Thanks, Tom. It's a huge honor - considering the fact I haven't lived in Canada since 1989.

Gee, maybe Dan-in-Toronto will come back, too, and Jay.

Had a nice time with Kevin - went to Marie Callendar's where I had a salad, bacon cheeseburger, and split a piece of custard pie.

I did manage to write a bit today, so that was nice.

Does all the food at Marie Callendar's arrive frozen in those little boxes; or do they actually cook it there?

Wonderful news Maria. Congratulations from the land of OZ.

All Marie Callendar's food is prepared lovingly by chef's who speak little English.

Happy Anniversary to Ben and Ant.

Congrats to DR MARIA on her honor and what a great STORY on the TOD!!

Just learned about UFO's and Black Boxes on the History Channel.

Dear esteemed, sated, inspirational, and mensch-like BK -

I got through the fairly yukky morning errand (involving the dreaded canal of root!) and it actually wasn't too bad. Your Marie Callendar visit makes my mouth water......it is one of the few "corporate-chain-restaurants" that I find actually delicious!

To treat myself this afternoon, I have logged on several times, and felt very warm and wonderful seeing little notes from wonderful persons like TD, Laura, TCB, Jrand, MB, Tomovoz, Ben, Jane, George, Jeane, and many others.

I have eaten several times from the bowl of bitter herbs today, and will continue to do so, as I progress on my atonement.

Can some technophile help me? I have recorded a couple of video clips onto DVD from a live 1958 FF tv drama that I want to upload to my site. They are in VOB and such format. I assume I need to convert them to MPEG or AVI or somesuch so that any hyperlink on my site will play them. What software do I need? Is it easy to use? Recommendations are appreciated!

Jane · « **Reply #160 on:** August 07, 2006, 06:42:01 PM »

Maria-great story. Maybe now the family will appreciate the book more than they did back then.

For those of you who don't know, MusicGuy is an erudite and extremely talented player of pipe organs. He has many CDs and here are links to just two of them

Stairway to Paradise

A Tribute to George Wright

As Ben mentioned, Music Guy is an extremely talented organist. I have his Stairway to Paradise CD and I love it.

Ben, I also received your CD today and look forward to taking a drive this weekend whilst listening to it!

I must now eat foodstuffs whilst watching last nights BIG BROTHER episode.

Mom said she'll have dad email her chocolate pie recipe to me tomorrow. I shall pass it on as soon as I get it

Peanut butter pie is

8oz cream cheese
1 cup sugar
3 T melted butter or margarine
1 cup extra chunky peanut butter
Graham cracker pie crust
1 large carton cool whip

Blend cream cheese, sugar, butter and peanut butter
Fold in cool whip
Pour in pie crust

Makes 2 small pies or one large pie.

We've always frozen them, but you may be able to just chill and serve. Don't really know about that.

It's been quite a day at HHW, and I'm happy to see the return of DRs td, JMK, and MusicGuy, whom I do not know. I don't recall seeing any posts from DRs RonPulliam today and Jose. I hope that they are okay.

My dad had quite an exciting day today. I doubt he'll make the ride to the airport tomorrow, much as I'd like him to, but I'll spend the morning with him while I pack. I am quite happy to be heading back to NYC. Unless something alarming happens, I'm thinking about returning in late September after the New York Musical Theatre Festival opens.

Great News Elmore. Travel safely.

Matt H. · « **Reply #170 on:** August 07, 2006, 08:12:14 PM »

How nice to see Maria again after too long an absence!

Matt H. · « **Reply #171 on:** August 07, 2006, 08:16:38 PM »

The book I am reading (ON EDGE) concerns the behind-the-scenes travails of judges and referees in the world of figure skating. I got so caught up in reading about the 2002 Olympics that the first thing I watched tonight was Sarah Hughes' magical performance from those games, a superb skate that brought her from fourth place to first and the gold medal.

Reading about all the bargaining and machinations that have gone on behind the scenes in skating for many decades, it is indeed a miracle that Sarah was awarded that gold medal.

Next I watched another WILD WILD WEST episode - "The Night of the Steel Assassin." John Dehner and Sue Ane Langdon were the primary guest stars.

Matt H. · « **Reply #173 on:** August 07, 2006, 08:19:26 PM »

THE CLOSER was indeed a tumultuous episode tonight, and how wonderful to see such an array of guest stars I remember so fondly from previous work: Anthony Heald, Patricia Crowley, John Bennett Perry, and Paul Hipp.

And the ending was indeed a total shock.

Matt H. · « **Reply #174 on:** August 07, 2006, 08:20:34 PM »

CSI: MIAMI had one of the season's most colorful episodes as Horatio gets framed for murder. The ending, however, of the episode continues to be totally and insupportably unsatisfying.

Matt H. · « **Reply #175 on:** August 07, 2006, 08:22:10 PM »

And I have the DVR catching Biography episodes on Angela Lansbury and Truman Capote during the early morning hours. Have never seen the Capote one, and the Lansbury one should pair well with the Private Screenings interview from last week on a DVD-R. Of course, I'll have to delete the commercials first, but that's not much of a problem.

Matt H. · « **Reply #176 on:** August 07, 2006, 08:23:32 PM »

Safe travels for you tomorrow, DR Elmore. You may be in the air before Im able to log-on tomorrow.

Matt H. · « **Reply #177 on:** August 07, 2006, 08:38:55 PM »

Heading for bed now, so . . .

good night!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #178 on:** August 07, 2006, 08:44:13 PM »

It's funny. I mentioned Marie Callendar's tonight to my sister in Ohio, and her response was, "That's just a frozen food brand."

TPunk and I are headed to Northwest Ohio on Thursday.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #179 on:** August 07, 2006, 08:45:43 PM »

The second funny thing about talking to my sister is she is planning a garage sale while we are out there.
