Well, you've read the notes, the notes were cool even though the author was hot, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently sitting in an air-cooled motion picture theater watching a moovie.

TOD:

My FLOSING WEEDS dvd arrived yesterday, and I am watching the siletn version.  Also looking for some music to use for DEATH BY CHOCOLATE...tried some SUPERMAN cues from the MR BK-produced CD, but they are not quite right for this show....tried some Ronald Stein tracks from the MR BK-produced CD...that is closer!!

Great news from DR ELMORE...and I am INTRIGUED and non-PLUSSED by the idea of the THE TRAGIC LIFE OF THE SINGING NUN.

Hope Walty gets better, DR TPUNK....I think the vet is the answer.

Why am I up at 4:20 am?

Why is there no air conditioning at Chez Kimmel?

Why did I say I would direct HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS next summer?

Why is there air?  Bill Cosby says it's to fill up volleyballs.

Last night, I watched the first episodes of Cosmos, by Carl Sagan, and the Young People's Concerts by Leonard Bernstein.  Or rather, I tried to watch them.  I admit I fell asleep during the latter.

I'd have thought I'd have fallen asleep because of Sagan's droning, not because of Bernstein.  Oh, well.

And I've started reading Michael Ruhlman's House, a Memoir.  It's not about the television series, but about an actual house Ruhlman and his wife bought in Cleveland.  It's the first of his books I've read that isn't about food or cooking.

No, his girlfriend, who was a Phys-Ed major, said that.

Or was it that he was the Phys-Ed major, and she the philosophy student?  I forget.

I do remember how he got rid of a major headache by taking Mydol.

And driving up and down in San Francisco.  And encountering stop signs.

And I am at my desk for the last day before a vacation. We are closed on Monday, July 3 and Tuesday, July 4 and I have taken the rest of the week off. Anthony returns on July 3 and we will be heading out to Long Island for a mini-vacation so I won't be able to meet Matthew and DP at Joe Allen's. Next time!

Sorry to hear about Walty! I'm sure it's nothing serious but I know that I would have him checked out before I left also. It will make Jason's job easier too.

A get-together at Fred and Skip's sounds faboo!!! We New Yorkers are a congenial bunch, aren't we?

I'm going to the theatre tonight to see The Lieutenant of Inishmore. On Saturday I will watch Episode 10 of the current Sopranos season. I believe there are 3 left (before the final 8 to be filmed and broadcast sometime next year) and I will watch them when we get out to Long Island. Sunday I'm going to see (finally, it's been running for years) I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change (which, of course, was recorded/produced by BK). A friend feels he should see it because he's right for the show. It's always on TDF so we got cheap tickets.

At the office I have Forever Plaid (a favorite of DR Laura), Grease (OCR), Guys and Dolls (original original OCR, not the Nathan Lane revival), How Now, Dow Jones (OCR), Bye, Bye Birdie (OCR), Do I Hear a Waltz (OCR, not the BK-produced recording), City of Angels (NY OCR, I'm not a big fan of the London cast recording, I've heard it a few times and since Anthony likes it, I gave that copy to him) and finally, Evita (OCR). This should keep me busy as I work on the last 40 pages of the AT&T Foundation. I hope to finish this by 4pm so I don't have anything on my desk as I take off 3 days.

I'll be back later.

Well I'm up about 45 minutes earlier than I wanted to be but I always get a little anxious before a trip.  Walty seems to be doing okay- but for my peace of mind I'm going to call around to see if I can get him in to see a vet.

Friday morning greetings!  My computer here at work has me convinced that I forgot to log off HHW last night, so it must have looked like I was sitting here like so much fish.  I was home enjoying the fried chicken dinner that DH Richard prepared, then playing with The Library Thing (http://www.librarything.com), which is very addictive.  Search for user name MrsChocolate to see my presence there!

TOD - CD(car) - finished audiobook Foul Matter by Martha Grimes and started The Whole World Over by Julia Glass.  There better be a good explanation as to why the administrative assistant to the governor of New Mexico sounds like Scarlett O'Hara!

Good morning, all!  DR JRand55, the closest analogy I can make about the tone of THE TRAGIC AND HORRIBLE LIFE OF THE SINGING NUN is that it's something like a Charles Ludlum play for the Theatre of the Ridiculous or a Charles Busch play like PSYCHO BEACH PARTY (play, not movie) with a score by Bacharach and Richard Rodgers.  I hope the authors will forgive me for reducing it so simplistically.

!!!!!!SAFE VIBES FOR TPUNK & RODZINSKI AND THE CATS!!!!!!

For some reason, this PC of my brother's refuses to do anything with size, color and marqueeing that I can do on my eMac.  It's quite frustrating!

Good morning!

Another hot day here, too. Thankfully, the A/C is working; otherwise it would be as unbearable as bk's stifling temperatures. My house likewise can stay cool well for a time, but once it gets hot out and doesn't cool off during the night, I have to run the A/C or risk withering.

DR TPunk, thanks for the heads up on a guest from Season 1 returning this week on THE CLOSER. I don't normally watch previews of shows, so I had no idea what you were talking about.

Since that Doug Sills episode certainly did end with a vague promise that she hadn't seen the last of him, it could very well be him.

I wish they had gotten rid of her years ago. I've always found her unbearable and one of the reasons I never watched the show regularly. The few times there were people on I wanted to see (Hugh Jackman, CHristopher Meloni), I had to endure her hautiness and superior attitude.

The nesting bird and her partner are very happy this morning - both birds are singing It's Love from Wonderful Town and I am here to tell you unless my eyes deceive me they are making out.  Perhaps their blessed event occurred or is about to occur.  When the Handy Man was here yesterday, I wouldn't let him use the patio doors near the nest, as that scares the bird.  I made him use the bedroom door that leads to the yard.

Some interesting points made by letter by the ABC representative, that ABC knew that they wanted not to renew her contract since last November, but they didn't tell her until April.  I guess that's business, though.  I still think ABC should stop mentioning the issue of Star Jones' being misleading about her weight battle as one of the enumerated problems; Jones has said over and over that her weight had become a major health hazard, so I wonder if there's some sort of positioning for an Americans with Disabilities Act claim - I have no idea whether that can apply to a contract not being renewed as opposed to a firing, though.

I'm looking forward to this coming year's Encores series:  FOLLIES, FACE THE MUSIC and a new revue featuring material from old revues (I'm willing to bet some of those have been answers to HHW trivia questions  :) ).  There's lots of talk about Encores' mission, but I think missions developed over a decade ago need to be allowed to evolve - and frankly, the program, while technically non-profit, needs to be able to support itself at least partially with ticket sales.

Well he had to leave to take his mom to the doctor and the other artist who helps him had to teach a class, so I was there painting away when the newspaper photographer showed up to do the annual story about the annual mural.   He didn't want to wait for Paul to get back, so he took photos of me painting. Then Heather - GF of the other artist, showed up to help me.  SO, she was in the photos too. So, we'll be in the photos and the story will be all about Paul, lol.   I guess this will officially make me an artist, lol

Walty update- sorry to bombard with these, feel free to scroll on by- he's spending the afternoon at the vet.  He is indeed backed up so to speak and is going to have to undergo sedation so that they can treat him.  Afterward they'll groom him and then he can come home.  They wanted to keep him overnight but I explained our travel situation and they agreed to speed up his service so that he could come home tonight since they won't be open tomorrow at 4AM when we have to leave.

I'm glad that it was an easily diagnosable problem and that he can be treated but I feel terrible about the timing.  I'm also worried that he won't be able to come home tonight but I guess then we will just board him there until we get back.

My poor baby!

I'm really glad you took him in.  Those were the symptoms Callie was having a year and a half ago when I left for Christmas. I found out Christmas day she was REALLY sick when I called the people watching her.  So I had to rush back and get her in on an emergency basis.   You did the right thing. He'll be fine now that they can treat him.

In our cat land we are making progress.  Last night they stared and growled at each other. Today Callie sat in the hallway and Bootsie in the guestroom and they stared at each other through the open door.  It wasn't until Bootsie started to leave the room that there was a little hissing.   After I put her back in her room, she went into the carrier. I'm not sure if she was looking for security or saying "Get me out of this place".   I'm thinking in the next day or two they will be getting along fine.

I'm glad to hear that Walty is treatable. I remember when we had to have Sasha treated like that -- sweet, mild, cooperative Sasha turned near-feral. But then they didn't sedate her.

Good to hear that Bootsie and Callie are moving towards getting along.

The circuit board has been discontinued.  What a revoltin' development this is.  He's trying to do something to get it fixed today - I've basically told them that the house is uninhabitable at eighty-five degrees, which it will be by this evening.  I also have to leave at four-twenty, so it has to be done by then.  They're supposed to call me back shortly.

I've had a 90-minute break from my Dad, so I went to Staples for a few supplies, Borders for a book to take on after I finish WILL IN THE WORLD, and a pizza place for a dinner sub.  My brother and sister-in-law have to step out tonight, so I'm going over in 30 minutes to stay with my Dad till they return.

I spent part of the afternoon sitting on the porch while my father's home care nurse interviewed him.  The view from the porch is quite stunning, and I was surrounded by the hummingbirds circling the feeder on the porch and fanned by a light breeze.  I plumb forgot about New York for a while.

Three creaky wooden stairs
Those squeaky rocking chairs
The well worn welcome mat
The lattice vines
The happy times

All I want to do
When the day is through
Is linger here on the front porch
With you
From the wicker swing
While the night birds sing
We'll watch the fireflies sparkin'
Do some sparkin' too
How the hours fly
As the moon drifts by --
How sweet the air
As we stare
At the sight
Oh! How I love to linger here like this
Hold your hand, and steal a kiss
Or two
On the front porch with you

With excuses to Mr Ira Gershwin

Ginny made her mind up when she was three
She herself was going to trim the Christmas tree
Christmas Eve she lit the candles, tossed the tapers away
Little Ginny was an orphan on Christmas day

Poor Ginny, bright as a penny
Her equal would be hard to find
She lost one dad and mother, a sister and a brother,
But she would make up her mind

Ginny made her mind up when she was twelve
That into foreign languages she would delve
But at seventeen to Vassar, it was quite a blow
That in twenty-seven languages she couldn't say no
Poor Ginny, bright as a penny
Her equal would be hard to find
To Ginny I'm beholden, her heart was big and golden
But she would make up her mind

Jenny made her mind up at twenty-two
To get herself a husband was the thing to do
She got herself all dolled up in her satins and furs
And she got herself a husband--but he wasn't hers

Poor Ginny, bright as a penny
Her equal would be hard to find
Deserved a bed of roses, but history discloses
That she would make up her mind

Ginny made her mind up at fifty-one
She would write her memoirs before she was done
The very day her book was published, history relates,
There were wives who shot their husbands in some thirty-three states

Ginny made her mind up at seventy-five
She would live to be the oldest woman alive
But gin and rum and destiny play funny tricks,
And poor Jenny kicked the bucket at seventy-six
Ginny points a moral with which you cannot quarrel,
Makes a lot of common sense--
Jenny and her saga prove that you're gaga
If you don't keep sitting on the fence

Ginny and her story point the way to glory
To all man and womankind
Anyone with vision comes to this decision--
Don't make up your mind

This one is dedicated to DR Tomovoz!
He'll understand!
 Little Red Monkey

Performed by: Joy Nicholas, Jimmy Edwards, and Dick Bentley
Distributed by: EMI Music Distribution

Look at the monkey, funny monkey
Little red monkey, acting so fidgety

Look at the monkey, funny monkey
Little red monkey, cute as can be

Where is his mama, papa, sister, brother, cousin, rest-of-the-family?
Little red monkey, on his own, some very lonesome monkey is he

Listen carefully, Dick and Jimmy, 'cause here is a job for you (what is it?)
If you get him into the zoo (the zoo?)
He'd do all of his tricks for you (joy!)

Why not drop him a line or two (what for?)
Inviting him to the zoo
For if we do (then what?)

He'll be a happy, snappy monkey
Little red monkey acting so merrily
We hope you like this little red monkey
Very lonesome monkey is he

Look at the monkey, funny monkey
Little red monkey, acting so fidgety

Get out your fiddle and play him a tune, Dick
Very lonesome monkey is he

That was ghastly!
Don't think the monkey liked that medley
Seems to be jumpy, acting so fidgety

You cheer him up, Jimmy, with your euphonium
Little red monkey, cute as can be

Oh, Jim, didn't he love it too? (I got it right!)
If you listen, he'll talk to you
He will chatter the whole day through
(monkey sounds)

Now he's a snappy, happy monkey
Little red monkey acting so merrily
See how we like this little red monkey
Very troublesome monkey is he

Little red monkey
Little red monkey
Won't you stay to tea?

(monkey sounds)
He said yes!

Sponsored by the French Ministry of Culture and with the collaboration of more than 3,000 artists, the Cow Parade (or "Vach'Art", as it's called in French) will stop in Paris from 10 April to 16 June, with expositions planned for the city's most lively and prestigious sites. A final, collective display is planned for La Défense Square from 19 to 26 June.
The exhibition will culminate in an auction sale meant to raise money for the Africa Alive Foundation, which fights malnutrition and AIDS in Africa.
The Cow Parade has supported numerous charitable organizations since the first exhibition in Zurich in 1998, thanks to the support of the more than 1,500 sponsors and the sixteen cities that have already welcomed the event.
Vache à fleur
In addition, the exhibition will help promote contemporary art by displaying original works throughout the heart of the city. Vach'Art 2006 represents yet another opportunity for Paris to demonstrate its modernity and talent for innovative, artistic expression.
The theme of the exhibition is of course the cow, chosen as a symbol of universality and kindness, and various artistic representations of the animal will appear throughout the city during the event.
Renowned contemporary artists will be able to display their creations in an unusual setting open to everyone: the streets of Paris.
Participating artists have in fact been busy in their studios since February, working on their life-size, fiberglass cows mounted on pedestals.
Vache blanche
 
The kindly cows will take over the city according to a predefined thematic layout:
- contemporary art (Trocadéro, Champs-Elysées, Les Halles, Le Marais, etc.)
- design (The Latin Quarter, Île de la Cité and Île Saint-Louis, Montparnasse, La Bastille, etc.)
- the artists (Orsay, Louvre, Opéra)
This accessible, open-air exhibition will bring together both artists and the general public, as well as enlisting the collaboration of art schools who will present their student projects.
The one-of-a-kind cows will finally be auctioned off 30 June at Artcurial.

Picked up Walty from the vet. When I got him home he hopped right out of his sherpa bag and seemed fairly back to normal. Which is a load off our minds for the trip west.

Gotta get up at 4am to head to LaGuardia. Stopping over in Ben's old haunts of Minnesota for an hour. Then on to San Jose. Can't wait to get back to San Jose, as the song goes.

Thanks Dakota.

DRLaura, it works in the way of a kind of distraction that soothes the skin but doesn't wipe out the pain. Although TPunk is fast asleep now, so maybe it did work a little.

I've been at my parents' house eating dinner (spaghetti with meat sauce, garlic bread, salad, cucumber salad, cream puffs for dessert).  Afterwards, we played the card game, Phase 10.  We had to stop at phase 7 because it was getting too late and a friend of my parents who lives in Raineer had to get home.  We all had a great time.  

I'm now home and have just caught up with all of the posts.  HOWEVER, the big problem is that my wireless mouse all of a sudden doesn't work! :P I tried swapping out the batteries, but that didn't do anything.  I now have to try and figure out what's wrong.  It wasn't very difficult getting through all the notes when I had to tab to the correct link to get to the next pages, but it just took a long time to tab through all the links.  I hope I can get the mouse to work...it's not that old.

Well, I came back to make sure that we had surpassed our all-time low.  We are safe, so I can go to Wussburgerland.  Good night.
