I suppose I could address my Holiday cards tonight. I don't want to mail them before Friday so that the postmark will read "Dec. 1."

I do declare we've attained page SIX!

Because it was a topic of discussion recently, I offer the following image of a window card I love from "Annie". I have both the original and this awards version:

Does anyone know whether a cast album is being planned for "The Apple Tree" with Chenoweth and D'Arcy James?

According to Weather Bug, it's F 44 degrees right now in Oakland.

And it feels COLD.

I have it on good authority that Betsy is disconcerted that BK would not know who she is, since she considers herself the highlight of BK's NW visit last year.

Busy with eBay idiots department: favorite "ask seller a question" moment from this round--someone asking about Kurosawa's "Ran" DVD, asking if it was the sequel to Midnight Run. Charles Grodin as a Samurai--that I would pay to see.

LOL....at least they didn't think it was a sequel to Run Sammy Run.

Hmmm, I'm a bit concerned about tomorrows forecast. Des Moines seems to be smack dab in the middle of the icy buildup forecast. I hate driving on I-80 as it is, but to drive with speeding semi trucks and freezing rain....I just don't know about it. Guess I'll just watch the weather.

What really stinks is that I really want to go this time.

I guess I just hope if it's going to get bad, I want it to do it before I leave and not while I'm on the road....

Matt, in your watching of Superman I hope you saw my buddie's Laurie Mitchell and Diana Darrin in their respective episodes!

Laurie was in the one about the fake spiritualist/fortune teller/magician guy and Diana was in the one where Jimmy has a gangster double.

Both are color episodes.

Yes, I just watched "The Dreamer" episode the other day. The "Jimmy the Kid" episode was in the previous boxed set (which, of course, I watched some months ago). I remember both ladies very well.

I finished THE FALLEN IDOL. The child's following the police around at the end trying to tell them something that appears will implicate rather than help his beloved servant gets me every time; puts me on the edge of my seat. Brilliant writing and direction.

Next, I put in the next disc in the CSI: MIAMI 4th season set and watched a couple of episodes. The first was a bizarre story of Miami teenagers aping the scenario of a video game in committing crimes. Good drama with some surprising twists.

Matt H. · « **Reply #166 on:** November 28, 2006, 08:21:39 PM »

The other CSI: MIAMI episode featured the CSIs in a race with a bounty hunter to find the killer of a suspected drug dealer. An IAB investigation into Delko's alleged drug use also clutters up the investigations until all is straightened out. Another good episode.

I spent the last thirty minutes watching HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE on HBO-HD. Only watched the sequence dealing with Potter's selection up to his facing his dragon. Looked nice but not significently sharper than seeing the standard DVD I have upconverted to my set's resolution.

LAW & ORDER: CI had a very unusual case involving a cyber video blog that appears to be the scene of a kidnapping. A back and forth real-or-fake investigation resulted in one of the best CIs of the season.

The conclusion of the BOSTON LEGAL two parter was half good, half bad. I didn't find the Shirley storyline very satisfying at all, but I did enjoy the lesbian murder trial, especially Jerry Espenson's techniques in the courtroom. Quite wonderful during those sequences, and the result of the trial surprised me.

My Little French boy arrived. The new house is less than a mile from the subway stop so it was so convenient to pick him up there. The house was sparkling---he was very pleased to move in. I had my car washed and vaccumed on the way to work so he would have my new car to drive, and I will drive my 16 year old 5 speed Corolla, which still runs great. I miss having a stickshift with the new car. Here they cost more than an automatic because traffic is so bad here that no one wants to shift gears so dealers never have stickshifts on the lot----you have to order them. That's how I ended up with an automatic car for the first time in my life, and probably the last. They are so boring to drive!

When I got home, I had a call from my mom that my cousin's husband had died. No one knows the cause right now; she just came home and found him. He was only @ 58. Thye have been married for 40 years. I am in shock.

So sorry to hear that Edisaurus... deepest sympathy to you, your cousin and all your family

Think I'll get some sleep. I don't wear hats or I'd put on my kerchief or my hat and settle down for a long winters nap

So sorry to read your news, DR Edi.

And now, I'm heading off to bed, too.

Good night!

I'm sorry to hear about your cousin-in-law, Edisaurus. You family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

DR Sandra is helping her brother write a paper for school. It's like she's having a nightmare.
