Well, you've read the notes, the notes had story time, and now it is time for you to post until the story time cows come home.

BK, I has finished the book! :D
-
Whew! Now, write your review while it's fresh in your mind.
-
I guess I'll mosey on over to the bed for some sleep. The one thing I love after she of the Evil Eye has been here, is the feel of clean sheets.

I don't think I answered my own topic yesterday. I think the first books I read that weren't kid books or Arabian Nights stuff, were Myron Cohen's Laughing Out Loud joke book, followed by Arthur Knight's coffee table book, The Movies, which I got for Christmas and which I was obsessed with.
-
From there, I discovered the Jack Douglas books - Never Trust a Naked Bus Driver and My Brother Was an Only Child. I read those over and over again.
-
I know I read The Great Imposter after seeing the movie - of course, none of those were fiction. I tried to read Ben-Hur but one page was enough for me. I couldn't get through ten pages of Silas Marner. So, I think my first two fiction books were two masterpieces - To Kill a Mockingbird and Lord of the Flies. I loved both of them a lot. No wait, I may have read Nineteen Eighty-Four first - and boy did I love THAT book and Animal Farm. Yes, I think those two, followed by the other two. In high school, I mostly read plays, for obvious reasons. I didn't really become an avid reader of both fiction and non-fiction until the late 1960s. From then on, I read all the time and began my book collection adventures. For a time, I read every book on the HUAC awfulness and the McCarthy hearings. I read lots of books on the Kennedy assassination.
-
Lots of biographies and tons of film books. Lots of mysteries but no sci-fi at that time. Some best-sellers like The Godfather and The Exorcist. In those years, I discovered Ira Levin and read all his books.
-
My very first really collecible book I got for two bucks at a used bookstore in Flatbush in 1969 - a beautiful first edition of Harpo Speaks.
-
Good morning, all!
-
This day can only go up because the last hour has been hell with too many small irritations, from a Paypal issue to a dropped kitty dishes - thank God they're stainless steel - to a lost spoon that I think fell through a burner into the interior of the stove.
-
Otherwise, I'm going back to bed.
-
Good morning, all.
-
May your day improve by leaps and bounds, DR Elmore.
-
I mean, as long as you're not the one who has to do the leaping and bounding.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
And others.
-
I did the TCM thing last night, falling asleep toward the end of Casablanca, waking up halfway through Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and I don't remember when I finally turned the TV off and zonked out for good.
-
Is today Wednesday?
-
I think it is.
-
The first part of BK's lyrics in yesterday's notes almost fits the tune of "Hernando's Hideaway." Almost.
-
Loved today's story, BK. You could do a whole book of just those.

~~~ARRIVAL VIBES~~~ for BK's new Mac mini!!!

Yesterday evening I had the weirdest experience as I was preparing to let both the iPad and the app forScore update. I never allow automatic updates, nor do most savvy musicians I know who use the various music-oriented apps. Keep everything stable, and wait till after any critical rehearsals or any performances at all to do that, because you NEVER know what unexpected oddities will occur.
Anyhoo, I did my backing up and archiving (it's two processes) of all the musical scores in my library and moved those files to a different folder in case the whole thing explodes on me. Then I updated forScore, which took all of half a minute or so.
I then looked at my current operating system and didn't see a notice about there being an update, which seemed weird because I'd been getting their warnings about that. I'd forgotten that that's in a specific place. At that point I got sidetracked with a couple of emails that needed replies. In so doing, I found a HUGE LAG in the typing. It would take half a minute for the keyboard to even come up, then a similar amount of time for typing to catch up. I restarted a couple of times, which didn't help. Then - while blaming the iPad update, but forgetting that I hadn't even done that yet (are you following along here?) - I thought I'd better also update the apps themselves in case the "Typefinity" keyboard I use needed it. That didn't help matters either, so I just experimented to see which apps I could type normally in, and which had the huge lag. Gmail was a disaster, as was this site, but I could type okay on Facebook and a couple of other things. At that point I closed the thing and put the problem off while getting a little food.
When I came back, I was reminded that I, in fact, had NOT yet updated the iPad. But suddenly, now everything was working normally. So what in the holy HELL caused that? Talk about yer coincidences. Anyway, now feeling better about the whole thing, I finally went into the system stuff and selected the OS update. It began, but it's weird how the "preparing the update" process takes, like, half an hour before it begins its multiple shutdowns and restarts. But when the process was finally done, everything worked gloriously once again.
And that was my evening. And I know that, having followed along in detail, your lives are enriched beyond all expectation. You're welcome.

Good morning, all.

Meanwhile, BK is getting a whole new Mac, hopefully today. We are living on the cutting edge of technology here.

OMG, DR singdaw, that Amazon review for Annabelle & Thatch is a wonderful surprise this morning! Thank you
-
I'm not sure which is scarier... DR ChasSmith's story, or the fact that I was able to follow it.

You are welcome, DR elmore3003. Well-deserved.

OMG, DR singdaw, that Amazon review for Annabelle & Thatch is a wonderful surprise this morning! Thank you
Boy, it sure, is, DR singdaw. THAT will be a tough act to follow.
-
DR Elmore - I hope you or the publisher can get Amazon to (once again) adjust "Reading Age" to (whichever number you want) AND ABOVE. "A Children's Story for Adult Readers" is such a beautiful description, and anyone reading the publishing details below could be thrown off by that age designation, which would be a shame.

He tried. He said it was 16-18 or 18+, which I would prefer since I don't want any god-fearing Christians to panic that I'm converting children to a shameful, godless life style. Perhaps some future review will explain this is not exactly a "children's book."

I am still out of it and not feeling too well.

I must needs mow my own north forty today. (It's actually more westerly, but west forty just doesn't have that "ring", ya know what I mean?)
Feel better, DR Jrand74!

Jack Douglas! Yes I read my dad’s 3 Woody Allen story collections and all his Jack Douglas books of which Benedict Arnold Slept Here was my favorite.

I didn't answer yesterday's TOD either. Any answer I give will be guesswork, but my best guesses are that I at least read portions of my mother's copy of Gone With the Wind and Helen Keller's The Story of My Life that I know we always had in the house. Then a few of my parents' Reader's Digest Condensed Books, notably The Haunting of Hill House and Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Paris, in addition to a few other titles. I started getting movie tie-in paperback editions of various classic novels, a few favorites of which were To Kill a Mockingbird, Dracula, and Doctor Zhivago.
-
I'm looking at Wiki's list of the RD Condensed Books, and the selection of titles is rather amazing. Abridged or not, I should have dived into more of them than I did. And look, there's Marnie in the Winter 1961 edition, along with The Light in the Piazza. I always enjoyed the illustrations, and I held onto those images from the Shirley Jackson in my head in those years before the 1963 film was released.
-
I'm thinking that if Condensed Books count for yesterday's TOD, I probably read the Reader's Digest condensed book of AIRPORT even before I read THE GODFATHER.

Have I said that I'm up?

Can't remember.

So, I'm up.

Had English muffin and pill one.

I'm guessing my gal was not in the office yesterday or today - she occasionally has health issues.

Until she's back I suspect the Amazon thing won't get fixed.

I believe the Mac Mini was loaded onto the delivery truck this morning, so still on track to arrive today. We'll set everything up when I return from dinner.

You just do everything you can at 5 a.m., Jane. If you have to go out, cars have AC.

DIL texted and asked if we can pick up Grandson at school. It's too hot out for her to walk a half mile to the school, then half a mile back home.
-
Grandpa will do the honors. I expect I'll see him after dark. He'll be playing Roblox for a few hours.

It seems like such a short walk, yet with the heat it was smart of her to call you.

I looked up Roblox. It looks like a great game to do with kids.

We're usually in bed around 8. And I get up around 3:30 or 4.

Is it a dry heat, DR Laura?

Fingers crossed that the Mac Mini is delivered. I assume you have to be there to sign for it?

Or they put it back on the truck and haul it away?

Always so infuriating.

Today, a local start-up delivered a batch of soups: cucumber gazpacho and watermelon gazpacho. Haven't tried either one yet.

But all of the others I've had from them have been amazing.

Chicken noodle.

Regular gazpacho.

Lentil stew

Tuscan sausage and kale

For some reason, though I am curious about why there's so much buzz (some from sources I respect) about THE HUNTING WIVES - after two episodes, we can't seem to get enough interest to resume watching.
Maybe the online synopses will give a clue of what's worthwhile about it.

Serve it over pasta and you can call it gazpasta.

It is indeed a dry heat.

Checkup at the dermatologist tomorrow, first thing in the a.m.
(9:30 is "first thing in the a.m." for me.) :)
What a coinkydink (sort of)! I went today to get labs for my dermatologist.
-
However, when I got there, they didn't have the order from the dermatologist! Fortunately, my regular doctor also wanted labs, so it wasn't a totally wasted trip.
-
But the very nice labs people gave me a number to send to my dermatologist for them to fax the order to the labs. I did that, the dermatologist sent the order back to the labs, and very shortly after that, I got the message that very soonly I have to go back for more blood to be drawn (but not quartered). ::)
-
;D
-
And THEN, I walked to the post office to (finally) mail a Blu-ray disc to DR Larry!
-
I still need to send a DVD disc to DR Singdaw.
-
It's of the documentary that I got on laserdisc, Titanica.
-
And now that we're so close...

I actually don't remember them telling me that I even needed tests, so I never went until they contacted me asking for the results. A bit of a miscommunication, but it's all good now...hopefully!

I got the laserdisc and it was perfect, but before I had a chance to record it to my DVD burner, somehow I broke the disc! :o
-
Dopey me! ::)
-
It definitely was my fault, so I ordered another one (fairly comparable in price, and neither very expensive). I've received it and can now record the laserdisc to my DVD burner.

Life handed me beets today, so I have been making Ukrainian borscht.
-
It takes hours and there's still about 30 minutes to go.
-
The vegetables are cooking. I still have to return the beef to the mix and let it integrate.
-
I did buy sour cream and dill to go on top.
-
I guess tonight I will have it warm. Tomorrow it can be served cold.

Laura, enjoy that 117-degree weather for all of us.

ASK BK
Have you approached any the various Disney Podcast about Richard and Me. Might be the perfect way to promote your book.

Life handed me beets today, so I have been making Ukrainian borscht.
My mother used to make a recipe for borscht she got from my father's mother. My father loved it. I did not like it.
-
I did buy sour cream and dill to go on top.
I was about to ask about the sour cream, which my mother always served with it.

I do not like beets. Fortunately it was not a food my mother made me eat. I think she didn't like them either and only made or served them for my father.

No book arrived in San Antonio today.

If anyone knows anything about Disney podcasts, let me know - would love to do that, but I have never listened to podcasts, really.

Mac Mini arrived two hours late, but it arrived. I've now unboxed everything so that when I come home it's ready to go.

George, sending vibes that your lab tests go well.

Having done a little Google search, I now think the Migration Assistant is the way to go and that's from computer to computer rather than the backup drive. I have a Thunderbolt 4 cable, but I have no idea if that works in a mac. We can also do it wirelessly but that will take much more time. The vid I watched that used the Tunderbolt cable took ten minutes. I also got an email saying that we can have an expert on the phone or via chat the entire time. I'll offer that to the back house guy, just to be safe. I watched a video about the set-up and it did seem very easy.
-
I'm excited, for sure. I'm also hoping we can get rid of most of the wires so that the only ones left are the power cord and the modem/router.
-
I'm starving so I'll head over to the restaurant.

Such limited tastes. But I know. You and Jane are not alone.
-
Just finished the dishes from the soup. There were a lot.
-
I am tired.
-
We got three trucks of food today at the pantry.
-
Frozen Mac and cheese, chicken drumsticks, applesauce, snow peas, limes and. Of course, beets.
-
The beets I took has started to grow the tiniest bit of mold, which was easy to cut out
-
Seven!
-
Howdy, Rupert!
-
A mere 105 degrees here as 9pm approaches.
-
Sort of apropos for a cremation conference!
-
115 will be the high tomorrow.
-
I must say I am staying at one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever been to, the Arizona Biltmore, favorite of Clark Gable & Carole Lombard.
-
Sounds nice, Rodz. The hotel. Not the heat.
-
Finished The Storyteller's Death, acoming-of-age ghost story/romance/magical realism tale. I enjoyed it, despite some problems.
-
The writer seems to have been heavily influenced by Once on This Island.
-
Good night, all.
-
Mac Mini arrived two hours late, but it arrived. I've now unboxed everything so that when I come home it's ready to go.
Hoo and Ray!
-
George, sending vibes that your lab tests go well.
Thanks, Freddie!
-
I'm excited, for sure. I'm also hoping we can get rid of most of the wires so that the only ones left are the power cord and the modem/router.
Vibes that everything works great once it's all set up!
~~~SUPER DITTO!!~~~

Data is being transferred.
-
It's been going for about fifty minutes so far via the Thunderbolt cable. We're doing it from the backup drive because my old computer crashed three times in a row and was not reliable - and if we'd tried to do it wirelessly it would have taken at least twelve hours, if not more. It says fifty-four more minutes, but I think once it gets past the big files it's doing, that could go faster. That's happened consistently since we began.
-
Dinner was fun.
-
The three crashes were not. I suspect we were trying to do too many things at once.
-
Who knows? I can't wait till the new one is up and working.
-
I'm really glad I was able to get the new one - in the nick of time, I'd say.
-
I need to sit on the couch for a minute.
-
New notes are written and ready to post.
-
Best of luck the transfer goes smoothly and you enjoy the new machine!
-
Tonight was our first chorus rehearsal for Samson et Dalila - it was fun!
-
Still plugging along - apparently it does the biggest stuff at the end - another thirty-five minutes, and if that holds the entire 1 TB of stuff will have taken two hours rather than twelve or more.
-
My hope is that for the last 150 gigs it will speed through them. Right now there are about 240 gigs of the 850 total.
-
I'll leave the old one up until we do what we need to do in the morning. I'll get up at eight.
-
Surely page eight is around here somewhere.
-
I mean, it must be.
-
Seriously.
-
Is there gaslighting going on?
-
See?
-
Yep, it just took a big quick jump and now we're down to the last 100 gigs or so.
-
Then we pray that the desktop appears, although it may have to reboot up to do so. Not sure about that part.
-
Down to sixteen minutes.
-
Nervous, but hopefully all will be well.
-
And done, and it's restarting in a few seconds.
-
Pray.
-
Pray hard.
-
Completed migration.
-
New desktop is there and it's now importing mail.
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.
-
I wrote them.

Nice! My favorite version of the story is the song, "Sam and Delilah," especially the version sung by Debbie Shapiro Gravitte. ;)
-

Yay!
