Well, you've read the notes, you haven't rained on the notes or my parade, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're raining on someone's parade right now, then they'll be home.

And the word of the day is: UBIQUITOUS!

The definition of the word "ubiquitous" can be found practically everywhere.

It is Saturday and so of course it is a World of Wisdom work day for me. And I am working with my nephew, which means I will never be able to get on the computer....

I am intrigued by the trivia question and will try to work on it when I get home....in about 11 hours.

Not sure about the TOD....would love to live in Rome, but I would miss theatre, since I don't speak Italian...hmmmm

For your enjoyment today, a clip of a young lady singing one of her more non-famous songs from one of her more non-famous movies. She looks great and sounds okay.... In fact, she looks beautiful. Nobody wore an ugly hairstyle more graciously than Miss Annette Funicello.

Later....I hope!

Great clip, JRand. Mesmerizing in fact.

Ironic title for today's column/notes as we had quite the downpour last night. And it may rain on the pride parade.

Wish we'd have thought to call, Ben. That would have been cool. We were kind of meandering about in search of a place to eat.

Good morning!

It rained all afternoon and a good chunk of the evening so everything here is green and soggy.

More thundershowers are in the forecast, but at least the temps for the next few days are supposed to stay in the 80s and out of the 90s (where they've been for the past four or five days).

Yes, there seem to be lots of twists and turns in the trivia contest, but it seems to be doable. I'll have to try some ideas about it later. Probably no time to work on it today.

I haven't decided on all of today's video offerings. I will watch some more SUPERMAN episodes, these from season 4. I would like to watch the animated ANASTASIA off the laserdisc; hadn't seen it in a long time and always found the score by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens to be charming. And I still have THE DETECTIVE waiting to be watched.

I know I'm not up for another Fox musical yet. CHARLIE CHAN IN EGYPT might certainly be watched at some point today.

Saturday morning greetings!

Ahhh, a day off. DH Richard is off to sing with the shape-noters and, even though it's a beautiful day, I've elected to stay home until I'm expected at the bookmobile.

Matt H. · « **Reply #12 on:** June 24, 2006, 07:53:39 AM »

And a reminder that another new episode of THE EVIDENCE comes on ABC tonight at 10.

Continued vibes to Elmore and his family.

Well, I suspect I'd love London if I was going to live in another country.

If money were no object (and I've said this before), I'd live in Hawaii. Not a foreign country but a beautiful place where the cost of living is far beyond my means.

TPunk · « **Reply #15 on:** June 24, 2006, 07:55:53 AM »

TCB, I'm sorry for your loss.

Matt H. · « **Reply #16 on:** June 24, 2006, 08:40:31 AM »

Off to do the second go-round on the kitchen floor mopping. (I got behind on my cleaning on Thursday, so I'm behind a day on my schedule.)

Sixteen posts? That hardly seems sporting. My throat is a bit sore this morning - weird. Don't feel sick in the least so I hope it's nothing and that it will go away shortly, perhaps a product of the way I slept.

Has Ann caught up?

Rodzinski · « **Reply #19 on:** June 24, 2006, 09:25:49 AM »

Still on page one? Yipes.

TOD: London,England...right in the heart of Theatreland, probably near Covent Garden or along the Thames Embankment between Waterloo Bridge and Westminster Bridge. Everything I'd need to sustain life would be in a few minutes walk...theatres, movie houses, shops of all kinds, book stores, restaurants, Tesco and Sainsbury, glorious parks, the River, history, awe-inspiring sites and attractions. If I was never allowed beyond that five mile radius (probably three mile), life would remain sustainable, rich, and full.

Well, Matt, I wish you would take your ninety degree temperatures back. The Pacific Northwest is expected to move into record-setting temperatures for the next few days. June is usually mild, temperature-wise; but starting today the thermometer is supposed to climb to around 90, till probably Tuesday.

SW Ohio has been hot this week and brutally humid; now it's a little cooler, but still very humid, which makes climate control tricky. Too cool for the AC to run, but too humid to have the windows open. What's a girl to do?

That post reads very strangely. Despite global warming, I still believe that the ninety degree temperatures are only going to occur during the daytime hours. The evenings should continue to cool off to the 50s or 60s.

Is Adriana Patti done with her finals yet?

Has Ann caught up? Has up caught Ann?

Am I going out to jog?

Will we have any Unseemly Trivia guesses?

Only six hundred more posts until I reach my new plateau.
