Everything in NYC must be quite copasetic lately. Haven't read a good Elmo rant in some time.

Geez, it's Toosday already, and evening here in lovely rainy Maine.

CONGRATS, BK on your very successful benefit show last night. I've been catching some of the FB postings and pics. I so wish I could have been there.

I also hope you are feeling much better after the attack of the zombie food.

We are into our designer run-through tomorrow, and by Friday, tech. By Sunday, halfway to coming home. It feels like I stepped into a time warp, but I am happy that the show here is very good.

Have a great evening, all!

Got up at nine-thirty and was writing fifteen minutes later. There was little of use from Sunday and Monday, even the futzing and finessing. I redid all that stuff, took a shower and came up with what was missing, and then wrote that. I've done about six new pages so far and I'd sorely love to do at least six more before the end of the evening. I know how the current chapter ends and I'm only about four or five pages from that - once that happens then the next couple of chapters I at least know what happens and that's nice.

Had my first food in almost sixty hours - poached eggs on white toast with some white rice on the side. I must say it was really good and I felt so much better getting something inside my tummy. I think at dinner I'll have something mild, but definitely eat.

I don't think I'll do any kind of meat or fish for the next day or so.

bk · « **Reply #98 on:** January 14, 2014, 02:52:26 PM »

I picked up one package and now I'm home and taking an hour or so break before more writing.

So far, I cannot think of anything that I won't eat.

Would you eat a fly?

I know an old lady who swallowed a fly. I don't know why she swallowed a fly, perhaps she'll die

Here's the whole thing. I had this in a story book when I was a kid and always liked it.

I know an old lady who swallowed a fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
I guess she'll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
I guess she'll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a bird,
How absurd to swallow a bird!
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
I guess she'll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a cat,
Imagine that, to swallow a cat!
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
I guess she'll die.
I know an old lady who swallowed a dog,
My, what a hog, to swallow a dog!
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
I guess she'll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a goat,
Just opened her throat and swallowed a goat!
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
I guess she'll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a cow,
I wonder how she swallowed a cow?!
She swallowed the cow to catch the goat,
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
I guess she'll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a horse,
She's dead, of course!!

Pretty morbid for a kids book, lol.

I don't like beets. At least I don't think I like beets, it's been so long since I tried them

We no longer get The Weather Channel on Direct tv

Cillaliz · « **Reply #104 on:** January 14, 2014, 03:05:19 PM »

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #105 on:** January 14, 2014, 03:44:16 PM »

As a kid, you couldn't pay me to eat Harvard Beets or fried eggplant.

Both are quite palatable to me, now.

It was a rainy day but not too cold in the DC area.

KevinH · « **Reply #107 on:** January 14, 2014, 03:47:35 PM »

Still have to watch Downton Abbey.

KevinH · « **Reply #108 on:** January 14, 2014, 03:47:51 PM »

Congrats BK on the success of the show!

KevinH · « **Reply #109 on:** January 14, 2014, 03:48:00 PM »

Glad you're feeling better, BK!

Thanks so much, George!

Only 28 more minutes in my work day!

Feeling kinda bad for Mirai Nagasu who took third place at U.S. Nationals but was bumped from the team in favor of Ashley Wagner. Wagner is scary-looking most of the time. She wants everything with too much fervor and, as a result, overdoes everything.

I'm a firm believer that if you finish third and three people can go, then YOU go. Wagner had her chance in both programs and she fell twice and finished fourth. Falling isn't an issue if you can score enough points to overcome the fall. Wagner did not and could not score more points. There should be no Olympics for her.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

FWIW, if anyone can remember back to 1994, Paul Wylie finished in a qualifying position (I don't remember if we sent two or three men). The committee was sorely tempted - and spoke out about their deliberations - to send another skater in Wylie's place who they had "thought" would make the team but who didn't. Wylie was considered unreliable (like our national champ Jeremy Abbott, from competition to competition).

History, of course, bears out the Olympic Committee's decision to stick to the results from nationals. Wylie not only did well...he won the Silver Medal and, in the minds of many, should have won the Gold. A Russian won it and the bulk of judges were from Soviet countries...so, go know. Our national champ that year finished very low in the final results.

Feeling bad for Max Aaron who free-skated himself into third place at Nationals, but won't be going to the Olympics because only two men will go. Sadly, Jeremy Abbott (28 years old and sporting an abominable haircut) won again and will again go to an international competition where history says he will be lackluster and disappointing.

Maybe history will be proven wrong. But there IS Jason Brown who was very good at nationals and won the silver.

A poem:

I never saw a purple cow
I hope I never see one
But I can tell you anyhow
I'd rather see than be one.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #117 on:** January 14, 2014, 04:16:20 PM »

Just a few more posts and we'll be on page 5.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #118 on:** January 14, 2014, 04:16:49 PM »

And it's just me and one guest active on the board.
