Well, you've read the notes, the notes counted down, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently cownting down to 2009.

The Yellow Brick Road will no longer run to Studio City:

LATIMES

Quote

Longtime customers say goodbye to Sportsmen's Lodge

After thousands of receptions, weddings and other parties, the San Fernando Valley landmark is about to change.

On New Year's Day, the Sportsmen's Lodge and its collection of well-known eateries, including the Caribou Restaurant, Muddy Moose Bar & Lounge and a handful of banquet rooms, will be temporarily shut down for remodeling. A new owner plans to reopen the historic venue in Studio City as a modern restaurant and boutique shopping center, perhaps with a new name.

Out with the old - in with the new!

Tradition.

<sigh>

I just noticed that S. Woody has passed a milestone (not to be confused with a millstone, nor especially a gallstone ;))!

A QUESTION

The Governor of New York must appoint a Senatorial replacement for Den. Clinton.

He obviously will appoint a Democrat.

As the most junior Senator (until MN works itself out) we would suppose that any nominee would basically follow the Democrat Party line on the major issues of the day.

It would seem the real issue is which candidate could do the best job representing the parochial interests of New York State. That means New Yorkers want someone who can generated some clout in the Senate.

Does anyone think any potential candidate could possibly have as much Senatorial clout as the niece of the most powerful Senators in Washington?

Even if Caroline Kennedy's most serious reading is Vanity Fair, she could still bring home the bacon.

Why would a New Yorker consider anyone else?

Jose thanks for sharing the story from last night - it made me flash back to a similar incident involving a then 1 year old Vixter and some chocolate cake!

Sunday morning greetings!  Especially to DR Vixmom, who has a very cute new haircut!

Getting ready to go to Cincinnati for church and a little shopping before joining DR Elmore at a partay at the home of our friend Loyce.

I saw one of the worst movies I've seen in my life. The audience was awash in laughter although the movie was not a comedy. The film is called The Spirit and I am hoping that Samuel L Jackson received big bucks for this film. This was not one of his finest hours. Way way over the top. I went to it because I enjoyed Sin City and this film was a big mistake. In my opinion Frank Miller has no talent as a director and even though he directed a portion of Sin City I am sure that the main director Robert Rodriguez was there looking over his shoulder. I wish I could describe every moment that was bad. My friend and I would look at each other in disbelief at what we were watching. The highpoint (and I will it at that) was when Mr. Jackson appear in a Gestapo uniform.
