Okay, this is now officially bugging me.  This will NOT do, so let us have a frenzy or three.

This is me returning from seeing "Lawrence of Arabia" on a very impressive home-built 120" screen.

This is me bitch-slapping the errant and truant and they know who they are, and I know they have been busy posting parody videos at Broadway World.

And it was not only a wonderful dinner, but a great first meeting-in-person!

DR Ron Pulliam took me to Asena for dinner. It was Mediterranean restaurant and it really seemed to be a true "Med" rather than focusing on one particular country, cuisine. I believe DR Ron Pulliam said the owners were Turkish.

We started off with their deep-fried artichoke hearts and haloumi-watermelon-arugula salad. Then we moved on to the entrees: Pan-fried Tilapia (Ron) and Italian Eggplant with "Loose Lamb" (a.k.a. ground lamb) for myself. Then we just had to have dessert: Crème Brulée for Ron, and Panna Cotta with Caramel for me - along with a nice Orange Blosson Muscat.

And it was all quite deelish!

Pictures were taken, but, alas, the one time I went to get a pic of DR Ron Pulliam, he also happened to be taking a pic of me... And then Monkey got in the way...

After dinner, DR Ron Pulliam gave me a nice tour of Alameda and Lake Merritt, and then he dropped me off at the BART station...

And once I got back to my hotel, I went ahead and (re-)packed my luggage. I don't need to head to the airport until Noon, so I'll have a few hours in the morning to do some more exploring - a.k.a. eat at the Ferry Building again.

Jose - no pictures of the chocolate shoppe to share?

The shoppe and the "lab" are still "in process", so I refrained from taking any pics except for the exteriors. However, I believe there are some pics on the blog I posted earlier.

And now...

I'm going to get ready for bed. I think yesterday's bicycle ride to and from, across and back the Golden Gate Bridge along with today's "hill climbing" has caught up with me. I need sleep.

Goodnight.

Not really.  She does do a Sherman Brothers medley and Richard will be there.

OK. I was just curious/asking since a bunch of her NYC friends and colleagues are now living out in L.A.

I do recall Andy Williams because I liked the song "Catch a Falling Star" when I was a kid. My grandmother had an album of his amidst the Lawrence Welk and polka albums.

I think that the first time that I heard "Catch a Falling Star" was on The Muppet Show, when Wayne and Wanda sang it...if I remember correctly, a star actually fell and landed in Wayne's pocket and caught on fire and he, of course, went into a panic trying to put out the fire on his clothes! :D

If anyone doesn't know/remember Wayne and Wanda from The Muppet Show, that was the running gag with them...something ALWAYS went wrong with their songs.
