BK - it's been a week already - can we not get the clock on track?

This is a javelina. Nice Jaguar pic, Der Brucer. Don't know why he's looking for me, but he's a cutie

But what is he eating? Looks like a pain au chocolat!

Cillaliz · « **Reply #152 on:** March 16, 2008, 02:56:36 PM »

Yup, DR Laura. He was just walking around the houses looking for something to eat. I guess there's a pack of about 10-12 that roam through the Desert Hills area. I'm glad I saw him, but don't think I'd want him mad at me.

I love the quail photo!

Many years ago, Greg and I worked on a documentary about bobwhite quail, featuring Jimmy Carter. We had the premiere at the Carter Center, and he and Rosalyn attended and greeted everyone personally and talked to them about their role in making the film.

The catering included cream puffs, which squirted blops of cream on the floor unexpectedly, so it looked like a covey of frightened quail had been there!

Did I mention I'm in Denver? The song for MY day so far is "Fasten Your Seatbelts" The last one certainly was a bumpy flight. We had a couple of thos rollercoaster moments where you drop and every goes WHOA and then the plane gets really quiet.... But we landed safe and sound. I'm looking forward to getting out of here and on my way, but my flight doesn't board for another hour

Cillaliz · « **Reply #156 on:** March 16, 2008, 03:01:43 PM »

I called my mother when I arrived here (as instructed) and she said when they got back to Green Valley it started sleeting. It wasn't all hunky dory in Tucson either, but so far I'm staying ahead of the weather front. Hoping that continues

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #157 on:** March 16, 2008, 03:04:03 PM »

Oh, wow. I hope we get some rain up here.

We had the picnic inside at the church; no rain, but the little old ladies said it was too cold to go outside for a picnic.

Vibes for Cilla to stay ahead of the bad weather and have a good flight!

Cillaliz · « **Reply #159 on:** March 16, 2008, 03:10:25 PM »

Thanks for the vibes. I must say I didn't quite feel up to par after that last landing. But I found a place in the airport with an electrical outlet and where it is very open with a lot of people passing by, but no one else sitting here. It's also near the regional planes (I'm on a prop plane for the last leg) so the doors keep opening down the hall and there is fresh air coming in. I kicked off my shoes, ate a little pizza and jumped online. I'm feeling much better.

Yeah - it's in the sixties - a regular arctic spell!

Have the ladies had their anti-freeze checked?

Cillaliz, my DH says it is always bumpy air there in Colorado because of the Rocky Mountains nearby. The air comes up from the mountains and makes turbulence.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #162 on:** March 16, 2008, 03:22:59 PM »

At least they didn't turn on the heat in the building today, DerBrucer. It was 70 without it.

I 've been watching a clearly totally wasted as in drunk guy being escorted by a couple cops. They just plopped him in a corner and he looks like he's passed out. They told him to go to sleep and they'll wake himup before his flight.

Yeah, it's always a little bumpy, but there is a storm headed this way, snow etc. It's snowing in the mountains now and Denver has a heavy snow warning, but it's mostly for tomorrow

We loved The Good Shepherd.

We just packed Gabe off to Outdoor School, the one week camp ecology school all Portland Public School sixth graders go to. He is a little nervous about it, and Betsy is a wreck. I'm fine.

LOL, actually the Frontier (well Lynx Aviation) prop planes are really nice. I think they seat, oh, 80 people maybe? Not sure about that, but they are really new and roomy and quite comfortable

One week of relatively unsupervised (read "unchained") six graders loose in the wilderness - who is going to protect Mother Nature!

Ok, time to go walk around and do those necessary things before boarding the plane.
It was nice to be able to hang out here while I was waiting

Of course it is well known in Doctor Who fan circles. But as is becoming evident, it is not very well known among Bruce Kimmel fan circles!

That's all right, we're patient, we'll wait for you to catch up.

The good news is that it looks like we will have a new minister soon. We will meet him in mid-April and vote on whether to hire him or not.

I am putting together a "cheat book" for him, with photos and a sentence or two about each person so he can get to know us all better.

We are home after a ver-r-ry long day in Cincinnati. Church was difficult, emotionally, because a long-time member died this past week and his presence will be greatly missed in that small congregation.

We got to UC just in time for the 2:30 performance of the Student Choreographers' Showcase. Mary Linda choreographed a very colorful springtime piece to "The Winding Path" by Anzan. She danced in what I think was a girl-power goddess piece to "Sumerigusa" by Enya. At the end of May, she will be in CCM's production of Swan Lake. We also made plans to attend the musical theatre deparment class of 2008 showcase, which will be early in April.

We tried to go to Lenhardt's, an old Hungarian restaurant near campus, but they were closed today. We went down the street to a Chinese place called The Red Pepper - lousy service and disappointing food. I predicted my fortune cookie would say, "You will never patronize this establishment again," but it really said, "You have a deep appreciation of music and arts."

There is an elite subset universe where the two intersect!

der Brucer

Oh, Doctor Who fandom intersects with all sorts of other interest groups.

Fans of the writings of Thomas Hardy and other classic British authors, who also are fans of the Whoniverse, for example, comprise the subset known as the Tesseract of the d'Ubervilles group.

Such lovely photos of all kinds today.

I like BLOOD BROTHERS, really enjoy the London Cast CD - I saw it with the Cassidy boys and Ms Petula Clark, so it was a fun evening....

Well if truth be told, I really don't like DOCTOR WHO in any of its forms even its most current. I don't watch it and have never enjoyed it. So for me the hook between it and TORCHWOOD has always been tenuous to say the least.

Mann and Weil - loved their songs for WILD IN THE STREETS, too.
