Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of both squash and Squash, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently playing cow Squash.

And the word of the day is: INTROMIT!

Morning all.
That is all.

Happy Birthday to Mr. Pogue
-
Tuesday morning greetings! It's so foggy in Savannah this morning that we can't even see the river, much less South Carolina on the other side. Getting ready to head to St. Augustine after maybe a little more exploring here.

Happiest of birthdays to DR Charles Pogue!

It is your Birthday Mr. Pogue- Be Happy - Be Very Happy!

Good Weather VIBES to Ginny andRichard today on the 30th anniversay of the first day of their honeymoon
-
It snowed again last night - not a lot - just enough to freeze the cars up - so I must go and defrost
-
I have played softball, minature golf, tried "REAL" golf (I was terrible), bowling and raquetball (when I met Vixdad he had a raquetball club memeber ship - I preferred the jacuzzi to the court)
-
Good Weather VIBES to Ginny andRichard today on the 30th anniversay of the first day of their honeymoon
Thanks, DR Vixmom - I'd been thinking of today as the first day of our 4th decade of marriage, but your take is much more romantic!
-
And the word of the day is: INTROMIT!
And The Song Of The Day Is: WILLKOMMEN
-
Good morning, all! I am having lots of dreams involving dead relatives and I'm not sure what to make of it; last night's involved my grandmother's house (I think) in Appalachian Kentucky, a snowstorm, my mother in a crabby mood, my dad, others including several cousins, an adorable gray shorthaired kitten, and a heavy snow. All I remember now is the arrival of company, the fact that I was stark naked and having to walk back in the snow to the house to find some clothes, and the kitten playing in the snow and its confrontation with a large white cat. Another weird dream.
I should be doing laundry at the moment, but I have no drive to accomplish it, so I'm postponing it until tomorrow. I do have to leave here around 10 and head down to Toyland. I have several Act One edits to accomplish before I meet Mr Skip Kennon for a round of edits on the Appendix numbers.
DR cillaliz, I could use a mimosa as well.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday to our DR CharlesPogue !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happiest of Birthdays to my neighbor - DR CP!

Happy Birthday, Charles Pogue.

TOD:
Like you BK, I don't play or watch sports.

Mimosas to all.

We had this young couple over to the house for dinner last night. He's a distant cousin and she's his g.f., 22-years old and a college student.
Maybe it's me. I have no idea. But, over the course of the evening, names like Orson Welles, Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, John Dillinger, Al Capone, Jesse James, Billy the Kid, Joe Biden, John Lennon and Charlie Chaplin (whose picture was on the wall) came up, and she had absolutely no idea who were were talking about.

Happy, happy, DR CharlesPogue.

It's odd, because you can have hit TV shows that are all about knowing the cultural references and still have a generation that knows nothing. And doesn't care about knowing anything.
Sad thing is, I've stopped caring about knowing anything about the younger generation, such as all those unknowns at the Golden Globes the other night.
-
TOD: No interest in sports, either. Unless you are one of those who believe ballroom dancing is a sport. Then, guilty.
-
And where has January gone? I start classes today. I think. Still trying to figure this online program out.
-
It might be a nice day here. Temperature is already 52 degrees and, for a change in the last week or more, the sun is out.
-
Happy Happy Birthday, Charles Pogue!
-
Cheers to DR Pogue!

Mucho thanks, for the birthday felicitations, all!
I'm celebrating by teaching a bunch of young aspiring filmmakers about screenwriting this week. This morning I shall show them the beginnings of several movies...most of which none of them have ever seen. This goes to Druxy's lament above. I am frequently dumbfounded that younger folk have no cultural touchstones outside their own generation, particularly those who want to be in show business. It seems to me you need to know something about the history and legacy of the trade you wish to be in. But it's even larger than just cultural...they have no historical context in general.
TOD: Like several others, I have little interest in sporting events. I enjoy the aesthetics of baseball and watch it occasionally on the TV and go to a game every now and then. But if my team...The Cincinnati Reds...is not doing well mid-way into the season, I lose interest and don't look at the sports page again until spring training. I played some junior league baseball and some high school football and hated every minute of it..mostly did it because of peer pressure. It frustrated a lot of coaches because I was very fast and built like Tarzan in my youth. I was athletic, without being an athlete...but preferred non-competitive endeavours like swimming (I was a very good swimmer), walking, jogging, isometrics and other body-building programs.

Change of plan: Mr Skip Kennon cannot make it today for reasons of health and so I will head down to the NYPL Theatre Collection to spend some time on the Historic Newspapers Online. This is good.
I once again managed to burn a pan of boiling eggs by forgetting they were on a high boil and working on another project, in this case my subway and tax rceipts. Damn! I do this far too often.

:'(
It's the same thing with my 19 year old nephew, though he is very much a John Lennon fan (along with the rest of the Beatles.)
It is pretty much impossible to get him to watch any movie made before 1995. If it's in black & white, forget it--he will not even sit in the same room. Judging from what I read on Twitter, he's not very different from others in his generation.
-

Well, that's better than having it. I'm sure she's relieved. And in need of qualified doctors.

This is why colorization is coming back. And no one seems to be speaking out against it.
-
On the other hand, I could see the younger generations point about some old movies--last night I watched A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT on TCM. What a colossal bore! And yet it was a hit in its initial release. Go figure...
-
DR ELMORE check out Allison Hayes and Frances Farmer on Historic Newspapers, you may find some good reading. Does Allison have a file at NYPL?
-
DR TCB - no rush to watch the DVD is necessary.
-
TOD: yesterday
Atlas Shrugged
But most of the people I would like to cast are no longer active in Hollywood - or anywhere else for that matter.
-
TOD:
Played Basketball, Baseball, Football with my brothers and other relatives and friends.
Watch Hockey and MMA Fights on TV at times.
I think Hockey is my favorite sport to watch.....HD Hockey is most entertaining and I am sure it is even better in 3D but without Diffusion.

DR JOSE you are up early for your first relaxing day of 2011.

In my younger days, I played baseball, basketball, volleyball and touch football.

I use hairspray all the time.
Since I am very sensitive to scents I am always very careful. I would obviously never spray perfume on myself. And if I try a new hand cream I smell it carefully first (I am usually good for things that are chocolate, mint, fruit...).
I always try on make-up and handcreams at Sephora. And since my hair was unstyled I went for the hairspray. I did even smell it after one spray and I didn't smell anything. But OMG I really thought I was going to die. I couldn't believe it. My head just immediately hurt a lot. :(

I wonder what they will do for a replacement?
I have to say that there are a few people who replace him often who I love watching with Kelly (anderson cooper, jeff probst). But there are some i really don't like watching. I just hope they don't choose one of those people.

ATLAS SHRUGGED has been announced at various times. I remember it was supposed to be a 4 hour miniseries with Faye Dunaway at some point. It seems to me more recently Angelina Jolie was mentioned as the star of a film adaptation.

Yes, I represented both Sammy and his frequent collaborator, Paul Francis Webster.
They were icons and I'm very proud of the fact that I earned their trust and friendship.
I have a chapter about them in my book.
-
Yup DR JMK - that version has been touted for about 4 years now.....hopefully it won't make it past the "announcing" stage....with Angelina.
-
Fain and Webster.......
"Love Is a Many Splendored Thing" - some songs are perfect for the movies, and are perfect otherwise as well.
Score for CALAMITY JANE.....
Favorite not so well known song - "A Very Precious Love" from MARJORIE MORNINGSTAR - even with Gene Kelly singing it....

To me, Sammy Fain's best was "Flahooley." What an amazing score. So what if the book didn't work? "You, Too, Can Be a Puppet," "Who Says There Ain't No Santa Claus?" "Jump, Little Chillun'" and "Here's to Your Illusions" all work beautifully.

In 1991, I started work at the Sarasota Herald-Tribune as a copy editor. I had a desk near a woman about my age (then late 20s), who literally had no idea who the Beatles were. She wanted an explanation in a story because they were referenced and she was lost.
She was not allowed to add anything because the rest of the copy desk wanted to rise up and strike her. Calmer heads prevailed and she escaped uninjured. Physically. She was scorned for years after that.

I suppose so but it is the female lead who ties the story together, and she had better be darn believable as someone men should fall in love with & be worthy of John Galt.

In related news...
A few months ago, Steve found out that he was not allergic to certain scents and oils in lotions, soaps and shampoos. However, he did find out that he was allergic to a preservative that is used in a lot of lotions, soaps and shampoos - including some meant for "sensitive skin". And after some research - a.k.a. Google-ing - he found out that it's quite a common allergy, and, alas, it's one that gets un- or mis-diagnosed.
It may be worth investigating.

It is quite an interesting situation. I'm guessing all of those reporters are now going back to see which "doctor" and/or "close personal friend" confirmed the news back then.

After a nice leisurely morning, I believe I'm going to brave the cold and slush and head out for a bit to take care of some errands, as well get some fresh air.

Interesting though the outcome is the same.. Are you saying he only needs to smell them to get sick? I would expect they need to be used on the skin to cause a reaction.
With a severe headache reaction you don't need to come in physical contact with the product, only smell it.
I know I am sensitive to many preservatives in eye products so I'm sure they could be bothersome in other products.

I've never had any reaction to any shampoos or make-up. Usually it is just perfume. I have tried some hand lotions that bothered me enough that i would not use them. But I never got a headache from one.
I have never had a reaction to hairspray before. Btw i think the brand was Living Proof.
Interestingly when I smell hand creams, the ones that don't bother me at all are always things like milk, strawberry, banana, chocolate, vanilla, mint, candy ...

I use hairspray all the time.
Since I am very sensitive to scents I am always very careful. I would obviously never spray perfume on myself. And if I try a new hand cream I smell it carefully first (I am usually good for things that are chocolate, mint, fruit...).
I always try on make-up and handcreams at Sephora. And since my hair was unstyled I went for the hairspray. I did even smell it after one spray and I didn't smell anything. But OMG I really thought I was going to die. I couldn't believe it. My head just immediately hurt a lot. :(
I've had those sudden onsets of headaches from scents. They are not fun & of course they always happen in public.
In related news...
A few months ago, Steve found out that he was not allergic to certain scents and oils in lotions, soaps and shampoos. However, he did find out that he was allergic to a preservative that is used in a lot of lotions, soaps and shampoos - including some meant for "sensitive skin". And after some research - a.k.a. Google-ing - he found out that it's quite a common allergy, and, alas, it's one that gets un- or mis-diagnosed.
It may be worth investigating.
Oh, it's definitely a contact allergy situation, but he found that some aerosol'd products also contain preservatives, and if those get inhaled, well...

DR Jane, I thoroughly enjoyed LABYRINTH. I think because it had to do with The Grail Legend(s).

I have been up since nine-thirty and inundated with stuff I'd really not rather be dealing with. I did some futzing and fixing and have managed to write a whole half page because every two seconds I am interrupted by people. Like just now. Singers are coming by, our rehearsal schedule for next week is now turning difficult thanks to Tuesday being Juliana's birthday and her being out of town that day - she, of course, thinks it's simple for her to come on Monday or Wednesday, but that requires the MD to come as well, and she's doing two duets so that screws up her singing partner's rehearsal. And I will not allow only one rehearsal - that's what happened on the first two Gardenia shows and it totally does not work. We'll see how it all plays out.
Best news is that not only will Richard Sherman be at the show, but he's now our special guest star and will be singing Feed The Birds.

Wow! This is excellent news. Hopefully I will win the Powerball this week.

DR RLP is right....DR JMK is right.....and of course DR JANE is right, too. RE: John Galt/Atlas Shrugged
Of course NBC could do the show with the cast of 30 ROCK or THE OFFICE......
-
TCM has several episodes of Screen Director's Playhouse tonight starting at 8 p.m. EST......a television series produced at the Hal Roach Studios......looks interesting.
I have written two pages today....getting started.
-
How interesting that "Atlas Shrugged" is announced for high-profile women stars....when it's John Galt who is central and should be of -- IMO -- the greatest interest to any and every one.
I suppose so but it is the female lead who ties the story together, and she had better be darn believable as someone men should fall in love with & be worthy of John Galt.
All too often, they don't cast men who meet this qualification.
"Who is John Galt?" is one of the seminal literary catch phrases of the last 50 years.
If it was me, I'd start by finding a John Galt. He will make or break the film (if the screenplay serves the novel correctly). Of course, the casting of Dagny Taggart and Hank Reardon is most crucial. and their involvement/love story will be the heart of the film.

Tuesday afternoon greetings from St. Augustine, FL, America's oldest city! We checked out of our hotel and put our luggage in the car, which was parked in the hotel garage and where we could remain parked. We explored some of Savannah's River Street - I did some shopping, but, alas DR Jose, the Candy Kitchen was closed for remodeling. And, drat, I had a 15% off coupon!
We returned to the car about noon and headed south, making a lunch stop and a stop at the Jacksonville Apple Store for a new power cord for Richard's computer. I tried to log on here from the Apple Store, but the site was blocked on their computers. We got to our hotel about 45 minutes ago.
-
I've never had any reaction to any shampoos or make-up. Usually it is just perfume. I have tried some hand lotions that bothered me enough that i would not use them. But I never got a headache from one.
I have never had a reaction to hairspray before. Btw i think the brand was Living Proof.
Interestingly when I smell hand creams, the ones that don't bother me at all are always things like milk, strawberry, banana, chocolate, vanilla, mint, candy ...
Vanilla or cinnamon are scents I tend to prefer.

Inhaling can be worse than contact sometimes. Parmesan cheese was a difficult food for me to avoid, especially at restaurants where they grate it fresh at the table. Over the years I have developed a tolerance to it & can now eat it most of the time without a severe reaction. If I breathe it I will have trouble breathing.

True, he has to be far better than the other guys who mustn't be slouches. :)

OK, we've moved rooms because the air conditioner in our first one would have kept us awake all night. This one is much quieter.

DR Jane, I thoroughly enjoyed LABYRINTH. I think because it had to do with The Grail Legend(s).
Thank you for your feedback. I'm very surprised you didn't have anything to say regarding WOLF HALL.

We are going to venture out for some dinner - bye for now!

I once again managed to burn a pan of boiling eggs by forgetting they were on a high boil and working on another project ...
You should bury them in the backyard. That's what DR Sandra does when she misboils eggs.
How long does it take for the chickens to sprout?

I used to get yelled at for taking Bryan out in the winter without a coat on. It wasn't my doing he refused to wear one. He still rarely wears coats & it has to be freezing before he needs to bundle up.

That was great, Cillaliz.
-
Lord amighty - one interruption after another. I've somehow managed to do three pages, but I suspect if I'm going to do any more it will be after the work session with The Singer. But I also made some further adjustments to two other sections of the book and that involved some additions, so I've written four pages, really. Still, I just couldn't get a flow going, which is how I work. Every time I'd get going, the phone would ring or I'd have to respond to an e-mail or someone came by. It was maddening.
-
That was great, Cillaliz.
It sure was.
-
Cilla, regarding yesterday's discussion, you really need to find someone who will make sure that your wishes are followed to the letter to your three babies. MY friends Sharry and Michael are not really cat people; in fact they have four large dogs (2 Saints, a Bernise, and one something else), but they know how important Nicky is to me. I really care less about my possessions especially after I die; but it would kill me (bad pun) to see anything terrible happen to Nick. You really need to find someone that you can trust, and make sure that it iis all spelled out in your will.
-
The nerve of me telling a lawyer about legal matters. ;D

The nerve of you to have priorities, TCB. (I feel the same way about J.B., and since he could easily live another 20 years after me, you know I made sure it was spelled out as clearly as possible. He's going to bird people in Florida where he'll be loved and protected.)
-
A very Happy Birthday to our very
infrequent poster, DR Charles Pogue.
-
Sometimes the will is not looked at until some time later. You might want to also write out your wishes regarding your pets and put it with your living will or other important papers where it will be found right away. It may not be a LEGAL document, but at least whoever is around when someone needs to make a decision about your pets would find it. Did that make sense?

Learned a little while ago that one of my best friends had a heart attack earlier today. He lives in Connecticut and I was hoping to see him when I went to Saratoga Springs in February. I hope can. His wife posted on Facebook that he was having an angiogram today. Don't know any more.
-
Joshie is feeling much better today. Maybe the antibiotic is making the mouth ulcers heal. Or maybe the biopsy spot has healed. He is really liking the canned food.
-
We had this young couple over to the house for dinner last night. He's a distant cousin and she's his g.f., 22-years old and a college student.
Maybe it's me. I have no idea. But, over the course of the evening, names like Orson Welles, Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, John Dillinger, Al Capone, Jesse James, Billy the Kid, Joe Biden, John Lennon and Charlie Chaplin (whose picture was on the wall) came up, and she had absolutely no idea who were were talking about.
:'(
It's the same thing with my 19 year old nephew, though he is very much a John Lennon fan (along with the rest of the Beatles.)
It is pretty much impossible to get him to watch any movie made before 1995. If it's in black & white, forget it--he will not even sit in the same room. Judging from what I read on Twitter, he's not very different from others in his generation.
This is why colorization is coming back. And no one seems to be speaking out against it.
I see nothing wrong with colorization as long as both versions remain available.
-
Once again, thanks all for the lovely B'day wishes!

Prayers for your friend, John G. How scary it is getting older!

Yes. I've read horror stories of pets being taken to the pound instead of a neighbor or friend taking them. Of course I suspect where the person lived has something to do with it.

On the other hand, I could see the younger generations point about some old movies--last night I watched A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT on TCM. What a colossal bore! And yet it was a hit in its initial release. Go figure...
I love that movie! In fact, I have always thought that someone should make a book out of it.

Whoops! My apologies. When you mentioned going to Sephora yesterday, I assumed it was some kind of Jewish meeting center.

Last night I finished reading NORTH & SOUTH on the Nook and the next page was the beginning of OLIVER TWIST. Since I have only read it once I am reading it again. I've also found out where the table of contents is ;D I wasn't motivated enough last night to search for it limiting my book options.

So...
Aretha Franklin does not have cancer. And, apparently, never did. Hmmm... ???
Not that I'm following the story closely, however, I don't believe she ever said she had cancer. I thought only certain news writers were reporting she had, or possibly, had cancer.
It is quite an interesting situation. I'm guessing all of those reporters are now going back to see which "doctor" and/or "close personal friend" confirmed the news back then.
Perhaps someone told her that eating would cure cancer!

Thanks. It was about 4:30 when they called me and it was snowing on top of the icy roads and single digit temps. I was very happy that I didn't have to do the 5 hour round trip in the car tomorrow. I would have had to leave at 6:30 am, yuck
-
Last night I had a hard time getting to sleep....then at 1:30am....1:30 am....a guy came with a blade on a truck...a very noisy truck, and tool about 1/2 hour clearing my neighbors very short driveway. I'll admit I finally yelled out the door, that people were trying to sleep... I'm sure he didn't hear me, but I felt better, although I didn't get to sleep for a couple more hours
-
1:30 a.m.?? That's crazy!
-
1:30 a.m.?? That's crazy!
I KNOW!!! I realize these guys have been working nonstop, but there is no reason that he needed to do it at 1:30 am

goodnight

Oh TOD - Sports - I like to play volleyball. Never played in school other than PE but did play intramural in law school. I like to bowl. I even have a bowling trophy for being on a team that won our league. I also got most improved that year, haven't played in a while, but would like to again. I like to watch college football and basketball, although I'm not as into it as I used to be. Don't care about pro sports. I enjoy baseball once in a while, but get a little bored watching it. When I was in elementary school I was the only girl who played kickball at recess. I was pretty good too!
I started playing basketball in jr high and started track too, but I strained both of my ankles and pretty much gave up on school sports after that. I was in pep band though and really loved being outside at the football games. My favorite basketball was when I played in the Women's Basketball Band at KU. It was really fun to watch them play
I liked speed ball in pe, it was like soccer, which I also enjoyed. Never was into tennis or golf but have tried both of them. I like sports on the Wii.
Think that about does it
-
It would be fun to find a bowling league again. I should check it out. The only problem is the season is REALLY long, usually September to May, too long to do something once a week.
-
Growing up we used to shoot baskets in the driveway, I loved playing around the world and horse
-
My DH enjoyed the Atlanta weather reports and the synchronized swimming videos.

I do not play sports. Of any kind.

I get a little kick out of watching the Amazon sales rankings spike on some of these lesser known titles I review. I just reviewed a nice Harmonia Mundi release of the lesser known Gounod opera Mireille, and the sales rank went from 143,134, to around 15K after the review. Of course that probably means 2 people bought it LOL. :)

I have been up since nine-thirty and inundated with stuff I'd really not rather be dealing with. I did some futzing and fixing and have managed to write a whole half page because every two seconds I am interrupted by people. Like just now. Singers are coming by, our rehearsal schedule for next week is now turning difficult thanks to Tuesday being Juliana's birthday and her being out of town that day - she, of course, thinks it's simple for her to come on Monday or Wednesday, but that requires the MD to come as well, and she's doing two duets so that screws up her singing partner's rehearsal. And I will not allow only one rehearsal - that's what happened on the first two Gardenia shows and it totally does not work. We'll see how it all plays out.
Best news is that not only will Richard Sherman be at the show, but he's now our special guest star and will be singing Feed The Birds.
Nice!

I think i figured out my Sundays though, sleep till i wake up, listen to about 5 hrs of music, then take a walk before it gets dark. That seemed to calm me down a lot last Sunday. It was fun too.
