Cilla, I know too well how difficult it is to get shots through windows, let alone screens too. Well done.

This is my first cougar sighting since we have lived here. I know they are out there, as well as bears. So far I really haven’t minded not seeing them up close. A sleeping cougar was interesting, yet I wish the neighbor had called me sooner.

However a few years ago I used to play a wolf howl sound file everytime my neighbors got overly noisy in their amorous pursuits

I did take a photograph - I'll try to upload it right now.

Here is the sunset as captured by my photographic device.

We haven't had a sunset like that in a 'coon's age.

Good Evening!

I'm back from Chez L & K, and as was recounted by DR elmore, and Mssr. L. himself, it was a wonderful gathering and a truly delicious meal, from the appetizers to the dessert. Many, many thanks to our fine hosts and chef. *And I get to enjoy some more of Skip's fried chicken tomorrow too.

After the more than swell New Year's Partay, I walked through Times Square and midtown for a bit. I was kind of surprised at how many storefronts and restaurants were closed tonight, and I was really surprised by how many shows were dark tonight. When I stopped by TKTS there weren't that many shows up there, mainly because there weren't that many running. I guess most shows had a show last night, and then gave the companies off tonight.

*I had a "scare" when I walked by The Palace. The whole front was literally boarded up. I guess that was put up in order to protect it from the New Year's Eve revelers. -There was also lots of confetti from last night's festivities in the Virgin Megastore.

And, as is my tradition, I went to Border's and bought my calendars for the year. At 50% off. -They were only 25% off at Virgin - ?!?!?

The composer I asked to score the gold film sent us two kringle from the midwest.

I have never had kringle before, but they are yummy!

(in my best Homer Simpson voice) Hmm... Kringle.

And in honor of Elmore's VHS collection:

Oh, then I guess you could add "Spokes" too.

Very chilly, with high winds and snow.
The snow is quite light, but a major downfall is expected overnight.
Fortunately, by the time I head out for work, the roads should be nice and clean.

That is not a haiku, DR td.

I am making a steak.

A steak is making me.

Is that a West Hollywood haiku, yes or no?

No, it is not. However, it's very easy to "correct":

I am making a sssssssteak.

A sssssssteak is making me.

Is that a Wesssssst Hollywood haiku, yessssss or no?

FJL, the cake, and entire meal, look great. I'll have to check out the cake recipe.

Gosh, KAL HO NAA HO was such a wonderful movie! I had always heard from people (including TD, IIRC) that I should see it...but no one told me I would need to keep a box of kleenex close by for the entire final hour!

DR Laura, those saddle shoes are cute, and the faces to go with them not bad.

Loved the Saddleshoes... I always thought it was interesting that they made a bit of a comeback for a few months in the mid 80s

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #386 on:** January 01, 2008, 07:10:31 PM »

Anyone recall the prairie blouses?

Jane · « **Reply #387 on:** January 01, 2008, 07:10:40 PM »

I've seen them in the stores again.

The shoes that is, not the blouses.
