Nazi.

This is all interesting. My research pulls shows that walnuts are in the original pie though the official recipe is a secret. Others say it is pecans. ;D

Facebook just made me change to the new look again.
-
I know there was a fourth film, made here, with Claire Foy, who I have no interest in and frankly I have no interest in any book written by someone else "in the style of". I read the reviews, that was enough for me. Lisbeth is now a safer, plucky action hero. I will not sully the Swedish trilogy with such tripe :)
-
Dozed off for bit. Ate the turkey sandwich, which was good but didn't really look like a "regular" more like a mini.
-
I am very relieved to know I misunderstood the situation. While my niece is back in her classroom the children are still at home. She has collected stuffed animals. They have each chosen one that will sit in their chair to represent them. Once they can return to school they will get to take their stuffed animal home.
-
Just a friendly reminder to keep track of when you get your flu shot. It takes two weeks to work, and then only lasts six months. Flu season often doesn't end until late April, sometimes even early May.
My point is to be extra careful not to get it this year, which I suspect we all are doing with our precautions not to get covid.

I couldn’t read four or watch the movie. I read five and loathed it.
-
Finished with my viewing and will shortly do the Diet Coke run.
-
Went to the garage to look for the Hitchcock Blu-ray box - can't find it - I can never find what I'm looking for out there, but I know it's there because I put it there last time I had it in the house. But, I did find the other Karl May western that I looked for for two weeks, right there where my eyes had passed over it no matter how many times I looked. I find this frightening.
-
It’s business as usual in my world.
-
Good night, all.
-
Back from the Diet Coke run - went to Ralph's because I knew Gelson's wouldn't have it - Ralph's had plenty and they were on sale three for ten bucks so I got six, which should last me a good while. Got water, too, and then I got some hamburger patties and low-cal buns for tomorrow's food, and tuna and onion rolls for Thursday's food, so I don't have to worry about food until Friday.
-
Listening to music and wondering where have all the Hainsies gone?
-
I will reveal to ONLY you dear readers, that several really fun people will be dropping in during the Kritzerland tenth anniversary show to wish us a happy anniversary, but I shan't be revealing who they are. Meanwhile, we could use some more questions on the question thread - not really understanding what's so hard about asking a question - you ask 'em here, ask 'em there - it's Ask BK Day tomorrow so do it then - I'm sure you might have questions about the Kritzerland shows or anything, really.
-
This page three malarkey at ten CA time is sickening.

I would not read the novel to begin since I doubt Lasrson would have approved. It is such a shame he didn't leave a will.

That's nice.

My dermatologist called in three prescriptions for me today. Since it was a little difficult understanding her through the mask the use of the 3rd script is a mystery to me ;D
-
I suppose the mystery will be solved once they are ready for pickup.
-
Hi, Jane.
-
I have this black and white Hawaiian shirt that has the printed side on the inside so that the officail outside of the shirt is kind of faded because it's the back side of the printing.
-
Hopefully, that makes sense. ::)
-
Anyway, I have a few of those and that seems to be a newish trendy style...having the back side of the printed fabric be on the outside.
-
I like the shirts but I don't really like that kind of style.
-
four!!!!
-
Hopefully, that makes sense. ::)
It does.
-
I like the shirts but I don't really like that kind of style.
That's funny.
-
You can see the differences here. The top part is the "inside" of the shirt, and the bottom is the "outside":
-
So what I did with this shirt and two others was to take off all the labels that are on the inside of the shirt and make it a reversible shirt!
-
I have a lightweight hoodie & the lighter side of the fabric is on the outside. The softer, darker side is on the inside.
-
I can now turn the shirts inside out and they'll have very vibrant colors!
-
Good evening.
-
...or a very vibrant and dark black. :)
-
I think your shirts are nice both ways.
-
Gratuitous Post #100!
-

A reversible shirt :)

Awww. DR TCB do you need a cat that will be ok with your wheelchair?
What does Sandy the cat have to do with my wheelchair?
-
Of course, the buttons and any breast pocket are now on the inside of the shirts, but I just think of those as "design elements." ;)
-
Hi, Tom.
-
Oy! Just when you think it's all quieted down, one of our E&T members is working my last nerve.
Who is that?
-
I think your shirts are nice both ways.
Thanks, Jane! I like that I now have two shirts out of one.
-

Exactly!

Hi, Jane.

Ben Platt is guest host on Kimmel. Isn’t that a rerun?
-
Tomorrow I have to be up early for the fire alarm testing in the morning.
-
I am not a happy camper.
-
We have to be present, in order for them to enter the condo.
-
Tomorrow I have to be up early for the fire alarm testing in the morning.
That's too bad. :P
-
As far as I can tell, all of the units in all of the buildings except mine, have fire alarms just outside the front door.
-
We have no such alarms, except for one in the center hallway of the building.
-
As far as I can tell, all of the units in all of the buildings except mine, have fire alarms jut outside the front door.
WTH?? :o
-
One more post.
-
I'm up, I'm up - oh, wait...
-
Listening to Rossini's Sabat Mater. I don't love it like the Verdi, but it's an excellent performance.
-
I gotta tell you.
-
George has apparently been kidnapped!
-
Where was George - playing Phase 40?
-
Perhaps he's asking a question on Facebook.
-
PAGE FIVE DANCE!!
-
I think some guy just sang a high B-flat. It made my eyes water.
-
Speaking of water, I'm drinking some.
-
I hate when I can't find Blu-rays that I know are probably in plain sight.
-
My newer tablet no longer is able to log into my wi-fi network...it just doesn't give me the option to connect anymore. What is that all about?? :-\
-
I mean, I HATE it.
-
I'll look again tomorrow.
-
I hate when I can't find Blu-rays that I know are probably in plain sight.
I feel your pain!
-
I haven't had too many phlegm issues today.
-
I felt my pain once. My pain wasn't too happy about it, frankly, and slugged me and said, Me, too.
-
And then I wrote...
-
Why I oughta...
-
What is this Sabat Mater malarkey all about.
-
Where in tarnation is page six?
-
It must be somewhere.
-
TCB is here? There? Everywhere?
-

How can that be?
-

???
Early is not nice.
-
Sabat mater, sabat fater, how are things in Camp Granada? Is that right?
-
Where were you when the lights went out?
-
What's so bad about feeling good?
-
My newer tablet no longer is able to log into my wi-fi network...it just doesn't give me the option to connect anymore. What is that all about?? :-\
How can that be?
I have no idea. I got the tablet from an Indiegogo campaign a couple of years ago, and everything was working fine until a couple of weeks ago.
-
I just don't know.
-
I really just don't know.
-
I must go to bed.
-
I wish I knew.
-
I don't know what happened...it just wouldn't connect to my wi-fi, or even the open xfinity wi-fi, but when I took it to my work, it connected to the free wi-fi that the library provides.
-
But I don't.
-
Page six has arrived and in the nick of time.
-
And I'm about to post new notes.
-
I must go to bed.
Good night, Tom.
-
And since it will be Ask BK Day, go ask on Facebook.
-
I has spoken.
-
Do it, do it now.
-
And I'm about to post new notes.
Whew!
-
Good night.

-
Now is the time for all good men.
-
And women.
-
And however people identify these days - too many variations for me to keep up with.
-
Sabat Mater. I just don't know. I wish I did. But I don't.
-
Perhaps someday there will be clarity. Or at least Claire Ittee.
-
Is this Latin they're singing.
-
Perhaps Latin from Manhattan?
-
Perhaps Latin in Satin?
-
Sabat Mater. I just don't know. I wish I did. But I don't.
I've never heard of a Sabat Mater, only Stabat Mater...from when I was in choir.
