Post by: George on February 10, 2022, 01:09:41 AM: Tonight, I'm going to see a local play as an audience member for the first time in more than two years! Olympia Little Theatre is doing the stage version of Clue (http://www.olympialittletheater.org/shows/clueonstage/), based on the movie (which is based on the game) and several friends are in it!

Post by: elmore3003 on February 10, 2022, 04:16:09 AM: Yesterday must rank as one of the absolutely worst and humiliating days of my existence. By the time I was home from Lenox Hill, I wanted nothing more than to crawl into the tub and slit my wrists. No sooner than I walked in the door, Laura, Dr Blacksburg's social worker, called to check on me and talk me down.

Post by: elmore3003 on February 10, 2022, 04:20:08 AM: I fed the cats, ordered Chinese food for dinner, my neighbor Mark, Judy's husband, brought me a slice of banana bread Judy had made, and I had cleaned off my travel bag and thrown my soiled clothing into the hamper.

Title: Re: NOTES: IMPOSSIBLE
Post by: ChasSmith on February 10, 2022, 06:09:57 AM: I didn't go to see any of the Mission: Impossible films until the fourth, Ghost Protocol, which received such accolades for a couple of its sequences that I thought, why not? And in the theater I thought they were pretty breathtaking. I don't actually recall any of the plot now, and I knew then that there were references that I wasn't picking up because I hadn't seen the first three films.

Some months later I thought I'd catch up and I watched the first one. I literally don't remember any of it now. I do remember it was a little hard to get interested in. I've never yet moved on to #2 and #3. By all rights, such movies ought to be good escapist fun, if nothing else. So why are these such a chore, I wonder.

Post by: ChasSmith on February 10, 2022, 06:22:22 AM: TOD

When I was ten, Gershwin had just become the most important composer in my life, thanks to the triple threat of the
Porgy and Bess film and the Concerto in F and Rhapsody in Blue on the Mercury recordings. The other symphonic works would follow. All of these continue to lead the way for me, with Porgy still the desert island choice, as it pretty much has always been.

One of my favorite possessions is the massive photocopy of the full score that DR Elmore gifted me with back in the Toyland days. A masterpiece and treasured artifact.

Congrats to DR TCB on his millstone.

Yes, congrats, sir. I'm so terrible at checking these numbers, but I just looked at mine and I'll have a round one coming up in not too long a time. It's a modest one in comparison with everyone else's, of course, but what can you do. Well, if I suddenly found I had a few tens of thousands of posts in me that I could knock out in short order, I guess that's something I could do.
Title: Re: NOTES: IMPOSSIBLE
Post by: elmore3003 on February 10, 2022, 06:33:47 AM: I've always loved Gershwin's beautiful and moving "Isn't It a Pity?," which I first heard on a Mabel Mercer recording. Imagine my surprise when I discovered years later that it was a comedy song like "I'll Tell the Man in the Street!"

Often I find the coffee is missing. Yesterday at Fred Meyer's, since I had coffee at home, I wanted the coffee chocolate chip, so of course that was the one missing. While not the mess you seem to have, I did think the ice cream was not as organized as usual.

That's a pretty good article for the most part. But I must vehemently disagree with the idea of using kidney beans. You need pinto beans or, as I've found at Shop Rite, "small red beans" are pretty much ideal. Big difference.

And of course this recipe has you making the chili from scratch. I really might try that sometime out of curiosity, and judging ty the picture I suspect the meat content is a little more substantial than in the original mix. But like DR Ginny, I really only eat the real thing at Skyline, and buy it in cans at Kroger to bring home.

We’ve spent most of today with extended family at the funeral of our niece’s father-in-law. Ken was just a few months younger than Richard and their mothers were very good friends. He started an HVAC business about the time we bought this house and his sons Scott (our niece’s husband) and Rob are continuing the enterprise. Rob was just here a couple of weeks ago checking things out for the winter.

My sympathies, Ginny.
