Cool Beans.....PAGE 6!!!!! I'm too tired to dance, though

DR Jane - Treatment adjustment vibes for your friend.

How are you? We've missed you here.

Jane · « **Reply #153 on:** September 01, 2006, 07:40:12 PM »

'night

Jane · « **Reply #154 on:** September 01, 2006, 07:42:07 PM »

Ginny-thanks. I just hope the treatment works & she stays cancer free.

I'm fine thanks. We decided to have dinner in Portland with Bryan-ate at a wonderful Vietnamese restaurant.

I'm off to watch a DVD, waiting for Keith to decide which one.

May I recommend this radio show?:

The week of June 29, 2006, John Pizzarelli and Jessica Molaskey's Radio Deluxe program was a Salute to Rosemary Clooney. They were joined by John Oddo and Deborah Grace Winer. You can listen to the entire program, by downloading it here.

Well, I must get some sleep. I'm quite tired. I did buy a really fun trio of pictures etched into slate at Art Splash. They are called groovin on life or something like that. Each slate has a stylized woman dancing or doing acrobatics and when I look at it I just have to smile. I'm going to try to figure out where to hang it tomorrow. If I get it on the wall I'll take a photo.

Richard and I leave one month from tomorrow!

He just sent me an email that said, "Get some sleep!" Sounds like a great idea.

'night.

Thank you very much TCB, Cillaliz and Jane!

I got the impression that the seller is getting antzy to make sure that I can actually get a loan, so it had better all work out! And Jane, yes, this was the one that the seller had actually un-listed.

And now, they actually have to re-list it so that I can officially make an offer to buy it. Whatever.

George · « **Reply #160 on:** September 01, 2006, 08:11:01 PM »

And now, I'm going home. Later!

Am back after a wonderful evening of food and frolic with best friend John and family. I ate WAY too much, and feel like an overstuffed pig. In fact, I had barbecue, so I guess that's appropriate.

Matt H. · « **Reply #162 on:** September 01, 2006, 08:33:04 PM »

We watched GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK when we got back home. My friend has never used the HDMI jack in his HDTV, so I brought one of the upconverting players I have here, and we plugged it in very quickly, got it up and running, and enjoyed the movie. They had never seen it. I've seen it probably half a dozen times and never tire of it. A really first-rate film.

Matt H. · « **Reply #163 on:** September 01, 2006, 08:35:20 PM »

So he could see some color films upconverted, we next put in THE PRODUCERS and watched about five numbers: "Along Came Bialy," "Keep it Gay," "Springtime for Hitler," "Betrayed" and the audition sequence. John and I saw the original cast on Broadway the summer after THE PRODUCERS opened, so there wasn't the surprise of its music and lyrics for him. He seemed to like it OK, but he thought it worked better on stage (I agree completely).

Matt H. · « **Reply #164 on:** September 01, 2006, 08:36:46 PM »

And we finished up with the opening sequence of his favorite James Bond movie apart from any Connery ones - TOMORROW NEVER DIES. The surround is stunning on this sequence, but neither he nor I saw much improvement in the image upconverted with this particular DVD.

Matt H. · « **Reply #165 on:** September 01, 2006, 08:48:22 PM »

Oh, brother has this been a long day, so I'm off to bed!

Good night!

vixmom · « **Reply #166 on:** September 01, 2006, 09:07:09 PM »

Hello all!! It has been a crazy week but finally I have chance to get back to the puter and see you all!!!

FJL · « **Reply #167 on:** September 01, 2006, 09:08:40 PM »

I appreciate the vibes for my friend Michael.

vixmom · « **Reply #168 on:** September 01, 2006, 09:10:04 PM »

When last I left you, The Vixter and I were about to set off to meet DR WFO and drive to NYC.

Well the picking up of WFO went well but an accident on the LIE led to a detour that turned a 40 minute trip into a 1 hour and 40 minute trip, but the company was good and we had given ourselves several hours of free time before the show so no problem there.

vixmom · « **Reply #169 on:** September 01, 2006, 09:20:26 PM »

I had a coupon for $10 all day parking at a very convenient indoor parking garage and we brought the car there... dragged poor and incredibly patient DR WFO through the mandatory American Girl Place visit.... and then set off to the theatre to see the Fatasticks.

F9irst of all our seats were amazing...I had purchased them on the internet and there was no seating chart but I figured Row A center orchestra would be good... I also figured it would be located somewhere behind rows AA - ZZ... but NO!! It was dead center inthe first row, we were actually on the stage and had to keep our feet well tucked under to ensdure that no actors would be tripped up.

Everyone in the cast was absoutely wonderful. Before the show I asked the Vixter if she would like me to buy her a T shirt...

"Well, lets see how the show is first.." she replied

At intermission she asked "Please, please may I have a shirt? And are they selling the CD?!" (not yet but soon we found out)

Back in the lobby we found the well beloved DR Elmore and his friend Andy and much hugging ensued.

I concur with Elmore that this production of the Fantasticks is not to be missed.

After the show Elmnmore very kindly introduced us to the mutlit-talented Mr. Tom Jones who signed the Vixter's program for her.

and then we were off, the five of us to the apartment of the most gracious hosts DR FJL and his Skip

vixmom · « **Reply #170 on:** September 01, 2006, 09:21:58 PM »

A lovely apartment with a view to kill for and decorated with mirrors handmade by the multitalented Skip.

FJL, tell Skip I have been dreaming about his flank steak!!!!

Hello all. Good strong healing and supportive vibes etc for all those in need.

It's all getting a bit rushed here in the land of OZ as we leave here in just over two weeks time. Our weekend of Sept 23/4 is still open for socialising !!
Where is Dolly? We need a woman who arranges things.

vixmom · « **Reply #172 on:** September 01, 2006, 09:23:46 PM »

Rodzinski, TPunk, Ben and his Anthony were already ther ahead of us. Much more hugging, chatting, eating and general merriment ensued.

All too soon it was time to wander back to the car and call it a night

vixmom · « **Reply #173 on:** September 01, 2006, 09:26:57 PM »

We got back tothe car park I handed the man my ticket and the coupon, he drove up in my car , we got in and then I noticed a
curious thing... although the car was running, there was no key in my ignition.

Now I still do not know how they managed to start the car, and more interestingly, unlock the steering column, without the key but manage it they did.

Yes. I worked in the Central Court Building when I clerked for Judge Martone, and I had court in both the East and Central Court buildings when I was a public defender.

And did the sheriff make you wear pink undies just like the defendant?

It took an hour of calm but inisistent talking to convince them that I did indeed have a key when I arrived and left theme the car and that I had no intention of leaving without a key. Unfortunately, my key was not to be found. Finally, after I insisted they call the manager at home, WFO began taking down everyon'es name in hois lttle notebook and we very pointedly wrote down the license number of the parking garage and the number of the NYC department in charge of such estrablishments they had a long talk with someone on the phone, and then came out with a redund of my parking charge, the new that a locksmith had been called to make a new key anfd an offer to buy us a meal while we waited.

We went over to the next block and had some little snacks (there was not room for much after the feast at the Fred and Skips!!) and when we wandered back, by now quite tired at nearly midnight the locksmith was just finishing up and putting away his tools.

We handed our diner receipt to the parking lot attendenant and he reimbursed us for our expense and we were finally off - arriving home in the early hours of the morning.

In other news we are still waiting to hear about a settlement from our homeowners insurance for the bathroom flood fiasco so rebuilding can begin. We are down one bathroom and with sachool beginning on Tuesday this is not a good thing at all as our schedules are now such that we all three must be out of the house at the same time.

I believe I have missed some birthdays... belated best wishes to those I have missed!

C'mon, it's New York! Every self-respecting car-jockey can hot wire anything on wheels!
