TCB, glad you were able to see AVENUE Q and had a good time.

As someone who has a terrible time in hot weather, would you, Tom, educate me about your portable AC unit? Which brand/model do you have and how well does it work? Any limitations? I have a little window unit, but it reached its limits pretty quickly.

I'm enjoying Acorn TV. I read some years ago about a satellite dish that could pick up the Canadian stations from many US locations. Canadians have GREAT TV. A friend in Ottawa can pick up both TVOntario, a PBS-like station, as well as a NY PBS station. So many fine offerings! But as there are only so many hours in the day, I expect to do nicely with Acorn. They don't just have British shows; they also have the New Zealand BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES, which I like to watch for the settings as much as the plots.

Have a nice Sunday.

TTFN.

Sunday afternoon greetings! Since we did our Sunday thing on Saturday, we're enjoying a leisurely day at home. Sometime between 1 and 3 we'll walk over to see the house on the southwest corner of the intersection we can see from our living room. Not interested in moving, just being nosy neighbors...

Nosy is ok 😊

LOL, this sort-of reminds me of this Time Warner "What are the neighbors doing at our open house?" commercial

The realtor, who we know, sent out postcards to the neighborhood and told us that sometimes she has a by-invitation open house for the neighbors. This wasn't that, but she asked that we talk it up. It's a nice house that the current owners have updated quite a bit:

10 Alamo Road

Dr Ginny, I suspect you'll find that you're not the only neighbors checking things out.

I'm sure, DR Jeanne...

Listening to a project I thought was dead but isn't - and it's pretty great.

Fred, I'm sorry about the loss of your friend. Vibes of comfort to you.

Thanks, Jeanne.

It was quite a shock to find out about his passing on All That Chat.

Relaxing. I've shaved, shortly I'll shower, and then I shall be on my way to The Federal for sound check and show.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #100 on:** June 05, 2016, 02:57:21 PM »

That's an interesting house DR GINNY with both a gable and a hip roof!

I will have to look into this show when we return home.

The Cy Coleman book sounds great, ChasSmith. Well worth the trip and the $1.

Agreed!

Is this a potential Kritzerland project?

George · « **Reply #106 on:** June 05, 2016, 04:06:40 PM »

I'm at the theater and we're teching the heck out of this show!

elmore3003 · « **Reply #107 on:** June 05, 2016, 04:06:51 PM »

The digitized copy of my arrangement of "The Dreidle Song" just landed for proofreading, so I have something else to work on tomorrow. It looks pretty good.

We're in for a storm and it's getting quite dark outside.

If California could have just the rain we've had today, there wouldn't be a fire for the next two years.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #113 on:** June 05, 2016, 05:42:53 PM »

But other than the torrential rains and the chilly air blowing through the open-air theater without letup, it was great to watch their first run-through in costume.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #114 on:** June 05, 2016, 05:46:08 PM »

The COVERED open-air theater, I should say. Thank God.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #115 on:** June 05, 2016, 05:47:20 PM »

Nice day here weather wise.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #116 on:** June 05, 2016, 05:51:25 PM »

So, tonight I'm picking the gang up at Westchester County Airport. The flight was supposed to be taking off this very minute and landing at 11:30. Flights are getting delayed right and left, and they haven't even boarded yet. Methinks it's going to be a long night.

I should move to Ohio

Seriously, vixmom. Makes you kind of want to vomit on the ground, doesn't it?

I've got the furnace on, on this lovely fifth of June.
