I believe my best time in typing was 113 WPM.  With 112 errors.

[JMK]

Decided out of nothing other than curiosity to get the ootleg-bay of the film version of Porgy and Bess, and must say, it's not horrible. 

I found out a frequent collaborator here in PDX is one of the Bway revisal's producers.  I could tell stories, but I won't.

AOL keeps kicking me out today.

I'm sure you've been kicked out of better places. 

How are you feeling today?

And I have been kicked out of much worse places!

I am feeling better and better every day.  I just wish my leg would cooperate.

I had a gentlemen instructor for TYPING II....but alas his name is not in my memory.

Job kudos to the kids.

What city in China is your son in or near?

The flew into Shanghai and stayed for two days then took a bus to Suzhou (sp?), which is where the host families are.  They'll be there for several days before flying to Beijing.

I hope Zach took the right underwear - we wouldn't want another Boxer Rebellion on our hands.

So he won't be with his host family the entire time?

There seems to be a site where I can see my High School Yearbook, so I am now waiting for my confirmation email......which I think is better than waiting for my bar mitzvah email......

[Jrand73]

Off to see Act One and Act Two......who knows when I will be return?  I don't.....

I enjoy the film version of PORGY AND BESS.  The one I can't tolerate is CARMEN JONES.  In these days of political correctness, where films like GREEN PASTURES and SONG OF THE SOUTH are locked away; why is a CARMEN JONES fixture on the late show?

My high school typing teacher was Mrs. Zuckerman. My best typing score was 70 wpm.

Nice to have a sparkling new stove (oven/cooker) which arrived today and has been installed.

Sorry, DR Doug R, I didn't mean to harass you yesterday, I was just being curious.

I owe the PORGY AND BESS movie a lot.  Taken to see it at age ten, when it was new, it was the thing that set me on course for a lifelong love of Gershwin.  Not long after that I was pecking out the Rhapsody and Concerto in F (which I initially liked because the bluesy second movement made me think of moments in P&B) on the piano.

I've seen it at special showings a few times over the years.  The main thing I would warn anyone about before seeing it their first time is that it's very "stagey", as opposed to a "cinematic" depiction of the piece.  Last time I saw it there were times I wanted to scream at Preminger to get in there for a tight dramatic close shot.  Or...something.

I never took typing, and sometimes wish I had. I did lose a potential job with a publishing company in New York because of it (well, that and it wasn't paid and the company didn't think I could do it for free since I didn't live in the city).

But I wonder: Who was Vixmom's typing teacher?

You mean, who will admit to being Vixmom's typing teacher?

[TCB]

Whew!  What a relief.  NASA is now saying that Astroid 2011 AG5 is not going to hit planet earth in 2040, as prviously expected.

Oy! such a frustrating afternoon. I need a drink.

No problem DR TCB. I didn't feel harassed.

Oh good.  I'm glad.

What is Campari?  Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

It is an Italian liquor that's orangy-red in color and is bitter orange flavored.  It's rather good straight up on the rocks or with tonic water.

Oh - and hello, goodbye!

That usually means you've had too much to drink already.

Page 4 Tour of Melissa Gilbert's Home Dance

Love the casual innocent reference to her "mowing and blowing" landscaping guy as if she's not aware of the double entendre at 0:40

Is Melissa Gilbert closing in on a nervous breakdown, or has she already had one?  I worried every week on DWTS whether she was going to make it until the end of the program.

She looked fine in this clip.  I liked the house except for the kitchen.

Thanks.
