Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of beginning a new book, and now it is time for you to post until the beginning cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: REVITALIZE!
-
Great start to the new book, BK!
-
Good morning, friends.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I had another lousy night of sleep. I winterized my bed way too early. Next year I will wait until January. Last night I turned the AC on for several hours.
-
Glad to read that bk's new book is commencing apace.
-
I remember one dream, or bits of it. I was in charge of the music for some institution like a university, and a famous jazz group was coming in to perform. There was serious issue concerning their most famous number, and we were trying to track down their original charts. At one point we had three or four incomplete sets of parts from various times. The group came to perform and we had a measly audience turnout. They had a young singer who sang with them, and she stole several books I owned, so I had to contact the police. The detective was Jesse Martin from Rent and Law & Order. I remember walking into a room and Annabelle was sitting on a shelf inside a cabinet of CDs.
-
BK is writing a new book and I'm rewriting the first chapter of my first book.

Last Christmas I sent Ann and Jen a shipment of fruit from Harry & David. They said the oranges were the best they'd ever had, so I thought I would do it again this year. Last year, the shipment took forever to ship, and it arrived in the middle of January. I knew they were away until Jan. 2, so I thought if I placed the order on Christmas Day, it might ship after Jan. 2. Well, it arrived on Wednesday, and I've been holding onto it in my apartment. I am terrified they will open the carton and find spoiled fruit or the roaches had got into the carton, which has eight air holes on two sides of the box.

DR Jeanne, the $200 was a gift, never a loan.
-
I love these big pharma designer drug ads on television that say "Don't take WonderDrug™ if you're allergic to WonderDrug™.
Duh!

:)
-
I have wanted to try the series Manifest. I think both DR Ron Pulliam and DR TCB have mentioned it.
-
Good morning.
-
I normally sleep with my Alexa unit playing rain sounds all night. I started this a couple of years ago when the local geese began keeping me awake during their mating season. For some reason, the local geese find the yard outside my bedroom window an ideal place to do their courting.
Geese are loud.
At any rate, the rain sounds lulled me riight off to sleep.
Last night, I was having sinus issues, so I began my sojourn into dreamland by sitting in my recliner. I had a blanket over my legs, but it was a tad warm for that. I did dream, but I dreamed I was roasting in an oven. I kicked off the blanket and managed to cool down a bit. Oddly the temperature inside the house has been quite a bit warmer than the temperature outside. It's this warm weather front that had us near 80 degrees yesterday afternoon. Like DR Elmore, I turned my AC on for a couple of hours last night.
Moving along, I slept about four hours in my chair. When I woke up, I realized that I was breathing well enough to use my CPAP, and I went to bed. I was out like a light with the rain sounds playing. But, after about two hours of sleep, I awoke to a sound I'd not heard before. The rain was still going, but there was a whooshing noise I did not recognize. I also noted a blinking light on my Alexa unit. I told Alexa to play my notification and learned there was a wind advisory in effect until this evening. That whooshing noise was strong winds whipping around the end of the house where I sleep.
Once I reconciled what I was hearing, it was rather interesting that the wind complemented the rain sounds. I slept another two hours and am now bright-eyed, straggle-tailed and alert. My bushy-tailed days are long behind me.
-
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
-
Good morning, all.
-
The winds came in last night so strong that I had to get up, go out and take down the large set of chimes, which were banging against the house.
-
It’s now 29 degrees outside. When I went out, it was 66.
-

I think you will find it worth your while.
-

Our current temperature is 69 degrees. That will be our high. Temps are expected todrop to 42 by tonight.
Unusual weather we're having, ain't it!

Today is Sunday, January 2nd in Johnston SC.
Ain't a dang thing going on down here today.
It's almost like a free day, what with yesterday feeling like Sunday all day.
-
Ooh! Ooh! I just remembered. I have a Zoom chat slated for this afternoon.
We shall see.
-
Good morning.
-
Elmore, your oranges should be just fine. The box is sealed. Oranges are in season now, so they haven't had time to spoil.
-
I had a baking accident yesterday.
-
I'm failing a lot lately.
-
Here's a fun way to start the day:

It's 50 degrees F at the moment. Tomorrow, the low 30s.
-
Good morning!

My little Thatch is such a scaredy-cat. He loves to play Floyd Collins, though, so this morning wen I made my bed, I created a cave for him from their kitty blanket. He investigated the opening cautiously and refused to crawl inside. While he dawdled, Annabelle jumped onto the bed, headed straight to the opening and crawled inside. Now his cavern is hers. She'll be there the rest of the day.
-
DR Laura, I also also worry about the apples and pears in the carton and the roaches getting at them.
-
Good morning, all.

What he said.
I am just grateful there's no -- you know -- in the forecast. Except for maybe a teeny tiny bit Friday morning. But that's then and this is now. Right?
-
Today, a large load of laundry and some straightening up around here.
Maybe even, hopefully, I mean there really should be, some sit-down time at the keyboard.
The one with black and white keys.

Happy 2nd day of 2022 to everyone. It's that time of year for my picks of the best recordings of 2021...last week's Broadway Radio Show was the Top Ten Vocalist Recordings and this week's show is my Top Ten Cast Recordings of 2021....so, give it a listen!

There was a dusting of snow on the windshields this morning.....but none on the sidewalks or the streets.
-
Continued book writing vibes for MR BK.
-
I, too, am watching the TZ Marathon but on the Decades Channel instead of SyFy......
"To Serve Man" just started.
-
Listening to Donald's show. I realize I only have one CD in his top 15. Odd year of recordings to match an odd year.
-
I watched the 20th Anniversary Harry Potter (movie) reunion show. It was surprisingly moving. It is sad that Rowling has become the face of anti-trans, however. This is not alluded to in the special, obviously.
-
I just won $1 on one scratch-off and $3 on another.
I've had worse days. Some better ones would be nice.

I just had a lovely email exchange with my middle-school music teacher, who turns 91 today. She was really special, and very formative to me. I am glad I had a chance to tell her this.

I would like to have had such an exchange with my high school choral director who was so outstanding she's still known for her work in South Florida schools in the 1960s. I let too many years go by without making a move on that. She's in her 90s now, and according to a fellow classmate who knew her when I did and who attended a little birthday event in her honor last year, she is lost in dementia.

Not a sports story. But a great story nonetheless.

An interesting social experiment:
“ In Washington DC, at a Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007, a man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, approximately 2000 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
After about four minutes, a middle-aged man noticed that there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds, and then he hurried on to meet his schedule.
About four minutes later, the violinist received his first dollar. A woman threw money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.
At six minutes, a young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.
At ten minutes, a three-year old boy stopped, but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head the whole time. This action was repeated by several other children, but every parent - without exception - forced their children to move on quickly.
At forty-five minutes: The musician played continuously. Only six people stopped and listened for a short while. About twenty gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.
After one hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed and no one applauded. There was no recognition at all.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before, Joshua Bell sold-out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100 each to sit and listen to him play the same music.
This is a true story. Joshua Bell, playing incognito in the D.C. Metro Station, was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people’s priorities.
This experiment raised several questions:
In a common-place environment, at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty?
If so, do we stop to appreciate it?
Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?
One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made…
How many other things are we missing as we rush through life?”

Sunday afternoon greetings! I slept until after 9am, which is very late for me. When Richard got up, we had a nice Dutch baby and bacon breakfast. I'm now showered and dressed, puttering in my Momcave with the Bengals game on in the background.

I've spent the past hour closing my 2021 calendar and income files and creating new ones for 2022. Before that I took a Tizanidine and it knocked me out for several hours while Christmas music accompanied my comatose state.
-
Watching One Night in Miami. Excellent acting, especially from Leslie Odom Jr. Competent direction. So, why is it not better? I think the script is just not all that it should be.

From DR Ron:
I miss the Bay Area a great deal.
It would be prohibitively expensive to live there on my retirement.
That is the reason we left Tiburon.

DR TCB do you have power? How hard is the wind blowing?

I liked your story.

I worried a great deal about retirement and how i would make ends meet. Of course, coming back to SC was a no-brainer because my mother's house was in my name, so I would have no rent. We were sharing expenses.
But...my fears were way overblown. My retirement works very nicely down here.

You had a "Dutch baby and bacon breakfast"? I'm sure that's more innocent that it seems on face value?

My Sunday afternoon Zoom chat is done.
-
I'm up, I'm up - maybe six hours of sleep, maybe less.

Up from a nap. Let’s see if I can finish One Night in Miami.

I am glad it is working nicely, as well as having the time to settle in and spend time with your mother before you lost her.

We had a very nice video chat with Craig. Poor guy had been rather sick from his booster shot.

A Dutch baby is an eggy popover-type pancake that you bake in a cast iron skillet. It was delicious.

DR Ginny the descriptions for the two are a bit different (see below). I think an apple filling on the Dutch Baby would be good.
"The Dutch Baby, an air filled delight oven baked to golden perfection and served with lemon, whipped butter and powdered sugar to create a mouthwatering blend.
the Apple Pancake, a single large pancake smothered with sautéed apples and cinnamon sugar baked to perfection, to create a deliciously rich cinnamon sugar glaze."

Not this time.

I got up early this morning and made another one.
-
Yesterday I recorded the making of the Cherpumple layers and was planning on recording the construction today. I was going to do it while the people were in church, before the kids were sent to the nursery. I hadn't counted on someone making their soup in the kitchen during the church service. So I didn't get to record it.

Yes, I know it was weird. But I was inspired to record it after DR Matthew recorded the construction of the piecaken.

I forgot to tak my blood pressure last night, and I guess it really screwed me up.

I checked James Ivory's Heat and Dust out of the library because I haven't seen it in maybe 25 years. Surprised to find that there's a second film with it, Ivory's Autobiography of a Princess, with James Mason and Madhur Jaffrey. Will watch that first.
-
I’m sorry, you’re not feeling well, Tom.

DR TCB do you have power? How hard is the wind blowing?
Yes, we do. The power wouldn’t dare go out during the Seahawks game. So far, it doesn’t look too windy.

They are. The older me finds the Apple Pancake a bit too much. I doubt a Dutch Baby would need this much filling.
-
Did a LOT of futzing and finessing - still feeling my way, as is always the case with a new book. Then wrote two new pages. Now I'll mosey on over to the mail place, then figure out food, then come home and write at least ten more pages if not more.

I just read that pannettone in Italy is considered, by some, the equivalent of fruit cake in America. The one time I tried pannettone, I kinda liked it.

I am really enjoying Heat and Dust this time. Greta Scacchi and Julie Christie are both wonderful.

It was one of his honorable mentions.
Ah. I do like Cinderella, though.

I Googled Julie Christie earlier. Was surprised to read that she's basically given up acting and is doing charity work. Then I read she's almost 80 and I find that hard to believe.
Thanks for the update on her. She was wonderful in everything.

I should not have done it. But after a conversation with a friend earlier, I decided to put on Blue, the first of the Tricoleur trilogy. I haven't watched these movies in ages and can remember nothing of them, except I loved them.
Now I can't stop watching it.

Eight pages so far and time for a little break, after which I'll try to do another eight - that would be a good day's writing, for sure.

I forgot to tak my blood pressure last night, and I guess it really screwed me up.
This should have said that I forgot to take my blood pressure medicine last night.

That makes a lot more sense.

One of the gifts I got for Christmas was the original London cast of Cabaret with Judi Dench. The notes are a reprint from the original album. In it, it says that Joe Masteroff had written a musical called The Warm Peninsula. Is that a mistake? I know he wrote a play called that, but I've never heard of it as a musical. Not that it matter much ...

Wow. No posts in a while.

I tried to read a little.

But I am feeling antsy today.

One more post …

Six!

Good night, all.

Sunday afternoon greetings! I slept until after 9am, which is very late for me. When Richard got up, we had a nice Dutch baby and bacon breakfast. I'm now showered and dressed, puttering in my Momcave with the Bengals game on in the background.
You had a "Dutch baby and bacon breakfast"? I'm sure that's more innocent that it seems on face value?
:D
A Dutch baby is an eggy popover-type pancake that you bake in a cast iron skillet. It was delicious.
I am intrigued. I'll be it was delicious!
-
Good night, all.
Good night. Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite.

DR Ginny the descriptions for the two are a bit different (see below). I think an apple filling on the Dutch Baby would be good.
"The Dutch Baby, an air filled delight oven baked to golden perfection and served with lemon, whipped butter and powdered sugar to create a mouthwatering blend.
the Apple Pancake, a single large pancake smothered with sautéed apples and cinnamon sugar baked to perfection, to create a deliciously rich cinnamon sugar glaze."
Either sounds great!
I would prefer the second one without the sautéed apples, or the pancake.
Just the cinnamon sugar? ;D
No.

I guess it is lucky we are already on page six.

And what has George been doing all night long?

New notes are up.

The old notes are old.

Listening to Bill Evans and I don't care who knows it.
-
You heard it here.
-
Yes, you did.
-
Don't say you didn't.
-
Do not.
-
And what has George been doing all night long?
Burning DVDs/Blu-rays for people.
-
It can be very time consuming...easy to do, but it takes time.
-
And I still have a lot to do.
-
Of course, I don't have to do it now, but I was hoping that it would've taken less time.
