I am exceedingly crabby this morning for various and sundry reasons, some of my own creation and others because of the foolishness and incompetence of others. One person of whom I am quite fond has managed to drive me up the wall three days out of the past five and cxontinues this morning.

A sentiment in this upbeat history-lesson number written by Harold Rome in the 1930s for the show "Pins and Needles" -

also one of the earliest recordings (1962) by Barbra Streisand. 

Barbra Streisand sings "Sitting on Your Status Quo"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjyyLcVnN9M

"You can't stand still on freedom's track
If you don't go forward, you go back
You can't giddyup by saying Whoa
And sitting on your status quo!"

I did go to the getting place today.

And it was very quiet.  There was only ONE person doing self checkout so I got a convenient station and started my part time job.

About half way through I realized how quiet and uncrowded the place seemed for a Friday morning.

Then one of the ladies monitoring us called to the other lady and said "I'm going home. They asked us to cut our hours...."

I think not having EBT customers is going to be difficult for many grocery outlets.

I went to my newly remodeled Burger King today.

They have ordering computer stations. I asked a clerk how to use a coupon with the set up.....and she said "you can't" - and then walked me over to the registers where she helped me.

I always like when I order my Family Bundle (three Whoppers, three cheeseburgers, and three medium fries) and they ask me if it's for "here" to "to go."

In my much-too-vast experience, Burger King burgers somehow store in the fridge (and then reheat) better than McDonald's.  But McDonald's sausage breakfast sandwiches store and reheat better than Burger King.

I interviewed Kudisch a couple times; something he said stuck with me all these eons. He’d done a reading for the then-gestating Young Frankenstein and I asked if he thought anything would come of it, and he said the reading went well, “But if that’s all it was, it was one hell of a good time.”

I had seen a Costco coupon for Cranberry Walnut bread so we tried a loaf.  Now we wish we had purchased two loaves.  Apparently it is a seasonal item that sells out quickly and we were lucky to get it.  We wouldn't want to go to Costco just for that to find out they had sold out already.


Last year, we started getting the Bisconies from Costco, but then they stopped having it in the New Year.  This year, they have it again as of a few days ago, though I don't see what's specifically for the holidays about the Bisconie.  But at least now we're on notice that they consider it a holiday item, and they'll stop having it after Christmas, so we'll buy more accordingly.

Thank you all for your e-deposit comments.

Yes, I think it could be a great aid, but how do I proceed without E-WithdrawingCash, which I've asked Jen to do several times in the past years?

It doesn't have to solve every issue to still be very useful. There are other approaches that may reduce the need for withdrawing cash, depending on what you use it for.

Maybe that's what she was referring to in the recent Times article, something stage-related but not on Broadway?

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/movies/ariana-grande-wicked-for-good.html
"She’ll also be appearing on the next season of 'American Horror Story' and teased something stage-related coming up soon: 'It’s not on Broadway, but it’s something that I’m very excited about and inspired by.'"

Listening to what is the most amazing performance of the Khatchaturian piano concerto I've ever heard. I didn't know it at all and it just showed up on YouTube. I'm not always for these older pre-tape mono things, but whoever's channel this is did an incredible remastering job on it. It's from 1946. I have just about every stereo recording of this concerto - many fine pianists and conductors - but I've never heard anything quite like this. William Kapell is the pianist - died very young in a plane crash - and the conductor is Koussevitzky. The guy's channel is called Private Reserve - I saved him and will be listening to his Rachmaninov remasterings.
