Robert Yacko read Some Days Are Murder in one sitting - he couldn't put it down, he said, and he loved it. Then he left this lovely review at

Another wonderful review that captures the essence of the book.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

This evening I'm meeting my director friend for what used to be our monthly (more or less) dinner meeting, for the first time since March 12, 2020.

This is my first such local outing (I ate at a few places on my trip to Ohio, and lived to tell about it!), and I do look forward to it, certainly with a bit of nervous anticipation, but the feeling is 99% positive.

Enjoy!

That is a long time to have to wait.  Is this typical?  Do you have a "my chart" account?  We usually get test results online before we hear from our doctors.

Since getting up, I've been dealing with a Kritzerland CD release that we'll announce in a week or so, so that's taken a bunch of time. I got a response to my Blu-ray notes - apparently the sound on all the videos conforms to new specs put out by the major companies - I don't know why they'd want the sound lower these days - seems very peculiar to me, but they have to go by those specs - I need to find a Blu of recent vintage to see how accurate they are. So, the only thing we can do is bring down the volume of the menu music, which we will.

They sent the samples off for more tests.

That's too bad. :-\

My mother turned 85 yesterday, but wasn't home until today from a recent trip. I was glad to hear that the edible fruit arrangement arrived.

Finished with the commentaries and text check and all is well there, so they're going to do a volume check with some recently released Blu-rays. But I did a little test - when you're in the main menu and hearing the louder music that's there and then go directly to the film, of course it's jarring. So, what I did was go to the film and hit pause immediately, did other things for ten minutes, and then listened to it and it wasn't so bad because your ear wasn't coming from something that was much, much louder. So, we'll see what their tests say, but if they lower the menu volume to match the video volume, I think we'll be all right.

I picked up packages. The Factor meals still haven't arrived (they have until ten, which is weird), so I made the other half of the pizza thing, this time letting it cook twenty minutes longer, and that was MUCH better. I don't love the crust, but it certainly gives you the "feeling" of eating pizza.
