Well, you've read the notes, the notes were curious and a case, and now it is time for you to post until the curious cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: LAGOM!
-
DR Rodzinski, do you remember where your steak dinner was in Anaheim? I used to be at the Anaheim Convention Center every January for NAMM and have fond memories of many meals with colleagues there.

BK, thank you for that most excellent and vivacious birthday greeting. Yep, 79 today. I have entered my 80th year and it's a pleasure to spend part of ithere with some of my favorite people.

Happy Birthday, Elmore!
Thank you, DR Laura!

Happy birthday, Elmore!
Thank you, DR Freddie!

It's going to be a bit tense here at 202 West 82nd Street. Ann, who has blown me off this week with promises to take some books to the post office for me, and I are currently at odds because of her broken promises and my frustration since the middle of August over getting these books shipped.
-
Yesterday was a weird, unsettling day. Part of it is my usual pre-birthday depression, and the other was made up of hiccups in my daily existence, beginning with Ann not showing up - again! - to run her promised post office errand. Then, wee had no hot water all day, and at 4:00, MSNBC refused to broadcast. The TV screen went black for maybe 5-7 minutyes, then a commercial played and the TV sprang to life, only to go back to black when the program returned. After maybe 30 minutes of this BS, I called Spectrum and they were completely inept.

A Very Happy Birthday to DR Larry!! :D

From last night:
That was a very nice interview, Freddie!
-
Hello, Kevin!
-
Hi George!
-
Also last night, John asked:
How far is Issaquah from you, George?
It's supposed to be about an hour and 15 minutes away, but probably isn't more an hour and a half (depending on traffic).

That was a shlep for you then, when you came to see "The Last Starfighter" reading in 2006 and then workshop in 2008 at the Village Theatre in Issaquah.
But I guess we were all younger then.

We were good at climbing trees. (almost a Sondheim reference)

I can hear them now.
I shall try to shift my knees.

Shifting my knees was certainly easier twenty or thirty years ago.

I think I learned this phrase from Jrand either here or on Facebook:

The most interesting thing happened around 7:55. There was a knock at my door. Ann came in, said she was running late and couldn't talk. picked up the books for the post office and headed for the door. I said, let me give you my credit card, and she said, we'll discuss it later and left.
-
I hope they're not sitting in a trash bin on Broadway now.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
And others.
-
The others never speak.
-
Yay, Ann! But I hope all is well with her!
-
The others never speak.
The others don't have member accounts. :)
-
I do not like tense situations or confrontations, and I hope this is not going to be a fraught day.
-
"A Trash Bin on Broadway" desperately calls out to be the title of ... something.

"A Trash Bin on Broadway" desperately calls out to be the title of ... something.
There's a trash bin for all the trash on Broadway.
Maybe a turn of phrase like "And a lot of trash has been on Broadway."

It was good to see vixmom back and posting some updates. More, please!
Hey, maybe she'll return for "somebody's" birthday! :)

Good morning, all.

I don't think I answered the TOD yesterday:
Vanilla Wafers.

DR RODZINSKI after a show one night, a group of us were all invited to a party at a big nice house on North Meridian St. in Indy.
The back wall of the living room was a series of French doors that looked out onto the BIG swimming pool.
I was sitting on the couch looking outside, when a possum as big as a dog came out of the trees and just trotted around the pool.
The hostess walked by and saw it and said: "Only in Indiana......"

I wonder if it's too late to add Vanilla Wafers to our Amazon Fresh order.
-
They're so light, they must have almost no calories.
-
That would be my guess as well.

Yesterday two of my sisters Paula and Myrna came by.
I had a Great Value Rising Crust Buffalo Chicken pizza so I made that.
Myrna brought a bottle of Whipped Cream Vodka because she wanted to celebrate.

On Wednesday night my nephew's ex-wife - who showed up at the courthouse last week but then left. Myrna said she thinks Mindy saw me and thought I was an attorney.
Anyway....she was stopped by the police on Wednesday night - although she drove from them for several miles. They then arrested her for DUI and disorderly conduct an because she is on probation she will now have to serve her entire original sentence. Myrna didn't remember what the sentence was, but Mindy will be in the slammer for awhile....

It was called The Ranch, about 10 min from the Disneyland Hotel.

I did watch a movie on the plane, which is about the only place I see movies. A Ron Howard documentary about Jim Henson. Quite good. Excellent footage and interviews. No random modern pop stars showing up to throw in their opinions. A success, in my book.

Yesterday’s TOD:
By the time I was born, Mom was baking several dozen types of cookies for her customers. Favorites included Russian tea cakes, rum tarts, cinnamon stars, spritz, Scottish tea cakes (which were like mini pecan pies), chocolate surprise cookies and more.
-
I hated store bought cookies when I finally had them.
-
But I love Oreos now.

I like Nilla Wafers in pudding.

A couple of hours ago, clam chowder and a slice of coconut cream pie from House of Pies.

Clam chowder was gross and most of it went into the trash.
