James Cagney: Yankee Doodle Dandy because it was so different from anything else he did around that time.
Edward G. Robinson: Haven't seen a lot of films of his, but Key Largo (also a Bogart film) is pretty good. He also did a program for Night Gallery called The Messiah of Mott Street (I think that is the name of the street) He plays an old Jewish man who is waiting for the Messiah. His grandson goes out looking for him and brings home a person who he believes is the Messiah.
Bogart: So many films: African Queen. Petrified Forest, The Big Sleep, The Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, To Have and Have Not, Beat The Devil (Did you know Stephen Sondheim worked on this movie!!)

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And it looks like the effects of Hannah here in Charlotte today may have already passed over during the overnight. -At least that's what it looks like outside right now.

I have some auditions to play in a few hours - preceded by a briefing for the prospective college students. So...

I'm hoping the weather in D.C. isn't too terrible.
I really would like to get to the Siganture tonight to see ACE (which features BK pals Emily Skinner and Christiane Noll, as well as Jim Stanek and Jill Paice) - but if it rains heavily, the transportation situation from the theater in Arlington back to the Doubletree in D.C. is untenable
-
And if I can't get to the Siganture, maybe I'll see what's at the Signature
-
Saturday morning greetings! Today's an information-waitressing day for me. When it's over, I'll only have 12 more to go!
-
I posted this thought on All That Chat, and no one seems to be interested in talking about it [I think there are other important theater matters going on, including Harry Potters private parts making their Bway debut last night] - so I figured I'd post it here, too, so that even if no one talks about it, it will remains googlable (is that a word?) on the innernet. :)
IIRC, 32 years ago, the theater community then was absolutely sure SO LONG 174TH ST was a terrible musical
And now, after its composer-lyricist Stan Daniels did not bless us with more fun scores but instead went back to Hollywood pretty much humiliated by his Broadway experience, it's being given a very promising chance at rediscovery.
I don't mean this as a poll, but it makes me wonder - should something like this be a sign that critics should comment on the shows in an interesting and (to their readers) entertaining way, but not set about eviscerating and maiming the talent of people whose work they're not liking.
I think of the many scores that we've been deprived of from people like the late Stan Daniels because the critics in the key outlets went after them with a machete rather than just finding a literate way of saying the piece just doesn't work.
SO LONG 174TH STREET got another chance as ENTER LAUGHING because the York Theater had the wisdom to do a Mufti series of Joseph Stein works. But how many talents were silenced ovr the years because the critics needed to be nasty for the sake of entertaining readers, rather just being advisors to their readers?

Enter Laughing will be playing here later this fall. So I just might go see it.

Good Morning, once again!
We're about to start here, and it looks like it will be a pretty decent group of high school seniors auditioning for the colleges who are in attendance here. I am reminded, however, just how much different this "game" is I'm comparison to the professional auditions.

When you're talking Bogart, Cagney Robinson and Raft, you're in my territory. The old gangster movies are my absolute favorites.
But, even though his heyday was a bit later, I'd add Broderick Crawford to that list. He did some pretty good gangster movies, too (e.g. THE MOB, NEW YORK CONFIDENTIAL, and aren't both ALL THE KING'S MEN and BORN YESTERDAY really cut from that same cloth?).
Favorite Bogat's: THE OKLAHOMA KID, DEAD END, THE ROARING TWENTIES, HIGH SIERRA, THE MALTESE FALCON, CASABLANCA, TREASURE OF SERRA MADRE, KEY LARGO, THE ENFORCER, THE CAINE MUTINY, THE DESPERATE HOURS, THE HARDER THEY FALL.
Cagney: ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES, THE ROARING TWENTIES, THE OKLAHOMA KID, THE STRAWBERRY BLONDE, YANKEE DOODLE DANDY, WHITE HEAT, RUN FOR COVER, MR. ROBERTS, SHAKE HANDS WITH THE DEVIL, MAN OF 1000 FACES

Ok, so how hard would it be to get from Bethesda to the Signature theater in Arlington to see ACE? I may be able to go Saturday night, if I can get a ticket.

DR Cilla, after the contempt I received during the last election for not liking Kerry, I understand how you feel. I was so fed up with the badgering I received from a friend I was the one who almost walked away. This time when I mentioned I wasn't keen on Obama, I at least did it prior to the primaries & I felt the conversation was more a sharing of ideas than badgering & contempt. I won't bring the subject up again.
I do not choose my friends for their political views. I'm sorry about your dear friend.
-
I have not seen a lot of their movies but here are the ones I enjoyed.
Bogart: Key Largo, Maltese Falcon, Casablanca
Edward G. Robinson: Cincinannati Kid, Double Indemnity, Key Largo
Cagney: Angel with Dirty Faces... I do recall him one called Ragtime
-
I am sorry to hear that also Cilla.... One's political views should not be the essence of a freindship.
Sadly I am not keen on either Obama or Mccain. They both have to do a lot of talking in my book.

Thanks Jane. I will say, during the last election I did my share of throwing stones (figuratively) and not being very pleasant to some who didn't share my views, although I didn't really like either candidate. So, I think I have gotten a bit of my own medicine, so to speak.
At this point, I'm walking away from that friendship, but he won't notice because he isn't talking to me ::)

It looks like I could take a cab or the metro and a cab and get to the theater. My last class is supposed to end at 5:00 PM on Saturday. So the question, should I get a ticket to ACE for Saturday night?

I'm puzzled by "not liking" a candidate. As George W proved, the candidate is only the puppet for the party since our current president seems incapable of pullibng any of his own strings. I have no wish to know Mr Kerry, Mr Obama, Mr McCain, Ms Palin, or any of the candidates personally, nor do I wish to become their personal friend. I dislike the Republican party's attitude on so many issues, from civil rights to the religious movement to the conflict in Iraq on down, that I would vote for Rin-tin-tin if he were running on the Democratic ticket. I don't like the current regime and I don't believe their hoped-for replacements will offer any more but the same and perhaps uglier alternatives.

Oh, I love taffy!! When I was little my Great Aunt Nan came to our house and made it, since we didnt' have a taffy puller (like in the photo) she pulled it....and jumped rope with it, lol. It didn't touch the ground or her feet, but it was amazing to a little girl who had never seen such a thing.

I remember when I took a certain amount of pride that I was a liberal Democrat, as I was in the class of people who were open to different views & opinions without condemning. Sadly, since the last election, I have found the opposite to be true.
I also live in a liberal town where the conservatives tend to keep a low profile out of self defense. When we lived in Pennsylvania our town was mostly conservative & I was blasted for my liberal views. I'm not aren't talking politics, simply my lack of prejudice to other groups of people.
-
Indeed TD, I was up very early. I awoke around 5 am, cuddled with Bosco and Freddy until 5:30, and when it looked like I could not fall back asleep I got up had my coffee, read the paper, looked at HHW and Ebay, and then collapsed back into bed.
I am now up, but feeling kind of blah. I think some thrift shopping will do me a bit of good.
-
DR Cilla, I smiling at the thought of your Great Aunt Nan pulling taffy. How delightful for you.

Anyway, I need to run if I'm going to get to the farmer's market.

So mission accomplished. Now I can buy tomatoes
-
Back from the long jog - not the easiest, but not the hardest. I've shaved and will shower in a few minutes.
-
And I promise not to throw the tomatoes at anyone...even if they deserve it :)
-
DR elmore, I can't speak for others, however when I say I don't like, or I do like, a candidate I'm not referring to my interest in having a personal friendship. I'm stating how I feel about them as people, their views, etc, & their skills to be the leader of our country.

DR Jane - you asked last night, after I'd crashed, if I'd be going to the October meeting in NYC. The answer, even before I decided to retire, has been NO all along. I have too many family obligations in October that require vacation time for me to ask for professional development time, too. I went to a comparable conference in Cleveland in early June.
And, that's also why Richard and I took a vacation trip to NYC last weekend - I couldn't let a whole year go by without at least one visit to The City.
-
DR Ginny, I suspected you weren't going when you made your recent trip. You missed my asking while you were in NY-gosh, didn't you read all the posts? ;)
I hope October is a very fun family filled month for you.
-
DR Laura, did it stay quiet in your neighborhood last night?
-
Good Afternoon!
Je suis fini.
And it did turn out to be a nice morning, and I had a lot of "breaks" since there were maybe only 20 singers out of 55 people who auditioned.
And, now, off to the Festival of India.
*And, yes, DR MBarnum I shall take pictures of some of the cultural highlights. ;)

October 25-31 - road trip to Wisconsin for Richard's graduation from Nashotah House.

DR Cillaliz - That's a bit of a hike from Bethesda to South Arlington where Signature is. In no traffic, it would be about a 30 to 40 minute drive since there's no direct route there. The Metro ride to Metro Center on the Red Line, then the transfer to the Blue Line to get out to Pentagon City would also be about 45 minutes.. Then the 10 minute cab ride to the theatre. So, if you do plan to see the show just make sure to leave directly after your class. -And there are plenty of dining choices around the theatre.
*Oh, the cab ride from Bethesda to Signature would probably run you about $50.00 or more. And that's if you can find a cab to bring you from Maryland into Virginia.
-
Cilla - If you arrive at the Pentagon City Metro station, there should be cabs lined up there. But even though the Signature site says the cab fare is about $7 from that stop, that's a bit out-of-date; it ended up being about $12 both times in good traffic, which is not a big difference in real dollars, but just so you know the cab driver isn't trying to con you. :)
For the cab ride back, you may need to have the theatre call you a cab; they didn't seem to be roaming the street, even in the beautiful shopping area of the Shirlington Village, where the theatre is. This is easy in the daytime where if someone takes your cab, you can go back in and get them to call another one; but we did have a problem with the drivers taking other people even though a cab was called by the theater for us.
-
DR Ginny, sounds like you will have a fun October. I didn't really expect you to see my question the first time I asked it.
-
DR Ginny, sounds like you will have a fun October. I didn't really expect you to see my question the first time I asked it.

For the last hour Sherlock has been flopped in front of the door to the garage. He is up now that he heard me fill his treat bag.

I just finished watching the first half of the new DVD of HOW THE WEST WAS WON.
Obviously, the film loses a lot on a television screen, even a 50" one like mine. So much of the picture was filmed in long shots to take advantage of the Cinerama process, but, dramatically, this is a negative on a smaller screen, since you can't see much of the actor's faces except in a rare medium close-up.
On the plus side, the scenery is gorgeous, the score is magnificent and the action sequences, though no longer engulfing, are still exciting. The script is servicable, if not compelling.
Now, on to Part II.

Magic Mommy and both Grandlads are down to their trailer for the weekend (Son-in-Law is still working on my ex's house in California trying to get the dump in "sellable" shape). We agreed to pre-prep a dinner so we can all eat-in rather than have her brave the elements to go out for dinner. After shopping at the market, we went to the trailor to drop off some stuff. The Grandlads were thrilled! Not by the bags of candy, but by the bananas and apples! Grandpa brought fruit! It's so easy to bring pleasure to third world children.
der Brucer
And here's hoping it doesn't blow too hard - it seems renting a seasonal trailer space isn't enough - we have to add a patio, a deck, a gazebo and a large awning attached to the trailor.
-
But how many talents were silenced ovr the years because the critics needed to be nasty for the sake of entertaining readers, rather just being advisors to their readers?
I suspect that NY print reviews that are "entertaining" are in more demand by publishers than those that honestly seek to enlighten the public. Nasty critics sell papers. Unlike the good old days, when a show had everything hang on a B'Way run, today we have regional theatre's willing to take a chance on works without a B'Way pedigree. We also have CDs and the Internet to help expand an audience appreciation for a show un-crowned by the NYT. Hopefully, the 21st Century will silence fewer creative voices.

You sell W. short - the man has a Harvard MBA and is quite capable of steering his own destiny. He picked Cheney, he picked Rumsfeld, he picked Ashcroft, he listened to Karl Rove. He maneuvered the party as much, if not more, than they maneuvered him - and more than anyone, he deserves the blame!

I'm not aren't talking politics, simply my lack of prejudice to other groups of people.

Actually I didn't make it to the market. As I was walking to my car I discovered that the furniture store that I thought was closed long ago was having their absolutely final closeout blowout sale. (or something like that) So I wandered over and found a great carpet remnant 12 ' x 9'3" that will be a great area rug when I finish my room downstairs. It was a whopping $15!
I also found a giraffe that's about 3 feet tall, it's sitting down. Why I need this I don't know, but it was something like 93% off and I fell in love with it.
-
and in today's mail, I received my referral to a nutritionist. I'll call on Monbday and see when I can make a date.
-
You should have seen the look on the guy's face who was helping me load the car when I told him that 12 foot roll of carpet was going in a Prius. LOL!! Why he didn't believe me I don't know, but with only a little sticking out the hatch back it fit in. I was able to get it down the basement with the help of my litte hand truck, so I am good to go.

I'm trying to find a good recipe for a dip (one that does not need to be heated) to make for my niece's birthday party. I'm tired of the ones i've already done (7 layer, spinach, artichoke).
Usually i make these dips to go with chips. But i think this one will be for little carrots.
I"m also trying to find a good dessert.I really wanted to make the olive garden cookie dough cheesecake. But it takes 4+ boxes of cream cheese, which would make it quite expensive here!

Cillaliz, thank you for taking me one more step away from stupidity. Two weeks ago I bought a bottle of Tostita Brand Creamy Salsa Dip. I loved it, but I was wishing it would be on sale, so I could take it to work someday. The idea of combing sour cream with salsa never occurred to me! :P

Momma elephant Rose-Tu's baby boy was born Aug. 23 but the little Asian elephant still doesn't have a name — and the Oregon Zoo in Portland is asking for your help in choosing one.
The public is asked to vote online at www.oregonzoo.org for the favorite finalists, as whittled down by the zoo's staff, The Oregonian reported.
I suggest we nominate MBarnum as the official HHW elephant namer and have him find a suitable candidate name - then we all vote!

DR Der Brucer, I see on weather.com that the storm is about to hit Delaware, nd for all I know you're already in the midst of it. Is everything looking okay for your community?
So far ok - it's gusty and rainy but nothing spectacular.
Thanks for asking.

I just finished watching HOW THE WEST WAS WON.
The train robbery scene is still terrific, even though, on the small screen, you're not engulfed in it.
What's most impressive is that the stunts and epic moments are accomplished without the help of CGI.
This new 3-disc set also has an excellent feature-length documentary on the 3rd disc about the history of Cinerama and the making of HTWWW.

I also found a giraffe that's about 3 feet tall, it's sitting down.
What do the Girls think?

And where is the picture?

The rain has begun here, but I can't tell how bad it is outside because I don't see anyone on the street.

Cillaliz, thank you for taking me one more step away from stupidity. Two weeks ago I bought a bottle of Tostita Brand Creamy Salsa Dip. I loved it, but I was wishing it would be on sale, so I could take it to work someday. The idea of combing sour cream with salsa never occurred to me! :P
Always happy to assist. This way you can use a little or a lot of the salsa and make a little or a lot of dip. Then you still have salsa and sour cream for other things. Pretty slick, no?

It's already narrowed down to 5 names
http://www.oregonzoo.org/Voter/vote_form.cfm
Amul: Hindi for "priceless, of inestimable worth."
Bao: Chinese for "precious treasure."
Duc: (rhymes with hook or look): Vietnamese for "good, moral, desire." (Also is a portion of former Trail Blazer Kevin Duckworth's name, honoring the late basketball player.)
Hugo-Tu: This name honors the baby's mother, Rose-Tu, and maternal grandfather, Hugo. Hugo comes from the Germanic word for "mind, heart or spirit" and Tu is Vietnamese for "tree."
Samudra (nickname Sam): Hindi for "lord of the ocean." (The calf loves his baths!)

TIP: If you enter the library listening to your iPod, do not sing along.

What do the Girls think?

And where is the picture?
The girls have sniffed. I left them alone with the giraffe and came back to the office where I returned a call to the guy I am going to barter with. He'll seal the basement wall and hang drywall and I'll do the work on his Naturalization petition. He'll become a citizen and I'll get the room in the basement finished!
I'll post photos later

Usually i make these dips to go with chips. But i think this one will be for little carrots.
Get a good quality bottle of Ranch Dressing, put it in a bowl and garnish with chopped chives (or green onion tops) - perfect dip for veggies.

I shall take pictures of some of the cultural highlights.

I think I prefer Hung-Tu!

Good Afternoon!
Well, instead of heading right to the Festival of India right after I was done this morning, I joined my friend, Lisa, for lunch at Mert's. Meet's serves Southern and soul food, and I usually end up having at least one meal there whenever I've come down here for SETCs.
I finally tried their pulled pork BBQ today - which was basically the only thing on their menu I hadn't tried before. It was good, not great, and my sides of okra, collard greens and Charleston red rice were good as always. -The BBQ was served in a small bowl, not on a bun. However, the corn bread was friggin' fantastic today. The mini-loaves had just come out of the oven, and they had a great crunchy crust and an almost cake-like interior. The corn bread truly made the meal.
-
Do you make dill pickles too?
Not anymore.
We used to do tomato juice, applesauce, pick-a-lillie, sweet pickle relish, dill pickles, as well as freezing fresh vegetables. . .
These days, it's down to tomatoes and beets.
-
I think I prefer Hung
:-X
-
I think I prefer Hung-Tu!
Sorry, my apologies, it is supposed to be Hugo-Tu.
-
Then it was off to the Festival of India.
They had set up all the food booths outside on the plaza, and the exhibits and performances took place in the theater. I didn't partake of any of the food, but since they'll be set up tomorrow, I'll probably just grab a dosa and a falooda during my lunch break.
At first I didn't think it was well attended, but then once I stepped into the theater to watch some of dance demonstrations, I realized that that was everyone was. I was able to catch the last half hour of the afternoon program. The dancing and the costumes were lots of fun to watch, but what was most impressive was that almost of the dancers were teenagers, young women and young men! Some of the dancers even had their own cheering sections in the audience.
I walked around for a little bit before heading back to my hotel room, but I'm sure I'll make a return visit tomorrow.
-
Hmm... Pick-A-Lilly!!! :)
-
I also found a giraffe that's about 3 feet tall, it's sitting down. Why I need this I don't know, but it was something like 93% off and I fell in love with it.
Photo please!
-
I've been addicted to sour cream with chunky salsa mixed in lately. It would be more for chips but man is it easy. Bottle of favorite salsa, sour cream. Mix.
That sounds interesting.
The first thing I thought of was a package of Lipton onion soup stirred into a container of sour cream. I used to love that.
-

;D Sounds like a good exchange.
-
DR Jane - It's still Toffee to me.
Sugar (or treacle) and water
Candy Apple = Toffee Apple here.
We do not use the term "Taffy" here - except as a term for a Welshman!
-
Of course in the Pacific NW I would assume Toffee, Taffy and tuffy are all pronounced the same way.
I wonder if that volga boatman is still around.
(Of course the Volga is a reference to Tartar!)
-
TOTD.
See DR Elmore's response.
-
DR Jane - It's still Toffee to me.
Sugar (or treacle) and water
AND Cream of Tartar.
-
Speaking of Elephants - I had no idea until I recently watched the series "Wild China", that there were still wild elephants in China.
-
I wish that rule applied to people walking down the sidewalks in New York City and on the subway. ;)
Lordy, yes!
-
I think I prefer Hung-Tu!
Deleft or Daright?
-
If Rodzinski were to be I would mention Tartar as being a Clyde McPhatter referece. He's not so I wont.
-
It is still toffee here too.
I have one piece of taffy here to eat I think I'll do now.
-
I've been watching the DVD of the 2006 Royal Ballet revival of their 1946 version of THE SLEEPING BEAUTY and it's quite wonderful. In the early 1950s NBC broadcast the ballet with Margot Fonteyn and that broadcast is now on DVD as well. It's nice to see it in color and know what it's supposed to look like. The orchestra plays the score beautifully.
-
There is of course a most famous taffy pulling scene in Come and Get It between Frances and Joel McCrea.

I've been reviewing a lot of the new Blu-Ray re-releases of Opus Arte titles. I liked La Boheme more than Il Trovatore, Blu-Ray wise.
-
I don't know of Frances McCrea. But that's hardly surprising. I've still only seen Francis the Mule.
-
Hmm... Pick-A-Lilly!!! :)
There was also chow-chow involved.
-
I don't know of Frances McRae. But that's hardly surprising. I've still only seen Francis the Mule.
There was of course a Frances McCrea, AKA Frances Dee, Joel's lovely wife.
-
To be honest I don't even know of Joel! (Although my memory does seem to link him with some "Western" or other - which I wouldn't have watched).
and "Dee" to me is a river in Scotland (or maybe Mrs Darin).
No wonder I didn't list any films by Raft, Cagney and Robinson.
-
The Blu-ray release of HOW THE WEST WAS WON is going to include as a bonus the "smilebox" version of the film which helps compensate for the curvature of the screen which Cinerama cameras perpetrated on the image. Robert Harris has said this is the way to watch the film in the home, and I, for one, can't wait to get that effect on my 56" screen. I'm going to move my chair closer to the screen when I watch it to see how close I can get to the feel of the Cinerama experience.
-
Our House Sitter arrives today so I guess I shall not be posting much in the next few days. I'm back here on October 19th
-
The A/C kicked on this afternoon just as I suspected it would, and it certainly feels warmer than the 82 they estimated for today.
-
While I cooked and ate lunch, I watched last night's MONK. As DR Elmore said, it was a fine episode. In fact, I'd say it was the best, least irritating episode in the last three years. I easily guessed the murderer's identity in the final puzzle. The giveaway clue (like they always provided in MURDER SHE WROTE) was easily observed if you were paying attnetion, and I was pleased that I immediately picked up on it.
And I loved seeing guest actors from previous episodes enacting their characters again. Too bad more of them couldn't have been rounded up for the 100th episode (would love to have seen Stanley Tucci doing his Emmy winning role again).
-
Then, more CSI: MIAMI. Ugh! The show was never the best CSI, but it's now the worst by such a wide margin that it's painful for a one-time fan to see.
The episodes are in broadcast order rather than in production order which has been the case with all of the previous seasons of the show.
-

Hi all! Just wanted to pop in to make sure everyone has weather TS Hanna.
We had cloudy skys with a very small touch of rain from her yesterday.
I confess, I'm a bit worried about our friend, Ike. It's more like Yikes!
I saw a reference to bilberry. I've been taking that for years. It's very good for your eyes.
When I have these mini surgerys and I'm not allowed to take anything for a week or two before it, I really notice the difference. Everything goes fuzzy.
In fact, you may not have known it but whenever I go to the theater I take one or two just before I go in. It really helps me see the stage.
-
I'm also very glad to report that Bear is doing very well.
I may not be able to take any trips this year but it was well worth the price. :)
-
Hi Danise. I was just going to email you & ask if Hanna is headed your way.
-
DR Tomovoz,
HAVE A FANTASTIC TIME!!
-
DR Danise, GREAT NEWS about Bear.
Oh, is it Ike, not Hanna headed your way?
-
Hi Danise. I was just going to email you & ask if Hanna is headed your way.
Thanks for asking, DR Jane. Like I said, all eyes are on Ike right now. He could be a bad one. :P
-
Please keep us posted how you are, and if you loose power call & I will share the news.
In fact, all dear readers affected by these scary storms, please do the same.
-
I also hope you have a wonderful time DR TomovOZ.

I received this note from Bob "Elusive Butterfly" Lind yesterday
Just a note to tell my New York friends and fans -- and friends and fans who may be passing through New York in mid-October -- that I'll be playing THE CUTTING ROOM, one of the most prestigious clubs in the country on Thursday, October 16th.
It will be my first-ever appearance in the Big Apple and it couldn't be at a better venue.
If you're unfamiliar with THE CUTTING ROOM, it features world class talent the likes of Joan Rivers, Pete Best (of the original Beatles), Chad and Jeremy, Jesse Colin Young and the incomparable Jimmy Webb (who, along with his manager, Robin Siegel, graciously helped me get the booking).
Here are the details:
Thursday October 16
The Cutting Room
19 W. 24th Street
New York City
Show starts at 8 pm
Tix: 212-691-1900
-
I would call him Baboo!
I would call him "Tiny".
I will keep in touch--if we don't lose power. Then there is no phone or internet. I don't know if my cell phone will work or not. It will depend on if the towers are up or not.
-
Thank you for the good wishes DRs. I shall of course be seeing DL François

And of course please say hello from me.

Bob Lind does not live on "Nostagia" tours of 1960's artists. He still records and performs. Sad really that he is probably mostly remembered as a "one hit" artist.
-
One of Keith's all time favorite songs.
-
I'm still of a mind that if a CAT 4 or 5 hurricane looks like it's heading our way, I will toss the dogs and what I can into Bonnie and head whichever way (North or South) that it isn't.
-
Have a wonderful trip Tomovoz!
-
I can't imagine going to one of the local shelters. Most are schools that went to the lowest bidder to build. At least my house is brick.
-
Well... That was a nice nap. :)
-
Thank you Michael.
-
And now I'm on my way to the "fancy dinner". Should be wonderful as always.
-
DR Danise, any idea when the storm might hit your area?
-
I came home early all this week to take care of Bear. Yesterday, I gave him his meds, put the cream all over his stitches and then felt so tired I thought I would lay down to a small nap. That was at 3:30. I woke after 7!
I guess it was just the stress of the week finely catching up with me.
-
"Elusive Butterfly" evokes that period of gentle time of hope for humanity!
Bob Lind responds to mail and seems like a really pleasant man.
-
I'm sure, nice you could nap though.
-
DR Tomovoz - I wish you and Colin Very Safe Travels, and I know you two will have a wonderful time on the Continent and in London. Bon Voyage!

Dani, any idea when the storm might hit your area?
Right now, it's to up in the air. It's so far out that it could go anywhere.
A lot will depend on what happens if/when Ike enters the Gulf. If it hits when a cold front comes through, that could push it our way. If nothing bothers it, they say it should just keep moving west. Maybe hitting poor Texas again.
That's the trouble with these things. They can turn back on themselfs, do a loop, sit and spin, etc, etc. Look at Fay--she crossed the state south of us and then came back over just north of us. One never knows.
All anyone can do at this point is make sure the car is gased up, you have plenty of batteries and food/water and some cash because the teller machines won't be working without power.

To cure my recent temptations to get another pet all I needed to do was change the sheets. I miss the brief period when I could simply remove the sheets from the bed & throw them in the washer, without spending 20 minutes rolling hair off of them first.

Yesterday, I was in such pain. When I came home from work, I got my pain pill, and then sat and tried to relax. Two hours later, the pain pill had no effect whatsoever. I then got up to get some more juice, and found the pain pill still sitting on the counter where I left it when I got home. ::)
-
Oh TCB! Did the pill work once you took it?

Just saw the weather on the news. Most of what I told you is pretty up to date. They don't think we will really know where Ike is going until the middle of next week.
I must say that I'd rather face a hurricane then some of the other things, like an earthquake or tornado. At least we know it's coming and can prepare.

Tomovoz, I keep meaning to tell you about the 3 new bears we have. They used to sit on my mother in-laws bed. One is the panda we purchased at the San Diego Zoo during her 80th birthday visit. Then there is the cute Grandmother bear the boys sent her for Mother's Day a few years back. The third is a little white one I think was in a flower arrangement we sent for some holiday, birthday or Mother's Day.
They are sitting on an old chest we have at the foot of the bed. When we watch TV I turn them around to watch with us, otherwise they are facing the bedroom door.

I visited my Dad on Friday. I was telling one of the residents of the hostel that my father used to write a fishing column for a regional newspaper. He called himself "Groper" (a kind of fish here). The lady at his luncheon table immediately responded with "He'd better not grope me".

Sorry I stepped away to see what the dogs were barking about.
Bear is so cute--he just sticks his head out the doggie door to see what is going on. If it requires his further attention, he goes ahead and goes out. If not, then he just gives a couple of woofs and then pulls his head back in.
The people next door were mowing their yard.

DRs please dont be offended if you don't receive a postcard and someone else does! I usually have about 100 to write and I am quite likely to forget about anyone who lives in obscure places like Texaco in the Pacific North West. I'd appreciate it if people "share" greetings on the board here.

Back from a wonderful LACCTAA event - Barbara was superb and the attendees loved and adored her. Of the eighty-five or so that had RSVPd, about forty-five actually showed up. That's not so good, and I'm going to try to circumvent that from happening for Karen Morrow's event.

On the football broadcast I am watching, the announcer asked his co-announcer to do the introductions for a new quaterback. The announcer says, "What the coaches like about this quarterback are the intangibles."

Our system is very structured in personnel matters. When my predecessor retired, I'd been assisting him for about 3 years and we were under a hiring freeze. So, then the job was just handed to me. Now, it's an upgraded position (remember when I had to apply and compete for my own job?) and will have to be posted internally for 2 weeks, etc. My manager would like to get permission for some overlap between me and the next person, but that rarely happens. It will be very interesting between now and the end of December.
-
DR Cilla-He looks like the baby to our giraffe. Ours was also on sale though I'm sure not at 93% off.
I also like the table he is sitting on.

DR Ginny, I'm sure the new person would like overlap as well. I hope you won't be receiving a ton of calls after you retire.

Good Evening!
Well, what a lovely evening this turned out to be!
During the Fall Convention, the Central Office of SETC (http://setc.org) hosts a "fancy dinner" at La Vecchia's Seafood Grille (http://www.lavecchias.com/) for the board members and basically anyone else who wants to come along. It's a chance for everyone to have a nice meal in the middle of all the meetings and auditions that take place over the weekend. -And La Vecchia's is a very nice restaurant - "Charlotte's Only 4-star Mobil Travel Guide Restaurant".
I went to my first dinner last fall, and went to my second one tonight. It was quite the assortment of board members, teachers and company reps. I think there were about 45 people there at two long(!) tables. For my entree, I chose their Blackened Seafood Trio (Shrimp, Scallops and Tilapia) with Andouille Sausage, Caramelized Shallots and Roasted Mushrooms over Cheese Grits. YUM!! And for dessert, I had their Chocolate Crunch Torte. Another YUM!
And, best of all - and as a total surprise - the head of SETC bought my dinner for me! :)
*Guess I should have ordered some wine and an appetizer. ;)
-
I'm listening to Mrs Herb Alpert's wonderful rendition of "Rio" - the Mike Nesmith song.
-
I am thinking about ice cream.
That is all.
-
DB, I've seen that map. It is very difficult for me to see maps well enough to read.
In words:
If IKE is to threaten mainland Florida, it will have had to make a course change to the north by 2PM Monday.
If IKE is to threaten the Tampa bay area, we will see a major course change by 2PM Tuesday. (If IKE is going to Tampa, it needs to skip passing over Cuba, therefore it will remain a strong storm.
If Ike follows his nominal track, by 2PM Wednesday we should have a better feel for whether it will:
A. Veer sharply right and head for the Fla Panhandle
B. Veer sharply left and head for Texas or Mexico.
C. Stay on its nominal track and slam ashore at Southern LA, MISS, or ALA
It seems unlikely that New Orleans will escape a major impact (something between a direct CAT 4 hit to a glancing blow from a CAT2 hitting Mobile Ala)
Does that help?

DR MBarnum - I did take some pictures of the "cultural highlights" at today's Festival of India, alas, most of them were not euphemistic. ;) I did not bring my card reader with me, so I won't be able to post any of my pics until I get back to NYC. However, I was fascinated by some of the hair "decorations" that some of the dancers wore. One mother commented that she had spent six hours weaving the small flowers and ribbons into her daughter's hair. Truly beautiful work.

DR Tomovoz - Are you flying directly to Paris from Melbourne? Or are you first flying to Sydney and then proceeding from there?

...And now I'm watching the end of "Catch Me If You Can" on ABC... I think this is the only film where I actually like Leonardo Di Caprio. And it was also the first major film that Amy Adams was in. :)

It got much warmer here today than anyone was expecting, and unlike every other night this past week, it's not cool enough for me to open things up and cool the house down with fresh air.
Thus, I'm destined to go to bed tonight with the A/C turned on automatic and hearing it click on several times during the night.

I spent the entire night with Horatio Caine and company in Miami. I watched seven episodes tonight. A couple were good mysteries, but Horatio's son was introduced as a recurring character this season, and I find the kid insufferable so I always dread any episode where he appears.
It's even worse later in the season when the lousy non-actress Elizabeth Berkeley appears as his mother for several episodes.

Some UK "Chocolate" now has to be renamed as it does not meet with EEC standards. I think Cadbury in the UK is much the same as in OZ. I am nevertheless taking a small supply of "Frogs" and "Bears" for my UK friends.

I would think I should be able to get 10 or 11 episodes watched tomorrow. That would still leave a few for Monday, and there's that new vampire series beginning on HBO tomorrow night (and the return of ENTOURAGE) which I'd like to watch either "live" or at 10 from the DVR.
The new vampire series is by Alan Ball, and if it's even half as good as SIX FEET UNDER, it'll be well worth watching. It's gotten good reviews so far.

I'm back from a wonderful anniversary dinner with Ron and Dona and 10 guests. The company was excellent as was the meal. I sat with Mr & Mrs John Simon, who's one of the most erudite men I know even when I don't agree with his drama criticism, Howard Kissel, and Dona at one end of the table. Ron's section of people included director John Margulis and his wonderful wife Judy, who's with the Metropolitan Opera and who's also been diagnosed recently as a diabetic, and Jim and Patricia Wand. Jim was one of the writers of PUMP BOYS AND DINETTES and Patricia was a cast replacement in the original production of VANITIES, so part of tonight's discussion was the new musical version.
The dinner choices were scrumptious: caesar salad or soup, roast chicken or salmon, which I had with eggplant and some strange wonderful veggie, butterscotch parfait or cheesecake and fruit. I finished it off with some peppermint tean and I'm home and ready for bed.

Instead of being restless, I had a telephonic conversation that I needed to have, and it was good to have it, and I'm no longer feeling restless. That's one thing Barbara does so well - communication and getting to the root of things, which is what I did in this conversation. I hate when there's no clarity, and that's what the conversation was - about clarity and I was very clear and now there is clarity, in fact there is clear clarity.
-
Now that I am no longer restless, whatever shall I do? I just don't feel like watching a movie I've seen many times, and besides it's just a wee bit too late in the evening to start something new. Actually, I got a small batch of DVDs today from Ian Whitcomb - of some live performances he's done - perhaps I'll give those a look-see. I'd go take a drive, but where would I drive? Plus I'm driving to Santa Monica tomorrow so why waste gas this evening. I'm also supposed to be having either lunch or dinner tomorrow with Mr. and Mrs. Murphy - Cason and his ever-lovin' mum, Karen.

I'm going to wait until January to start, as always. I ran my idea by Margaret last night and she really liked it - I told her I'd thought of it as a short story but was now thinking that the whole arena of the story and the lead character might be interesting enough to last for a whole book, and that's the direction I'm going. And if it doesn't, it will be a novella and I'll fill it out with other short stories - but I'm thinking the milieu and story are interesting enough to warrant it being a novel. Also, Margaret's husband thought it would be a really good subject for a book and one that hasn't really been done before - and he knows from experience, as I do, exactly what the characters who inhabit the milieu are like. Am I spelling milieu correctly?
