I weighed 88.05 kilos before breakfast.
I fell asleep in front of the computer for about five minutes before song practice.
I played my Gibson Les Paul Studio during song practice for the second of two sessions and it went out of tune a lot.
Around midday I took my bike out to lock it to a post before bringing my trailer down but the post in front of my place was buried in snow so I hitched it over on O’Hara. I rode to No Frills where all the grapes were too soft but they had cherries. I dumped almost all the cherries they had into four bags and did a price match to Freshco’s price of $6.39 a kilo. I also bought two packs of raspberries, some bananas, a loaf of multigrain sandwich bread, a loaf of cinnamon-raisin bread, a jug of iced tea, a jug of orange juice, a container of skyr, and a bag of Miss Vickie’s chips.
I weighed 89.2 kilos at 14:30. I had Sky Flakes with peanut butter and five-year-old cheddar and a glass of iced tea.
I weighed 89 kilos at 17:15.
I was caught up in my journal at 17:57.
I recorded from cassette through audio interface to Audacity and then saved to my computer side 2 of part 1 of my 20,000 Poets Under the League slam that was hosted by Sahara Spracklin. Tomorrow I’ll start digitizing the first slam in 1996, which was hosted by Cad Gold Jr. although at the time he called himself Cad Lowlife.
I compared the song practice videos of my performances of “In the Port of Amsterdam” on September 6, 2024, September 28, 2024, and October 12, 2024. September 6 is the winner and I think I’ll put it up on YouTube although I plan to nail a better version on my next recording project maybe this year.
I uploaded “In the Port of Amsterdam” to YouTube.
I made pizza on a slice of Bavarian sandwich bread with marinara sauce, tomato pesto, a chopped grass fed beef burger, and five-year-old cheddar. I had it with a glass of Creemore while watching season 2, episode 22 of Car 54 Where Are You?
Muldoon has an incredible memory for dates. He remembers the birthdays and anniversaries of all of his colleagues, as well as their wives and children. He gets gifts for the important events in his partner Toody’s life, while Toody even forgets his own birthday. Toody wants to remember and while looking through an old scrapbook containing a picture of him and Muldoon on their first day as partners, he realizes that tomorrow, August 16 is the tenth anniversary of his partnership with Muldoon. He buys a gift for him and looks forward to finally remembering something that Muldoon remembers. He anticipates Muldoon having a gift for him and looks forward to finally having one in return. But the next day Muldoon doesn’t know what’s special about the date when Toody asks him and this makes Toody mad. Muldoon begins to obsess over what he’s missed. He thinks it can’t be the tenth anniversary of his partnership with Toody because that’s next year. He can’t overtly ask anyone because with his reputation for remembering he would be a laughing stock for having forgotten such an important event. He begins to make subtle hints about the day to other officers to see if they will drop a clue. He asks Schnauser if he knows what today is and he responds that of course he does since it’s one of the biggest days of the year. Muldoon hurries away as Nicholson asks Schnauser what day it is. Schnauser says he doesn’t know and explains he didn’t want to give Muldoon the satisfaction of not knowing what he knows. But now Schnauser and Nicholson have to know and so Schnauser tries to subtly get the information from Kissel the clerk by saying it’s a nice day for it and asking if any bulletins have been sent out about it. Kissel says there’s no need since everybody knows and they’ll just do the same thing as last year. When Schnauser walks away another clerk asks Kissel what day it is but he doesn’t know. Kissel asks Sgt. McBride if it’s stag or wives at the event tonight. The sergeant says it’s the same as last year and that he’s wearing a tuxedo since it only happens once a year. Schnauser hears McBride ordering a tuxedo and so he orders one too. He asks the sergeant if he knows how to get there and McBride says no and that’s why they’re going in his car. McBride asks Captain Block if he and his wife will be leading the grand march tonight. Everybody plans to meet in front of Schnauser’s house and follow him. Block tells his wife they have to lead the grand march tonight but he still knows nothing about it. He calls the commissioner who asks Block if he got his memo, which should cover everything. He dictates a memo to all precincts saying what an important day it is although he doesn’t know why. The commissioner calls the mayor and asks him to make a public statement about the day. The mayor won’t admit he doesn’t know what he’s talking about because he knows the commissioner is running for mayor next year and he doesn’t want to give him any ammunition. Back at the precinct everybody is dressed and getting ready to follow Schnauser to the event. Finally Schnauser yells that it’s got to be said. “Where are we going? What are we all dressed up for? What is so special about today?” Then they trace it back to Muldoon and Toody and they all nod knowingly. Then the governor comes on the radio to talk about what an important day it is in police history. Everybody leaves except for Muldoon and Toody. Toody gives Muldoon his 10th anniversary gift and Muldoon points out that it’s only been 9 years. Toody doesn’t feel so bad since the governor made the same mistake.
The governor was played by House Jameson, who started as a part time announcer for WEVD radio and eventually became chief announcer. He starred in the radio shows Renfrew of the Mounted and Crime Doctor. He co-starred in the radio soap opera Brave Tomorrow. He starred in the Aldrich Family radio series and the short lived TV version. He made his Broadway debut in 1924 as a spear carrier in Saint Joan. He co-starred in the original Broadway production of the Garrick Gaieties.
