I like how bk says "you've read the notes" in his first post and most of the time I don't read them until after my first post of the day. Although, sometimes I read the notes and don't bother to post on the board.

I also only read the notes after i've caught up on the previous night's posts.

I got woken up at 2am by a crash. Somehow one of my scrapbook cases with drawers (each one has 3 drawers in it) fell off my shelf and onto the floor emptying some of its contents. I have no idea how that could happen. But it did.

Yikes!! Hopefully, everything is okay.

Just a big mess on my floor.

I wish that I could go on a bike ride.

Shockingly last week I saw at least 4 bikes parked at the train station. Not sure exactly how these people are biking home. Considering the roads are slippery and the sidewalks are not even clear. Are they driving down the middle of the road? Add that the temps are frigid and it makes no sense to me (except that they obviously don't want to have to walk home in the cold).

Did they have snow tires on their bikes? Do you spell tire or tyre?

Tire.

I don't think that there is such a thing as snow tires here for books. I am pretty sure they were just riding their regular bikes. Crazy!

I didn't know that Canadian books had tires at all! That's crazy!

So, Richard got back from his meeting about 5pm and we were invited to the Bishop's suite for pre-dinner drinks. Eventually, the group wandered down to the hotel restaurant where we were told it would be a two and a half hour wait for dinner. Some of the folks decided to walk someplace else, but Richard and I opted for the snack foods they sell at the front desk. We had a picnic in our room and watched GRAVITY on pay-per-view.

Oh, no...Folk Icon Pete Seeger Dead at 94!

DR Ginny did you ask how long room service would take?

Good evening, all.

Add my name to the Kim Criswell fan list. Loved that voice since "Baby."

LOL, DR Jane, no one even thought of that!

Jane · « **Reply #99 on:** January 28, 2014, 05:58:31 PM »

LOL. It still might have taken longer than you wanted to wait.

TOD:

Soul Train. Sadly I never saw Hullabaloo, except for some clips of Donna McKechnie and Michael Bennett dancing on it. But the Soul Train dancers were always better than American Bandstand.

Since the problem was a shortage of cooks, I suspect you're right.

Jane · « **Reply #102 on:** January 28, 2014, 06:08:05 PM »

A shortage of cooks is worse than a shortage of wait staff, at least in your situation.

I ust got off the phone with Rob Berman, and the 2nd bass has been hired. The seven men of the Collegians are now cast and i can relax.

I think I'll go to bed.

I saw the taping of "Make Room for Daddy" which was loads of fun. I never really thought about seeing any other shows live. "The Dick Van Dyke Show" would have been nice to go to. I bet "Carol Burnett" was terrific live.

Sleep well & sweet dreams DR elmore.

Watching the film of "Oklahoma!" for the first time in ages. This may be the first time I've seen it in widescreen and without commercials. I like most of it, but it's irritating that the accents come and go all the time. It makes everything seem more fake.

I don't think you can say "oh no" for anyone who passes away at the age of 94

I think you can say, holy cow, what a long and great life.

Page four? Really?

Just discovered that the library has e-movies that you can download. Don't know why that surprises me, but it does.

I will try to do another three or four pages this evening. That will put me about ten pages ahead of where I should be if I'm keeping pace with the previous week's writing, and that will mean that even if I only get two or three pages done on the upcoming busiest days, I still be keeping pace.

True...very true. He will be remembered and he certainly changed the world for the better.

The only time I saw Pete Seeger was when he was marching in a protest. Sadly it was when he was arm in arm with Al Sharpton and Tawana Brawley during the height of the media circus that surrounded her disappearance and claims of rape. (I guess I was part of the circus.) They were planning on marching on the state capitol in Albany, but they somehow took a wrong term and marched into a dead end. It was kind of like the scene at the end of "Animal House" where the band marches into an alley with no outlet and they don't know what to do but keep marching.

Time for me to leave work. I'm ushering tomorrow night for Judy Collins! I need to do laundry because I wore my usher outfit (white shirt and black pants) two days in a row this past weekend. They can't be worn for a third day...my black cat climbed all over me after I got home on Sunday.

Be back later!
