Haines His Way

I began my afternoon viewing with the next episode in THE CLOSET second season set: one of my favorites of the past season. This was the one where Lts. Provinza and Flynn find a body in Provinza's garage, but since they have skybox tickets to see the LA Dodgers play, they postpone calling it in. Of course, the body is gone the next time they look for it.

Very elaborate investigation, and a number of satisfying conclusions.

I don't know which episode Kyra will submit for her Emmy nomination, but she'd be hard pressed to find a better one than this.

There is a TV show called THE CLOSET?  Is it set in Salt Lake City?

I can only afford bats in my belfry!

This was DR Sandra's favorite sight:

 

 

THERE are fairies at the bottom of our garden!
    It's not so very, very far away;
You pass the gardner's shed and you just keep straight ahead --
    I do so hope they've really come to stay.
There's a little wood, with moss in it and beetles,
    And a little stream that quietly runs through;
You wouldn't think they'd dare to come merrymaking there--
          Well, they do.

There are fairies at the bottom of our garden!
    They often have a dance on summer nights;
The butterflies and bees make a lovely little breeze,
    And the rabbits stand about and hold the lights.
Did you know that they could sit upon the moonbeams
    And pick a little star to make a fan,
And dance away up there in the middle of the air?
          Well, they can.

There are fairies at the bottom of our garden!
    You cannot think how beautiful they are;
They all stand up and sing when the Fairy Queen and King
    Come gently floating down upon their car.
The King is very proud and very handsome;
    The Queen--now you can quess who that could be
(She's a little girl all day, but at night she steals away)?
          Well -- it's Me!

My photos of Sophie are also in my other computer, lol perhaps I should go get on the other computer.

I'm sitting here trying to think what I have done to deserve such wonderful friends.  Last year when I was sick, the flowes that were sent and now all this kindess with my Mom gone.  

I feel so humbled and so very, very blessed.  

Well, DR Danise, this is the best site in the universe!  How's your week gone?

My wonderful sibling Randy and his great wife JoAnn have finally cleaned out our dad's RV to put it on the market.  Randy would clean it out for 30 minutes at a time, break down in tears, and have to take a long break.  We still have the house to empty and I think we should hire a crew to do it.

I'm back from the Theatre Library Awards.  The presenters were fascinating and the books all sound quite interesting.  My friend bruce signed my book and I got to visit with Carolyn Weber from the Kurt Weill Foundation. I'll post the five winners in a bit.

Elmore, when my Mom died and we had to clean out the 4000 + SF home she had lived in with my Dad for 35 odd years, stuffed to the gills with stuff and more stuff, we just were ruthless--we got a dumpster and just ripped through the house, bagging up stuff to donate and throwing everything else away.  If you do it quickly, it's not so bad.

Back from rehearsal - I now know at least everything perfunctorily.  This composer will do two verses exactly the same - all the words fit on the notes, then suddenly in the next verse he'll leave out the pickup note and word, and it's just maddening and I HATE HIM!
