Sorry. Will you order a new one online or go someplace like Best Buy and check out your options?

I didn't know that Best Buy has Kindles, but I'll look around. I don't need (or want to pay for) the latest and greatest version of Kindle, so we'll see what's out there again.

I was just glancing at them the other day. You can check on their website as well. I like to see the quality of what I am buying if it is something I haven't used before.

DR George, Best Buy has LOTS of sales and promotions. I suggest you get on their email list.

Bruce, there are some very good frozen meals available. Most of them are for meat eaters, but that won't bother you. You could try a few and see which ones are keepers. Cheaper than the ones you were ordering online.

The title of this play made it difficult to come up with an appropriate cover image.

I like the cover.

I'm glad the pension check finally arrived. I've had instances where someone told me something had been "sent" only to learn that what they really meant is that the request had been put into the computer. Which, of course, is quite different than a check having been put in the mail.

I must catch up. I'm missing aspects of stories.

Or I'm just getting older.

It has gotten quite damp and chilly here. We're told that rain is headed our way, which can't be soon enough to help the firefighting efforts.

DR Chas, thanks for the insider's view.

I need to brave the local Ralph's market tomorrow, looking for an apple pie. I was at Trader Joe's last Friday and it was already mobbed. (No apple pie.) I was NOT born to shop!

Vibes to all.

A Carol Christmas has its first review - Broadway World - and it's pretty good. https://www.broadwayworld.com/los-angeles/article/BWW-Review-Group-Rep-Rocks-with-A-CAROL-CHRISTMAS-20181119?fbclid=IwAR0_tkHpa64ezr54EzyYIq62FakOp1TbkSeBcS4mvJK6ZWYmzWG7HYKYyls

While I have never been a fan, my brother still orders apple pies from the Apple Pan. Last November he was excited about a new place near Barney’s called “Winston Pie Shop”. He thought their blueberry and cherry pies were the best. He thought the apple was good but nothing special.

Stopped at the mail place and happily the replacement check was there - postmarked 11/13 - six DAYS to get from Burbank to Valley Village - the drive takes approximately six MINUTES. I have a good mind to call the Burbank post office and raise some hell.

Soooo, BK...why don't you use direct deposit??

This third Kindle, I got used for only $10, so I'm not losing very much, but I only had it since last year. Fortunately, when I get another one, I can re-download all my purchased Kindle titles that I had on the third one. However, I'll have to place holds again on all of the library's OverDrive titles that I want to get again. I was about 65% through Robert Galbraith's* Lethal White.

*A.k.a. J.K. Rowling.

Check your library status online. You should still show the book checked out and download it again on the Kindle. At least that is how my EPUB books work.

Well Jane, that would work if I didn't check it back in as soon as I download it. With my Kindle(s), I do NOT turn on the Wi-Fi. I go online to my library's OverDrive site (or Amazon directly, if I'm actually buying something), then when I check out something, I use the "Transfer via computer" option and download it through a USB cable. That way, it never goes away from my Kindle (except when my Kindle dies) and I can keep it as long as I want, and can take as long as I want to read it.

And on that note (A-natural), I'm off to rehearsal. Tonight is more music-learning, so I'll be singing.

Be back later.

You are considerate to return them immediately. I would be afraid of exactly what just happened and losing the book I was reading. What a shame the book you are reading is currently popular.

So here's what yesterday's setup looked like. This was a presentation by the Waterbury (CT) Symphony Orchestra, and the dozen or so players for this piece were stupendous. It was shown/performed in a brand new theater complex, in the one auditorium they designed for live presentations of various types. I think this was their first silent film. They said this room seats around 140. It would accommodate many more with traditional seats, but all the new state-of-the-art theaters are going with this kind of luxury seating. Looks like you can click to enlarge these.

This is what they have st the theatre where I often attend Fathom events... It's awfully easy to doze off in those luxurious recliners
