DR John G, thanks for the info on The Storyteller's Death. It sounds interesting.

It was a library recommendation for the whole city to read. I don’t always like their choices, but this one was fun.

Good morning, friends.

singdaw · « **Reply #34 on:** August 07, 2025, 05:18:10 AM »

And others.

Yes, DR John G. I found the movie amusing.

After all, “mime is money.”

The cameos are a lot of fun.

Good morning, all.

Congrats to BK on the new computer! It sounds wonderful.

I'll be on my way out the door to the dermatologist in a few minutes.

Congratulations, BK, on the new arrival.

singdaw · « **Reply #42 on:** August 07, 2025, 06:44:30 AM »

I hear it's fast.

I thought you'd like the speed of the new Macs! I think the best way to set up Siri and Apple AI is to turn it all off. AI is automated BSing, and Siri is your computer spying on you. I have a hunch you would find them more annoying than helpful, unless you liked Clippy back in the day.

Glad for MR BK that the computer is working well!

I am back -- and burning up. Pretty much literally.

I had to see one of the other doctors in the practice this time because they are so busy and my regular guy had to do something elsewhere. Well, this one is a great guy, wonderful personality, etc., and very thorough -- so thorough, in fact, that he just about plastered me with the liquid nitrogen. It's more coverage than I've ever had.

The results will be great, but I had better not be seen by anyone for the next week!

Good morning, all.

DR ChasSmith, thank you for the beautiful Amazon review!

I will spill a secret: the two children's books for adult readers that inspired my book are Winnie the Pooh and The Wind in the Willows. I wanted A&T to be a 21st century reflection on Kenneth Grahame's amazing book about Mole, Rat, and Mr Toad.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #47 on:** August 07, 2025, 07:32:51 AM »

E.B. White is in that mix as well.

I'm so glad it's up. I submitted it yesterday, and - unlike when I submitted one for BK's book - it didn't just appear within a couple of hours. Even though I was a verified purchaser on both. They are SO inconsistent and unpredictable.

And I had planned on naming The Wind and the Willows along with those other two, but obviously forgot that one at the last minute!

I regret that I didn't mention Jeremy's contribution in my review. I may go back and amend that.

Such limited tastes. But I know. You and Jane are not alone.

LOL. I've had fresh beets and they were eatable, not that I ever want them again. Canned beets will spread and ruin everything else on a plate of food. At least the soup is contained and easy to avoid.

DR Rodzinski, I looked up the Arizona Biltmore. You should have your children with you.

I'm up, I'm up - everything's working fine except the Time Machine backups because that won't work until iCloud finishes syncing everything, which could take a few days.

bk · « **Reply #55 on:** August 07, 2025, 09:29:26 AM »

Have I mentioned that this thing is FAST?

bk · « **Reply #56 on:** August 07, 2025, 09:29:37 AM »

Or that I'm smitten?

bk · « **Reply #57 on:** August 07, 2025, 09:30:16 AM »

I love the touch ID - never have to type in a password.

Congrats on getting the new computer in the nick of time!
