The radiation treatments are cusing inflammation in my bladder and half of my night is occupied with bathroom breaks. I think if I'd known this going in, I would have opted for the hip replacement and let the cancer kill me in ten years.

I can only imagine the discomfort and inconvenience of the side effects, but I will nevertheless say that I am so glad that you're having the treatments with, I believe, just over two weeks to go? Which probably sounds like an eternity right about now. Strong vibes for your comfort in the meantime, sir!

Today is the centennial anniversary of the 1922 murder of silent screen director William Desmond Taylor...a crime that changed Hollywood forever...and has never (officially) been solved.

My book, MURDER IN BABYLON, provides the solution for this mystery that they still write about.

I made the mistake of going to the WalMart this morning - on the first of the month and the day a Winter Storm Warning was posted.

However I was one of the youngest people there and Smirnoff's Green Apple vodka must taste awful because it was on sale for $5 a bottle.

DR RON PULLIAM I see that one of my favorite shows "The Righteous Gemstones" is filmed in South Carolina.  You should go over there and be an extra or play a bit part.

This is still one of the funniest and on point things I have ever seen on the television machine.

I don't remember if you were still posting here or not at that time, DR Ron, but when Kerry passed away, his partner invited me to come into his home and choose some items to remember him by. Sandra and I chose some paintings and art deco items. I noticed that the Kitchenaid mixer was still in the kitchen. I hesitated to ask for a utilitarian item, but I did speak up and said that I would use it. Dennis said that of course I should take it; he had thought of it earlier, but forgot it until I mentioned it. I use it quite a bit.

DR Ron I just read a story under the headline "The Omicron wave took a much greater toll on Southern California compared to the San Francisco Bay Area, where higher vaccination levels contributed to significantly lower death rates"

Have your friends there mentioned this?

The hospitals have also not run out of space.

I had heard things are getting difficult at our local hospitals.

Finished the Balanchine documentary. Wonderful flick. I really loved seeing footage of these dancers learning a piece when they were younger and then showing the steps to the next generation. They all seemed to have learned their lessons well.

Instead, tonight I watched The Addams Family (1991). which I hadn't seen since it was in theaters.

Tomorrow is the 100th anniversary of the publication of James Joyce’s Ulysses. May be time to reread that one.

I don't remember if you were still posting here or not at that time, DR Ron, but when Kerry passed away, his partner invited me to come into his home and choose some items to remember him by. Sandra and I chose some paintings and art deco items. I noticed that the Kitchenaid mixer was still in the kitchen. I hesitated to ask for a utilitarian item, but I did speak up and said that I would use it. Dennis said that of course I should take it; he had thought of it earlier, but forgot it until I mentioned it. I use it quite a bit.

And that is lovely!  I did not remember the details about his death, but knew he died.  That was the year I retired from County service (July 29), so I was an active participant here.  I know that you were good friends and wondered if your comment today about using a mixer was a nod toward his memory.

Well, I can barely hold my eyes open any longer.  An interesting day, but also with its middling aspects.

Sigh.

Listening to Puccini and I don't care who knows it. Also, eating some pasta with butter and cheese.

Today is the centennial anniversary of the 1922 murder of silent screen director William Desmond Taylor...a crime that changed Hollywood forever...and has never (officially) been solved.

My book, MURDER IN BABYLON, provides the solution for this mystery that they still write about.

https://www.amazon.com/Murder-Babylon-Novel-Based-Fact/dp/1593937822/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1417637368&sr=1-2&keywords=murder+in+babylon


And it is a fantastic book.  I enjoyed it immensely.  I highly recommend it all DR’s.  I have told a great many people about it.

Yes it is the year of the Tiger!  I was born in 1950 - a Tiger Year - so here we are.....it can be a good thing....then again....NOT.

If you birthday this year is evenly divided by 12 you were also born in a year of the Tiger....12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96......

My brother Kent who was born in 1962 was also born in a year of the Tiger.


 I’m confused.  Do you mean that if our age this year is divided by 12, we were born in the year of the tiger? Because I was also born in 50, which is not divisible by 12.  However, I knower I was born in the year of the tiger.

I accomplished all I wanted to do - vacuum, make the bed, kitty cleanup, and recyclables to the basement - by 11:00. At that point my legs said, no more. The severe pain is in my right ankle. So, I lay down with the cats and just got up to answer a few emails.


Larry, I have to ask.  If you know you are going to go back to bed, why do you bother to make your bed?

I’m a tiger, too.

According to this I too am a tiger, however, I have always been told I was a rat.


You are a rat.  And I mean that in the nicest way.

What is the name of the Balanchine documentary?  I am wondering if my former friend is in it?
