When we had no hot water, I turned up the radiator, thinking that was the reason the cats and I were freezing. Well, now that the water is hot again, the apartment is too warm, and I blame it and two appendages I like to call "formerly legs"for the lousy night of sleep I had last night. Around 1:30 this morning, I took a tizanidine and that knocked me out for about three hours, but the time between 3:30 and 5:30 turtled by in fits of tossing, turning, and wishing I were dead.

On the fast food front, the chicken sandwich from Burger King has been really excellent 90% of the times I've had it.  (It seems important to ask for it as a special order, since when they've been sitting under the heat lamps, they can be just not as good.)

And the McRib at McDonald's - which is also in a submarine-style shape for the bun and the "rib" -  is normally quite excellent, but they only have them for limited times for some reason.

Speaking of being dead, I am totally shocked by the news of Paul Ford's death. I've known Paul since 1983 or so, when he played one of the two pianos in Jerome Kern's Roberta, for which I scored the two movie songs, including the long fashion show. At the time, Paul was sharing an apartment with Bill Tynes, producer of The New Amsterdam Theatre Company. Meeting Paul was the highlight of working on Roberta. The low point was Bill Tynes' diagnosis with AIDS, which killed him in early January, 1987.

Until I quit working for The Drama Book Shop in 1997, I used to see Paul regularly on my way home from work as he was heading into the theatre district to play in the pit of whatever show he was currently working on. Each meeting was a short street encounter containing outrageous dish of performers and shows we liked or disliked and complaints of health and getting older. He was very limited in his likes and dislikes, as you learn in his wonderful book, and often frustrating and highly opinionated to the point of being irritating, but he was a dear friend. a wonderful musician, and I will miss him.

I owe Paul Ford for A&T getting published. After over 70 literary agent rejections, I sent Paul an email asking how he got a publisher. He said, it's my neighbor. So, I sent Robert an eail  "How do you feel abpout publishing whimsy?" And he replied, "Send it to me."

Do I dare tie this parody song Youtube [still "unlisted"] to the shock of a certain President declaring, even jokingly, being a King?  If I lose my nerve, maybe I'll take it down later.

From the articles: “CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED,” he wrote. “LONG LIVE THE KING!”

Felt like a possible time to upload our YouTube to the upcoming 250th anniversary of our independence from a King! :)
The U.S. will celebrate our Semiquincentennial on July 4, 2026. There's still time to learn how to spell and pronounce it properly.

One of our local delis has a lovely oven roasted turkey sandwich "Italian style" with artichoke hearts and other fun things. But please, oil and vinegar for dressing, not mayo. Mayo is for sandwiches, not subs / grinders / heros.

I cannot remember the name of the German who wrote the famous diary of his Berlin life in the 1920s and 30s. I read it in college because he attended the 1928 premiere of The Threepenny Opera. He mentions a party he attended where folies bergere star, a nude Josephine Baker, was having public sex with another woman. It's hard to forget parties like that!

My favorite subs are usually the club subs:  turkey, ham and chicken (but not roast beef :P ) with various veggies and sauces dependent upon the sub place. :)

And the McRib at McDonald's - which is also in a submarine-style shape for the bun and the "rib" -  is normally quite excellent, but they only have them for limited times for some reason.

I do enjoy the limited McRib, also.  Before my sister gave up meat, that was one of her favorite McD sandwiches.

Speaking of being dead, I am totally shocked by the news of Paul Ford's death. I've known Paul since 1983 or so, when he played one of the two pianos in Jerome Kern's Roberta, for which I scored the two movie songs, including the long fashion show. At the time, Paul was sharing an apartment with Bill Tynes, producer of The New Amsterdam Theatre Company. Meeting Paul was the highlight of working on Roberta. The low point was Bill Tynes' diagnosis with AIDS, which killed him in early January, 1987.

Until I quit working for The Drama Book Shop in 1997, I used to see Paul regularly on my way home from work as he was heading into the theatre district to play in the pit of whatever show he was currently working on. Each meeting was a short street encounter containing outrageous dish of performers and shows we liked or disliked and complaints of health and getting older. He was very limited in his likes and dislikes, as you learn in his wonderful book, and often frustrating and highly opinionated to the point of being irritating, but he was a dear friend. a wonderful musician, and I will miss him.

I read about his death on Facebbok. :(

Chai is a Hindi word meaning "tea." So if you say "Chai tea," you're really saying "tea tea."      :)

I once told that to my sister and she said that to her, "chai" tea meant a specific flavor of tea...not just "regular" tea.

If you haven't read Paul's book, I do recommend it.

Thank you for that notice, DR Elmore.

Although I didn't know Paul Ford, or even very much about him, the news was shocking. I will absolutely want to read his book.


I owe Paul Ford for A&T getting published. After over 70 literary agent rejections, I sent Paul an email asking how he got a publisher. He said, it's my neighbor. So, I sent Robert an eail  "How do you feel abpout publishing whimsy?" And he replied, "Send it to me."

That's wonderful, Larry!

Do I dare tie this parody song Youtube [still "unlisted"] to the shock of a certain President declaring, even jokingly, being a King?  If I lose my nerve, maybe I'll take it down later.

From the articles: “CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED,” he wrote. “LONG LIVE THE KING!”

Felt like a possible time to upload our YouTube to the upcoming 250th anniversary of our independence from a King! :)
The U.S. will celebrate our Semiquincentennial on July 4, 2026. There's still time to learn how to spell and pronounce it properly.

I cannot remember the name of the German who wrote the famous diary of his Berlin life in the 1920s and 30s. I read it in college because he attended the 1928 premiere of The Threepenny Opera. He mentions a party he attended where folies bergere star, a nude Josephine Baker, was having public sex with another woman. It's hard to forget parties like that!

Two matrons are standing at one of the billboards outside Lincoln Center, announcing an upcoming concert with Leonard Bernstein.

Since the Duke left, the show hasn't found a consistent tone.

I still like Miss Scarlet, and apparently so does everyone else.

Since the Duke left, the show hasn't found a consistent tone.

I really enjoyed MISS SCARLET AND THE DUKE very much, and something felt lost when her co-star left the show.   Skip continue watching the show anyway, and I'm just kind of interested, half paying attention to it at this point, doing other things at the same time it's on.

So the show still gets the same streaming rating from our household, since they have no idea (nor do they care, probably) how many in the household are really watching.

I purchased two $25 gift cards for See's Candy for $40.
They are for me, not for gifts.

But of course!

The local Costco also used to sell two $25 gift cards for the local Meconi's Italian Subs for only $40, but they stopped selling them. :P

And then a truly repulsive thing with my car insurance, which fortunately had a good ending.

Good news about the good ending, but too bad you had to experience the truly repulsive thing.
