And the word of the day is: QUANGO!
Sounds like "Edge of Darkness" was another "State of Play," which was a great mini-series and a mumble of a movie despite a great cast.
DR CP - unfortunately it was a night "off book" they were using their books from start to finish.
The television version I am watching is one with Noel Coward, Claudette Colbert, Lauren Bacall, and Mildred Natwick......some CBS special thing broadcast in color, but the kinescope is in B/W. Coward cut the play down to two hours including commercials, so I took some of the cuts he made.
Good morning, all! Last night I was feeling quite unhealthy, so I decided to sleep in today and drive away whatever bug was threatening my equilibrium. All was fine until the dog above me began barking about 8:45 this morning. So, I am up and so much for sleeping late.
I do feel better than yesterday. I'll have some chicken broth for lunch.
I've got Victor Herbert and the Wizard to deal with today, but I am taking it easy and not doing too much.
I had to change the roll of toilet paper AND the paper towels all in one morning.
I need a nap.

Chicken broth at Artie's!! And tell 'em howdy from the rainy northwest... Feel better, sweet boychik!
Drux - yeah, ol' Mel-the-Jew-hater... kinda hard to watch him be charming on-screen..

And on Father's Day, too! :P
Today is probably going to be a long day for me. I have to work concessions for a local dance studio's recital, but if I get done early enough, I need to take my niece to a Seattle Storm basketball game. Larry, her mother's boyfriend is supposed to take her, but he has a bad back and really can't drive. My sister will take her, if I can't.

I wonder if the current One Guest, is the same One Guest that was here earlier? A point to ponder!
And the word of the day is: QUANGO!
I have spent the last hour mincing around the kitchen, so I am sure everybody can guess what day this is!Does Tuna Macaroni Salad count?No, not Gay Pride day!It is Tuna Pasta Day!
I have been crazed - we decided to announce our new title in the morning - so I'm crazily getting it all ready - I'll have to approve the master early this evening. I still have 150 boxes to attach labels to, as well. I'll announce our new title here at midnight - it is really cool - three scores on one CD. Now, about Jose?

Oh I have my sources......would you like a copy?
The neighbors are having one of their pool parties. For the last two days, the girlfriend (I don't think they're married) of the youngster who owns the monstrosity, has been sunbathing topless by the pool. It hasn't occurred to her that if you're in my house and happen to walk by the bedroom window you can see all of it clearly.

Umm. Are you complaining?
The people who own the cabin just through the trees, over there, came up to do a bit of work on their house - they invited me for dinner last night. Yes, the raccoons followed me over there. No, I had no leftovers for them - but they escorted me back to my house at about 10 pm - and yes, I put some kibbles out for them. Oy...

Yes, that would be reason enough to avoid Mr. Gibson's films. However, long before he publicly became Mel-the-Jew-hater; he had long been Mel-the-gay-hater. Back then, I told people I was avoiding his films for that reason, and I was constantly told to lighten-up.
Is anybody going to watch the new shows on ABC tonight? I think they are called SCOUNDRELS and THE GATES.
Has no one had any contact with dear reader Jose? Has he really jumped ship?

More about last night's glee club concert: There were 150 men on stage, ranging from 2010 graduates to someone who graduated 50 years ago. They did all the familiar material under the direction of 3 conductors - the current one and his 2 predecessors. Ethan Sperry, the current conductor, is leaving to become head of choral programs at Portland State University in Oregon, so I wonder if he and DR JMK will cross paths.
Alumni audiences are much better behaved than the student audiences we've been in for concerts during the school year.

Actually, DR Jane, I enjoyed the second half of the concert more than the first. Just before the concert started a party of 5 came in to sit next to us. It appeared to be a young mom whose husband was in the glee club, their 3 kids, and either father or father-in-law. I suspect the FiL was also a glee club alum who chose not to participate in the concert. At least not on stage, but he hummed along during every number in the first half. At intermission, Rob and I were able to move to seats far enough away that I couldn't hear him and from which we could see Richard better.
I'm still trying to get the "cat"scent out of the room in the basement. They have never done this before, so I'm not sure why, but it's not a pleasant odor and I'm open for suggestions in getting rid of it.
I have now heard from my step-daughter as well.
Tonight I breaded eggplant in italian bread crumbs and cooked it in olive oil.Sounds wonderful. And reminds me I haven't had dinner yet.

DR TCB did you ever get your air conditioner set up?

A couple days ago, Friday maybe? I've tried pet cleaning products, but it isn't working too well. It's the new carpet in the basement. Not sure who did it, but there were some cats hanging around outside that room for a few days (it has sliding glass doors) so I'm wondering if it wasn't marking the territory. Anyway, it stinks. If all else fails I'll get it professionally cleaned
heck I'm not even positive where they did it in the room.

My favorite cleaner for this is OdoBan: http://www.odoban.com I used the original concentrate.
You might try a good enzyme cleaner first. A lot of people like Natures Miracle. I personally never had success with it, unfortunate I can't remember the name of my favorite enzyme cleaner.

Darn. Did you say it rolls around on wheels & has a hose to the window? Bryan mentioned he got a window air conditioner and had seen the mobile ones with hoses. I couldn't remember what you got.

Thanks! I'll try this. I just found that they sell it at Walmart and Sam's Club.
I didn't try vinegar. I had a pet stain cleaner in a spray bottle and I sprayed and blotted the couple spots I thought it could be. I've used Febreeze pet odor remover and I've used the Arm and Hammer Pet deodorizer. It's a little better, but still really strong

My ex-wife's daughter, which makes her my step-daughter.
And now I'm awaiting the arrival of Miss Jane Lanier and about five boxes of her amazing and extremely yummilicious homemade caramels (spelled Karmels by her).
DR Jane and Jennifer... I liked the second book better than the first. I'm looking forward to reading the third....and to finishing it so I can get some sleep at night again!

And you're complaining about that?
::)
I also sliced some Vidalia onions and fresh mushrooms and dumped in some sherry and butter and let it simmer slowly for about an hour (I love that my outdooe grill has a side burner so I can cook this outside where the delicous aroma does not become imbedded in the couch or curtains)Sounds great.
For the "sides" I steamed some bay red potatoes and some fresh corn on the cobNow I'm really envious. Blueberry pie!
dessert was blueberry pie and vanilla ice cream and angel food cake with whipped creama and fresh blueberries and sstrawberries

I have to make a blueberry pie every year for a friend for her birthday. What a treat it is for me, too. I love that touch of nutmeg and the acid from the lemon juice mixing in with the berries. The butter richness of the crust. Guess I'm going to have to make one this week.
I rarely make my own crusts, if that counts for anything.
Wow. That was quite a meal to whip up in a hurry, Vixmom.
You know my secret.I rarely make my own crusts, if that counts for anything.
I must admit that since Pillsbury started those refirgerator crusts I have been using those for my'" homemade" pies - I find they are really nice and flaky and buttery tasting
I miss MattH and his movie & TV news
He's waiting for your amazon review :)

PennyO, how long will you be up here in the neighborhood? I think it would be lovely, if you (and possibly George) and I got together for lunch some weekend for a mini HHW celebration.
