There was an article in TV GUIDE many years ago - back when it really WAS a program guide - and some television producer was interviewed. He had been the producer of Dinah Shore's first television show....a 15 minute nightly or twice weekly show.
They set Monday's show on Friday and everybody left. Dinah called him that night and told him that she wanted to do "Shrimp Boats" on Monday's show instead of one of the numbers planned. The producer proceeded to tell the story of ALL of the problems he had in getting the number together for rehearsal on Monday morning.....dancers, choreographer, musical director, musicians....and painted a rather unflattering portrait of Dinah.
I thought it was kind of mean of him to do so - after about 25 years.....but it obviously stayed with him that he had to DO HIS JOB.

Can you imagine the choreography?

TOD:
For those of you who read my book, you'll know that the two true life crime stories that fascinated me the most were the William Desmond Taylor and "Bugsy" Siegel murders.
More personal were the murders of Sal Mineo (also in the book) and actress Susan Cabot, who I briefly represented and even dated.
-
We watched EVERY LITTLE STEP last night.
That's the documentary about the revival of A CHORUS LINE.
Terrific!
-
We also watched DATE NIGHT.
Carrell and Fey were wonderful. They work well together.
But, there were a couple of plot choices that the writers made that were totally unbelievable and completely took me out of the picture.
The sad thing is that they could have accomplished exactly the same result if they'd just handled those turns a little smarter.
-
Morning all.
That is all.

Good morning, all! My alarm went off at 7"15 and I decided to sleep a bit more. At 8:15 I almost got out of bed but decided that I was lazt, so at 9:15 I finally got out of bed. I was dreaming that I was teaching at some experimental Miami University high school. Oy! I'd like that.
Today, lots of piddly things in prep for the beginning of the recording in two weeks: I've got a couple of numbers to write out, a sketchy piano part by Mr Herbert to turn into a song accompaniment, and to begin notes on everything being recorded. These will take up most of my weekend. Which is nice, since I love an excuse to go nowhere. I'm reading Carl Hiaasen's latest novel and I will fill my free time with that and THRILLER episodes.

Joe Namath in the Jones Beach production of DAMN YANKEES was a joyous show indeed.

Saturday morning greetings! Our walking plans for Smith Park have fallen through because Richard has a funeral to do with the honor guard and I don't think walking alone would be a good idea. Maybe I'll just walk around our block a few times...

We're back from grocery shopping. Now that Anthony is back from Annapolis and Long Island we need food. We went to Western Beef and Trader Joe's with our granny cart and bought ground turkey for a meat loaf, chicken breasts for dinner, some frozen dinners for easy time when I don't want to cook and lots of other staples (eggs, milk, bread, yogurt, etc.). Now we need to eat so I can make some Jello and put it in the refrigerator.

Even though I was quite young, I remember being glued to the television set during the aftermath of John Kennedy's assassination.
Later, I followed the Sharon Tate murder story completely and totally. My cousins Lynn and Dale had gone to school with Sharon Tate in Italy; they were all "Air Force Brats."
The Martha Moxley case intrigued me before I had read Dominick Dunne's A SEASON IN PURGATORY (which I only read for the first time two weeks ago).
Horrifically followed the Jeffrey Dahmer case as well.
Cases that intrigue me now:
The Black Dahlia case. There are more books concerning Betty Short on my shelf than just about any other.
Lizzie Border. I don't think this case will ever lose its fascination.
Ann Woodward's shooting of her husband, which became the basis for Dunne's THE TWO MRS. GRENVILLES.
Ted Bundy's murder spree.
The Kennedy Assassination.
Ann Perry's youthful murder of her best friend's mother.

Just got back from a solo walk around the neighborhood. I cut my time to 20 minutes, because there were some inclines. My route ended with me walking past the home of one of my rehab nurses, so I figured if I was gonna pass out her driveway would be a good place to do it. No prob and now I'm going to try to get a glimpse of DN/goddaughter Lauren on the Miami (Ohio) sideline at Florida Stadium - Go, 'Hawks!

My current fascination is with our record-setting Pediatrician pedophile.
The tort lawyers are establishing a cottage industry in trying to wring every last cent from the Medical Associations, the local hospital, and anyone else in sight.
His attorney’s now have an interesting play afoot to free the beast – suppress all the video-taped evidence. The officer’s conducting a pre-warrant drive-by of the property noted the main office and a white out building (with black decoration). They received a warrant for medical files from the “office and the white out-building”. When executing the warrant they searched the main office, the adjacent white building behind the office (not visible from the street) and the white building (with black trim, now called the “checkerboard building”. The damning video files were found in the latter space. The defense is maintaining that the search of the “checkerboard building” was invalid and that the video files were not medical records. (Actually, once the officers opened the files and saw the content, they had the warrant amended to include evidence of child abuse before continuing the search and seizing the many video clips and recording equipment.) If the search of the checkerboard building or the viewing of the first video file (and the subsequent poisonous fruit) are thrown out, the prosecution is left with a flimsy case involving the uncorroborated testimony of a pre-schooler instead of video-tape evidence of the more than 500 counts of rape and child exploitation involving 127 children charged.

I have also been to those Bavarian castles, DB. My sister ran the Service Club in Heilbronn (I don't think that base even exists any more), and I spent the summer when I was I think 15 staying with her. I had a Eurrail pass and went all over the continent by myself. It was scary, but a real maturing event in my life.

TOD - I remember as a kid living in Calaveras County, my step-father was a cop with the Sheriff's Dept and the biggest thing that went down was the thing with Leonard Lake. I can't remember what exactly was going on, but I remember him not being home much and I also remember that when they finally got into his bunker in Willsiville, they found nothing. Very unsatisfying and and huge let down.
Here's a Wiki Link about the guy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Lake)

T.O.D.
Without a doubt, Ted Bundy. Ted went to my high school, and in fact he sat behind my sister in roll room for all three years. Of course, when the story started there was no name associated with the murrders, and only after a double murder on Fourth of July did a witness come forward and mention being approached my a man named Ted in a VW.
I followed the story through both of his escapes from jail, his final murder spree in Florida, and finally his execution. A lot of people around this area hoped that Ted would confess, before he died, to the murder of little Ann Marie Burr who disappeared in the early Sixties and was never found. Many local police always believed that Ann Marie was Ted's first victim. He was 15 at the time.

DR Elmore - "da UP, eh" is the Upper Peninsula (Michigan) in Yooper dialect. Tahquamenon Falls is a state park on the shores of Lake Superior. And DALMAC is the 4-day bicycle event for which Mary Linda's parents have been training all summer. They trained in hot, humid weather and now it's cold, blustery, and rainy.

Thanks so much, DR Jeanne! Fortunately, I already liked a lot of heart-healthy foods but didn't eat enough of them and ate too many of the *others* As for the exercise, I'm tempted to try more than I should at this stage of cardiac rehab Phase 2.
To answer your question from the other night about pre-warning signals, yes, I had family history of heart disease (father and sister), out-of-whack cholesterol, and a sedentary life style. Two of those three are now in my hands and I'm doing everything I can to address them. I was sorry to hear that you've been spending time with a cardiologist...

RE: Ted Bundy -
My nephew told me that he and his family were at a Seattle park one holiday weekend, and when they got home they heard on the news that a body had just been discovered at that same park. Turned out to be one of Bundy's.
It might have been that 4th of July previously mentioned.
-
When I was managing a shoe store in downtown Seattle in the mid-70s, my salesman and his girlfriend were very excited when they managed to rent the apartment of the first murdered victim in the string of Ted murders in the Northwest. Her name was Lynda Healy and she vanished from her bedroom without a trace, except for one small drop of blood that was found on her pillow.
I was invited over for dinner at their apartment, but I passed.

BK,
You might recall this incident...and the name of the person.
In the mid-late 1960s, there was this guy who had a 99-seat theatre workshop on Vine Street, between Sunset and Melrose.
I recall he did one show that took place in a mental institution (Not CUCKOO'S NEST) that got great reviews.
Anyway, one day one of his students came into the theater and shot him to death.
His wife was an actress, and I don't recall either of their names. Do you?
-
I'm listening to BBC Radio Wales and trying to decide what to have for dinner. Now that we have so much food it's hard to know what to eat.

Another, even scarier case (for me) that took place in the early 1980s:
Took place in Agoura Hills. CA. It was a very well-publicized case, but I don't recall the names of any of the people involved.
This high school kid was driving home from summer school when he was ambushed, shot and killed by another student, a "nice Jewish boy".
It seems that, a week or two before, the victim had surprised the shooter, catching him in bed with another guy. The shooter was afraid that the victim would "out," him, which is why he did what he did.
I think the shooter was sentenced to "life," and over the years various governors kept denying him parole.
THE REASON I am aware of this case is that my son, David, was also going to summer school that year. I would drive him there in the morning and I paid another kid to drive him home every day.
The kid I paid was the victim in this case.
Thankfully, David stopped riding with him (don't recall the reason) about 2 weeks before the kid was ambushed.

I recall he did one show that took place in a mental institution (Not CUCKOO'S NEST) that got great reviews.
Anyway, one day one of his students came into the theater and shot him to death.
His wife was an actress, and I don't recall either of their names. Do you?
It sounds vaguely familiar, actually. More I cannot say at this time. :)
Very briefly, he was a publicity client, but I can't recall his name.

DS Rob just called from "da UP, eh," to tell us that he and Mary Linda are taking a day trip to Tahquamenon Falls and that both of Mary Linda's parents have left the bike trail today due to lousy weather conditions. They'll try to rejoin the DALMAC tomorrow.
I don't know what any of that meant.
i am back from lunch with Joseph Rubin and wondering (AGAIN!!!!) what the hell is going on with the Victor Herbert MD.
The UP is the Upper Peninsula in Michigan. Over and over we heard how beautiful it was. Finally the summer before we moved we rented an RV and drove up with Craig & Sherlock. Basically all we saw was rain and fog.

T.O.D.
Without a doubt, Ted Bundy. Ted went to my high school, and in fact he sat behind my sister in roll room for all three years. Of course, when the story started there was no name associated with the murrders, and only after a double murder on Fourth of July did a witness come forward and mention being approached my a man named Ted in a VW.
I followed the story through both of his escapes from jail, his final murder spree in Florida, and finally his execution. A lot of people around this area hoped that Ted would confess, before he died, to the murder of little Ann Marie Burr who disappeared in the early Sixties and was never found. Many local police always believed that Ann Marie was Ted's first victim. He was 15 at the time.
Creepy to know someone like that.

I lost a friend and neighbor this past week, someone who lives in the building. He died in his sleep.
I'm sorry for your loss. Were you friends before or after you were neighbors?

Hello, everyone,
Ginny, I continue to be amazed at your progress. I hope to soon hear that you're back to normal, but with the addition of some new heart-healthy favorite foods and an exercise program you really like.
Thanks so much, DR Jeanne! Fortunately, I already liked a lot of heart-healthy foods but didn't eat enough of them and ate too many of the *others* As for the exercise, I'm tempted to try more than I should at this stage of cardiac rehab Phase 2.
To answer your question from the other night about pre-warning signals, yes, I had family history of heart disease (father and sister), out-of-whack cholesterol, and a sedentary life style. Two of those three are now in my hands and I'm doing everything I can to address them. I was sorry to hear that you've been spending time with a cardiologist...
Is Richard also following your new exercise and diet regime?

Listening to the new master for Sugar - it sounds amazing - the remix, that is. When you compare it to the original it seems like an entirely different album, which, in essence, it is.

Sammy Williams came over and picked up some sheet music for Stages - he's thinking of doing a song from it in his club act.

How Is Sherlock's Tail?
Thank you for asking. We think it looks a wee bit better, but then what do we know. I took him hiking on Mt. Ashland again and kept him out of the water. When we returned home Keith was brushing him and noticed the bandage had slid down exposing the sores. We hope no harm was done and the air was good for it.
We return to the vet on Wednesday.

Bundy also attended the University of Utah, my alma mater.

Another, even scarier case (for me) that took place in the early 1980s:
Took place in Agoura Hills. CA. It was a very well-publicized case, but I don't recall the names of any of the people involved.
This high school kid was driving home from summer school when he was ambushed, shot and killed by another student, a "nice Jewish boy".
It seems that, a week or two before, the victim had surprised the shooter, catching him in bed with another guy. The shooter was afraid that the victim would "out," him, which is why he did what he did.
I think the shooter was sentenced to "life," and over the years various governors kept denying him parole.
THE REASON I am aware of this case is that my son, David, was also going to summer school that year. I would drive him there in the morning and I paid another kid to drive him home every day.
The kid I paid was the victim in this case.
Thankfully, David stopped riding with him (don't recall the reason) about 2 weeks before the kid was ambushed.
Sad story. It must have been very upsetting for both you and David.

DR Thom it is nice to see you. I hope you recover quickly and using the computer will be easier.

MBarnum, in the mail from NetFlix today is "Yoo-Hoo, Mrs Goldberg". Have you seen it?

Speaking of NetFlix.... Last night we watched KICK-ASS. Following are a few comments from a reviewer we like. Keith and I both agree, it's a blast. I suggest not reading reviews as they give too much away, and giving the movie at least half an hour if you feel a bit uncomfortable in the beginning.
"We have entered the world of post-modern superheroes, where the concept of someone with special powers doing battle against the forces of evil seems quaint, almost boring...... Yet, despite the trials and tribulations of some of the best-known comic book heroes, the genre is insanely popular, and that popularity gives rise to projects like Kick-Ass, which mock and embrace the conventions with equal zeal. Kick-Ass is part hard-core action flick, part parody, and part comedy. Done poorly, this sort of thing can be painful. Done well, as is the case here, it's a blast.
The commercials for Kick-Ass make it seem almost family-friendly, which it most certainly is not. This film isn't just violent, it revels in bloody mayhem."

The only thing I would caution, at least on the Blu-ray, is the odd (but evidently intentional) color boosting and smearing, leading to what I consider really ugly, oily looking purple splotches on a lot of black surfaces, like the cop's uniform or even the girl's hair in that scene where the hero breaks into her bedroom. I thought I had a defective Blu-ray until I started poking around the internets and read about it.

I see that no one is on right now. I just wanted to say "Hello." Still 9 days until my hip replacement surgery (Monday, September 13). I'm counting the days and don't spend much time on the computer. "Cheers" to everyone.
Remember, DR Thom, HHW is a great place to convalesce - as too many of us have learned first-hand...

Hmm, I was too involved in the story to be bothered, if I even noticed.

No, just a delicious glass of a Greek Chardonnay at lunch. I meant Echo of course.

Here's a our DN Lauren doing what athletic training majors do - waiting for something to happen:

And here she is in action:
-
Watching a really bad motion picture on Blu and Ray - the fact that this horridly-written drivel was a HIT is astonishing - not only a hit, but a sequel is coming. Which shows, that bad writing, mediocre directing, and a bunch of well-known talent creates a hit bad movie.

What would we do without Björk?
While nothing could ever top the Icelandic singer's epically fugly swan dress (Oscars 2001), this purple concoction comes really, really close. The musician thrilled fashion police around the globe this week when she strolled into a press conference for the Polar Music Prize in Stockholm, Sweden, looking like the gonzo star of a Cirque du Soleil ode to Barney.

Today when I arrived at the lake, the monarchs did too, on their annual migration. They were everywhere

They were swarming and basking in the sunshine

More butterflies

Here's a male monarch

This is far, far worse then the swan dress. ;D

Well, I'm going to return to church in Lima tomorrow for the first time since August 1. I suspect it will be exhausting, but I'll get lots of hugs, too! Better call it a night and go to bed soon - 'night!

Great photos, Cilla. Maybe you and Laura can do a book together.

Neighbors and friends were stopping by. We have no idea why they love one particular tree in the back yard, but they have come here for years. They were here in the morning and gone by late afternoon

I am off to bed. I have to pace myself during this four day weekend. Of course, Tuesday is my lay-off day, without pay.

Our telephone and internet service has been down for the past 3 hours. . .still had Comcast Cable television though.
I've spent time watching Jack Lemmon in HOW TO MURDER YOUR WIFE.

..the addition of some new heart-healthy favorite foods...
Which I have found to be a challenge! I love a fully loaded baked potato -but low/non-fat butter substitues are not the same, and non-fat sour cream should be listed as an "abomination" whenever Leviticus is updated. What did work, howver, was finding a savory starch substitute - buckwheat zucchini pancakes work niely, and oatmeat with soy sauce and chives is great with venison or roasted beef.

Happy weekend everyone. ;D

Too tired to think, spent the day digging holes in the yard, haven't really used a shovel in 20 years. Maybe more. Now I'm tired, and will be sore tomorrow. But I feel like I did something good. 8)

Great posts, (I love other lives) , great pics, great links. Thanks a bunch. ;)

Time for food, sleep. Back to finish yard work tomorrow. See ya.
Oh yea, I need to order the new cd. :)
Happy birthday MattH.

Sammy Williams came over and picked up some sheet music for Stages - he's thinking of doing a song from it in his club act.
That's good news. Which song?

And with that, I bid all a good night.

I lost a friend and neighbor this past week, someone who lives in the building. He died in his sleep. Sadly, it was roughly a week before anyone discovered it. It wasn't until I learned the news that a dream I had recently made sense.
Jeanne, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend and neighbor. My condolences.

the Vixter and I went out this afternoon and had her eyes tested - the good news her pescription changed very little - and they were having agood sale we were able to rdert wo pairs of glasses and 6 pairs of contacts for less than my one pair of ]glasses cost me last year
-
then we drove into the city of New York and took a stroll through Times square theTKTS booth had La Cage Aux Folles so we picked up tickets
I was somewhat dissapointed with the production - I saw the show in 1987 and it was one of my most favorite theatre going experiences - the Vixter however, was absolultey mezmerized

Thom - VIBES for a successful hip replacement surgery - HHW has teh most successful vibes around - so be sure to spend your recuperation period here!

I went to Marie Callender's with Doug Haverty to discuss some stuff.

I did not have pie. But I did have a dinner salad and a bacon cheeseburger, both yummilicious. Big jog tomorrow.

Beautiful butterflies, DR Cillaliz!
I agree!

Just saw a production of Chicago and loved it. Very good production and it was the first time I saw the stage production. It was well staged, sung, danced, etc... What a gem.
