Another long day. Work all day and our first paid audience for Annie tonight. Thank goodness for Starbucks and diet coke.

Nothing else to say as I need to get ready to head to the theatre.

Page 6 Annie dance. Not to be confused with an Artie dance

Good to see TCB!

When I worked in Beverly Hills there was, a long gone, art gallery I would stop in to browse. One day I mentioned to the owner how much I loved going in there and how his art work reminded me of my grandfather's house. My grandfather was an art dealer & had paintings everywhere. Since his collection was constantly changing I never went to his house without looking to see what he had.

The owner of the gallery looked at me and sighed. He said he wished his children appreciated the artwork as I did since he knew they would sell everything once he was gone, unless he sold it first.

Sad news to report. My friend Peggy died last night. She was not in pain, from what I understand, and she knew that her family was with her.

I remember BK's rant a while back about cancer and just have to second that anger and that complete incomprehension at the randomness and illogical and ugliness of it all.

My most deepest condolences on the loss of your friend. At least she had the comfort of her family around her.

Just had a fire truck pull up to the people across the streets house. I hope everything is ok.

Before my mother died she sat on her bed with me and took out her jewelry. She didn't ask me what I wanted, only went through it all saying she needed to decide who would get what. Of course a caring daughter would not say what she wanted at a time like that. Later I told my sister and she said how grateful my mother hadn't done that with her.

My mother never labeled anything and my sister & I calmly and fairly sorted everything out. This is the same sister who locked me out of my father's place and moved what she wanted to her condo & even her daughter doesn't know what she did with the rest of it. After my sister died basically left at my father's was junk. I found a few things we wanted, mostly photos & papers. What I did get I had to take off of my sister's walls & I took less than I wanted. Recently I found out her daughter sold just about all of the paintings, including most of the artwork my sister had done. I was shocked.

When one of my grandmother's died she specifically left one lamp to my sister. For the life of me I could not figure out why she did this. Because i always loved that lamp. And my sister I don't think ever cared for it. Every time I go to my sister's basement I see that lamp.

Your grandmother might have been confused when she left the lamp to your sister. Have you ever asked her for it? Did your grandmother leave you something you can trade it for? If your sister doesn't want to give you the lamp maybe she will lend it to you.

Last night we finished season 2 of Downton Abbey. I attempted to see when season 3 would be available and couldn't find anything that didn't include spoiler's. You know I really don't want to know ANYTHING about what will happen.

Does anyone know?

I have a facebook friend who puts too much "junk" up. Mostly her take on life & political opinions & things she thinks are cute, pretty or inspiring. When I say too much, I just counted 15 so far today. I don't mind a few but 15!

Jane · « **Reply #162 on:** April 27, 2012, 06:07:06 PM »

Bruce since you are a mutual friend I know you are getting all of her crap as well.

I spent my time counting them all to see if I was over reacting.

After putting more than 400 miles on my car in about 36 hours I'm really tired - 'night!

Back from a turkey sandwich and no fries. I shall now hunker down and watch a motion picture or two on Blu and Ray.

Speaking of Ms. Streisand (well, TCB was a few pages back) I'm seeing her sister tomorrow at the Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts. Will I run into any forum members, I wonder?

In my CD player right now: "By Side By Side By Side By Side By Sondheim." I just finished listening to "The Perfect Year: The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber." Next (not until Monday, though) will be "Blame It on Bacharach."

You also miss important news from people by not looking. I get it though, you have too many friends

I did discover that Chipotle is pronounced Chip-Oh-Tel and not Chi-Pottle.
You might have a hard time in sections of San Antonio.

That said, I like the salad versions of what they do. Their tortillas are a big drawback.

I was in a San Diego coffee shop some 19 years ago, and it was a place I regularly visited after the workday was over on USS Kitty Hawk (my "home", as it were).

One day, they had a fine-looking selection of croissants. I ordered my coffee and told the young lady I also wanted a "croissant". I pronounced it the French way (kwah-'sant).

She looked at me oddly, and asked me to say it again. She then asked me to point to what I wanted. "Oh," she exclaimed, "you want a cross'-unt!"

Did you ask for a Margarita with Te-KWEE-lah? (as pronounced by the inspector's wife in Hitchcock's Frenzy)

This reminds me of the episode of "WKRP in Cincinnati" where Les Nessman kept pronouncing Chi Chi Rodriguez as "Chy Chy ROD-ri-GWEZ."
