Well, you've read the notes, wild horses couldn't have stopped you, and now it is time for you to post until the wild cows come home - the wild cows are trying to stop the wild horses and I tell you a melee has ensued, oh, yes, a melee has ensued.

Oh yes---I mentioned them in my first post, I think. I am looking forward to my drives in to work with one of my favorite songwriters/composers! That's a wonderful compilation, Tom...some I have heard before.

So... Since I know I can just leave the car here, and have it taken care of and towed away later, I'm gonna concentrate on other things today.  -I'll make the necessary phone calls tomorrow or Tuesday, since I really need a break from stressing about the whole car situation.. at least for a day or two.  In any case...

We'll be heading back over to my parents' new house in a few, and then I'll be heading back up to Fairfax with them this afternoon.  I just hope the rain doesn't make the trip back up 95 too "iffy".

Good morning, all!  My horoscope this morning assures me that all of this chaos in my life will balance out soon, and I do hope so.  I was so fraught yesterday that I didn't want to deal with anyone or anything, so I never left the apartment. I'm not sure how I'm feeling beyond the frustrations over the office situation and the general estate angst.  If I have to drag some of the work from the office to the apartment, I'll be using the fire escape as an office and DR MBarnum will ber SOL. I am not very happy at the moment.

So, DR Jose, please tell Steve hello.

Happy birthday to DR Cason's Heather!

Happy birthday to DR Jose's mother Carmelita!

What do you give to the lady who has given
All her life and love to you
What do you give to the reason you are livin'
I could window shop the world
Before I'm through

Mama, a rainbow
Mama, a sunrise
Mama, the moon to wear
That's not good enough
No not good enough
Not for Mama

Mama, a palace
Diamonds like door knobs
Mountains of gold to spare
That's not rich enough
No not rich enough
Not for Mama

Mama, a life time crowded with laughter
That's not long enough
Not half long enough

What can I give you
That I can give you
What will your present be
Mama, young and beautiful
Always young and beautiful
That's the Mama I'll always see...
That's for Mama with love from me.

And a
Happy birthday to DR Cason's Heather. Though they both seem to have dropped off the face of the earth! I guess Mr. Cason is busy w/rehearsals for Cabaret and Heather sits in Arizona awaiting his return, unaware of the multiplying birthday wishes at this here site.

Happy birthday to DR Jose's mother Carmelita. The Filipina with the Mostest on the Ball. I know it doesn't scan but it's Sunday morning.

We will soon be out. We will go to Housing Works to drop off a couple of donations. We will then head to Bed, Bath and Beyond to look for a new window fan. If BBB has nothing we will head up to K-Mart at Penn Station.

For some reason Bed, Bath and Beyond seem to carry almost exclusively the Holmes brand fans. I have had two of them and as far as I'm concerned Holmes products are crap with an electric cord. I've had nothing but trouble with both of the fans, which is why we need a new one. Anyway, moving on, it's beautiful in New York City today. It was very hot yesterday but less so today.

Last night I saw Crazy Mary at Playwrights Horizons. It's a new A.R. Guerney play starring Kristine Nielsen and Sigourney Weaver. It's an excellent show, well written and beautifully acted especially by Ms. Nielsen. She is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. She has done many of Mr. Durang's plays. She, Ms. Weaver and Mr. Durang all were part of the Yale School of Drama. I forget how tall Ms. Weaver is, plus she wears boots with heels!

Ms. Nielsen works a lot after looking at her bio but she should work more and be more well known (although I think in the NY theatre community she is well known) because she is SO good.

When I saw Lorna Luft make her nightclub debut in San Francisco (about a hundred years ago), she selected for her final encore, "Mama, A Rainbow" which in the final fade out became the notes to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."  It sounds kind of corny now, but was a beautiful moment at the time.

Hi Tom......yes, somewhat.  And I send thanks to all for nice wishes, thoughts, and vibes yesterday.  And even though I'm a pretty strong "anti-pill" person, I broke down last night and took a couple of antihistamines before bed.  They happen to really affect me hard, but they will let me sleep for 9 or 10 hours.

So, I'm trying to start today and just look at one thing at a time, instead of letting myself get swamped with the thought of what all I have to deal with and accomplish in the near future.

Sunday afternoon greetings!  At the end of my workday yesterday, I proceeded directy to the home of DH Richard's older brother for the high school graduation party of our DN (dear niece) Lauren.  Many relatives and friends and a good time was had by all.

This morning I had a nice sleep-in 'til almost 8am, had about 3 swallows of coffee, and got a phone call from the nursing supervisor at the retirement community where both my mother and aunt live.  My aunt was on her way, by ambulance, to the hospital near us, so I threw on some clothes and got there shortly after she did.  Her immediate problem, not life-threatening, is an attack of colitis.  They released her with a prescription for a new medication.  I got her settled in her home and went to visit my mom (they're sisters) and am now home myself.  Soon I will have to call my cousin in Georgia and give him an update on his mother.

Good Day!

It's much cooler today as tropical storm Barry has been sending his cool air, rain, and wind up our way. No complaints here. The cool air has been lovely for a Sunday in June.

And why am I logging on so late in the day for the first time? Easy to answer: some time during the early morning hours, the entire area of town where I live lost electric power. It did not come back on until almost 2 p.m., so I read my newspapers this morning by candlelight, and once there was some light (it's overcast today because of rain), I read two magazines, portions of two books I am in the process of reading, and then did some napping.

My DSL connection does offer 20 hours of dial-up time per month in case there is a power outage, but I thought it would make a nice change of pace to read all morning rather than surfing the net on the computer. So I didn't turn on the laptop at all.

Once I did get power back, I prepared my lunch and then began some viewing. First I completed watching the interview with actor  Graham Crowden on the IF. . . .  DVD. It was filmed this year, and he's still hale and hardy (didn't give his age, but he must be in his 80s now). He had lovely reminiscenes of Lindsay Anderson and Malcolm McDowell to share. I enjoyed his comments.

Next up was THURSDAY'S CHILDREN, the documentary on the Royal School for the Deaf which won an Oscar. It's a very heart-warming and inspiring look at how deaf four year olds get their first instrcutions in making sounds and leaning how words fit together to make sentences. It was narrated by Richard Burton.

I'm back from a lovely dinner with Mr Kevin Spirtas.  Tales were told and reputations made and broken.  It's the best cheer up, along with the kind words of my fellow DRs, a person could wish.

I've spent last evenng and this afternoon watching the great Masterpiece Theatre production of Balzac's black comedy COUSIN BETTE, with the incomparable battle-axe Margaret Tyzack and Helen Mirren.  Absolutely wonderful and far superior to the Des MacAnuff film with Jessica Lang, which confuses it with Zola's novel NANA. I think I'll reread Balzac's novel as well.

Well...

I managed to organize my boxes-o-stuff at my parents new hour in a little over three hours.  I emptied some boxes.  I organized some contents of some boxes.  I put some books on the shelves.  And I did another quick inventory of what I still had there.  Yes, it's a lot of stuff, but after another visit or two - or three - I should be able to get it all down to a manageable "volume".

And then I took on the driving duties for the trip back up to Fairfax.  The rain did cause some slow-down every couple of miles, but the traffic never stopped.

And now we're all at my brother's house waiting for the birthday dinner to arrive - Chinese take out!  ;)

After you finish Chaucer and Rabelais?

Now that you ask, I've never found CANTERBURY TALES much fun, and I think GARGANTUA AND PANTAGRUEL are impossible.  However, 19th-Century French authors Dumas, Balzac, Flaubert and Zola have much more appeal to me than Thackeray, Collins, and Scott.  I think the only 19th-Century British novelists I really enjoy are Dickens and Austen.

On another note, you might enjoy an Arlen-Gewrshwin-Harburg song from LIFE BEGINS AT 8:40 called Quarter Erotica or "Rabelais, deMaupassant, Boccaccio, and Balzac."

I had brunch with my Turner clients/friends and their family---I've gotten to know them over the years and love it when they come to visit. We picked up my gardening show producer on the way...she has become friends with these folks. too. The weather was glorious, breezy and cool, and we had lunch at their country club on the terrace. It wasn't crowded at all (maybe everyone was at church?) so we spent a good amount of time there.

Brunch was yummy and surprisingly cheap---I guess that's a perk for their exhorbitant membership fees.

Afterwards, we went to the new house, which our friend's family hadn't seen yet, and got some gardening advice from the gardening producer. She basically would love to come over there and garden for a living.

Now we're going to go out and try to find some dinner. Afterwards, we will install our FOURTH Westinghouse TV. The first one had a defective plug. The second was damaged in shipping and the screen was warped. The third was fine for months but suddenly the picture started jumping all over the screen after the set had been on for a half hour or so.

The annoying thing is, this trade should be covered under the year warranty, but the clock started ticking the day we got the first one, and not hte day we got one that actually worked. So although the warranty ran out, the fact that I paid for it with AMEX gave it another year of extended warranty. Yay!

But I don't recommend buying a TV from Crutchfield...the sets aren't packed well enough to stand abuse from UPS.

DR Laura-finally, about Sherlock and our trip.

Our friends (I met the husband the same day I met Keith and Penny) in Saugus convinced us to drive down in one day & spend the night with them.  One day, 10 ½ hours later & Sherlock just relaxed in the back of the SUV except for short breaks.  Once at there house he was an angel, didn’t even chase the cat.  Three of us in a full bed was a bit crowded. ;D

He was equally as good everywhere we went.  Keith’s mother was thrilled to finally meet him.  Our only problem in L.A. was finding places to eat with him, which weren’t located on a sidewalk.  Maybe when he is older we will tie him on the outside of a rail, for now we won’t.  When we did find restaurants that permitted dogs the place was packed with them.

Early Thursday morning we drove to the charming town of Santa Barbara.  We stopped to collect my almond macaroons and have a late, and delicious, breakfast at the Andersen Bakery.  We chatted with tourists from England (with Sherlock we meet the most interesting people) & had a very enjoyable time.

We then headed to Carmel where dogs are very welcomed almost everywhere, or it seemed so.  Most of the guests at the Cypress-Inn where we stayed had dogs (a Doris Day influence).  

The first night we had a wonderful meal at a charming restaurant called Casanova.

I've eaten, and am watching the special features on The Hustler - sadly, they're loaded with Dr. Drew Casper, Professor of Cinema at USC - if there's a worse person on these awful DVD features I haven't seen him.  This guy is the most smug, self-centered, annoying-looking (dear Dr. Casper, just because you are appearing in these extras really didn't mean you had to have facial work - and I'm not talking about a LITTLE work, either), nincompoop ever.  And his voice is so irritating that you want to throw something at him.  I'm sorry, but these pathetic people who are entrusted with these featurettes only need the TALENT from the film - if they can't get that, don't do the featurette.

The morning of our anniversary we took Sherlock to the beach for his first off leash romp in 3 months, and his first visit to the beach.  Oh what a happy boy he was.  He discovered the ocean isn’t for drinking & seaweed isn’t for eating.  ;D He romped and played with numerous dogs, always checking to see where we were and returning to us.

While walking around town found a nice Mexican restaurant for lunch & to give Sherlock a rest.  Late in the afternoon we sat on the patio of the hotel (once again resting Sherlock), next to the fireplace & had drinks before dinner.

Dinner was an incredible meal at Le Coq D’or- http://www.lecoqdor.com/menu2.html .  What the chef did with artichokes was luscious.  And the French onion soup was great.  Bruce you would have loved the whipped cream on our cheese cake.  We even ate every bit of it.

It was a perfect day with our perfect dog (almost perfect since we worry about him) in the town we spent the first night of our honeymoon 38 years ago.

Well...

Earlier I was over at my brother Don's place, and now I'm over at my brother Mike's place.  About an hour ago, I had taken Emily up to her room, and, literally, as soon as we walked into her room, she fell asleep.  And for about 20 minutes she was just snuggled on my chest.  :)  And then my brother, Mike, came in to put her in her bedtime clothes as well as a fresh diaper.  Of course, she ended up waking up and was bright-eye and bushy-tailed - and crawling around like crazy! - but she eventually got sleepy again.

-And, I think Uncle Jojo is a bit sleepy now too...

I've spent last evenng and this afternoon watching the great Masterpiece Theatre production of Balzac's black comedy COUSIN BETTE, with the incomparable battle-axe Margaret Tyzack and Helen Mirren.  Absolutely wonderful and far superior to the Des MacAnuff film with Jessica Lang, which confuses it with Zola's novel NANA. I think I'll reread Balzac's novel as well.

Yes, DR ELMORE, wasn't COUSIN BETTE wonderful?! Just loved it.

Dear reader Laura, the show is November 5th, a Monday evening.  We haven't quite decided on ticket prices but we're trying to keep them reasonable.  I think they'll be around fifty dollars - we're providing about three hundred seats for students in the balcony.  Those will be twenty bucks or so.  And, of course, we'll have about four prime orchestra rows as Gold Circle seating at $250 and those will include a little pre-show cocktail party.  There will also be a silent auction and I'm here to tell you we're going to have incredible stuff.

The fellow we bought our new house from was a member of the Magic Castle's Jr. Magicians Program, where he learned from masters of theatrical magic. He was the youngest recipient of an award from the Academy of Magical Arts.

When we were closing the deal, he did card tricks for us while we were waiting for paperwork to get faxed, etc. He was quite good. He also wrote the book on fire eating:

I had some entertaining programs to watch tonight.

I began with the remainder of the ANGEL episode I had started. Again, it was left with a cliffhanger. By this time in the show, there were very few stand alone episodes. They all ended in cliffhangers to brings folks back for the next episode. I do think I enjoy the earlier episodes more. Several of these felt like padding or filler and not episodes of consequence.

Next, I watched the first half of THAT TOUCH OF MINK. After DR Ron Pulliam talked about it on the forum the other day, I realized I hadn't seen it in many years. It's always been one of my favorite Day comedies.

I have the same DVD he discussed. Its main problem is that it isn't an anamorphic transfer. So, one has to use stretch mode on the TV to get the proper dimensions for the screen. Because Cary Grant and Doris Day were photographed through filters (she used heavier filtering than he did), their close-ups and medium shots always look slightly out of focus (because they are). The scenes with Gig Young alone or Audrey Meadows alone are much sharper. Not as good as they could have been had the disc been given a proper encoding, but much better than any scenes with Day or Grant sharing the frame.

The Eastman color is also too red. Most everyone looks as if they've been under a sun lamp. Artisan didn't do any digital clean-up on the print they used either. The DVD has dirt and specks all through it.

Even with all of this, though, I'm glad to have the DVD. It's tolerable.

I had planned on spending 8-9 p.m. watching STUDIO 60 from the DVR, but when I flipped on the cable/DVR box, there was THE WIZARD OF OZ just starting on TCM, and it looked and sounded so good (I'm sure taken from that Ultra-resolution version released last year on DVD) that I couldn't turn it off.

Tomorrow I will watch PRIMEVAL on the upcoming DVD, a horror film that was just released in theaters in January. The fact that it's on DVD now makes me think it's no world beater. However, I'll keep an open mind while I watch it.

Since it's based on a true story about a killer creature (in this case, a crocodile), it reminded me a bit in the liner notes about THE GHOST AND THE DARKNESS from several years ago.

And the wings aren't really that good, imho.  However, I do wish that the BW3's, still featured the original 3 W's - Wild Wing and Weck.  I think some of the BW3's still carry the original beef sandwich on those amazing rolls, but they're few and far between.

One of my alarm clocks in my bedroom (which is at the top of my 3-storey townhouse condo) displays the temperature.  When I went to bed last night, it was at 85.5° F!  Today, when I got back from rehearsal, it was 87.3°!!  That's pretty warm. :P

You can have it!  I don't have air conditioning, but I do have a ceiling fan and it's set on high.  I have it set to push down the air when I'm in my TV/computer room and when I go upstairs to sleep (it's actually a loft room that is open over my TV room), I change the fan to blow the air up so that it creates a breeze when I sleep.  That seems to help...a bit. :)

I have a garden level apartment with no air and is not actually that bad unless it is really, really humid outside

At least you're downstairs and my TV room is on the second floor and my bedroom is at the top (heat rises, you know).  AND the skylight in my bedroom doesn't open. :-\

Of course, Wattles Mansion is where I shot Weekday Heroes, my little documentary on LA kiddie show hosts of the fifties.  Our host was Tony Dow, and at the end we had a wonderful scene out on the lawn where everyone sang Sheriff John's Laugh and Be Happy.  We had several notable LA show bizzers out there, including the voice of Crusader Rabbit (Lucille can't remember her last name at the moment), and a famous puppeteer of LA (did Thunderbolt The Wondercolt (I'm so senile) and Billy Barty and others.

I may actually be putting this documentary on DVD, with some additional footage.
