Title: ACHY BREAKY ME
Post by: bk on November 05, 2021, 12:10:59 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes were both achy and breaky, and now it is time for you to post until the achy break cows come home.

When I realized that my ride was nowhere on time, I cancelled it, called Joshie and told him that he wouldn't see me this morning. So, he came up to see me and he just left.

Post by: ChasSmith on November 05, 2021, 09:26:23 AM: Actually, I know exactly where it went.

I had a few errands that had to be taken care of, and that's what took the last few hours.

So, with actually not much to show for it, here I am.

I can understand that, but this was above and beyond. They were cheering specific actors, so I'm sure that it was a combo of both that fed off of each other.

Saw "Spencer," the new movie about Princess Diana. I'm surprised at the good reviews.

I saw DIANA, the new musical about the People’s Princess. Ahhh, Judy Kaye is in it.

That was most specific DR ELMORE.

One of may favorite reviews is one that Oscar Levant recorded in his autobiography: "Last night Mr. Levant left his contemporaries and his conductor far behind."

Years ago, my friend, Mike was cast as Henry Higgins in MY FAIR LADY. Mike was married to a woman, very closeted, and he was a teacher in Tacoma Public Schools, that at that time we’re making national headlines for firing gay teachers.

Post by: TCB on November 05, 2021, 11:26:03 PM: This was not a good role for him to play. He was just not a Higgins.
Title: Re: ACHY BREAKY ME
Post by: TCB on November 05, 2021, 11:29:06 PM: The Tacoma reviewer said in his review, “Mike ***** as Higgins, gives new meaning to the song, “why Can’t a Woman Be More Like A Man.”

Post by: TCB on November 05, 2021, 11:35:39 PM: In Las Vegas, I introduced Mike to my close personal friend, Brent Barrett.

Post by: TCB on November 05, 2021, 11:36:22 PM: Mike was most impressed. Brent less so.

Title: Re: ACHY BREAKY ME
Post by: TCB on November 05, 2021, 11:43:48 PM: That set last night, and the use of the turntable, was most impressive.

I was catching up on e-mails and other on-line things.

Downtown Olympia at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts.

Post by: George on November 06, 2021, 12:09:13 AM: So, I've decided to get THIS CAR (https://www.subaru.com/vehicles/impreza/index.html) in the Ocean Blue Pearl color. :)
Title: Re: ACHY BREAKY ME
Post by: George on November 06, 2021, 12:09:57 AM: Now that my mortgage is paid off, I've been looking at what kind of car to get to replace my 1998 Ford Escort.
Title: Re: ACHY BREAKY ME
Post by: George on November 06, 2021, 12:10:20 AM: I had signed up to get information from several car dealers in the area, and a Subaru dealer in Tacoma was the first to tell me that they are going to get a manual transmission car.
Title: Re: ACHY BREAKY ME
Post by: George on November 06, 2021, 12:10:55 AM: I was told that they're getting one manual transmission, and that it's the only manual transmission Subaru expected to be sent to Washington at all by the end of the year!
Title: Re: ACHY BREAKY ME
Post by: George on November 06, 2021, 12:11:37 AM: I wanted a sedan or hatchback (or a "five door" vehicle, as they're called now) with a manual transmission.
Title: Re: ACHY BREAKY ME
Post by: George on November 06, 2021, 12:11:52 AM: I really like driving with a stick shift more than an automatic, so that's what I've been looking for.
Title: Re: ACHY BREAKY ME
Post by: George on November 06, 2021, 12:12:17 AM: So anyway, this particular dealer called on Wednesday and said that they're getting the one in by the 26th of this month, and did I still want it?
Title: Re: ACHY BREAKY ME
Post by: George on November 06, 2021, 12:12:48 AM: The specific model that they're getting will be more than what I was thinking that I wanted to buy, but I don't want to wait too much longer...I really don't know how long my car will hold out. :-\
Title: Re: ACHY BREAKY ME
Post by: George on November 06, 2021, 12:13:02 AM: I'm not putting ANY more money into it, except for gas.
Title: Re: ACHY BREAKY ME
Post by: George on November 06, 2021, 12:13:25 AM: So, I told them to get the ball rolling on holding this for me, and hopefully, I'll actually get it by the end of the month! :D
