Well, you've read the notes, the notes let it go, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently letting it go because it needs some freedom.

Morning all.

Since October 26th it has been hellish at work. Not Vixmom kind of hellish with long, long hours but hellish none the less. I can't wait for it all to be over next week. Part of it is related to what the Hurricane did to our schedule but there are other facets to the problems that I won't go into. Suffice it to say every working day (Monday through Friday) so far in November has been difficult to say the least. Although we did have a more than wonderful reunion with a friend from Nottingham on Wednesday afternoon but that took place outside of work. Of course, Wednesday afternoon was when we got hit with the Nor' Easter so walking to the Restaurant was a challenge. By the time we left the restaurant the fiercest part of the storm has stopped so it just meant walking through slush.

Any reunion with friends from England will brighten my day.

Twee is a perfect word to describe Danny Kaye. I feel about him the way JR feels about Gene Kelly.

Lovely story from DR CILLA LIZ last night....congratulations to you and your client!

I am working today...oh well. There is NO performance of the THE RED SHOES.....I mean....THE CRUCIBLE tonight, because today is the day of the BIG football game between DePauw and Wabash - which is a fierce longstanding rivalry....although most of the cast is not optimistic about a win for DePauw.

Last night we had ANOTHER sell out crowd.....158 people.....they had to send out for more chairs. The cast of THE CRUCIBLE from the local high school - they did the play last fall - was there....and they joined us onstage for a talkback. Of course most of them knew more about theatre and acting and the play than we did - or at least they wanted us to think they did - and a lot of their parents were in the audience, so they got a lot of questions. It was an interesting and entertaining ten minutes....unfortunately, it last 40 minutes.

I did get a couple of questions, and expressed my opinion a couple of times....another talk back next Friday if anyone wants to come.

There were some other nice pictures in the DePauw paper that I will scan for HHW this week.

Here is our final curtain call pose.....I am third from the left, standing beside my wife....a freshman girl who is the worst actress in the play, if not the world.

That's a good question DR VIXMOM.....I don't know where she was when we took that picture....hmmmm.....maybe out with the Devil.

Off to work.....oh well. I shall return this evening.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #19 on:** November 10, 2012, 05:42:46 AM »

BTW, I liked BK's post last night about reissuing a very much in demand out-of-print Kritzerland title. No idea what it's going to be, but:

I'll take it!

Danise · « **Reply #20 on:** November 10, 2012, 05:55:44 AM »

Hi all! I'm sorry I missed the celebration. I was on the phone with Thelma for a bit because we haven't been in contact for awhile.

The house is still having it's problems. They were going to come and pour the concrete for the laundry room then that got canceled because of the septic. They somehow thought I was connected to city sewage but I have a septic hole.

Anyway things have been up and down with work and all. Well things are about to change. Hopefully for the better but I can't post about it until after Tuesday when I'm sure. So stay tuned for the (hopefully) happy news!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #21 on:** November 10, 2012, 05:58:51 AM »

TOD

Cheese. Oy! Where to begin?

First of all, right now I'm temporarily off all dairy because I'm on a standard 30-day course of Doxycycline thanks to a very friendly DEER TICK. Yes, my fellow DRs, after all of these years living around the deer, I finally attracted one of their lovely friends, and I'm on the antibiotic to pretty much ensure I never have a problem with Lyme -- the prognosis of which is as close to 100% as it gets, since we caught it and started the Doxy within 24 hours of the bite. And I've felt fine throughout, no symptoms at all.

This happened the morning after "Sandy". One of the many things I'm still behind in posting about with the disruptions of the past two weeks.

But I digress...

ChasSmith · « **Reply #22 on:** November 10, 2012, 06:00:03 AM »

Looking forward to the potentially very happy news, DR Danise.

P.S. -- Please try to keep your hurricanes down south where they belong, okay?

John G. · « **Reply #23 on:** November 10, 2012, 06:30:43 AM »

Good morning, all.

Work vibes for DRs Ben, Danise, Vixmom and all of us.

Anti-Lyme vibes for DR ChasSmith. Hope that antibiotic does its job.

Great news, JRand. Are they sending schools in to see the show? I remember we had to read that play for high school one year.

John G. · « **Reply #24 on:** November 10, 2012, 06:35:25 AM »

TOD:

I love cheese of any shape and form, but I particularly prefer discovering new cheeses, especially those made in interesting ways, such as the cheeses of Asturias, Spain, which are wrapped in the likes of fig leaves and then left to ripen in salty caves that face the sea or the various sheep, goat and cow cheeses of Portugal. Each town has its own and it was fun driving through the countryside and tasting the various cheeses.

I only buy those if I'm going someplace to share them, however. So, my fridge generally has the Costco varieties in it, including the Jarlsburg and a Parmesan or Pecorino Romno.

ChasSmith, if you are off dairy, could you still have goat or sheep milk cheeses? Or is it the mold involved that makes them off limits?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #25 on:** November 10, 2012, 06:42:22 AM »

No idea, DR John G. I think the basic layman's understanding is that dairy products cling to this particular antibiotic in a way that prevents it from doing its good work. As a person who takes cheese on everything, I'm finding it especially difficult to avoid -- only from a habit standpoint. The simple act of ordering a hamburger instead of a cheeseburger takes a surprising mental effort! I don't mind doing without for a while, it's just a challenge to remember at all times.

Vibes to DR Chas for quick recovery.

Speaking of medical: Have any people had any reactions to this year's flu shot that are unusual?
Sounds like for some, the prevention is worse than what they're curing.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #27 on:** November 10, 2012, 06:46:41 AM »

Thanks, DR FJL!

I've never had reactions to flu shots. The one thing I noticed about this one is that the arm was slightly but noticeably more sore for a day or two.

FJL · « **Reply #28 on:** November 10, 2012, 06:47:50 AM »

Sorry I missed HHW's birthday!

So glad to have heard and gotten to vote in the categories where I knew the work. congrats to BK!
