GINNY'S QUIZ:

DISNEY TRIVIA...

3. On the opening day of Disneyland, Walt Disney had the event televised for one hour – a big deal back then. Besides Walt, 3 well-known TV personalities of the day served as hosts of this show. Can you name at least one?

ART LINKLETTER, BOB CUMMINGS, ROBALD REAGAN

...der Brucer (with lots of help from Woody)

Dang you and your mis-spelling.

It's RIBALD Reagan!

Well, I've lived here all my life, and that's the first rattlesnake I've seen except in the zoo. So it's really not that much of a danger. But I walked by it and it rattled at me, which sounded like a sprinkler coming on. I'll probably jump every time I hear a sprinkler come on now.

I think I'm awake again.

Having a work shift start at six in the morning... sheesh!

I got through it fine, but really needed a nap when I got home.

And then der B wanted to play Disney Trivia!

I remembered Anastasia. And Ronnie Reagan. And some of the other answers were pretty obvious.

Sorry, DR SWW, that was my fault. Hope it didn't delay your nap too much and that you're now fully refreshed.

I've not even attempted to catch up or read the days notes yet.

For the attention of DRs George, MBarnum and TPunk:

We watched the Spanish Movie "bear cub" last night.
Highly recommended.

I'm two lines away from being finished with the new song, and I've already written the two scenes. Once I get the two lines, I'll then start at the top of the script and read through - then off it goes for copying.

As it is well into being August 23 here in the land down under, a very Happy birthday to DR TCB.

In honour of the day - the firs tprblic showing of DP's newest work "Zac".

Zac lives with OzDerek's Friends Dale and Ian in the Spa town of Daylesford here in Victoria.

I agonized over that Trivia Question for over four hours, and I was not one bit closer to solving it than when I started. Grrrrrrrr!

Tomovoz, have you been in the cooking sherry again? September 23? I believe that in Oz you are only a day ahead, not a month. And if it is indeed September 23, aren't you in the United States?

Anybody in NYC planning to see this? Anybody know anything about the production? About a year ago I developed quite a fascination with Dawn Powell. That was what prompted me to go to the Mint Theatre last October to see the world premier of her play Walking Down Broadway.

Yes, Ginny, we know. That is why the no contact order is still in effect!

I received a wonderful unbirthday present yesterday from a DR in Paris. - "Spin & Marty". My childhood returns. (Well it does seem to quite often these days).

TOD: Although he's not a detective, I love James Qwilleran who solves all the murders in Moose County with the assistance of his Siamese cats Koko and Yum Yum in the Cat Who books by Lillain Jackson Braun

I was also going to mention Jim Qwuiieran in THE CAT WHO books. I would love to play Qwill in a film version.

Also:

(a & b.) Mark Manning and Claire Gray, both non-detective sleuths by Michael Craft.

(c.) Jarrod Jarvis by Rick Copp (ThE ACTOR'S GUIDE TO ... MURDER, ADULTRY, and GREED) 3 books

(d.) Annie Darling in the DEATH ON DEMAND series by Carolyn Hart

Too late. Besides, I have looked silly for years.

On behalf of DR (Absent since the beginning of the year) Jason and myself:
Enid Blyton's "Famous Five" and "Five Find-outers" were wonderful solvers of mysteries.
I didn't care much for "The Secret Seven" books.

But FJL is not even online!

Alexander McCall Smith's "Ladies Detective Agency" stories are wonderful as are his characters.

I am snacking on Dark Chocolate Raisinets. Fortunately, the package says that fruit and dark chocolate are both natural sources of Antioxidants.

Hey look, I am eating healthy!

Yup...and follow that with a box of wine (red, of course) and you're set for life!
