DR George, BK posted on the Bonynge-Sutherland-Lansbury recording of The Beggar's Opera in his notes on August 13.

This afternoon a friend from the early 1980s whom I've not see in over 30 years - although we communicate on Facebook and email - is coming by to drop off a CD, so I need to spend some time this morning tidying up. I like having company since it forces me to do more than just my usual basic litter-bed-pickup tidy of the apartment.

Yesterday our super Jeff came by and confirmed that, yes, the sink is beginning to pull away from the bathroom wall. After he left, I spent some time looking at various handicapped aids on Amazon, and I need to purchase a few things as soon as that Philly Pops check shows up.

DR JohnG, I'm happy to see you are safely home.

BK, is that Kertesz recording of Dvorak's Requiem the same one I have, the 2-disc set that also includes the Mass in D?

Unless I slept more than I thought, today is Thursday. Unlike the notes.

Oh no. We're discombobulated.

However, I'll get a jump start on the TOD by saying that I'll be making time to watch Spartacus between now and Sunday.

Why Spartacus, you ask? And why between now and Sunday? Because Sunday afternoon there's a 4K showing of it in all its restored splendor at the wonderful Bedford Playhouse, with a Q&A with Robert Harris following, and I want to have done my homework. I watched the fantastic Blu-ray of this restoration when it was issued a few years ago, but prior to that I hadn't seen the film in many years, and I need to get it under my belt again for full appreciation at seeing it on the big screen on Sunday.

The Q&A is to be moderated by Janet Maslin, who I've seen there before and is very good at this stuff.

Four years ago, Sept. 30 fell on a Saturday. Around 9:30 that morning I sat at a 79th Street & Amsterdam Avenue bus stop and realized, thankfully before the crosstown bus arrived, that I had forgotten the most important document. I walked back to the apartment, picked up the document, and exited the apartment where I ran into Val, our super at the time, sitting in his running car. He gave me a ride to the subway at the Museum of Natural History, and I rode it down to lower Broadway, to Best Friends Animal Rescue/ The i9mportant document was the landlord's approval to adopt a cat.

Only there was a problem: the Best Friends adoption event was in its second day, and they had no cats because Friday went so well. One of the Best Friends staff gave me a list of other pet adoption events for that Saturday, and there was a BIG ONE at Union Square beginning at noon. I grabbed a taxi and arrived at Union Square around 11:30. I stopped in a MacDonald's ad got some lunch, then wandered around the Square looking for the K9 Kastle trailer; they were letting cays go for $20 instead of the usual $75 (adult cats) or $125 (kittens).

I found the trailer around 12:15, and there were few people there. I walked into a trailer crammed with cats i and cages of various sizes. The first cage had a cat so depressed it lay back in the interior with its face to the wall, the second cage had a pretty cat named Kelly, the name of my crazy far right wing anti-semite uncle. I walked on to the third. The info on the cage said Annabelle was a year old. Her vet later thought she was between six to ten months old. At any rate it was love at first sight. She danced arpound the cage, flirted with me, talked, head-butted my hand, and I yelled out "I'll take her!"

Two hours later, after my references passed, I walked out of the trailer, which had a long line of peole waiting to enter, with Annabelle. Happy Gotcha Day, Missy!

Wow.

Four years.

I can't believe it's been eleven years since Mikey first entered this house. To me, THAT seems like four years. And Annabelle seems like maybe ... two?

Oy!

Happy fourth, Elmore and Annabelle!

I don’t want to be at work today.

Happy Day to DC ANNABELLE and her human DR ELMORE.

I am sad about Tommy Kirk because he was in so many things that I loved as I was growing up:

The Hardy Boys on MMC
The Shaggy Dog
Swiss Family Robinson
Old Yeller
Bon Voyage

and Pajama Party with Miss Annette Funicello - his co star in two Merlin Jones movies. They do a really nice duet here, one of my favorite songs in the series of films.

Thursday morning greetings! I decided to check in with my doctor's office regarding my loss of taste and smell and they've ordered a retest for me. This time I'm going to the drive-up testing site at our hospital. Last week, Richard and I both went to the Little Clinic inside our local Kroger.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #22 on:** September 30, 2021, 08:35:18 AM »

Thursday!

DR singdaw does your workload increase during this upcoming few months when everybody and his brother is looking for new Medicare supplements?

Retest vibes for DR GINNY.

Well, the Friday bug definitely bit me. For the last two hours, all of my thoughts have been geared to it being Friday and the weekend starting tomorrow. It's actually a Very Good Thing remembering that it's only Thursday.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #25 on:** September 30, 2021, 08:51:09 AM »

I am now going out to run a couple of quick errands. Thankfully, the couple of other things on my list can, and will, be done tomorrow. When it's Friday.

Is this location your choice or the doctor's? Drive-up testing would appeal more to me.

This was their recommendation. It's not a rapid test, so I will not have immediate results.

But more accurate.

The odds are you have covid, however, it is probably best to confirm it regarding possible future booster vaccinations.
