In honor of Ron’s birthday, of course.

Not in honor of Charles Osgood?

I'm writing a big 1 and 2 on the pill bottles.

Write down somewhere what 1 is for and what 2 is for.

Nope. It used to be oh so good pie, but Texans like to shorten things.

The new Robert Galbraith/J.K. Rowling book is out.

Thank you.  I only read the first one.  I think my brother is reading these so I will let him know.

I'm writing a big 1 and 2 on the pill bottles.

Good idea. In different colors?  I would still put a rubber band around the Prednisone.  I have pills I take occassionally that I need to be careful with.  I always keep a rubberband on them.  I also do the same with eyedrops that I need to be careful not to confuse.

I found on B&O's website the Beogram 4000C.  I don't (yet) know if I have the 4000 or 4002 or 4004, etc., but I'll look.  It's up in my bedroom in the original box under a couple of other storage boxes.

There are too many boxes on top of it, so I can't even see what the model number is.  Someday, I'll clean up the area. ::)

Once I was in Brooklyn helping my cousin move, and I was sitting in the back of a pickup truck and Jane Krakowski walked by and we made eye contact. Be still my heart.

Very cool!

What I’ve heard is that B&O turntables sound luxe, but when they break, they are difficult to get repaired.

Darn. :-\ I saw some working models on eBay for $130+ and one just for parts for $800! :o

I didn't know that there was another one.  My library has the epub book (no Kindle...yet?) with a 10-week wait.  The Pierce County library has it with a 17-week wait! :P

I've soured on her since she has become such an anti-trans wraith.

There is that. :P I don't think I read the previous book, The Running Grave.

Yes, I am loving these Delerue scores. I think I can say that in the films I've watched this week, they don't blanket the entire movie, they're just there when needed, and the music is wonderful.

I think 3 of the 7 films in our class had Delerue scores. I enjoyed all of them, but my favorite was La monte-charge, which has some wonderfully evocative sax music in some key scenes. Your description is spot-on.

The new Robert Galbraith/J.K. Rowling book is out.


We've been watching the British series C.B. Strike, based on the book series "Cormoran Strike" by J. K. Rowling/Robert Galbraith.  Very compelling characters.

We're almost near the end of the second season.

So that song that was added to the Mame revival - it is by Herman? I've never heard it before. Nice clip!

Woo hoo - Hannah Cruz is playing Svetlana in the upcoming Broadway revival of Chess. I loved her singing of Inez on the Suffs album so now I'll get to hear her in person. There's also a nice big ensemble for all the juicy chorus music in the score.
