I have trying to find out how old the person with measles is, the one on the cruise ship that has now been quarantined because of it.  I would be very angry if my trip was ruined because the person had not been vaccinated for measles.

George & TCB, I just read the following in our local paper.

"The Pacific Northwest has entered a period of moderate drought, which could mean an early fire season in the Cascade Range and the Okanogan region. The potential for significant wildfires is above normal west of the Cascade crest in Washington and Oregon through August, the report said."

DR George thanks for the photos & music link.

My pleasure!

Chemo Brain - I read something on the previous page I was going to comment on and PHFFT!

I think I dozed off for about forty minutes.

DR ELMORE there's an ad that runs incessantly on our local stations about people with terrible foot pain - debilitating foot pain - and people come in to the Good Feet Store and they can help them.....it's free and if it doesn't work you don't have to buy whatever they are selling. But it doesn't look like there is one in Manhattan.....

Elmore, is the pain on the bottom of your foot -- the heel? Where you put your weight?

[Jane]

Excellent question DR Laura.

Elmore, is the pain on the bottom of your foot -- the heel? Where you put your weight?

The ball of my foot.  I think it might be tendonitis in my ankle.

[Jane]

Good vibes your doctor has some answers for you.

[John G.]

I am home and in much pain.

Hugs and pain-free vibes, Elmore.

Good Lord. A segment of last night’s dream just came back to me. It began with me working with the keyboard patches for SHREK. That morphed into the Grofe scoring of Gershwin’s Concerto in F that BK announced yesterday. I kept patch-advancing and listening to it (as though to a recording) while following the 1960s red-covered score, but it kept looking and sounding like the standard version. Obviously I’m very curious about that and am looking forward to this release.

I’m in the middle of re-reading Trollope’s Phineas Finn. I wanna go home and read more.

Is this your favorite of his novels?

No. But it's part of the Palliser series, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It's the 150th anniversary of the novel's publication, and the Facebook Anthony Trollope Society is doing a group read in honor of that. So, I guess I told myself I didn't have enough to do already, so I would summarize four chapters. Except I thought the four summaries would run over four days. I didn't read that they would run over two days, and I just had to write the last in a hurry. Thankfully, the chapter was probably the shortest in the book.

Great line from Brokenwood Mysteries:

Pub manager: "I booked a comedian. You're about as funny as the Old Testament."

Good vibes your doctor has some answers for you.

I'm not seeing my doctor about my leg.  I'm going in for treatment on whatever's mucking up my health for the past three weeks or longer.  I need to know if it;s allergies, the flu, pneumonia, WTF.  All she'll do about the leg is what the HMO has done since 2013: referrals.

~~~CONTINUED VIBES OF ALL KINDS!!~~~

And now, it's past time to leave work, so I must be off.

Be back later.

[vixmom]

Congratulations to BK on the nominations!

[vixmom]

Pain free vibes for Elmore

Vixdad kindly took me to Texas Roadhouse for dinner

[vixmom]

I ordered the 6 oz sirloin but only ate half, had salad and broccoli as my sides

[vixmom]

If it would stop raining I could start walking to work

NO MORE PAIN!

This last episode of Brokenwood, which involved a sadistic psychotherapist and his patients, ends with Patsy singing Crazy. Perfect to watch today as it's Willie Nelson's 86th birthday. If he had never written anything else, that song would still mark him as a genius.

I just got this e-mail:

Hi Mr. Kimmel!  I was looking around the internet today for birthday gift ideas for my brother, and ran into a “The Creature Wasn’t Nice” script on eBay that had your name on the cover.  Then I fell down a productivity rabbit hole looking up information about one of our favorite movies growing up, (although we knew it as “Spaceship”).  And then I found your site and “Ask Bruce” link, so I don’t really have a question, but a from-the-heart compliment:
 
Growing up in Nebraska in the 80’s, our parents always had dubious skills on filtering the movies we’d select from “The Video Station” rental place, and once every few months we’d pick up “Spaceship”, and laugh all weekend long.  Hearing three boys (age 4, 8, and 10) walking around saying things like “Science is my pie, Curiosity is my sweet tooth…”, naming things “The Stark <whatever>”, to “Gimme some leeway…”, and obviously the musical number, I’m sure our teachers just shook their heads.
 
To this day we’ll sometimes pop it in, but there’s a place in our hearts for all of it, so I wanted to say thank you!  It has brought us a lot of joy and laughter over the years.
