Well, you've read the notes, the notes had rhythm but not algorithms, and now it is time for you to post until the rhythmic cows come home.

Leaving in about 30 minutes or so to get to the highway between the starting of high school and the dropping off of the grade schoolers.
It's a scientific certainty.

Good morning, friends.

And others.

Kritzerland.com appears to be down.

For what it's worth.

Gppd morning, all!

I got plenty of sleep, but nothing is removing the shoulder and right arm pains that are depressing the bejeezus out of me.

DR Jramd75, I enjoyed your "Day in Court" account.

I'm still feeling puny. Yesterday I canceled my session with my student and spent most of the day lying on a heating pad.

I'll take any Celine Dion mention as a song cue, for this Celine Dion song parody with a glorious performance by Jan Horvath:
"We're All in the Balcony Now" - Parody of "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" from the musical "Bat Out of Hell" -
https://youtu.be/smw2Qf3TIR8
(dedicated to the parody proposition that it costs so much to see shows that we're all in the balcony now - even though we know there are a LOT of people who can and will pay whatever shows cost if they want to go)
-
Good morning, all.
-
Agree re algorithms. Why is this not a no-brainer for more people?
Even our own Google and other search results are created by algorithms.
How about giving us the option to - gasp! perish the thought! - turn them off?

Tonight I'm seeing an opening of my director friend's Jesus Christ Superstar at the Bridgeport Downtown Cabaret. It's been a bucket list item of his for years, so I'm interested to see his concept. All I know about the production is that they have a female Judas, which has apparently been a "thing" for a while. This gal was our Eva Perón this summer, she's immensely talented and wonderful to work with, and doing this has been a bucket list item of her own for a few years.

Pretty much nothing since I finished watching all of my Truffauts and Beach Parties and my two-film Poitier revisit. Those were all fun, but I have no idea what's next.

A jingle that could have swayed the razor-thin 2000 Bush v. Gore election, and we wouldn't be where we are today:
Al Gore Ithms
Al Gore Music
Al Gore's my man
Who could ask for anything more?
Bush won by 537 votes. Certainly, such a jingle could have swayed 600 voters.
-
Thanks DR ELMORE.
-
What fun items we have had here already this morning!
-
I bought some Penne and some Classico pink sauce.....I don't know if it's what MR BK uses....and I had a length of sausage - so I shall probably try cooking it this Sunday.
-
The trans message the FBI claims was scratched into the bullets - was actually TRN the trademark of the manufacturer of the bullets - a Turkish company named Turan.

A Length of Sausage - possible song title for the musical version of "The Pizza Guy: He Delivers"

Oy!

Indeed it could be a lively song.

LOL I don't know what they're called. Smoked sausage two in the package they look like cured foot long hot dogs......
I am sure someone on HHW will know.

Good morning, all.

Two!

TOD:
Matlock
Maybe a western or two
-
Maybe some algorithm jokes to move this page along.
-
An algorithm walks into a bar.
The bartender asks, "What would you like to drink?"
The algorithm replies, "What's everyone else having?"
-
If all your friends jumped off a bridge would you follow them?
Machine Learning algorithm: yes.
-
My girlfriend wanted to visit another country, so I wrote an algorithm that crawls all the travel sites online...
She wanted to go to either Canada or Iran.
Canada, Canada's pretty close, I just ran Canada in about 2 minutes; I found a way that fit our budget.
And Iran, Iran's so far away, I just ran Iran all night and day; I couldn't get a way.
-
Well, enough of those.
-
Time for a Costco run.
-
Good morning.
-
I was busy all day yesterday with church stuff. Our 20th anniversary of being in this building is this weekend, so they thought we should have a celebration.
-
The thing about anniversaries is that no one else really cares. So I really don't expect anyone from our past to show up.
-
The Big Cheese from the district office is coming.
-
We spent several hours setting up the dining room so we don't have to do it on Sunday morning. Then I spent a few hours making a PowerPoint presentation of old photos. I went through my old camera cards looking for photos of people. Trouble is, there are thousands of photos of nature things mixed in with the church photos. And I had cleared some of the cards to make room for other photos, so none of the photos go back 20 years. But they'll get what they get.
-
It was fun seeing how the kids have grown up, though.
-
I also got covid and flu shots yesterday. Last night I was achy. I took some Advil around 1 a.m. and went back to sleep until 6:30, which is sleeping in for me.
-
LOL DR FREDDIE.
-
DR LAURA I'm sure your efforts will be appreciated - except by those (in every group) who after the fact say "Well, I could have done that better if you had asked me."
-
They are the same ones who have been asked before to help and either are too busy or uninterested or who turn it back over to you at the deadline - with nothing done.

LOL. Nobody will complain. It looks nice. As far as the photos go, I took them when I worked there. Haven't taken many since. We have no official photographer.

The pastor sent out invitations to everyone he could find contact information for. There's a few people I hope don't come.

Shake Shack has a new burger - a French onion burger - like the soup but a burger. I'm tempted. I've only had Shake Shack twice - Hated it the first time - second time, avocado and bacon cheeseburger, was better. And they now have onion rings.
-
But cheap it ain't. The burger is fifteen bucks alone.

My first Shake Shack meal experience wasn't that good, so with so many options, I never tried them again, except for desserts and drinks.

But the French onion burger sounds interesting.

Anyone ever heard the cast album of Carmilla: a Vampire Tale, done in 1972 by LaMaMa Etc? Written and directed by Wilford Leach, composed by Ben Johnston.
It only ever came out in a 1972 LP I have on Vanguard.

Around 1981, they revived it, and I saw it. It was quite strange, haunting but not particularly frightening/

I have a Facebook friend who is driving this author bats. She asked me to sell her 16 signed paperbacks for family and friends, which I was happy to do, but it's taking forever to get the 16 names out of her. Then today she tells me she really needs 25 signed copies. Only I don't have that many to hand.

This Charlie Kirk megillah is getting old real fast.

Oh, that’s neat Elmore. I enjoy the atmosphere of the record. I think there was a more recent revival when I was still in NYC that I missed.

What a terrific problem to have! That's a great compliment to you!
Is she in New York? If so, why not let her buy them, have them shipped to her, and she could bring them over to you for you to sign?
-
It could probably be great fun and good material for publicity for you to have a video of yourself signing all these books for her, with her right there.

Burger was interesting - very sweet and ultimately after the first few bites, kind of nauseating. Onion rings, on the other hand, were excellent.

We were given a coupon to get into the Columbia Clothing employee store in Portland.

Since it was for four people we met friends there, shopped, and then went out to lunch.

I browsed the website first to see what I might want to buy.

I got the items I most wanted, a couple of flannel shirts for the winter.

"BK, just finished RICHARD AND ME. Kudos. A warm, lovely, and loving memoir and tribute to a talented man and obviously a dear friend to you. Sorry I never met him. I'll have listen to LEVI again this weekend. Hope all's well by you. "I'm staying young"...but probably not as young as you..."

But it ran about 50 minutes longer than it was supposed to.

And I am tired.

Watching Matlock. I need to take a break after disc two.
-
Some things are beginning to irritate about the show. Mostly it has to do with the secondary characters. The actors and the writing. Also, the repetition of lines of dialogue as an echo is growing old.
-
The first world problems of bingeing.
