Because we have high temps forecast in the 70s today and in the 40s tomorrow, Richard has installed our downstairs storm windows today.

DR TCB, I'm so sorry for the strife in your niece's family...

Home from City Center. The walking is better today, and I'll credit the painful massage yesterday and the exercises for that.

I'm up, I'm up - been up since ten - six hours of sleep. Helper came by to get stuff and I had to get ready for lunch - still have to shower, though. I'll leave at eleven-thirty. I've been staying up till three every night - can't do that anymore, must have discipline. I listened to the first half of Vanessa, Samuel Barber's opera. Some consider it THE greatest American opera. I'm certainly enjoying it but it will take more than one listening for me - right now, I still prefer The Crucible by Ward.

And then I'm revisiting whatever Menotti I've got in the closet if I can find it.

In preparation for our early Thanksgiving feast, I've just put 2 pumpkin pies in the oven. The house will smell real good, real soon...

Glad you are walking easier, Elmore. Too bad you had to suffer so much to make progress.

i kind of enjoy when CNN does its BREAKING NEWS banner (and the music) with a story over an hour after I had read it elsewhere online.

Listening to Andre Previn's violin concerto - it's very nice - and listening on new speakers for the computer. I'd grown weary of my Harmon Kardon sound sticks with the huge subwoofer on the floor under the kitchen table. They were very good for the last five years but I felt since I've been listening to so much music I may as well hear it in as good a sound as possible. Interestingly, prior to turning the new ones on I heard for the first time the actual iMac speakers and they're not half bad - they used to be awful. But these babies that I just got are very sweet - I think all speakers need a break-in period, and I'd read that these might need little inexpensive little wood lifts to tilt the tweeter more towards ear level - those are on their way just in case I need them. There's a model above what I got but they're bigger and I didn't want to take up that much real estate on the table - they would have required actually moving the computer screen a bit to the left. I used an Amazon gift card I'd been given a while back that I'd completely forgotten I had.

I turned them on and the sound is so much warmer than the HK sticks. It does take some getting used to because my ears are accustomed to the high end sound of the sticks. Even with the subwoofer there was rarely any low end. These have a nice bottom and I think when the tweeters are tilted up slightly the highs and mids will be a little more open. But this Previn sounds amazing, actually. And you get a lot more power out of these puppies than the sticks.

BK is only 45 posts from 87000. Will that count as a millstone?

Someone on All That Chat put up a post referring to a post on Broadway World which was a dissection of All that Chat. Then the Broadway World posters referred back to the All That Chat post which is about Broadway World. I used to assume these were a lot of the same people posting in both places, but I guess I was wrong.

Well, I must be off. I'm going to the theater to help clean it up before tonight's first performance of two of "WORDS, WORDS, WORDS: Hans Christian Andersen." It's the latest in our series of spoken word works around a specific author or subject. Tonight's author is...drum roll...Hans Christian Andersen.

I'm reading "The Princess on the Pea" and "The Goblin and the Grocer." It'll be fun!

Be back later.

Welcome to the DR John G imposter!

You're John G's cousin, right? Younger and 30 pounds lighter. Same interests.

I'm pleased to hear that Vixmom's implants are working out well. Vibes that this continues.
