I have been on a mad house-cleaning jag all day. Besides, getting refrigerators and garbage disposals fixed, I have been straightening and sorting and cleaning up debris that's been around here since Christmas. Oh, I feel saintly and pure!

Der Brucer confirmed yesterday that we will NOT be joining everyone for JTOB weekend. We simply cannot leave the dogs for that long a day. When we had just the five, the trip would have been feasable (although we would have had to kennel Fletcher), but the addition of Peggy and the Pups countered that.

Sorry. We were looking forward to meeting (and re-meeting) everyone.

I understand but I am so very sorry we won't be treated to the pleasure of your and Dear Uncles company.

I was looking forward to meeting you both.

International Herald Tribune, Paris, today:

A musical based on the 1942 movie "Casablanca" will make its world debut in Beijing next month, the Xinhua news agency said.
The film starred Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman as former lovers who meet again in Casablanca, Morocco, during World War II.
The stage version will feature tap dance numbers and the theme "As Time Goes By," Xinhua said.
The premiere is scheduled for April 8-12 at the Great Hall of the People, the seat of China's legislature.

I guess the.... tap dance numbers will feature the Foreign Legion!! LOL!

Class!

I'm "so sorry" that Elizabeth Jagger and her boyfriend can't afford a hotel room to have sex, and I "love" that British judge who ruled that they had a "legitimate expectation of privacy" when they engaged in sexual activities just INSIDE a nightclub's doors Feb. 17.

Am I too old fashioned if I say that, to me, those people -- judge included -- are full of ..... sh.t?
Mama Morton; whatever happened to CLASS?

Frightening news François.

I now have the Frank Sinatra song "French Foreign Legion" song playing in my head. (Not quite a Miss Saigon reference).

Danise · « **Reply #128 on:** March 11, 2005, 05:26:46 PM »

I think it got confused with the word, "CRASS". Or maybe that's just me.

François de Paris · « **Reply #129 on:** March 11, 2005, 05:28:16 PM »

Oh...for those who are not in the know;

Elizabeth Jagger is the daughter of Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall.
Her boyfriend, Calum Best, is the son of former soccer star (!?) George Best.

No need to say more!
We do live in wonderful times!

François de Paris · « **Reply #130 on:** March 11, 2005, 05:31:26 PM »

Hummmm...

Since those British people need a life... may I suggest they STAR in the soon to open musical
MAISON BLANCHE???

I mean "CASABLANCA"!

They could have sex ON STAGE while ... tap dancing!

Am I too.... French?

I am hoping that DR can help me choose what to watch this weekend.

What are your top choices for DVDs that you would recommend as "Testers" for widescreen tvs and surround sound?

Michael · « **Reply #132 on:** March 11, 2005, 06:11:16 PM »

On my IPOD: Listening to the great late Laurie Beechman sing God Bless Us Everyone from No One Is Alone album. What a wonderful track!

I'm guessing Laurel and Hardy is the wrong answer.

OH, MY!

A B I G NO NO - nanette! - here!

NEVER post BEFORE reading the notes! NEVER!

or, at least, don't reveal it!

Is it any better if I skimmed the notes and read the topic of the day?

I am truthful no matter what. I find I have much better luck always telling the truth than trying to lie or withhold the truth sometimes.

I never saw the movie version of JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN (is there only one with Timothy Bottoms as Joe?) but I did see the Circle Rep production starring Jeff Daniels in 1982. It was a one man show and it was and is still one of the finest pieces I have ever seen in the theatre. I could barely move out of the theatre after the performance. I don't usually write fan letters but I wrote a letter to Mr. Daniels about the power of the piece and his performance.

I can easily imagine how emotional the JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN theatre viesion was and I’d love to see it if it’s replayed someday somewhere.

"The Red Violin" is a wonderful DTS Stereo viewing/listening experience.

It was my first DTS video and it blew me away!

Good Evening!

Back from my dinner date, and a fine dinner and date it was.

-Actually, the service was a little slow and sketchy, but once the food arrived, it was quite delish. He, David, selected a place here in the neighborhood - the menu was a bit varied, but seemed to feature both Cajun and Tex-Mex items.

The conversation was sparkling, and we have lots in common too. One thing we, unfortunately, had in common was that we both happened to be a little tired tonight. The week had caught up with both of us. -And he has to be up at 7:00 tomorrow to go into work. Yikes! We're gonna try to get together again sometime tomorrow night or on Sunday.

But even though we both were a little tired tonight, we had a very good time.
