Bruce, from my perspective...congrats on completing the move yesterday

[Jane]

Good vibes with the rest of organizing and cleaning out.

[John G.]

I think that's about all I have to say.

I sometimes long for your brevity. Alas …

[John G.]

We went to Ir’land
Where friends we’d known
Persuaded us to go and kiss the Blarney Stone
But we missed the kiss of the boyfriend back home.

Having Tomato and Toasted Fennel soup fir lunch. Quite delicious after 2 days of aging.

Mostly good news from DR elmore3003.   I was hoping for a radiation "seed" implant.

[singdaw]

But, doctor knows best.

Is this streaming tonight? Story doesn’t say.

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep. Guess I'll go see if the important envelope arrived and if it has I'll do banking and then I'm meeting the helper's mom at two.

[George]

I finally decided to try to do something concrete about the inner tube.

I joined Noom (a psychologically-driven weight loss app). I've been at it for a little less than a week.

So far, I'm down 8 pounds.

Congrats, Singdaw!  I've seen the commercials and have always wondered how it works.  So...how does it work?

[George]

May the Fourth be with you.

And also to you!

[George]

I think I'll take out my "de-specialized" version of Star Wars and watch it tonight.

[singdaw]

bk, you can sign up for daily email notification through USPS.  Each day they email you the scans of any first-class mail items, so you can see what mail has actually arrived.

I am back from a wonderful session at Lenox Hill Hospital. Dr Bricksburg is a relatively young doctor, a bit of a pudgy one  but so friendly and welcoming. I had a great sense of comfort and a feeling I was in good hands with him. Before I saw him, I was examined - temperature and blood pressure - and interviewed by his nurse Gail, who was equally wonderful.

I will begin treatment with hormone injections for te next several months. Dr Blacksburg estimated three months before radiation, which will be every day for six weeks!

Wow!  Injections every day for six week!

[George]

~~~Continued Vibes of All Kinds for Larry!!~~~

[George]

Then he introduced me to his social worker, Laura, my new BFF. We had a nice 30-45 minute visit, and she is going to set me up with Access-A-Ride, which wil pick me up take me anywhere in the city for $2.50 a ride, so a roundtrip to Lenox Hill for radiation treatments will cost me $5.00 instead of $40+ by taxi. She is also going to help me with a rent reduction and set me up with PAWS: https://pawsny.org/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw4cOEBhDMARIsAA3XDRjpNFiKjXZTO3Uzz3u654DqN47GCNzZeKujsNWx0yf3ToX9YOEaBxwaAkg5EALw_wcB

That's fantastic, Larry!!

[singdaw]

DR George - Noom is basically an app. The program is basic calorie counting, with a lot of psychology and motivational concepts thrown in. You spend about 10 minutes per day completing "course work," and of course logging everything you eat and drink, exercise, etc.

The only one who is paying attention to the safety demonstration...

That's great, Singdaw!

DR George, that's not correct. I have no idea how many hormone injections there wll be, but they will occur over the next three months. The radiation treatments are 10 minues long for six weeks, five - or seven? - days a week. These will not occure until the hormone treatment is over.

Back from happily picking up the important envelope, which did indeed arrive yesterday. Then banking was, also thankfully, a breeze in both banks - the whole thing took about ten minutes between the two banks. Now I'm home and in forty-five minutes I shall be on my way to the storage place to meet the helper's mom.

Finishing up listening to the Ormandy Die Fledermaus in English - recording sounds very good.  Features Lily Pons, Richard Tucker, etc.

Glad to hear you had such a good visit to the Doctor, DR elmore!

[KevinH]

Glad your moving ordeal is over, BK!

That was my first recording of Fledermaus, 1963, I think. I like Howard Dietz' lyrics and Garson Kanin's dialogue is good, too ("So young and already a Prince!"). The production was to be conducted originally by Fritz Reiner; Kanin directed. At a rehearsal of Act Two, Kanin wanted the chorus to sit in the "Happy Days" section of the Act Two Finale, and Reiner threw a fit and declared the chorus must stand. Rudolf Bing listened to both sides, and the next day Ormandy arrived to replace Reiner. I believe that might have been the end of Reiner's Met conducting. I have an mp3 of the first Met broadcast with Ormandy conducting as well.
