And since everyone seems to be talking about such things, I'll just share that I had to deal with a lot of phlegm and mucus of my own this morning!

Today I hope to finish all of the bonus features on the two supplemental discs in THE LAST EMPEROR set. There are at least two more feature length documentaries to go.

And of course you're all probably already aware that most of the surnames in The Simpsons are street names here in little ol' Portland, where Matt Groenig growed up.

We are bigtime Simpsons fans. The kids can quote whole episodes verbatim, which is probably a little scary.

Your family dynamic will be even more entertaining when they can do the some with South Park

Matt was a passenger on the cruiseline I was MD for for a decade or so here, and I was, unbelievably, the only person to recognize him. He pretended not to be himself, but he had that sparkle in his eye as I described who "he" was. He then asked me, "Is he really, really rich?" It was quite funny.

We're actually going through some South Park tsuris right now because "all the kids" at Gabe's Middle School are allowed to watch, and we simply won't let Gabe or Zach watch it. It's also disturbing that the kids at Gabe's school quote the show liberally, including the "stupid Jew" part.

As for the "The Simpsons"...

I watch it when I can, and but it's no longer "must-see TV" for me. -Although, hardly anything is lately. In any case, I love the musical episodes, and I'm so glad they started releasing "Songs in the Key of Springfield", "The Yellow Album", etc.

As for the movie, I LOVED it too. And I even splurged on the special "Donut" edition of the soundtrack.

Two of the six windows are in place, but not finished yet. There is the sound of breaking glass as they take out the old windows, but no swearing, like when the plumber dropped the new bathtub in place. Maybe if he cuts his hand on the broken glass...

Responsible parenting is rendered most difficult when the Village will not support reasonable requirements for social decorum.

I wouldn't worry too much. Mikey often "pulls a muscle" in his rear hip - he hobbles about for a day or two and recovers just fine.

Dakota, I hope you feel more settled & less lonesome today. I never heard Americans are the loneliest people. Maybe we just express it more.

I read the headlines this morning that Castro still president. I wondered what that was about.

Yesterday Grandpa decided we would watch Jesus Christ Superstar. (Exposing the kids to new musicals on film is rendered more difficult when Alex, the 11 year-old. doesn't like the "mushy" stuff.

The game plan is to put a DVD in the player for Grandpa to watch , and the kids must stay in the room (Alex will start off playing his game boy until the movie pulls him in).

William, the 8 year old doesn't like to see people die - his very first question was "does any body die in this movie. (I gave a simple yes answer).

Answering an 8 yr old's endless stream of "why" questions is difficult when dealing with the arcane political intrigues of Gospel era Palestine.

William went and hid under a dining room chair until the crucifixion scene was over.

Alex' initial comment, early on, was that the singing sounded like Rock music - uh, yeah!

They both lasted through the whole film with little difficulty.

Woody wants to try Into The Woods next.

Um... No.

First of all, I have a slight allergy to cats.

Secondly, there are some mean(!!!!) strays that come into our backyard from time to time, and they are very(!!!!) territorial.

Thirdly, having another carton of milk in the fridge would just confuse everyone here, especially with the close spellings: Jose, Josie.

I can solve two out of the three problems. Keep the cat inside, and you really shouldn't give cats milk. It often gives them diarrhea.

Fear not, I don't think you are home enough for this kitty who seems to want loads of attention.
