Wonderful to hear from Danise. I hope all the projects go very well. I can't wait to see the photos!

Edi the bell really has been useful - when the Vixter is upstairs or downstairs she can hear me now when I need her.

When your voice gets better, you can yell "Front!", like they do in the fancy hotels! (Or in the movies that take place in fancy hotels...)

Oh yeah TV Guide! I used to get that as well and so did my parents when I was growing up. Then they "improved" it by taking out the TV listings - that was it for me!

My brother and I always looked forward to the new Archie comics. And I read Tiger Beat/16--anything that had The Monkees on the cover! Swooooooon....

Just arrived in the mail:

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: From the Secret Files of Harry Pennypacker by Michael B. Druxman.

I have no idea how a book that isn't about food came to be sent to this house.

Yes, I always looked forward to TV Guide, too. I would look through the whole week to plan what movies I wanted to see. (I lived out in the middle of nowhere as a teenager so there wasn't much to do!) Anything listed as a "lurid melodrama" had me at "lurid."

LOL - take him, he's yours! I could never understand the fuss about Davy.

With the Beatles it was Paul...and I couldn't understand the girls who though John was "dreamy"

As for the Topic of the Day...

I did not - well, my parents did not have a subscription to "Highlights", but my grade school did, as well as my dentist's office. -Dr. Morabito!

My Mom had subscriptions to "Family Circle" and "Better Homes and Gardens", and I'm guessing that's where my love of food and cooking came from. Both magazines had "cooking with children" features, but I usually gravitated toward the regular, "adult" recipes. It's amazing how much both of those magazines have changed over the years. "BH&G" seems really dumbed-down now.

I did like "Mad" - mainly for the folding cover - but even at the age of nine or ten, I knew that most of the humor was beyond my age and frame of reference at the time. But I do remember buying any of the "Star Wars" related issues. Oh, and there was also "Bananas" magazine.

Right after college, I went through a MAJOR magazine phase due to all of those "2-years for $10" offers that were out there. "Men's Health", "GQ", "Gourmet", "Bon Appetit", "Cook's Illustrated", "Keyboard", "Electronic Musician", "Opera World", "The Advocate", "Out" and a couple of others. I remember doing a major cleaning, and after bundling up hundreds of back issues - and realizing that I had hardly read any of them - I finally stopped renewing my subscriptions. All that paper! All those trees!

Currently, I don't subscribe to anything, but will pick up copies of "Time Out New York" and "New York Magazine" regularly.

If I had to chose based on my life experiences, I'd go for Mike Nesmith, who had much more talent. But in my youth I always went for the guys who could make me laugh. (I guess I still do, because my DH can always make me laugh!)

I saw a play once that was based on the idea that you could tell which friends you would be compatible with based on their favorite Monkee. Can't remember the name of the play, but it was fun.

DR Nursie, to answer your inquiry about MONK: I liked the show quite a lot in its frst two seasons and I occasionally enjoy an episode, but I find that when the writers screw up - and they seem to do it a lot because they're running out of ticks for him - they lose the sense of the character (how could the fool I saw last night ever pass the exam to be a cop?) and I thought if I heard Mr Shalhoub be cruel to Natalie or whine one more time about his leg I would throw things at the tv. As to characterizaton on the show, why the passive Ntalie would take such crap from him is still beyond me. There have been at least two episodes now where he is a complete horror to her andtakes it because at around one minute before the episode ends he apologizes. She should drown him in a tub and ask her agent to find her a new sitcom. Last week's episode was a lot of fun; I hated last night's.

Exactly why we stopped watching MONK after the 2nd season, or maybe it was midway through the 3rd.

John was my favorite---I loved his sense of humor (see?) and his books.

I may have some news to report about Sir Paul in the near future. Watch this space... :-)

Quoth MattH yestereve:

TOmorrow I'll be working on a Comedy CEntral stand-up special which shouldn't take all afternoon and evening. I've never heard of the comedian, so it should be interesting and at least something new.

Then, on Sunday, I'll begin the final season of CHEERS in its upcoming boxset release.

Betsy's brother's wife was Production Manager on Cheers for most of its run. All of the support staff play bar customers in the two-part finale (when Shelley Long returned). You can see Betsy's brother and his wife in the booth stage right (screen left of the bar) throughout that episode.

Fun.

Topic of the Day... Addendum...

My parents also subscribed to "Reader's Digest" for a number of years, and we still have a couple of the "Condensed Books" books somewhere in storage. *Which came in really handy for grade school book reports.

And I also subscribed to "Sheet Music Magazine" for a number of years too. For a while, I had a complete set of the first five years. And probably still do somewhere in a box.

OH! -And the still-missed "Show Music" too.

No, I won't be speaking today. I did that only once, when I did the eulogy for my Aunt Ruth. I think I will probably feel better, healthwise, after the service is over. There is a reception at the church, and then I think that Mark and I will go out to the cemetery, and then back to the house.

DR Vixter it is such a pleasure to see you posting, and all with good news. Your torment from the bell is making me laugh-sorry

As tempting as mint thins in winter are, I'm sorry, I think I will have to pass on them.
