While I was cleaning my bathroom tonight, I decided to put the Christmas music on hold and I put on that marvelous old RCA Vintage LP with Helen Morgan, Chevalier, Fanny Brice, Bebe Daniels, Everett MArshall, John Boles, and Jeanette MacDonald and just basked in their golden glow.

I'm really looking forward to getting that set of early Ernst Lubitsch musicals that Criterion is putting out in a couple of months.

I feel younger than springtime and older than Methusala all at once. Who in HELL was Methusala anyway? What did he have to do with old?

Well, he lived 900 years...

I already have my big love cat lying on my arm as I type. I'm glad to be home with him! All kitties are well and happy.

BTW, those of you who saw our DVD will have recognized some of Dakota's lovely artwork in it. You can tell I'm a city girl: when she first mentioned to me that she had included some COWS, I was at a loss. Then she said something like, "Well, they ARE a HHW theme." How right she was! Once I stopped hitting my head I had to agree. I'm so glad Amy was able to work them in. We gotta have our cows, by golly!

I thought I heard Santa coming down the street. Every year the Fire Department goes around with Santa on a Fire truck but I guess this time it was a real emergency.

Hey, we used to do this in our old neighborhood. My job was keeping kids from getting run over by the truck, which involved inhaling a lot of exhaust.

The celebrations in our new neighborhoo are much more civilized!

Hope there are no fires near you!

You gotta milk those cows for all they've got.

Welcome home, Amy. Not that you left HHW. It sounds like you had quite an interesting trip.

Three more bags o'stuff have made their way to the trash room since my last clutter call.

When I finally settled back down in the den, I began watching more LOST episodes. One more commentary came around, the episode dealing with Nikki and Paulo who had just joined the cast this year but supposedly had been on the island with the survivors all along.

Well, I drank some water, made some tea (some de-stress, sleepy-time deal with valerian root in it), and stretched out on the couch for a bit. My head feels a lot better now. And now I'm ready for some sleep. Thanks for the vibes.

Goodnight.

The LOST transfers look very sharp and colorful for sDVDs. I wish I could see the Blu-rays to do a comparison, but they do look about as good as TV transfers can look in standard definition.

Tomorrow I'll be beginning with episode 16 (out of 23).

This kid needs to think about getting some sleep.

Good night.

At 9, I did take a little break from the island and watched DEXTER. This was the penultimate episode of the season, and I was on the edge of my seat the entire episode, and the previews for next week look equally compelling. What a mesmerizing story it has been this season. I have NO idea how it will all work out.

Oops, can't go yet.

May your dental work be as pain-free as possible!

Some of you have already seen our video online. Others have requested a DVD copy. I'll leave it to Amy to decide how open we can be with the online site; it's borrowed and we don't wish to abuse it. We will provide DVD copies, but may ask for a nominal fee, yet to be determined.

I don't want to post the server link on this site, but any DR who wants to see it, please email me or PM me and I'll send you the link.

Likewise, if anyone has a slow connection and needs a DVD, send me your email. I've already sent out a few and will try to get out more this weekend.

If my mailbox gets full, let me know.

I'll admit the BK birthday DVD made me cry - and I was at work the first time I watched it!

Making people cry is my specialty. And sometimes my editing has that effect, too!

Jose, or anyone, do you know if Whole Foods sells gift certificates? I can't find any on their site.

They do sell them in their stores...always a great gift!

Well I DID sing, I just didn't make the cut...maybe that's a good thing

Cilla, your singing was great---I just decided I'd use you in an instrumental section so the singing didn't work there.

But I'll make sure it's on the "Expanded Edition" that we will release on the anniversary!

It made me cry too.

Actually, it made me cry, too as many times as I saw it. And I do like to tug the heartstrings a bit as well as make people laugh. Gardeners always used to tell me that my gardening show would make then cry at the end, but in a good way.

Well then, I want to sing, TOO! Nothing elaborate....a few bars of Sondheim....

DerBrucer....many THANKS for sending me the link via PM. A VERY enjoyable DVD greeting card, I must say.

Almost midnight here, so I'm off to bed.

Thanks for this...and all the voices of concern over the past day...and be assured I'll face that endodontist with all the steeled nerves you'd expect.

But lordy me it's weighing on me something awful right now!

I've no particular fear of dentistry. Give me no pain and I won't bite the hand holding the drill. But the timing just plain SUX!

Santa made some early rounds today in the offices of the General Services Agency. There will be some surprised folks in the morning.

I'm a little teary-eyed right now. I came home to find out that the conductor I assisted for over 10 years for the Atlanta Pops Orchestra died. I wasn't sure if he was still alive (he has been in a home for years---he was 97 and his mother lived to 101!) but it made me sad to know for sure that he isn't.

There will be a memorial service this weekend---I guess I'll find out who from our orchestra is still around.

TCM is getting ready to run The Iron Horse right now.

One thing I didn't see in the video...which might be possible in the expanded edition....was a "visual" of a plate (or pot or bowl) of "wacky noodles."

Or....were they in there and I just didn't know what I was seeing?

And oh-my-gracious-sakes-alive! Could there have BEEN more photos of folks sitting at dinner tables?

Food...it does a body good!
