I'm sitting on a padded chair having gas from lunch. I call that putting cushion to the wind.

Where my drummer for that one?

BK can't use that title -- it's already been used and has a copyright -- it's in DR ELmo's cheap porn collection (it's one of his favorites -- it won an award for Best Score)...

No, no! Elmo's tape is called "David and Deron Do Druid Duets"...a big difference.

Anne Frank's Chestnut Tree Slowly Dying

Quote

Thursday , March 29, 2007
By Donald Snyder

AMSTERDAM —
“ … And the sun was shining as it’s never shone before in 1944. Our chestnut tree is in full bloom. It’s covered with leaves and is even more beautiful than last year.”

One of the best known and most poignant tragedies of the Holocaust is that of Anne Frank, a Jewish teenager who kept a diary of her more than two years in hiding from the Nazis in a cramped, secret annex of a building in Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

During her 25 months in hiding, Anne’s only connection to the outside world was a chestnut tree that gave her hope and comfort when she gazed at it from an attic window of her hideaway.

“ As long as this exists, this sunshine and this cloudless sky and as long as I can enjoy it how can I be sad.”

More than half a century later, gusty winds off the North Sea still buffet the bare, 150-year-old tree that gave Anne Frank strength.

It stands alongside a canal in a courtyard behind the house at 263 Prinsengracht, where the Franks hid upstairs. Seagulls still fly over the tree, swooping down suddenly to seek fish in the oily canal.

But now a deadly fungus is killing Anne’s chestnut tree.

Soon it will soon be cut down.

Here's an oldie but goodie we haven't told in a while. I believe the joke is called "Don't you love farts?"

A cute little old lady goes to the doctor and says, "Doctor I have this problem with gas, but it really doesn't bother me too much. The farts never smell and are always silent. As a matter of fact I've farted at least 20 times since I've been here in your office. You didn't know I was farting because they don't smell and are silent."

The doctor says, "I see. Take these pills and come back to see me next week."

The next week the lady returns. "Doctor," she says, "I don't know what the heck you gave me, but now my farts, although still silent, stink terribly."

"Good," the doctor said. "Now that we've cleared up sense of smell we'll work on your hearing."

Timing is everything. Well, maybe that fart joke lightened the mood a bit.

Got my errands run, and went to the drug store next to the grocery store to load up on Easter candy. Can't let my candy supply get too depleted!

I began my afternoon viewing with last night's ANDY BARKER, P.I. Again, a pretty feeble episode all told. I'm not sure how much more of a chance I'll give the show. I like Andy Richter on OLD CHRISTINE, but here, he and the actress playing his wife are just too precious for words, and their naivete gets old quickly.

Next, I watched another episode of THE WILD WILD WEST in color (as Quinn Martin Productions used to say). This one was called "Night of the Flying Pie Plates" and guest starred William Windom and a green skinned Leslie Parrish!!! She was playing an alien from Venus visiting Earth looking for gold to propel her spaceship. Of course, it was all a scam to bilk the yokels of their gold.

She was in an episode in Season One as well. I had no idea she was going to be in this episode, and when she stepped out of the spaceship, I was truly surprised.

I finished my afternoon viewing (interrupted by several telephone calls) with the classic French film RIFIFI. How marvelous is this wonderful heist drama? Very!

Always look on the bright side of life!

Specifically for Miss Karen, should she ask, and DakotaCelt, should she seek confirmation, the way I feel today is:

[shadow=color,glow width,#characters wide][size=8] Crapdoodle! [/size][/shadow]

I woke up three times this morning BEFORE my alarm went off...and each time I thought it was Saturday and went back to sleep. When the alarm screeched, I knew the ugly truth of it all.

Sigh.

Anyway....I managed to dress and get in to the office. Here I sit, sinus pressure behind my eyes (alllergies), but otherwise ready to plow through the day and get this next weekend started.

Poor baby!!! You have my sympathy RPL

Can somone recommend a good website that will inform me of plays, concerts, events, in the LA aread in late April. The LA times only seems to list what is current but I need to know for the 23rd to the 28th.

I can't recall where I looked up info for my last trip.

Media Check...

In my CD player: two Randy Newman CDs through very kind courtesy of Tomovoz! After those will be "David Shire: At the Movies" and then "Philip Quast: Live At the Donmar."

In my DVD player: "Ella Fitzgerald: Live in '57 & '63." I just got this today at Costco. It's two live concerts that she did in Belgium in 1957 and Sweden in 1963. Last night, I finally watched "Shock to the System" with Chad Allen. I really liked this movie. And the back story (I think Matt H. mentioned it, also) really adds dimention to the character of Donald Strachey.
