Hey There!
It's 7:40 AM EST, ⛅ Partly cloudy, 47°F, Humidity 80%, Wind 15 mph SW
It seems that normal November weather is setting in, although long range forecasts don't have us dropping below freezing for another week. But yesterday was nasty.
After my morning routine, I set to work finishing the migration. I now have my public blog 97% transferred over to the new platform. The question for me is do I move over images and all that? I would like to, but I don't think I will. Lots of tedious work to get that done, and considering I am no famous blogger, what's the point? But I did clean up a few posts, in particular taking down ones that pointed to my podcast. They came over empty, so getting rid of them was the best idea. I futzed with the look a bit, giving the themes a try, but I settled on the classic look. It's the least garish, and looks similar to this blog.
After all my tinkering, it came time to shower and head on out to the local performing arts venue to usher. As I was driving over in a cold heavy rain, I saw some kids raking leaves along the way as a service project. The weather has been so splendid up to yesterday that I felt sorry for them having to rake leaves when it was raining and 42 degree out. Nasty. Then I saw a team of runners pass by. Again, nasty.
The production I saw was from the National Theatre of London, a production of Playboy of the Western World. The brouges were thick, and the director threw in some unnecessary gimmicks. The actor playing Christy Mahon was terrible, and the pace of the show was a bit too even, which dragged the action down. I'd give it a C.
I got home about 4 PM, and wrote up my last post on my current platform.While there is no reason to feel bad about changing platforms, still, I have been there for two years, and it was a good platform at the time. But it's become a bit too complicated, and this new one is more simple. Just blogging; no attempt at "community."
Dinner was early at 5:15 PM. DW made a baked ziti with sausage, and we had a salad as well. Excellent meal - I love a good casserole dish. There was a lot of time to kill after dinner, so I spent it watching the second half of The Secret Fury that I started yesterday, and then I watched Gilda Radner Live, which brought me back in time. It was essentially a collection of scenes featuring one of Gilda's characters from Saturday Night Live. It was more nostalgic than entertaining in some ways, but I enjoyed the trip down memory lane. I cleaned the kitchen, and went to bed about 11:05 PM.
That's all for now. 'Til We Meet Again!
