Nothing planned as I am in my travel mode.
I will have my Ipod with me and thousands of songs to choose from.
Tempo Tempo - I guess that is tempii
Tempo fugit?
I always say
Is "Tempo Tempo" almost a reference to the controversial Mary Poppins stage musical song "Temper Temper" or vice versa?

Next week? Ohio?

Oh, my! Very nice picture Matt.
And many thanks to DR FJL for the invite last night to the upcoming gathering, but it's Palm Sunday and that's a strict attend Mass day with Mom (followed by some Easter shopping, I'm sure.)
Great new avatar, MattH!

Good morning!
Another cool, cloudy day here, and I'm enjoying sitting next to an open window in my office and breathing the glorious fresh air. Shouldn't get out of the 60s today, but a warming trend is ahead.

One Hundred Years of Solitude.
A funny story from a friend of mine who is a church organist and plays a lot of weddings.
I don't know...I kind of like their first option. You know, the section marked "The Sacrifice of the Virgin"? ;)
Well, there is certainly more to a wedding than the swelling of the organ and the coming of the bride.
I love you Larry, you make me happy

I woke up three times this morning BEFORE my alarm went off...and each time I thought it was Saturday and went back to sleep. When the alarm screeched, I knew the ugly truth of it all.
Sigh.
Anyway....I managed to dress and get in to the office. Here I sit, sinus pressure behind my eyes (alllergies), but otherwise ready to plow through the day and get this next weekend started.
I also have a whole list of official sh*t.
:)
I don't need no stinking sh*t.
DR Karen, you ought to fly in to Burbank late April and have dinner at Musso and Franks with us...and then go see Erick Estrada and Henry Winkler at the Marriott.

Do I see our very own mentioned-in-this-morning's-Times DR Edisaurus? Congratulations on the review!

After work tonight, I'm meeting some girlfriends at Books & Co @ The Greene (http://www.booksandco.com), for a speech and signing by Jeannette Walls, the author of The Glass Castle.
I go to sleep in, since it is Cesar Chavez day. Next week is Spring break! It shall consist of movies, sleeping, food, various selected people, and perhaps some small amounts of homework.

DR MBarnum ~ Just think -- the West Coast reunion will have the Grand Poh-Pah himself in attendance. Wonder if DR MusicGuy and DR Laura and the Phoenix contingency might be talked into taking a road trip...
That should be fascinating! The book certainly looks interesting.
Well, what a bummer experience for DR Edi -- multiple dysphemirical adjectives to that prep!!
I know Fred said he was seeing the 5pm showing so we may see him leave as we arrive. There is a review of S & V in the New York Times today as well as short reviews in the two freebie morning rags Metro and AM New York.
Hopefully the person who stole the wallet will get hit by a very large truck, be dragged for a block, and spend the rest of his/her life in traction.
Shopping at Macy's, heh? Sounds like a girl prep ... which department might be telling...
Ben - i'm most likely not making it to the 5 pm show. It's looking like I need to be by the phone until 5:30 for tax office matters. (I'm going to try to get to the movie during the week, probably when the tax stuff is quiet on Pesach.)
But I bought two tickets, so i contributed to the gross. :)
Sorry that I'm too tired to try and figure out how to do that linking thing...

When I was a kid, I had a cocker spaniel named Toby. What breed is your Toby?
Did the Randy Vicar put fruit compote ON his erector set, or was that an entirely different escapade?
Thanks for wishing ill to the evil-doer.
The only thing that I am REALLY SAD about is that the wallet contained my father's wedding ring, which I carry with me when I need extra luck. (This was from his marriage to my mom...they're not married anymore but it has great sentimental value to me.)
The other thing that was in the same zippered compartment was a pendant that my mother gave me. It had her birthstone, mine and my GaGa's, all in one. That is my other lucky talisman.
So I will rely on the good vibes of the DR's to help us with our opening night.
Well, we're talkin' about New York here. It ain't necessarily so.

Yeah, if it just ends with the groom flogging the bishop, then it hasn't been the most productive wedding...

You just go out and enjoy your amazing accomplishment tonight and don't worry about the rest - karma is taking care of it...

By Donald Snyder
AMSTERDAM —
“ … And the sun was shining as it’s never shone before in 1944. Our chestnut tree is in full bloom. It’s covered with leaves and is even more beautiful than last year.”
One of the best known and most poignant tragedies of the Holocaust is that of Anne Frank, a Jewish teenager who kept a diary of her more than two years in hiding from the Nazis in a cramped, secret annex of a building in Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
During her 25 months in hiding, Anne’s only connection to the outside world was a chestnut tree that gave her hope and comfort when she gazed at it from an attic window of her hideaway.
“ As long as this exists, this sunshine and this cloudless sky and as long as I can enjoy it how can I be sad.”
More than half a century later, gusty winds off the North Sea still buffet the bare, 150-year-old tree that gave Anne Frank strength.
It stands alongside a canal in a courtyard behind the house at 263 Prinsengracht, where the Franks hid upstairs. Seagulls still fly over the tree, swooping down suddenly to seek fish in the oily canal.
But now a deadly fungus is killing Anne’s chestnut tree.
Soon it will soon be cut down.
...
Timing is everything. Well, maybe that fart joke lightened the mood a bit. :)

Never follow an Anne Frank story with a fart joke.
A funny story from a friend of mine who is a church organist and plays a lot of weddings.Copland's Appalachain Spring is one of my favorite pieces.
At one pre-wedding consultation, the bride's mother declared that Stravinsky's Rite of Spring was to be played as her daughter walked down the aisle.
After several confused moments, it was determined that what she had meant was that she wanted the "Simple Gifts" tune from Copland's Appalachian Spring. Slight difference?

He passed out...
Here's an oldie but goodie we haven't told in a while. I believe the joke is called "Don't you love farts?"
A cute little old lady goes to the doctor and says, "Doctor I have this problem with gas, but it really doesn't bother me too much. The farts never smell and are always silent. As a matter of fact I've farted at least 20 times since I've been here in your office. You didn't know I was farting because they don't smell and are silent."
The doctor says, "I see. Take these pills and come back to see me next week."
The next week the lady returns. "Doctor," she says, "I don't know what the heck you gave me, but now my farts, although still silent, stink terribly."
"Good," the doctor said. "Now that we've cleared up sense of smell we'll work on your hearing."

I do too! Tonight will be very important to its future premiering in this new time slot. If it does OK or retains a great majority of the lead-in from IDENTITY, then NBC may think about renewing it. But if it sinks, NBC could pull it even before all the filmed episodes have aired.

It's a good read, not nearly as depressing as it sounds. The friends I'm meeting tonight all read the book together for our group in January.
In the strange things that happen on a Friday department - I just got a call from someone who's written a new musical, who has just offered me the lead in a staged reading in June. Isn't that funny? He's e-mailing me the script - not sure that this is something I really need to do, but if I were to like it, I'd certainly think about it.

I began my afternoon viewing with last night's ANDY BARKER, P.I. Again, a pretty feeble episode all told. I'm not sure how much more of a chance I'll give the show. I like Andy Richter on OLD CHRISTINE, but here, he and the actress playing his wife are just too precious for words, and their naivete gets old quickly.

And the back story (I think Matt H. mentioned it, also) really adds dimention to the character of Donald Strachey. :)

WEEHAWKEN, N.J. -- A New Jersey Transit commuter bus crashed into the center divider of Interstate 495 near the Lincoln Tunnel Friday night, causing major traffic delays.
The accident occurred at 7:30 p.m. and involved a bus bound for Paterson from the Port Authority Terminal in midtown Manhattan, said Dan Stessel, a spokesman for NJ Transit.
More than 60 people were on board the bus at the time of the accident, NewsChannel 4 reported.
Seven people with serious injuries, including the female bus driver, were also transported to hospitals. Officials said at least 26 others were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
Crews worked on the people on the bus, which departed from the Port Authority Bus Terminal and was headed for Patterson along Route 90.
Stessel told members of the media that he did not have information about how fast the bus was traveling when it struck the divider. The front end of the bus hung up on the guardrail.
Emergency crews from NJ Transit and the Port Authority police responded, using ladders to remove some passengers.
The accident forced closure of the outbound lanes of the Lincoln Tunnel helix, causing massive traffic backups.
The cause of the accident was not immediately known.
