That's why I don't watch it.

I've never been to Hawaii. I don't think that I ever will.

It wouldn't be my first choice of vacations if I came into a lot of money. Eventually, yes, but it's not high on my list.

Isn't that funny! If I had the money, it's the FIRST place I would go!

It is awful. And they nominated this for Best Musical instead of ON A CLEAR DAY!

Good morning!

Yes, it's still cold, but it's not frigid like we've had the past two days. It's actually getting into the high 30s today and into the 40s tomorrow, much more typical January weather. I like not having to worry about my pipes bursting because of the extreme temperatures.

Overcast today, too. They had predicted a wintry mix, but so far nothing on that score.

I still have a fair amount of material on my DVR: LEVERAGE (which I'll be watching while I eat lunch), MONK, SMALLVILLE, and the movie THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL (which will likely sit there another week since I have so much review material to get through this week).

Matt H. · « **Reply #38 on:** January 18, 2009, 07:35:19 AM »

And I'll be working on CHEERS - The Final Season today as well. Should be able to get a fair number of episodes watched today. It's such a funny show, one I always enjoyed when I watched, but as I wasn't in the TV habit back then (1992-93), there will be plenty of these episodes that I've never seen.

Good morning, everyone.

BK thinks that HIS bones are weary? Ha! He outta come over to my place if he wants to know what weary bones feel like. Or if he wants to know what Still Have a Lot to Do feels like. Oy! And double oy!

My friends Charlie and Todd who work for USAIR do fly out of North Carolina where they live - they also regularly work the flight that crashed this week. But Thursday they were both home with the flu.

The know the pilot and the other FA's who worked the flight. They like the pilot a lot, say he is very friendly and an old movie fan just as they are. They also said the head FA on the downed flight is Donna who has been flying since 1982. She always wears a lot of makeup and tall heels....so they were interested to see her standing in her stockings at the door of the plane helping people off....

Take the Window Out Day was successful. The thing about pushing a heavy piece of furniture out a window is that you have gravity on your side. A little push is all it takes--at least from the top. The trick, of course, is to get it down safely. It appears that that objective was achieved. As far as I know it suffered no damage. Boy, am I glad THAT'S over!

However, I started the day with a frozen pipe. Ugh! Fortunately, Matt had just arrived when I discovered it. This happened ten years ago also and after the first incident I had a small access panel built into the exterior wall of the kitchen. That spot is vulnerable. It's right behind the dishwasher and there isn't room in the wall for much insulation. Keeping the cabinet doors open doesn't help, because the heat can't get back there. Matt removed the access panel ("I can't believe there's a part of your house I don't know about!"), then used a portable heater to thaw the pipe. He used some insulation we had left over from another project to maximize protection. As frozen pipe incidents go, this actually went quickly and smoothly.

Re the pilot: I'm pleased that he and the crew are getting so much attention and praise. Personally, I'd like to see a few more heroes on the landscape. I suspect there are others around who may not get the attention they deserve, partly due to all the stories about corruption and greed.

Just my 2 cents.

Jeanne · « **Reply #46 on:** January 18, 2009, 08:02:25 AM »

Well, more laundry to attend to (I did five loads yesterday) and more....yup, you guessed it! More packing!

A pleasant, relaxed Sunday to the rest of you.

Regarding SKYSCRAPER, who else remembers Charles Nelson Reilly on one of the Tony Awards shows:

"Spare that building
Don't tear it down, no, no, no...

[stops singing to explain] The no-no-no's were added out of town."

Charles was once my publicity client. He was doing THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR at the time.

He was quit a handful.

For DVD and book collectors:

As those of you regulars here know, I am moving from Los Angeles to Austin, TX in late March.

My wife and I have begun the huge job of packing and, yesterday, I finished going through my gigantic collection of DVDs, culling out titles that I will never watch again.

I now have somewhere between 1200-1500 individual titles or box sets (including TV shows) that I would like to get rid of before we leave.

I've promised BK first dibbs, but if any of you other folk who live in/aroud Los Angeles are interested, we can make an appointment and you can come over and peruse what I have to sell.

Unless something is very RARE/OOP, I'm figuring that individual titles will go for $5.00 each and sets will go from between $15-$20.

If you're not in Los Angeles, you can send me a "want list" and I'll see if I have the title. [Sorry there are just too many titles for me to make up a list, but there are a lot of goodies here.]

Those of you who are interested, please send me a private message.

BTW: I haven't finished going through my books yet, but I do have a couple of complete Time-Life Sets currently available for LOCAL purchase, THE EPIC OF FLIGHT and THE SEAFARERS.

Hawaii is a beautiful place, if you don't spend all your time in Honolulu (or Honey-lulu as Dennis the Menace called it when I was a kid). Honolulu reminds me of Seattle with palm trees, but you must visit Pearl Harbor. Unless you are a party animal, I think you would much prefer Kona or Maui.

I'm heading downstairs now to get laundry sorted for washing later and then I'll start thinking about what's for lunch.

At least I slept well for the time I slept.

At some point from the time I went to bed the computer lost the wireless signal, so I had to unplug the modem and router and then re-plug and now all is well.

Funnily, this always seems to happen on Sunday.
