Jane - good advice for DR Sandra. I chose not to attend my Master's ceremony and have regretted it for 33 years.

Sandra is lucky to have family that wants to see her graduate. Keith wasn’t overly interested in attending his graduations (Bachelor & Masters) nor did we have the cost of admission. Most of all, his parents would not have been interested in attending. You can bet we were very interested when our boys graduated.

Danise how far from Hillsborough and the fires are you?

Jennifer, refunds for service don’t really cut it when the loss is far greater than the actual service.

Cillaliz, no wonder you cancelled your trip to San Francisco. Good vibes while you work through this. While I'm at it, good house selling vibes.

'night

Jane, I was also wondering if she was close to the fires.

Congrats to DR Sandra on her graduation!

Update -- I finally broke down and went to Trader Joe's to get some Granny Smith apple slices. No need to join AA (Apple-Eaters Anonymous) -- I got my fix.

Healing vibes, DR Jane!

Here in lovely La Jolla. The clock says it's 8 pm but to me, it feels like 11 pm.

Let's see if this post works.

FJL · « **Reply #187 on:** May 10, 2006, 08:07:22 PM »

It worked. Now I have to go catch up. See you guys later.

Mail delivery is really weird. Usually when I get my confirmation from Amazon on Monday that my items have shipped, I get them on Wednesday.

This week, I got my confirmation on Sunday, and they didn't come yesterday or today! Weird, I say!

I finished MAMMY with Al Jolson when I turned the set back on. There were only about 15 minutes (if that) left. A fairly uneventful ending, but Al got to sing "Let Me Sing, and I'm Happy" once again. He sang it three times during the course of the movie.

Really enjoyed the ending of FALLEN ANGEL. I didn't guess the identity of the murderer, and I was disappointed in myself for not even coming close.

Matt H. · « **Reply #191 on:** May 10, 2006, 08:37:24 PM »

ALIAS, well, the best I can say is that we're one episode closer to it being over.

spoiler - - - - - - -

I wanted to feel a great joy at the reunion of Vaughn and Syndey, and I honestly felt nothing.

LOST -

Did anyone else jump out of his seat a few minutes into the show tonight. My heart almost stopped beating!

The rest was really interesting and confirmed some of my suspicions about the island.

Matt H. · « **Reply #193 on:** May 10, 2006, 08:39:28 PM »

I was under the mistaken impression that tonight was the season finale of INVASION, but it wasn't. There's still one episode left, and it couldn't get much more exciting!

Sure do hope this gets another season!

Matt H. · « **Reply #194 on:** May 10, 2006, 08:40:15 PM »

As for IDOL, I was disappointed but not especially surprised.

I was clearly thrilled with who landed among the top vote getters!

Congrats, Ginny! Sounds like a good deal for you!

Thanks for all your graduation messages to DR Sandra. She finally had her final final today, and she is recovering. I'll have her log on and read them. Of course there will be photos tomorrow.

Returned from OF THEE I SING, a goofy and fun bit of entertainment. The basic premise is to put their candidate for President over, a political party holds a contest for him to find a wife. He ends up falling for one of the event organizers, thus upsetting the girl who is chosen to be his wife. Much merriment ensues, not particularly biting political satire, but still fairly trenchant. Good tap dancing and fun staging. Probably the best and most completely staged of this year's ENCORES series.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #198 on:** May 10, 2006, 09:25:09 PM »

Oh, yes, many congrats to Sandra the Student. Why, I remember when she was writing paper after paper. Now she has reached the end o' the line.

Not to be contrary, but I attended neither my undergrad nor graduate commencement exercises, and I have never regretted it. My schools were large though, and you just stood up when they said, 'College of Liberal Arts' or whatever. They never called out individual names. It wasn't personal enough for me to get excited about.

That's what it will be tomorrow. And she will sit with her friend in the business department.

I would love to have seen Victor Garber in this. He would have been perfect casting as Wintergreen.

Note: this was the first musical ever to be voted the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

I was very pleased with the outcome. The departed contestant had pretty much done all he could do to show his stuff while the others seem to have the capacity for more surprises.

I've been fairly certain the past five or six weeks that the guy who left tonight had nothing "new" to show us, and he's proven me right week after week.

It's also my belief that this outcome best serves my favorite contestant, whom no one I know ever would have believed would be in the final three. The evictee's votes will go toward one of the other contestants, most likely....and I think my favorite may benefit.

Put out the lights......the party's over......

Back from the Pasadena Playhouse, a quick trip to Du-Par's for pie, and then back home to meet up with Mr. Kevin Spirtas, who delivered the camera tapes so we can now edit his show for DVD, which I'll start in a week.

In the meantime, here is a photograph of the very sweet and very pretty Miss Jessica Rush, taken this very evening in the forecourt of the Pasadena Playhouse.
