Well, you've read the notes, you know why the notes are late, and now it is time for you to post until the tantrum-throwing cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: CACOETHES!
-
BK, umm...today's not Wednesday. ::)
Just sayin'.
-
T.O.D.
How did I miss Tuesday?
-
I just realized today is Tuesday, so I made a topic of discussion. Check it out. Brain lapses are no fun.
-
Good morning, all!
-
Well, I breathed a big sigh of relief this morning. I was terrified on Sunday that I had seriously injured Annabelle when she attacked my printer. Her behavior on Monday made me think I'd struck her head and given her amnesia or concussion: she kept away from me, she looked as though she couldn't focus her eyes, and I spent most of yesterday weeping over my fit of anger. The curious thing was I never aimed the cane anywhere newar her head; IU aimed for te side of the filing cabinet next to her and I feared I mayhave struck her on her lower back.
-
In the last hour she has climbed onto my lap to be held and then sher climbed onto the computer table to be close to me. I think all is now good.
-
DR vixmom, I am happy you are home and I think your plumber should be nominated for sainthood.
-
DR TCB, I was happy to read your health update.
-
Access-a-Ride due at 11:05 this morning. We'll see.
-
No posts in 75 minutes? Where are DRs RonPulliam and Slingshot this morning?
-
Good morning, all.
-
Oh, my. There's much to respond to this morning.
-
Vixmom!
Oh my GAWD.
We've been through much with this house (including one (1) frozen pipe incident ... which caused me the loss of a laptop PC, but no more than that ... but I digress).
But but but... yes, this rapidly grew into something you're not going to handle yourself. It's time to let the insurance company take over. At the same time, what a disruption to .. um, life, peace of mind, all that stuff.
-
Are we sure that Mercury has completely left the building?
-
DR Elmore, I have known that terrible feeling and the fear that I might have brought harm to one of the cats. There's nothing worse. Give that girl lots of love. Which of course you will do, but sometimes one has to say it anyway.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Good sleep but I don’t want to stir.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
Just finished catching up. My word, DR vixmom. Your stories are always so compelling. If costly. Glad you (and the house) survived.
-
DR TCB - thanks for the health update. ~~~CONTINUED HEALING VIBES~~~ to you!!!!
-
Glad, also, to read that all appears to be well with Annabelle.
-
:)
-
And, also...
-
TOD: Not sure; I typically don't watch action movies.
But, a question: are James Bond films considered action films?
-
John Williams is 90 today.
-
No posts in 75 minutes? Where are DRs RonPulliam and Slingshot this morning?
Blissfully in my bed asleep until 9:15 a.m. I got 10-plus hours of sleep, and I am delirious about it.
-
Happy Birthday, John Williams!
-
For some odd reason, I still feel a bit groggy. I daren't get back into bed or half the day will be one. But the cacoethes to do so is strong.
-
I dare you to do better using the word of the day n a sentence!! Double-dog dare you.
-
I done gone and started Page 2, and I am not shouting about it at all!
-
I am talking by myself.
No one else is here, not even a guest.
Drat!

Obligatory meme:
-
Tuesday.....did some shopping and banking.
-
computer vibes for MR BK.
-
Good news from DR TCB.
-
Ride vibes for DR ELMORE.
-
Happy 90th birthday to Indiana's own James Byron Dean.
-
I am agog at the situation DR VIXMOM is in......whew!
-
DR JEANNE this is my favorite version of the song EVER although Mr. Bobby Darin's version is a very very close second. This is not a digital version - it seems to from vinyl.....with all its faults.

Tuesday morning greetings! I have been E & T for no good (or bad) reason. The weekend weather was pretty distracting, though, and I spent quite a bit of physical and emotional energy looking after Richard as he, bit by bit, cleared most of the ice and snow from our driveway. He had some help from our neighbors Mark and Rosemary.
-
DR Vixmom, I'm so sorry to hear about all that's going on in your household.
-
From DR Ron:
That sounds good. I have been jonesing lately for some Häagen-Dazs Coffee Ice Cream.
I had some of that before the candy.
-
From Vixmom:
So using the wonders of the inter webs while driving ( well while Vixdad was driving) I located a local company which would clear our driveway, walkway and front stoop fir the bargain price if $250 payable by credit card
Wow, I am impressed. Even more so that they did a fantastic job.
-
DR Vixmom what a tedious mess with your plumbing woe's, but what a great team of plumber you have.
-
Douglas Trumbull, the effects wizard of 2001, Andromeda Strain, Silent Running, Close Encounters, Star Trek (the first film), and Blade Runner has left this earth at the all too young age of 79.
-
The Oscar nominations are a lot of the same old. Andrew Garfield can get nominated byt not Robin de Jesus.
-
DR TCB good news there has been progress with your ankle. I had to wear something a long time after a hairline fracture of my ankle.
CONTINUED HEALING VIBES!
-
Tom, I know the frustration of not being able to drive. At least I did have people who could drive me when it was important.

DR JANE I forgot to mention how much I enjoyed your parasailing story!
Took my breath away.

DR vixmom: OOFTAH!
When it rains it pours.
imagine how happy you will be when it is all taken care of and you have a new mattress!
-
Now, DR vixmom, please forgive me for asking, but who is in Lumberton, and is this in North Carolina?
My college roommate my freshman year was from Lumberton NC. His name is Forrest Floyd. I have no idea where he is, or if he is, any more. Last time I saw him was graduation in June 1970. But he was a good guy, and Lumberton must have had some responsibility for that.
-
DR JANE I forgot to mention how much I enjoyed your parasailing story!

Mine, too, figuratively...but I could imagine myself not being able to get it back. Hyperventilation!!
-
In the last hour she has climbed onto my lap to be held and then sher climbed onto the computer table to be close to me. I think all is now good.
You likely just scared the tar out of her, and she was shook up about it for a while.
-
Did everyone, or anyone, see Nathan Chen's record-breaking short program at the Olympics last night? His highest score ever.
The free skate is tomorrow night, IIRC.
-
Well, it's just me again. Me and "1 guest", whomever that may be.
-
So sad to be all alone in the world....SNIFF!

I am determined to refrain from shouting today.
It conserves my strength and keeps my blood pressure down.
-
I wish I had some tale to recount of my morning exploits, but all I did was go to Riley's on Main and pick up some lunch. Next, I went to the post office and retrieved a small package from my mail box.
Inside was a box of shower bombs. Yes, you read it her first. Ron Pulliam is going to use a shower bomb in the near future to enhance his showeing experience.
I hope it's worth the words I'm typing to report this to you.
-
This is the store front:
-
As I am sure I have mentioned, Riley's on Main is actually on Calhoun Street, which is our main thoroughfare through town.
Riley's got started in another town on its main street, hence the name.
It is owned by the Asbill family. They also have Asbill's Catering Service which handles many special functions in this area.

Yes, Lumberton NC. Even though--it's true!--I am neither vixmom nor play her on TV. But we've both posted about Lumberton as our "halfway" stop on the way to/from Florida over the years.

My AAR return trip was ear;y, so I was home by 1:30. I'm very happy.
-
This is the store front:
That immediately made me think of the strikingly simple storefronts in Archer City, TX, in my one pilgrimage to the bookstores of Larry McMurtry, may he RIP.
-
The bad news is I think we have a thief in the building. I didn't know that Ann and Jen were away for the weekend, and I saw a package for Ann on either Friday or Saturday. Someone's snatched it.
-
Oh no.
-
It actually amazes me to think of all the years I lived in buildings with common mail/package areas, because to the best of my memory, I never once had a package go missing.
-
Of course nowadays the world has front porch thieves who literally cruise neighborhoods for packages to swipe. That in itself makes me glad this house is so secluded from the street.
-
I'm up, I'm up - seven hours of sleep.
-
Vibes and xylophones to all of us.
-
I believe it's time to banish Mercury from retrograde and vice versa.
-
Oscar noms - was really hoping Emilia Jones would get up, but noooo - we must have the always-nominated Olivia Coleman and Nicole Kidman. The latter is especially infuriating. And I like Javier Bardem but his nomination for that film is a joke. Glad the supporting guy is up for CODA and I think he has a real chance. And it's up for best picture, which is nice, although I find the ten films thing stupid.
-

Unless a neighbor took it in to keep it from being snatched.

I think it's simply pandering to get as many folks interested in watching/following the program as possible.

I know how to keep them from getting out of control. If one got bad today I am sure I would find it frightening when back then it wasn't scary at all.

You are lucky to be able to do that, and to live close enough that on your days off you can easily stop in to collect your packages.

Keyboard player Nick Archer posted this story on Facebook:
One night at the Plymouth Theatre, with PASSION (1994), one of the Clarinetists (either Al Regni or Les Scott) was unable, at the last minute, to get to the theatre for the show. As luck would have it, Jonathan Tunick just happened to be backstage that night and, as even MORE luck would have it, one of the other reed players had a spare clarinet. So, Jonathan played the show that night, with Paul Gemignani conducting. I spoke with Jonathan a few days later about all this and his only comment was referencing Gemignani, saying, "He didn't even throw me a cue!"
Gemignani does not like Jonathan, which is very clear in the Lapine book on Sunday in the Park with George. In 1998, I recommended Jonathan to conduct Jubilee at Carnegie Hall, and Gemignani turned him down. When I told Jonathan, he said, I'm not surprised. Paul only works with me on a show by Steve. He usually works with Brohn or Starobin.
-
Interesting. Very interesting.

I have actually seen a best picture nominee this year. Granted, it was West Side Story. No big surprise. I do have Dune at home.

The Razzie nominations were fun. Sad that Judy Kaye got a nod, but not sorry for Diana the Musical.

I shall probably skip the Academy Awards Programme this year - it was embarrassing last year and I don't think it will be much better this year.....

For some reason seeing the list of nominees just makes me depressed rather than excited.
And Aaron Sorkin wrote an article for Entertainment Weekly defending his RICARDOS script under the headline ACCURACY vs. TRUTH.
He says of course it didn't happen the way it happens in the movie, he wanted to make the week dramatic so he took several years worth of incidents and crowded them in there.....BUT he told the TRUTH about who Lucy & Desi were.....so he's in the clear.
-
I saw Nathan Chen do his routine - it was indeed terrific.
I didn't realize that the program was being broadcast on USA Network and wasted a lot of time watching speed skating and skiing waiting for it......then it scrolled across the bottom of the screen....
I watched almost ALL of the second to last group - then when the final group came on, they switched to the NBC broadcast station where I watched the rest.

The Mercury retrograde has ended - but we do have a Mars-Uranus Trine that may be causing friction today.

DR RON PULLIAM your friend Forest was quite handsome and was a fashion maven it seems.
Newspapers.com seems to say he married a girl name Cindy....was best man at a wedding and lived in Stone Mountain, Georgia, and attended the funeral of his mother in law in 1994 with his wife LAURA and two children. I tagged you in a Facebook post where I posted the pictures of the articles.

I gotta tell you.

Busy little day. Picked up packages, ate pasta of my own making with red sauce and four ounces of meat. Very good, but VERY filling.

And today, after over a year and a half of different annoyances, I signed a contract that has to do with a company that's purchasing my catalog of CD productions from its former "owner." They couldn't make the deal without me because the former "owner" didn't have ANY contracts - I had them. Not all, because I threw out one binder when I moved in here, just because I thought when will I ever need this crap again - but thankfully, there were two other binders and all the contracts were basically the same with minor variations. First it was one company, but that guy just kept asking me to hire people to find this stuff in storage, but not paying for it, so I had to put out that dough, and then never doing the deal. I basically told him I was done and would not go further, but then another company got involved and I liked them and although it's taken eight months, it's finally done. I get paid a little money for all the time and trouble of finding the stuff, but I also will end up owning the Haines His Way album and I'll have the use of all Guy Haines tracks should I care to do a compilation album of his tracks, which I may. Mum's the word, baby.

TCB, someone is starting your car every few weeks and letting it run for 10 minutes, yes?
-
I got my very dirty car washed today, then had my watch repaired. This little watch store is great: $23.23 for both a new battery and a new leather band. I was expecting it to be more. The restaurant next door to the watch store was having Taco Tuesday, so OF COURSE I had to do that! 99 cents per taco, but they're small and EVERYTHING else is a la carte.

Has anyone watched the Australian series Mystery Road. John?
If so, what did you think?

It's 35 degrees and should not be colder tonight. We have a warming trend starting tomorrow, so perhaps the gloomy clouds will also depart and the sun will shine in.

It's not actually bedtime yet, but I'll say goodnight at this point.

Hi Ron!
Yes, Chas is correct, Lumberton is just a stopping point for us. There is a Country Inn &Suites right off exit 20 that is always very clean and comfortable as well as reasonable.
And There is a nice Cracker Barrel right down the road
-
We usually stop there Friday night on the way down and Saturday night on the way home
-
We’ve not heard back from the insurance adjuster
-
I sent her an email on Saturday and yesterday and left voice mails yesterday and today
-
I ushered for Disney Princess tonight. THere were about 1,000 there, many not even four feet high. They were dressed in their princess costumes and had a ball.
I, on the other hand, found too much of the recent stuff to be boring.
-
I did know of two people in the cast, one of whom has worked with BK: Susan Egan. Also in the cast was Annaliese van der Pol. It was interesting that the women were on stage with a supposed piano player. He did sit at a grand piano, though I don't know if he actually played. The music was canned. He also made many fairy jokes and camped it up to a hilt.

Laura "I won't get vaccinated" Osnes was listed in the credits at the end. She was supposed to have been in the cast, but the lack of a vaccine meant she wasn't going to be cast in anything. Still, she was listed as a producer of the show with her company, which I think is called Princess Party. And she also worked on the costumes/wardrobe.

The Razzie nominations were fun. Sad that Judy Kaye got a nod, but not sorry for Diana the Musical.
I thought Judy was channeling Ethel Merman in that show.

TCB, someone is starting your car every few weeks and letting it run for 10 minutes, yes?
Yes, I started it yesterday. Now the problem is cars bring stolen from the parking lot. Yesterday, a car was stolen from in front of my building.

I had a really bad day, today. I am off to bed.

And today, after over a year and a half of different annoyances, I signed a contract that has to do with a company that's purchasing my catalog of CD productions from its former "owner." They couldn't make the deal without me because the former "owner" didn't have ANY contracts - I had them. Not all, because I threw out one binder when I moved in here, just because I thought when will I ever need this crap again - but thankfully, there were two other binders and all the contracts were basically the same with minor variations. First it was one company, but that guy just kept asking me to hire people to find this stuff in storage, but not paying for it, so I had to put out that dough, and then never doing the deal. I basically told him I was done and would not go further, but then another company got involved and I liked them and although it's taken eight months, it's finally done. I get paid a little money for all the time and trouble of finding the stuff, but I also will end up owning the Haines His Way album and I'll have the use of all Guy Haines tracks should I care to do a compilation album of his tracks, which I may. Mum's the word, baby.
That's pretty cool, BK! Congrats!

DR JEANNE this is my favorite version of the song EVER although Mr. Bobby Darin's version is a very very close second. This is not a digital version - it seems to from vinyl.....with all its faults.

Very nice, Jeanne! As is the Gisele MacKenzie version, but I do like the up tempo French version better.
