Hi divarobbie. Did you meet with the board yet today?

Panni · « **Reply #31 on:** September 26, 2004, 12:18:27 PM »

Just came back from the market. Got some lovely tomatoes and peaches. I sampled some strawberries and they were to die for -- but I'm not much of a strawberry eater, so didn't buy any. That's all the exciting news from here. I don't think I'll be posting much today, so you'll have to manage without me.

Have a nice day while you aren't posting.

Jose got a disco workout on the keyboard....interesting.

We are working on the yard and painting the fence today. So I am outside most of the time.

divarobbie has left us-possible to go to his meeting.

JRand you are reminding me to get back to work. I still have to sort through all the clothes I took out of my closet when we got our new carpeting. I really don't want to pack them all back in. It is very difficult for me to toss, or give away anything. But I must.

Here is the lyric for the new song:

I’ve always felt I was born too late
That this is not my time
That this is not my place
I hate the music – hate the clothes they wear
They just can’t compare
With the way it was in my favorite era
Don’t you think it’s sad when they clear away
Everything that’s great
But what if I could find a time machine
And go back in time, to the time that was prime
To the wonderful time where I’m

At the disco
I want disco
I want dancin’ and romancin’ at the disco
Where the colored lights are turning
The fever’s always burning
On Saturday night, baby, everything’s right

At the disco
Gimme disco
Where the white suits are the right suits at the disco
Where the beat is always thumpin’
The joint is always jumpin’
The air is alive, c’mon, baby, let’s drive

Down the Disco Highway
Hearin’ disco music On the Radio
You know you Can’t Stop the Music at the YMCA
It’s a Disco Inferno, so Shake Your Booty today
With my hair so big it looks like a hive
Got the Night Fever, baby, and I Will Survive

(dance break)

At the disco
I love disco
I’m arrivin’ and I’m thrivin’ at the disco
While the Macho Men keep movin’
The Bee Gees keep on groovin’
How deep is your love – that’s what I’m dreamin’ of

At the disco
Bring back disco
Like a jolt’a John Travolta at the disco
Where you love to do The Hustle
Give Bad Girls all your muscle
And dance all night long – baby, what can go wrong

I want disco
Gimme disco
I love disco
Bring back disco
Save the Last Dance for me
At the disco – ‘cause that’s where I want to be!

Bruce-how fun.

I wasn’t expecting the back to time to be the Disco.

Fred Astaire and Betty Hutton did a 1950 musical for Paramount called LET'S DANCE. They were ill-matched, and the movie isn't very enjoyable despite each star having a star turn or two that entertains. They do a number together in cowboy outfits (a Western "My One and Only Highland Fling" or "Couple of Swells"), but those other numbers were far more entertaining than the one in LET'S DANCE.

Thanks, DR Jane. I will report faithfully on weather occurrences. You'd never know we were in for anything looking at the weather today: absolutely splendid.

I pikced out THE IRON GIANT for viewing this afternoon, but I didn't get very far in before I had to shut it off and get ready for the rest of the day. There is never enough time to do everything I want to do every day - and I'M RETIRED! Goodness knows how I ever managed to get ANYTHING done when I was working full-time.

Good Afternoon!

I'm home! Well, at least back in Fairfax at my parents' house, and I'm about to head over to my brother's new place so that I can attend my niece's birthday party.

A good flight back, no major traumas, no major worries... (Ah, a Romance, Romance reference).

Well, just wanted to check in and say HI!

OH! And DR JRand54 - You have mail!

Laters...

I'm still grateful for the honey cake recipe and while it hasn't been made yet for lack of buckwheat honey in my pantry - it's on my to-do list for sure

It's not going to be one of THOSE days is it? I'm being very lazy, but then I didn't get to bed until three and I was up at eight, so I'm feeling dazed and confused and also confused and dazed. I'm trying my best to finish Pierrot Le Fou but it's very slow going and there is still forty-five minutes left. Me want to start on Alias, plus I want to watch Tess, which I just picked up an early copy of.

Sandra · « **Reply #46 on:** September 26, 2004, 02:13:04 PM »

This morning, I had a very yummy breakfast of cake and Cherry Coke.

The furry brown meowing lump that usually sits on my lap is instead on the floor playing with an empty plastic bag and is being very noisy about it.

I need to go digging through my room and find a couple papers I wrote last semester so I can make them longer and turn them in again for different classes. I hope I didn't throw them out. Then I would actually have to do some homework. (Oh, the horror!)

BK - No matter how different the new book is from the Kritzer Trilogy I am sure it will be great. One of the true tests of a writer is their versatility. You don't want people thinkjing you can only write one type of book. Also, have you thought of doing WHAT IF in NYC? I can't remember the last good revue that was done here (excluding songwritter anthologies).

MEET JOHN DOE is a textbook case of how to convert a movie into a musical (using the film's original ending, not the one substituted after only a few showings). And yet I'm sure people who have never seen the film would appreciate it too. It was very well done (especially considering the Stanwyck role was a last minute replacement --- a wonderful Donna Lynne Champlin for Christianne Noll who was really wrong for the material) with a knockout eleven o'clock number and a good score. I hope it has a future. However I was a bit surprised not to see a credit for Frank Capra and whoever wrote the original screenplay, since without them there couldn't have been the musical in the first place.

THE FLETCHER CHRONICLES:

Yesterday was a great day for Fletcher, the Dalmatian puppy. The Delaware SCPA was holding a Doggy Hour at a place in town called Aqua, which has a beach motif and an island-themed menu. People were invited to come with their dogs (at a $5 cover for the people) and meet, as well as meet other dogs that were up for adoption.

Fletcher got along fine with everyone, both two-legged and four. Der Brucer was looking for a playmate for Fletcher, however, which gave our visit some purpose. There was another Dal in attendance, named Blue because she has one blue eye. Nice as she was, she wouldn't make a good companion for Fletcher, as she's already ten years old, but she'd make a wonderful companion for an older couple. Most of the dogs were much smaller than Fletch, probably not the best idea for a playmate since he plays a little rough and needs someone his own size.

Then there was a boxer, named Solo. He was about the right size, and the right age, and had a pretty brindle coat. He was a bit aloof when it came to paying any attention to Fletcher or der Brucer, although he liked the scritches I gave his jowls. And der Brucer started thinking that maybe this boxer would make the best playmate.

By today, however, der B. was having second thoughts. "I don't know if we've got enough room for another dog. When they decide to cuddle together, there isn't enough room on the bed for ME!"

Meanwhile, Fletcher has been playing more and more with Buster and Bonnie. Even Marty seems to be relaxing around him, letting Fletcher wash his face. A sixth addition to the family might not be necessary.

Yes, I agree DRMATTH - Let's Dance was a low point for both Hutton and Astaire who just didn't match up.... $:-\$

Thanks DRJOSE....you walked too far down the street.

Allison lived at 1757 North Orange Grove Avenue.....but thanks for the lovely pictures of 1725....I appreciate the effort!

I have a topic for discussion. What is your favorite kind of diet soft drink?

I tried a new one today that I have never tried. If you like root beer, I would strongly recommend Diet A&W Root Beer. It is so delicious.

My regular favorite is diet Nestea ice tea.

And one I've always wanted to try (but cannot find here) is diet cream soda. Has anyone tried that one?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #53 on:** September 26, 2004, 03:26:41 PM »

Got Tu Go Disco!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #54 on:** September 26, 2004, 03:28:19 PM »

Oh yes DRJENNIFER diet Cream Soda when you can find it is delicious.

I also like me some Diet Vernor's!

But Diet Pepsi is the drink for me, regularly.

Emily, not to worry. I don't like to offer untested recipes, but I had a hunch about this one. I wouldn't change a thing. Even the DP - who can be very picky - agreed it's a winner.

Sandra · « **Reply #56 on:** September 26, 2004, 03:31:10 PM »

The only diet beverage I like is water. Even diet Cherry Coke doesn't do it for me. I need sugar!!

Jane, not only is Bruce's lyric to the disco number great, but the music is as well. And it was ably performed and a crowd-pleaser the night I saw it. In fact, there were quite a few good Kimmel numbers in the show besides the witty What Ifs. I think it may be time for Guy Haines to do an exclusively Kimmel album.

bk · « **Reply #58 on:** September 26, 2004, 04:18:07 PM »

Mr. Grant Geissman and I were talking about Mr. Haines last night. We shall see what we shall see.

I'm feeling a bit logey and my throat is bugging me, which I think is due to not enough sleep over the last few days. And I cannot sleep in tomorrow as I must take my car in to be serviced at seven o'clock.

Is this going to be one of THOSE days? It's shameful, really, to abandon those of us who are here waiting to read excellent postings.

I'm on my second episode of Alias, season three. I'll have more to say when I've finished the third episode.
