Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a spotlight, and now it is time for you to post until the spotted cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PHLEGETHON!
-
Good morning, friends.
-
DR vixmom, I am thrilled for your news, on both fronts. Congratulations!!!!!!
I know you will be great, and that they'll be blessed to have you on their team.
And it sounds like you won't have to be driven crazy by dealing with the public at large.
-
Good morning, all!
-
Yay, DR vixmom! I am so happy for your new job and hopefully lucrative encounters qurg the NY State Dept of Labor!
-
I think it's going to be a rainy day so I'm staying in with the Philly Pops work. Tomorrow or Saturday I must needs visit my pharmacy for my meds and a colonoscopy prep kit.
-
I'm too computer ignorant to have any specific complaints about my Mac. I only know that staring at a scree and weeping profusely does no good at all.

Last night we watched the new Criterion release of Original Cast Album: Company, which I caught on its first TV showing nearly fifty years ago. It remains an amazing document, but it means so much more to me now since I knew or worked with so many involved in that amazoing show.
I hate Criterion's display of the extra features, but I did manage to watch the interview with Jonathan Tunick.
-
I think tonight we'll watch the documentary again with the commentary.
-
Good morning, all.

My day started at 4:45 am when I was awakened by a TORNADO WARNING on my phone.
Long story short, we were in the last of a huge tropical (I guess) rainstorm then, but the warning wasn't for us. It was for an area in Westchester County, and I have had that a lot of people lost power in that area.
I am very grateful it was a false alarm, but what a way to start the day.
-
Vixmom, that is incredible news ... and you still have a very nice deposit from NY State to look forward to.
Congratulations, many times over!

Don't get me started. Even if you did get me started, I wouldn't know where to begin in listing things.
I'm three and a half years into using a Mac, and I still get confounded by Apple's way of doing certain things. I have indeed tried using Spotlight a few times, maybe half a dozen times in all, and I think maybe one of those times it actually found what I needed and saved my sorry ASS from engaging in a lengthy manual search.
I had just as many gripes in the Windows world, too. I just haven't used it that much lately. But for my needs, I have to have both now. Neither is the be-all and end-all that its devotees and fanatics would claim.

Looking forward to having this ultimate edition of it, but that won't be till (let me think) ... the next semi-annual Criterion 24-hour flash sale which will be in late October or thereabouts. Or failing that, the next semi-annual Barnes & Noble sale which will be November. I just don't bother buying Criterions at any but those four times per year. I even skipped the July B&N sale this year.
-
Maybe this is answered somewhere in that wealth of material, but did Pennebaker have additional footage that wasn't included in the finished documentary?
If he did, I understand keeping it on the cutting room floor...under normal circumstances.
BUT -- since that documentary series turned out to be a one shot deal, AND given the increasing importance of this episode over the past half century, I wonder if Criterion or anyone else ever made the case that additional bonus footage of that session would be considered critical and worthy of inclusion as supplemental material on the disc.
Maybe this has been asked and answered many times over, and I'm the only one unaware of it.
-
Good morning, all.

I skipped it, too, because of all the DVDs I have to watch. But I will get Company eventually.

What I hate about this Mac is every upgrade further destroys what once was iTunes. In the previous upgrade, I lost all of my playlists, which still burns my ass, and in the upgrade to Catalina - I can upgrade no further on this because of its age - iTunes became "Music" and the layout of the window changed.

Yesterday an idiot young married couple went shopping and left their one-year-old baby locked inside their Mercedes. Rescuers broke a window to save the baby. The couple claimed they were checking on the child every 25 minutes and they were pissed their car window was broken. Some fools should never be parents.
-
I just took the garbage to the basement. It's very warm and muggy outside the Apartment AC. There's no rain, but I'd swear the humidity is 200%.
-
I forgot to post yesterday that I like Cheez-Whiz on celery sticks.
A must on the before dinner plate at smart dinner parties....with martinis.....crunch, slurp, crunch, slurp.
-
Good news from DR VIXMOM.
-
We are back to Act One tonight at rehearsal.

Where did this happen?
Also, wait just a damned minute. Is it even remotely thinkable to leave a child (or a baby???) locked inside a car -- AT ALL? Let alone for not being checked on except at 25-MINUTE INTERVALS?
The more I think about this, the closer my brain gets to es'plodin'.
-
And beyond the heat or other climate/health-related considerations...
What about the possibility of KIDNAPPING? Or vandalism that would in turn be a threat to the child?

I am very much regretting I didn’t pop down to visit the kids while I was free

Oh my goodness! It seems to have, fortunately, passed us by too. We were forecast with rain and thunderstorms but it looks nice and sunny

The couple claimed they were checking on the child every 25 minutes and they were pissed their car window was broken. Some fools should never be parents.
I can’t even imagine ever doing this.
When the Vixter was about 2 I accidentally locked her in and me out of my car.
We had just come out of church and I put my keys and purse down on the seat while securing her in the car seat and then accidentally hit the door lock button as I was closing the door.
Even though the church was directly across the street I just stood outside the car shouting for help until someone saw me and came over.
This was back when we only had one car as well.
-
Fortunately a friend saw me and drove to my house and got the spare keys from Vixdad and brought them back to me
-
But to leave her alone in the car and go seek help? Never!
-
I hope those idiot parents were arrested and that they are put under court supervision at the very least
-
From DR Vixmom:
I knew this attorney had had a very contentious split with a former boss of mine
That speaks well of him.
-
DR Vixmom, a half hour commute to work isn't too bad, except you have been spoiled by your last job.
-
And you already know that the women you will be working with like you :)
-
And you already know that the women you will be working with like you :)
That is a plus, that they apparently advocated for me. In the past I have had uncomfortable situations where I was employed for a position someone else already there wanted and was despised before I set foot in the door.
-
Hi, Vixmom!
-
Good morning.
-
Such great news, Vixmom!
-
I know we had some rain yesterday, although I haven't checked the rain gauge.
I have two now: one inside and one outside.

It was on the local news. It was at amall either around the area or in New Jersey.

Nope! I was rtping "with" one letter off.

Thursday morning greetings! Richard took my car to the AAUW book sale site to deliver the books that we culled from our basement and was home in time for our appointment with Zach, the owner of the company that’s going to pretty up the front of our house. We’re looking forward to seeing the design he comes up with.
-
Congratulations to DR Vixmom on the new job! When do you start?
-
I parked my car in the sun with the windows rolled up one summer and stuck a thermometer in there. It hit 140 degrees pretty quickly.
-
I'm taking an orchestration break. Stella stopped by for a nap and got removed, then Thatch climbed up to play with Daddy, and then he was swiftly requested to gp. I think I wrote about 15 bars of music in the two hours.
-

My car was scheduled for an oil change.....it had taken me from October, 2019, until earlier this month to get the mileage it needed.
When I got to the place this morning, there was only one car ahead of me in my line.....and one next to me....and two up on lifts.....so I figured about an hour or so.
WELL there was a lot of DRAMA at the oil change place.....the boss at a branch in a nearby town needed SOMEONE to come and work at his place.....so everyone was in an uproar trying to decide if someone should go now or later or work all day....and there was general agreement that Bobby at the other place was generally incompetent.
It only took me 45 minutes from parking to leaving....so that's not bad for a 10 minute oil change. And to learn the ins and outs of running an oil changing place....I also listened to the two guys talking about what they needed to order.....etc.
-
And gasoline in my town is now $2.959 per gallon.

I just got a lovely Facebook message from someone I don't know:
Just wanted to say I love your blog which I just recently discovered. I lost my 2 beloved kits (14 year old brothers) this year and I enjoy reading of your adventures! Thank you and keep blogging.
I looked him up. His beautuful tigers were named Yoshi and Ninja. It certainly piques my curiosity to know more about the people who occasionally read my blog.
-
Thanks, DRs Jane and John G! This will certainly enhance our home’s curb appeal.
-
I do hope that DR Ginny and DH Richard are practicing their reaction faces in case there is a HGTV-style reveal that is filmed.
-
LOL, DR Singdaw! We should see a CAD rendering in about a week.

My new Facebook fan told me he found my blog through a comment I had made on a cat rescue site called "Super Heroes In Ripped Jeans!" I see on the stats for my blog that I have readers in China, Korea, Australia (I'm sure it's the long gone DR Tom of Oz), Ireland, England, Germany, and the USA, but I would love to know who some of them are.

I'm up, I'm up - about seven-and-a-half hours of sleep.

DR George I found another interesting article on J&J. Interesting to me is that it suggests a booster might be needed, only to do it as DR Jennifer did, with the similar AstraZeneca, and get an mRNA vaccine.

-
I have friends who are getting their third shots by just going into a pharmacy and mentioning their health issues, like cancer.
-
Then there is the ex-neighbor who went into our local Safeway pharmacy and got a third shot. She had her second one in April and said it as if that was a long time ago ::)
-
Following the 8-month rule, I wouldn't even be eligible for a booster shot until January 2022.
-
Good afternoon!
-
Congrats to DR vixmom! I'm so happy for you!
-
Yes my booster would be in December.
-
Off to rehearsal.
I spoke to the new neighbor lady....in the house behind me. She was sitting on her front porch smokng.
I asked her if anyone was a day sleeper because I was going to mow the lawn tomorrow. She said her son Sebastian was....he usually goes to bed about 11 a.m. because he works 3rd shift in Bloomington - the town where MR BK's publisher is located.
I told her I would finish the backyard before then.....her name is Libby.....

I don't think that Apple design is as good as it used to be. They always had a very consistent user interface, so the skills you learned in one app could easily transfer to another one. That's less true now. Most users, I think, don't want to have to go through another learning curve. Once they're learned how to do something they don't want it to change! I don't think that today's system designers appreciate that.

Had grilled chicken from the place around the corner. It comes with beef fajitas, a sausage, rice, beans, guacamole and pico de gallo, grilled onion and tortillas. A veritable feast that will last me two more days. I had the rice and made tacos with some chicken and the guac.
-
Went to Tom's Burgers with Marshall Harvey. Hadn't been in well over two years. Had their great bacon cheeseburger, which is as close as you can get to Astro Burger without going to Astro Burger. I picked up no packages, then came home and finally finished the commentary. We've added a surprise performer for the Tuesday night Group Rep cabaret performance, so that will be fun.

Last episode of Brokenwood. Another cast member from A Place to Call Home. She played carolyn. She’s now a corpse.
-
She played Carolyn. She’s now a corpse.
That's quite the career trajectory.
-
We watched another episode of the original Upstairs, Downstairs. It's definitely at a slower pace that the television programs made today. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.
-
Your dinner (and the leftovers) sounds scrumptious, DR John G.!
-
The most epic Amazon review EVER!! For Tuscan milk - thank you "Edgar"!
Once upon a mid-day sunny, while I savored Nuts 'N Honey,
With my Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 gal, 128 fl. oz., I swore
As I went on with my lapping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at the icebox door.
'Bad condensor, that,' I muttered, 'vibrating the icebox door -
Only this, and nothing more.'
-
Not to sound like a complainer, but, in an inept half-gainer,
I provoked my bowl to tip and spill its contents on the floor.
Stupefied, I came to muddle over that increasing puddle,
Burgeoning deluge of that which I at present do adore -
Snowy Tuscan wholesomeness exclusively produced offshore -
Purg'ed here for evermore.
And the pool so white and silky, filled me with a sense of milky
Ardor of the type fantastic of a loss not known before,
So that now, to still the throbbing of my heart, while gently sobbing,
I retreated, heading straightway for the tempting icebox door -
Heedless of that pitter-patter tapping at the icebox door -
I resolved to have some more.
Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
'This,' said I, 'requires an extra dram of milk, my favorite pour.'
To the icebox I aspired, motivated to admire
How its avocado pigment complemented my decor.
Then I grasped its woodgrain handle - here I opened wide the door; -
Darkness there, and nothing more.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams of Tuscans I had known before
But the light inside was broken, and the darkness gave no token,
And the only words there spoken were my whispered words, 'No more!'
Coke and beer, some ketchup I set eyes on, and an apple core -
Merely this and nothing more.
Back toward the table turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
'Surely,' said I, 'surely that is something at my window lattice;
Let me see then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore -
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; -
'Tis the wind and nothing more!'
From the window came a stirring, then, with an incessant purring,
Inside stepped a kitten; mannerlessly did she me ignore.
Not the least obeisance made she; not a minute stopped or stayed she;
But, with mien of lord or lady, withdrew to my dining floor -
Pounced upon the pool of Tuscan spreading o'er my dining floor -
Licked, and lapped, and supped some more.
Then this tiny cat beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grand enthusiasm of the countenance she wore,
Toward the mess she showed no pity, 'til I said, 'Well, hello, kitty!'
Sought she me with pretty eyes that seemed to open some rapport.
So I pleaded, 'Tell me, tell me what it is that you implore!'
Quoth the kitten, 'Get some more.'
-
Yes DR JANE & DR JEANNE it was.....I hardly recognized myself.

LOL DR VIXMOM - this is sort of how I imagine things go at the home of DR ELMORE.....and the Kats.

Yes, some of us wouldn't be able to get back to sleep. I turn my phone off when I go to bed. I don't need amber alerts or wrong numbers.
I would think you would want to her a tsunami warning.

Not to sound like a complainer, but, in an inept half-gainer,
I provoked my bowl to tip and spill its contents on the floor.
Stupefied, I came to muddle over that increasing puddle,
Burgeoning deluge of that which I at present do adore -
Snowy Tuscan wholesomeness exclusively produced offshore -
Purg'ed here for evermore.
And the pool so white and silky, filled me with a sense of milky
Ardor of the type fantastic of a loss not known before,
So that now, to still the throbbing of my heart, while gently sobbing,
I retreated, heading straightway for the tempting icebox door -
Heedless of that pitter-patter tapping at the icebox door -
I resolved to have some more.
Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
'This,' said I, 'requires an extra dram of milk, my favorite pour.'
To the icebox I aspired, motivated to admire
How its avocado pigment complemented my decor.
Then I grasped its woodgrain handle - here I opened wide the door; -
Darkness there, and nothing more.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams of Tuscans I had known before
But the light inside was broken, and the darkness gave no token,
And the only words there spoken were my whispered words, 'No more!'
Coke and beer, some ketchup I set eyes on, and an apple core -
Merely this and nothing more.
Back toward the table turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
'Surely,' said I, 'surely that is something at my window lattice;
Let me see then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore -
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; -
'Tis the wind and nothing more!'
From the window came a stirring, then, with an incessant purring,
Inside stepped a kitten; mannerlessly did she me ignore.
Not the least obeisance made she; not a minute stopped or stayed she;
But, with mien of lord or lady, withdrew to my dining floor -
Pounced upon the pool of Tuscan spreading o'er my dining floor -
Licked, and lapped, and supped some more.
Then this tiny cat beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grand enthusiasm of the countenance she wore,
Toward the mess she showed no pity, 'til I said, 'Well, hello, kitty!'
Sought she me with pretty eyes that seemed to open some rapport.
So I pleaded, 'Tell me, tell me what it is that you implore!'
Quoth the kitten, 'Get some more.'
That could have been a dozen posts.

And gasoline in my town is now $2.959 per gallon.
I got 15 cents off per gallon with my Fred Meyer’s card, so I only had to pay $3.55 per gallon.
I have the Fred Meyer's card also, and the most I've gotten is probably 25¢...and that was only ONCE in all the years that I've used it when getting gas. ::)
Mine is a credit card, so I get points all the time.

We have reached the midnight hour.

How can Jimmy Dean be doing sausage commercials, again. He has been Dean for years.

Oh well, it worked for Fred Astaire, so why not Jimmy.

And I guess it isn’t selling out when it is your own company.

I remember hearing/reading that the company he founded and named after himself actually fired him, so if that's true, then they are selling him out. :-\
