3hree!!!

[George]

I'm now back at work with a new night guard for when I sleep at night.

[George]

I didn't realize that I grind my teeth when I sleep, but my dental hygienist said that I do, hence the night guard.

[George]

I'm also fond of Thomas' mangling of Goethe. Mignon, which has wonderful music and great tunes. The overture is beautifully orchestrated:

It also contains my favorite French coloratura aria:

Those are great, Larry!

[George]

What the hell did I do? I went to fix something and deleted my post instead:

PROCEDURE vibes for vixmom today!

Hopefully she's already done by now, and is happily refilling at IHOP.

~~~SUPER DITTO!!~~~

[George]

So anyway...

I'm almost positive I didn't post about it then because a lot was going on at the time, but my dad died at the end of January last year, literally at the start of tech week for my last show before Covid. He had taken a bad fall, which so often brings older people closer to their end if there are other complications. It was just a couple of months before he would have turned 95.

He'd made plans to donate his body to the UC medical center, just as my mom had done 25 years before that, and we initially planned a memorial service to be held in May (last year), since that pesky coronavirus thing was going to hold things up for a couple of months. Ha! A year and a couple of postponements later, we are finally doing it THIS May, next Saturday the 15th. So I'm off to Cincinnati next Wednesday, for that and to stop in to see a few other relatives (all vaccinated, etc.) for the first time in a couple of years. It'll be a short but good trip.

From DR George:

I'd better add it to my account before I lose it!

That would not be good at all.  I didn't realize you could add it right away.  I figured you had a code to use as you ordered things.  Adding it right away is a much better system.

Yes.  The card was printed from Amazon and that had the code right there, so I just entered the code and the entire balance is now showing in my account.  It'll be used automatically, unless I specify to use another payment source...which I won't.

DR ChasSmith,  I’m so sorry to hear of your father’s passing and hope next week’s trip goes smoothly and brings you comfort.

Ditto!

and more.

I'm up, I'm up - nine hours of sleep.

[John G.]

Nine hours. I dream of nine hours of sleep.

[George]

Nine hours. I dream of nine hours of sleep.

Ditto!

Hello, everyone.

[Jeanne]

I'm waiting for the plumber and feeling antsy.

[Jeanne]

I was thinking the same thing, but without the IHOP part.

[Jeanne]

Today was supposed to be a light day, good for catching up on things I haven't gotten to. Not so. Stuff comes out of nowhere. How does that happen?

[Jeanne]

DR Chas, sorry to hear about your father. I hope you have a good trip and are able to have the closure you need.

[Jrand74]

DR CHAS SMITH it's sounds like the trip will be a wonderful way to pay tribute to your father.  Vibes for travel and visiting.

[Jrand74]

Uh....MANK.  I really thought I was going to see a movie about the writing of "Citizen Kane" - and I got a little bit about that.  BUT mostly it was an excuse to equate an election in California in 1934 to the last couple of elections in the U.S.

It seemed rather unnecessary to tie these two events together and turned the movie into kind of a slog for me.  And for all the praise for Amanda What'shername, her performance seemed sort of TV-movie like to me and didn't seem to capture much of the essence of Marion Davies.....sort of like Carol Lynley as Harlow......

[Jrand74]

So I don't need to see it ever again.

[Jeanne]

I woke at 5:45, then fell back to sleep, but slept lightly and had a strange dream. The dream was about my friends -- Mitt's parents -- who were good friends with Joe Biden. I think that seeing Joe on TV triggers memories of them and takes me back to those years. My day started strangely as a result. I hope that those of you who often recall your dreams don't wake feeling discombobulated, like I did.

[Jeanne]

No sign of the plumber.

I'd like to see it, but haven't been in any great hurry. I'll keep your take in mind.

I'm now back at work with a new night guard for when I sleep at night.

I clench my teeth and have worn a nightguard for many years. It definitely saves wear and tear on your teeth, thus saving -- or delaying -- costly dental treatment.

[Jeanne]

TTFN.

Ann and Jen stopped by around 4:30 to help me with a few things, then I cleaned up my mess - I had made pasta sauce after Joshie left - and put the sauce into containers. Then I cleaned the kitties' dishes, and I'm having cheese and crackers for dinner.  It was too late to cook up some spaghetti.

[elmore3003]

DR ChasSmith, I'm so sorry about your dad's death. Best wishes for your travels. I'm still mourning Poe.

I hated every lousy second of Mank.

Have been dealing with getting tracks done all day, save for the chopped salad from Stanley's, which I ate. No mail to pick up.

Very convenient.

We just found out our wonderful, wonderful, wonderful mailman is retiring this month.
