Well, you've read the notes, the notes were a lethargic lump of nothing much, and now it is time for you to post until the lethargic cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: ENHANCE!

~~~Most Excellent Vibes and Xylophones that BK Doesn’t Get Sick!!~~~
-
And in general...
~~~Most Excellent Vibes and Xylophones that NO ONE Gets Sick!!~~~
-
And now, I need to go to sleep. I have no plans today (after I wake up) except to maybe do some laundry and some work from work. I brought my work laptop home so that I can make up a little time because I left early to play cards with my mom and her friends. I only have to pay the credit card that I use and fill out my time sheet, and download bibliographic records from OCLC (Ginny probably knows what that is ;) ).
Have a good day, all!
-
Thanks Tom, George, and Bruce.
-
~~~Most Excellent Vibes and Xylophones that BK Doesn’t Get Sick!!~~~
Ditto.
-
And mega vibes Joe Biden truly does not have the virus!
-
Good morning, all!
-
Yesterday the cats got a cat cave, so they spent some time checking it out. Annabelle and Stella monopolized it for the first hour. I spent the night watching CNN, but I saw Thatch trying several times to decide if he should climb in or not.
-
Some nitwit Trumper posted on Facebook that the Democrats must have poisoned Trump's mic to make him sick. I continue to think, is this poetic justice incarnate or is this administration wagging the dog?
-
I am stepping out today for lunch with Joshie and two friends as a late birthday celebration. We are meeting at 12:30 at Nice Matin, 79th and Amsterdam, three blocks from my apartment. Around noon I will head out on my walker.
-
This is my first social event since March.
-
DR Matthew, I hope your move goes well.
-
I've done the kitty cleanup and made the bed. I want to preserve my energy for the walk to and from lunch, so I have no plans to accomplish much more today.
-
Tomorrow, though, I do need to do some cleaning in the bathroom in the litter box-litter mat area.
-
When it's hot, I would rather be ENHANCE than out of doors.
-
Stay well vibes for MR BK.
-
Recovery vibes for DR JANE's second cousin via marriage....or maybe it's her first cousin once removed via marriage.
-
I think I would like one of those kitty caves for me DR ELMORE.
Have fun socializing!
-
Today is the drive by shooting....er......I mean Shower.....this is the first time I have participated in either of those activities.
-
Well - some people keep shooting themselves in the foot. Theatre Drama story to follow......
Our 60th season is next year (fingers crossed) - we kept ONE of the shows from this canceled season 'You Can't Take It With You' because it is popular with our audiences and a great opportunity for a LARGE cast and lots of folks to participate.
We jettisoned the other three.
The one Off-Board Director who was to direct the August musical about a princess and a pea....was told.....although we weren't going to mention it until the official announcement later this month.
He exploded and said some very hurtful things to other folks (they were all in that DREAM at the Park). He accused us of purposely not doing HIS show because he had it all planned, etc. Of course he had also precast the lead. All summer both of them on their Facebook pages lamented the fact that they weren't going to get to provide audiences with the best entertainment that had ever been presented at said theater EVER!!!
Of course said precast "actress" was the one who had quit the "Flowers" play last year and is married to one of the goofs that caused all of that trouble last year.
He had at first decided he was coming to the annual meeting and nominated himself to be a member of the board so he could "clean this place up." I would have handed him a broom.
He has now stated that he wants to attend our regular board meeting - following the annual meeting - and present his case for us including "his" musical on the program......
I like it better when the drama is onstage....ALL onstage.
The End.
-
I learned via yesterday's posts that today is Octopus 3.
-
I am going to watch the Netflix Boys In The Band programme some time today.....we shall see.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Had a pretty decent sleep, much unlike the past couple of nights.
Now I’m enjoying the aroma of bacon cooking as I begin to contemplate my day.
-
T.O.D.
I'm almost 80, and you expect me to remember what soda pops I liked as a kid!?!
???
Coke and orange sodas come to mind.
:D
-
Yesterday, I finished the first draft of the 32nd play in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS collection.
This one is about an actor who was a good friend for over 30 years.
-
TOD
I remember, all too well...
Coca-Cola. The Real Thing. My favorite as a kid, and my favorite now. My parents never bought it frequently enough to satisfy me, which probably contributed to my indulgences as an adult. But I don’t indulge in the regular drink so much as Coke Zero which is the only diet version to capture the taste of the original formula. For the likes of moi, that has been a godsend, following several years of drinking Diet Coke. When I REALLY want to indulge, I get the bottles (yes, glass bottles) from Mexico with the true original formula using sugar cane and not high fructose corn syrup. Anyway, however you slice it, Coke is my #1.
Vernors Ginger Ale was a VERY special treat as a kid, and I have no idea why we had it so infrequently. Following childhood, I have a few very nice associations with it in Cleveland and in Michigan during college years. It never stopped being a Midwestern thing, and I pick some up on every drive into Ohio or West Virginia. No glass bottles today, I don’t think, but I know that as of a few years ago they were offering it in plastic bottles that you could order.
Pepsi (original, in bottles) is also fine, but it really has to be the original.
When we’d first moved to Florida in 1960 we were getting RC Cola, which I probably wasn’t crazy about then but I’d love to try it now.
A&W Root Beer — at their drive-ins, in the frosty glass mugs. (We had other root beers at home, which was never the same.) Also, the Birch Beer served at the Royal Castle chain in Florida, also in the glass mugs.
We also usually had 7-Up and, later, other such things as Sprite, but I never thrilled to the lemon and lime stuff like I did the colas.
-
I also never gravitated toward the Dr. Brown type of sodas asa rule, but that Diet Cherry these days is wonderful. I just never think to get that, but I will now.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Two!
-
I am not a fan of the musical Dear ENHANCE.
-
Vibes for all who need them.
-
I should not drink soda because of my diabetes, but every once in a while, maybe two or three times a year ...
When I was a kid, Canada Dry offered Wink, grapefruit soda that was a perfect blend of sweetness and tartness. Loved it. After they discontinued it, I tried the others, such as diet Fresca and Squirt, but they were too sweet or chemical tasting. Then, at a neighbor Taco truck, I found Mexican Fresca made with sugar. It was like finding an old friend. I can’t visit that place for a sit-down meal without getting one. So, I do takeout more nowadays.
-
I remember Wink. I liked it, too.
At home in Ohio, our fridge was always stocked with Coca Cola and Pepsi. My mother preferred Pepsi, but our family doctor recommended Coke to settle our stomachs.
In my Paternal grandmother's Appalachian territory, the cola that was sold was R.C., and I always felt it was an unreasonable facsimile of Coke.
Besides A&W Root Beer, we also drank Barq's Root Beer and Cream Soda.
-
I am waiting on my neighbor Ann to show up. She and Jen have been in Boston for the last week and I am holding packages for them.
-
We had a root beer called Dad’s or My Dad’s (too lazy to look it up).
Yes, the RC was no doubt inferior, as were all of the imitations. Remember HoJo Cola? But RC developed a real following which is why I’m curious to taste it again. Not sure, but I think it’s still available. Somewhere.
Remembered another high school era favorite: Mountain Dew!
-
DR Elmore, have a wonderful visit and meal out with Joshie & Co.!
-
DR Jrand70, has that director ever tried to convince the board that a Mr. Guffman has shown interest in attending, if only they would accede to his production requirements?
-
TOD: we rarely had any soda in the house; it was reserved as a special treat. Don't remember what kind, but probably Coca-Cola.
Does anyone remember those tablets you used to put in a glass of water to make fizzy "soda"?
-
Oh yes, we've got trouble. Terrible, terrible trouble. At the Playhouse.
~~~RESOLUTION VIBES~~~ for DR Jrand70.
-
Intriguing news about DR elmore3003's Cat Cave.
I agree with DR Jrand70 - I want one for myself. Of appropriate size.
-
At college we had something close; they were called "womb" chairs. A perfect sphere on a pedestal which rotated, with a partial cut-out to climb into. They were popular and almost always occupied. They were positioned along a window bank on the second floor of the library to look out over the quad.
-
Thus: (only $2,000 from Wayfair)
-
~~~OUTING VIBES~~~ for DR elmore3003!

~~~SURGERY RECOVERY VIBES~~~ for the son of DH Keith's cousin!
I am sure you were so relieved, DR Jane, to get the news.
-
~~~MOST EXCELLENT VIBES & XYLOPHONES FOR STAYING WELL~~~ for our very own bk!
-
Nothing on the docket for us today. Call me a coward, but I am extremely reticent (yes, reticent) to leave the house for anything other than urgent errands, like buying food. I read DR John G.'s account of ushering, and know that I couldn't do anything like that.
Of course, we're both also in higher-risk categories: overweight, diabetes, older. So there's that.
-

It took some internal coaxing. Apparently close to 40% of the theater's volunteer base has not returned.

Since moving to the Midwest, I have discovered (and quite enjoyed) Vernor's ginger ale.
-
Today's epic: Ben-Hur. I figure I could get some cleaning done while the movie plays. Plus, I haven't seen it since I read the book about 20 years ago. In fact, the last time I saw it was at some restaurant in Antigua, Guatemala, where it was showing on Easter eve. Dubbed in Spanish.
-
I thought I was all set to make my whiskey nut cake for the holidays. Then I found the recipe. So much work, but the effort is well worth it.
The big detail I had forgotten is that it bakes for 3 hours at 250 degrees. But then, I can wrap it in cheesecloth and marinate it in bourbon for several months before cutting into it. Delicious.
-

Ale-8-One is a ginger ale made in Kentucky that has become a bit of a cult drink in the past few years. It's now used in salsa and barbecue sauce, I think, among other things. I got Mom one when her stomach wasn't too good and stole a taste. Good. Too sweet and not gingery enough, but it worked on her stomach.

Many people don't know about the ignominious sequel: Ben-Him.

It has a pound of chopped nuts and 3 pounds of dried fruit in it. I'm using dried strawberries, cherries, apricots and pears. I may add cranberries, if I pick them up.

Yes! Fizzies!

My neighbor Ann came by and got her packages. She has decided she will walk with me to Nice Matin, and I'm frankly glad to have the company.
-
Page 3 Dance!
-
TOD:
LOL DR DRUXY!
The first I remember is Nehi.....because of the cactus on the bottle. I liked the orange and grape flavors the best..
THEN I went for Seven-Up. Vernor's is always fun!
I drank TAB for awhile - now if I want a soda, I drink a Diet Pepsi.
-
I think the sequel to Ben-Hur is Ben-Hum.....sister of Spanish beauty Ben-Hue.
-
Saturday afternoon greetings! It's World Cardmaking Day, so I will spend some time in my craft corner to celebrate.
-
I highly approve, DR Ginny.
-
I am wondering if DR John G. would be willing to share his top-secret special recipe?
-
This is how I imagine DR elmore3003's sleeping arrangements, in my mind's eye...
-
I'm up, I'm up - somewhere between seven and eight hours of sleep.
-
Good Morning - the boys and I stayed in bed as long as we could. First day in a while where we didn't have to set an alarm.
Thanks for the moving vibes. My lease is up at the end of November (!) - and I can't break it early without mega penalties. It'll be here before I know it.
Also, the little girl next door as required a recorder - and no direction. Yeah.... I'm so outa here ASAP!
-

For the whiskey nut cake? Certainly. It's one of Mom's.
-
The chariot race is over. It's the only part of this movie that's of any interest anymore. It is thrilling. The acting is abysmal. Stephen Boyd should have stuck to singing to elephants and Doris Day.
-
Ben-Cis beat out North by Northwest and Rio Bravo for best picture. Seems odd in hindsight. But portentous has always had an appeal to Academy voters.
-
Helper's mom has come and gone. I went to the garage to see if I could find the CD for The Lives of Others - nope. No L's at all, so they're in a box somewhere - really irritating.
-
This is how I imagine DR elmore3003's sleeping arrangements, in my mind's eye...
It's more like a cat sandwich with me squeezed in the middle.
-
And I am home from a lovely brunch. I had a mimosa, bagel and lox. Joshie and John Bell had California omelettes, and Michael Gildin, whom DR Laura met during his Fiddler on the Roof tour, had a gruyere omelette. The company was delightful, and it was wonderful to see such good friends after so long a time.
-
I love the movie, The Lives of Others. The first time I watched it, I had to watch it again the next day. It was that affecting. I eventually bought a copy, which I have yet to watch. Maybe this week.
-

That happens with my boys as well. Certainly makes one feel loved - wouldn't have it any other way. :-)

Recovery vibes for DR JANE's second cousin via marriage....or maybe it's her first cousin once removed via marriage.
I am too tired to sort it out and Keith is engrossed in the news to bother him. He knows. But thank you. I was glad to stay up last night and wait for the news. What a long day his father had and I know he appreciated it. I didn't tell him Keith was asleep-lol
-
I was wide awake ALL night. Around 6:30 this morning I took a two hour nap.
-
Well - some people keep shooting themselves in the foot. Theatre Drama story to follow......
Oh my.

~~~SURGERY RECOVERY VIBES~~~ for the son of DH Keith's cousin!

I was thank you. Now we wait for the lab reports and the doctor's recommendations. I am sure you, and others here, can identify with that wait.

Since moving to the Midwest, I have discovered (and quite enjoyed) Vernor's ginger ale.
Our second home in Michigan was across the street and down a couple of homes from a beautiful home once owned by a Vernor family member. I do not like Vernor's at all. Once in awhile I will have Canada Dry.

Why I drink Canada Dry or 7-Up. Just a sip or two at a time.

The drive by shower was most excellent!
We drove right there.....several cars were parked and folks were walking about.....so we got out.
It was so nice to see my baby brother and his wife and nephew Grant and his wife Lynsie.....they are all so happy. Lynsie's mom and sister did the decorations.....a very nice gift table....and BIG sign that said Grayson Wayne - the baby's name....
Balloons and streamers.....not TOO much....it was just right.
I asked Grant where he got the name and he pointed to his shirt that had a lot of Batman logos on it.....and I said oh.....Dick Grayson and Bruce Wayne.....and he said YES.
I guess I am the only one besides his brother Garrett who had made the connection....LOL

DR Jrand I am glad the drive by shower was most excellent.

Thus far today, we've watched 2 movies on DVD:
THE PRISONER OF ZENDA (Stewart Granger version)
BULLET OVER BROADWAY (directed by Woody Allen)

Up from a nap. Started a short documentary on Bob Wills called Fiddlin' Man. The music clips are excellent, and the talking heads are endearing. There are quite a few guys who played with the Texas Playboys over the years. They're not refined or overpolished, like too many folks in documentaries today.
-
What a coincidence - I'm up from a nap, too!
-
Our apartment building has a shelf in the shared garage where you can discard stuff that others may want. I was leaving some stuff there the other night and found an unopened bottle of "diet" apple juice. I brought it up, wiped it down, and stuck it in the refrigerator. Well, I just tried a glass. What vile stuff!
-
Here is a photo of the facade of the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Saint Paul, MN. Opened in 1985:
-
I was trying to also post a photo of a painting I have of the same facade, but with patrons arriving on a snowy winter's night via horse-drawn carriage.
But I can't get it small enough for HHW to accept, even using Jrand70's photo resizer.

For Banned Books Week, I'm reading a YA novel called Speak, which gets challenged because it's about a girl who gets raped at a party. Think about that. We would rather cover these incidents up than deal with the fact that sexual assault happens to 20% of women.

Good afternoon.

I'm glad you got to see Michael today, Elmore. I was just thinking about him and wondered how he's doing.
I think Fiddler was the last show we saw at Gammage -- back in early February when we didn't have a care in the world.
-
I remember drinking Hawaiian Punch as a kid. Dad had 7-Up for his highball after work.
-
I spent another couple of hours removing dead shrubs today. This summer was so hard on plants. We lost so many.
-
I hope by February it will be safe to go back. I know you have friends who need cookies who will be touring with My Fair Lady.

The first question a librarian asks when someone challenges a book is, "Have you read it? All the way through?" The answer is usually NO.

Hot dogs were good. Watched two movies and am finished with my viewing.

I had planned to watch something good tonight, and was all rarin’ to go — when, in browsing through the movie shelves, I ended up cleaning up and reorganizing some things and never got to the watching part. And that turned out to be just as satisfying.

Funny you should ask! I think I may have found a place today. In my price range, good area, nice sized apartment, etc.... application will go in Monday.
Well done! Vibes you're approved.
Do most apartments in your area take dogs?

Hello, Sasha! You are lovely!
I once had a dog I named Pasha. She was a mixed black Lab and a very nice dog.

The redo of The Cotton Club just came out a few months ago - that's not what he has.

Back from a quick Gelson's run.

Having some honeydew
-
I agree wholeheartedly with BK about the lethargy. Ugh! It's starting to cool down here, but much more slowly than forecast. Our air quality is still unhealthy, too. And how can one not react emotionally to all the news events this past week?
-
Honeydew sounds good.
-
Good night.
-
Honeydew is really hitting the spot. I did cool the house down while at Gelson's. Listening to the symphonies of Henri Sauget - very good and interesting composer. The second symphony seems to have been playing for HOURS and yet I'm only 33-minutes into its 49-minute first half. The second half is 39-minutes.

For Banned Books Week, I'm reading a YA novel called Speak, which gets challenged because it's about a girl who gets raped at a party. Think about that. We would rather cover these incidents up than deal with the fact that sexual assault happens to 20% of women.
That was an excellent book. I think parent's wanting it banned should read it.
The first question a librarian asks when someone challenges a book is, "Have you read it? All the way through?" The answer is usually NO.

I had planned to watch something good tonight, and was all rarin’ to go — when, in browsing through the movie shelves, I ended up cleaning up and reorganizing some things and never got to the watching part. And that turned out to be just as satisfying.
That's funny.

I asked my brother about the air quality and he was surprised since he was able to jog and play tennis. Normally he is sensitive to unhealthy air.

Thank you for the kind words regarding Sasha. She should be coming home tomorrow after her final check up.
-
Sasha is 13 months old. She is a Domestic Shorthair. I haven’t found out where she came from, but since they know her birthday, I am thinking she may have come from an abandoned litter. She loves head and ear rubs, as I quickly found out during our time together,

Well - some people keep shooting themselves in the foot. Theatre Drama story to follow......
Our 60th season is next year (fingers crossed) - we kept ONE of the shows from this canceled season 'You Can't Take It With You' because it is popular with our audiences and a great opportunity for a LARGE cast and lots of folks to participate.
We jettisoned the other three.
The one Off-Board Director who was to direct the August musical about a princess and a pea....was told.....although we weren't going to mention it until the official announcement later this month.
He exploded and said some very hurtful things to other folks (they were all in that DREAM at the Park). He accused us of purposely not doing HIS show because he had it all planned, etc. Of course he had also precast the lead. All summer both of them on their Facebook pages lamented the fact that they weren't going to get to provide audiences with the best entertainment that had ever been presented at said theater EVER!!!
Of course said precast "actress" was the one who had quit the "Flowers" play last year and is married to one of the goofs that caused all of that trouble last year.
He had at first decided he was coming to the annual meeting and nominated himself to be a member of the board so he could "clean this place up." I would have handed him a broom.
He has now stated that he wants to attend our regular board meeting - following the annual meeting - and present his case for us including "his" musical on the program......
I like it better when the drama is onstage....ALL onstage.
The End.

Hi, Tom.
-
I've been home all day, doing practically nothing except I picked up Neve's ashes! I've been waiting for the vet to call to let me know that they were ready, but they never called me, so I finally called them. They did have them, and now I have them.
-
Here's a picture of the box:
-
And here are her paw prints:
-
I had them use Neve's previous name on the paw prints because I decided that I would give that to her original owner who had had Neve (Nevaeh, which is heaven spelled backwards) for 15 years. She sent me an e-mail and told me that had to give her to her mom because she was having problems and couldn't keep Nevaeh.
-
Then her mom didn't really seem to take care of her as well as she should so Larry, my sister's boyfriend, got her and when he went into the hospital and couldn't take care of her, I got her.
-
Anyway, I didn't expect a big plaque on the box, so it has Nevaeh instead of Neve...which is fine.
-
I'll e-mail Neve's original owner and let her know that if she wants the paw prints, she can have them.
