DRLaura & Sandra, will you post a picture of the painting. What a great story!

JMK · « **Reply #211 on:** April 04, 2005, 06:30:15 PM »

Here is DR Laura's story as it would appear in Reader's Digest:

Ago, we were visiting Maine and were at an art fair. We found a painting. More ago, we were digging at the beach.

Of course! Thanks, DRGEORGE!

Walter was also Tony-nominated for his supporting role in Richard Rodgers' Two by Two, in which he played with Mr. Danny Kaye. He is also a lurker on this here site.

Good Evening!

Back from the Mall... Rather the Fashion Mall at Keystone...

Nice mall, and as DR Jrand stated, very much on the upscale side. There was practically no one there - I guess since it's a Monday night. I walked the place. Lots of window shopping. And it looks like they're in the process of installing a Movieplex.

I'd actually like to see the place when it's busier, however, from the design - kind of narrow public spaces - I'm guessing it never really gets that busy.

-It was also weird seeing Saks close up shop at 7:00. In any case...

My father's WWII exploits were the subject of a Reader's Digest article. I want to say it was in 1991. I'll have to dig it out and find it.

The strip mall right across the road from the hotel looks nice too, but everything looks closed or "opening soon". A little spooky. And a couple of us noticed that some of the stores in the other little strip mall off the parking lot, have changed their hours - most close at 5:00 - or they've closed up shop too. I guess "location, location, location" isn't always true.

Here it is. The title is "Archaeology 101."

I went ahead and stopped at Maggiano's and picked up some food. Well, more like a LOT of food. I just got a "bowl" of salad, a serving of their lemon-garlic broccoli, and a full order of their spaghetti with meatball(!). There's enough food here for at least four to six meals. -Oh, and a nice selection of bread too. AND the hotel room comes with plates and Tupperware! -Which will come in handy since we're a bit of a ways from the theatre.

A bunch of us will be making a Trader Joe's run tomorrow morning, and that should take care of the rest of my culinary needs for the week.

...And there's still Maggie Moo's....

DRs DRLaura & Sandra - Great story! And beautiful picture!!

Did you work out some sort of royalty agreement?

Sandra · « **Reply #220 on:** April 04, 2005, 06:51:48 PM »

And a closeup.

YIKES!

I was just flipping channels, and came across "Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of 'Mork & Mindy'"...

YIKES!!

OH!!!!! They have Food Network here!!! All is right with the world.

I guess Food Network doesn't have to deal with Standards & Practices.

Thanks you DRSANDRA....lovely painting!

I don't know if the Fashion Mall is ever busy, DRJOSE. Most of the upscale traffic moved to Circle Centre Mall when it opened downtown. And I think a lot of the shops close early there because they cater mainly to working folks shopping on their lunch hours.

Remember ALL cable programming in on one hour earlier than usual - but the local networks tape delay their programming. There isn't an outstanding newscast, but I guess I would recommend the FOX channel which is channel 59 - but may be channel 11 on the comcast cable box.

FM 104.5 plays a nice mix of 80's-90's stuff that is fun to listen to and they don't have any annoying DJ's to bore you to death.

If you happen to venture downtown, I would suggest the Eiteljorg Museum which is an American Indian-Southwest collection that is interesting and near the canal. It is at the corner of Washington & West Streets and has its own parking lot.

Wasn't Milton Seltzer a producer?

Official Eiteljorg site.

Then we must always say nice things about Mr. Walter Willison. And I am sure he could write a book about working with Mr. Kaye and how he tried to sabatoge his work after WW was nominated for a Tony award and DK wasn't (so I heard)

Just got home from a fantastic night at the theater. I saw Miss Liz Callaway and she was in fantastic voice. The best I ever heard her. Alex Rybeck her arranger was at the piano and he was topnotch as well. She did a lot from her first two albums in act one and some material that wasn't. She poked fun at her sister Anne. Her second act was her third album and her encore was The Story Goes On. She was wonderful.

Did you know that even if you buy your seltzer on sale at $4 for a twelve-bottle case, if your household drinks one case of seltzer a week, you'll spend over $2,000 on seltzer in the next 10 years!

That certainly puts it in perspective, and there is only one logical solution to the seltzer gap.

I hang my head in shame at not recognizing Mr Willison's name.

Matt H. · « **Reply #234 on:** April 04, 2005, 08:08:54 PM »

I am SURE DR JRand knows who Walter Willison is, the Tony-nominated co-star of TWO BY TWO.

Matt H. · « **Reply #235 on:** April 04, 2005, 08:11:24 PM »

Oops. My mistake. I've talked about him a couple of times here, DR JRand, so I figured you'd know who he was. When I saw him in TWO BY TWO all those years ago, I got the HUGEST crush on him. I still think he's wonderful and wish I could see him in more things.

I came across something interesting tonight. Before I started watching some shows recorded on my DVR, I was flipping through some cable movie channels and came across the first James Bond movie DR. NO on Encores Mystery. What was interesting about it was that MGM/UA has rechanneled the sound into a Dolby 2.0 matrixed surround track. The sound on my DR. NO DVD is mono, so this must be something new they've done with the film for its next release on DVD, perhaps when it's released on a high def DVD in the next year. I suspect they've recycled all of the early mono-sound Bonds into Dolby Surround.

And, while it was obviously not recorded this way and there was echo and not a lot of low end to the sound, it was fun hearing the sound effects coming from the surround speakers. I watched the last 45 minutes of it just to see how different an experience it would be with this "new" soundtrack. Very.

Well, dear Walter still hasn't arrived. I'm not sure whether to start a movie or wait. Perhaps I'll give him a buzzerooni.

Matt H. · « **Reply #238 on:** April 04, 2005, 08:18:13 PM »

My goodness, DEADWOOD and DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES certainly had their surprises this week! No wonder these shows are so popular! They continue to surprise and delight their fans.

Matt H. · « **Reply #239 on:** April 04, 2005, 08:21:13 PM »

And '24' concluded tonight with the ultimate terrorist attack. Won't say any more in case someone hasn't seen the end yet, but it was a shocker.
