DerBrucer, they say those abandoned mine shafts are common out here, although I've never seen one. I don't go out into the wilds, though.

It's a m-i-r-a-c-l-e!

How about something like:  "We did what we did because we like it and because it works.  If you don't like it, go take a hike!"

I soooo prefer that! However, if I'm going to give the public my musicological profile in Toyland, I have to do better.

I've been to rehearsal, I've been to the pharmacy.  Now I have a lot of work.  And I really (sigh) just want to play.

As I have mentioned in the past, the arrival of cable television came early to Medford, Oregon...around 1971 or so, when I was in second grade. It consisted of channels piped up from the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, and down from Portland. It was wonderful and kept my dad and I glued to the TV set at all times.

The first actual "cable" stations that I can recall was, I think, CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network) which I watched religiously (hee, hee, hee) as they showed reruns of BACHELOR FATHER, THE JACK BENNY SHOW, THE MANY LOVES OF DOBIE GILLIS, and MY LITTLE MARGIE.

A few years later USA started up and I recall it showing old horror and sci-fi movies and maybe some of the Irwin Allen TV shows of the 60s.

In the mid to late 80s TBS and TNT were great channels with tons of old, old, old movies, as well as AMC.

I first had cable in the mid '80's, after Chuck and I moved to LA - LOVED AMC and A&E, loved all the old movies, even watched the earliest incarnation of Comedy Central - oy, vey, was that a disaster... but somebody stuck to it, kept tweaking... voila!

Hi, All!

I won't be able to catch up for several more days but I'm popping in at work for a moment and wanted to say that we are now residents of Atlanta. We spent our first night there on Saturday. Sunday was a long day of more cleaning and packing at the old house, and we hope to finish most of it up today so the new folks can finish moving in.

The first night was rather a sleepless one. The poor cats had been locked up in the kitchen all day with lots of very loud noises going on behind the door. They finally busted out at the end of the move, to see a mostly empty house and then we left them there all day. They were stressed out when we came back and then we had to hunt them all down and catch them and put them in cages, which made us both feel weird, like we were conducting some sort of kitty pogrom.

The trip to Atlanta was kind of funny, with 4 cats meowing antiphonally. I wish I had a recording of it. I never realized their voices were so distinctive. They would repeat different phrases over and over and then change them, and it really sounded like they were talking to one another. It also sounded like one of those records you hear at Xmas with cats singling jingle bells, etc. Sometimes they would even make a chord!

We got them into the house (after bringing in my ancient kitty's ashes in) in the order that they had originally come to our house) and shut them in the bedroom, put all their cages on the bed and let them out. One immediately hid under the bed, another was too scared to come out of his cage and fell asleep in it, but the other two came out and scoped out the room. They seemed to be happy to be reunited with their furnishings. The trauma seemed to exaggerate everyone's personality quirks. But now everyone has emerged and I think they're going to love it there.

So far, they're confined to the bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. After we finish our move tonight we will introduce them, to the rest of the house!

Looking forward to catching up with HHW.

And remember-THE CLOSER season finale tonight!

WGN in Chicago also had some great programming.

AMC....s-i-g-h....was great while it lasted.  Talk about going from being the best movie channel anywhere to being the worst, bar none.
