Well, you've read the notes, the notes lacked pith and eruditeness, and now it is time for you to post until the pithy and erudite cows come home.

Gosh, I'm up early.

FJL · « **Reply #3 on:** February 15, 2012, 12:56:45 AM »

Early for me, anyway.

Morning all.

That is all.

Had a 2 hour and 15 minute meeting yesterday. It was scheduled for 1 hour but it went well past. At least it wasn't contentious and full of shouting. I think some things actually got accomplished. Wonder of Wonder, Miracle of Miracles.

Oatmeal and a banana and cinnamon and coffee.

Anthony is taking tap dance lessons and he has class tonight.

It's a Wednesday. So many things to do, and here I sit.

Good morning, all! I slept well, with not a single dream I can remember. The alarm went off at 6:40 and I slept in until 8; it's going to be a lazy day.

I am listening to the late great Dory Previn this morning. I find her songs, with their vulnerability and desperation, absolutely devastating and heartbreaking. I was really sorry to hear about her death yesterday.

So, the matinee of HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS should be a nice change of mood. I'm going with Naked Hercules Zak Stains whom I've not seen in over six months, and it will be fun to catch up on gossip. I've got some notes on "I Beg Your Pardon" from DEAREST ENEMY to write up, and then I may begin the tax tallies.

Meds! More coffee!

I just checked my bank account on line and was surprised and pleased to find my Federal tax return deposited. There it will sit (in savings) until I decide if I want to use any of it.

I have to pay New York State this year and I have mailed in the return with instructions to withdraw the payment on the last possible day of April 17th.

I am mailing my State Taxes today, DR BEN. I know it's early, but then I don't have to think about it anymore. My Federal return, such as it was, paid my Car Insurance and my State Taxes.

So much for the windfall.

Wednesday is a good day....so far. But I am skipping Zumba this morning again....just not up to the jumping around.

DR ELMORE we expect a full report after the Matinee. What costumes are being worn, how is the hair......and we want to hear about the show, too. Tell Mr Zak hello.

Where has DR JOSE been? He isn't in River City yet, is he?

I loved the Woody Allen documentary when it was shown on American Masters. I agree with BK about the proliferation of talking heads (Leonard Maltin--ugh!) And I was also disappointed in how dismissive the doc is of Allen's work post Crimes And Misdemeanors. I realize there wasn't enough time to cover all of his films in this career phase, but it would have been nice if the doc makers took a second look at one or two. Instead it's all a rush. But otherwise, the documentary is wonderful. I believe it comes out next week.

Wednesday morning greetings! Richard and I, along with my Mother, are invited to Rob and Mary Linda's for dinner tonight and I'm very excited. I had a quick tour of their apartment when I picked ML up one day, but this is our first official visit.

Mmmm... Meatloaf and mac'n'cheese... I wonder if I can get my sister to come over and make it for me tonight?

Yummy! I haven't had macaroni cheese in years. It's the sort of thing my mother was always making but I never think of doing it myself. Must look at some recipes.

I've had a subconjunctival haemorrhage! A broken blood vessel in the eye. I had one about 30 years ago and that time I flew into a panic and rushed to the hospital where they told me it's one of those things which happen for no obvious reason and is not serious - it takes about a week for the eye to clear. It doesn't look pleasant though. Now, where are my dark glasses?

Apart from the general household waste bin, I have a bin in which all the recyclable material goes, which is collected once a week. Annoyingly, someone or some people keep putting their own rubbish in my bin. There's no need to do this because every house has its own bin. I've now moved the bin nearer my house so that, hopefully, I can spot who is doing this. One thing I hate is having other people's rubbish in my bin!

I know how you feel, Doug. I discovered yesterday that my next door neighbor tossed an old mattress behind my fence before he moved out.

That was quite a storm we had here yesterday. It left us 0.0 inches of rain. And they tell us tomorrow we will have another storm.

0.0 inches of rain? You mean you had a storm with no rain Laura?

Laura · « **Reply #27 on:** February 15, 2012, 07:18:09 AM »

It just got cloudy and gray. That has been happening a lot lately.

I live in the Arizona desert, so rain is a treasured thing. We have not had measurable rain since mid-December.

Laura · « **Reply #28 on:** February 15, 2012, 07:18:31 AM »

But the forecasters talked about the coming storm for days.
