I stayed up JUST ESPECIALLY for the announcement promised to be made after the notes have posted.
Here I am...and there they are....
And the word of the day is: GALLIMAUFRY!
So...where's the "New CD [that] will be announced right after the notes are posted"??
Arrest Made in N.J. Walmart 'All Black People' Case
The Washington Township Police Department said on its Web site early Saturday that an arrest has been made in a "bias incident" at the retail store.

Saturday.
Thank you to all who provided vibes for my Aunt Betty yesterday.
As expected, she passed away about 6 a.m. this morning.

Condolences, DR JRand. I am happy she is finally at peace.
I'll be thinking of you today.
BK,
For those who might maintain that all you do is bitch and complain - have them read the notes re the pressing plant.

Also, coming out this week is THE AFRICAN QUEEN in a new restoration. It's also the final film in the AFI top 100 movies that is getting a release on DVD. (Of course, for some of us, it's the Blu-ray release that's more appealing, but BOY is Paramount asking for a lot for this. I'll have to wait for a reduction in price.)

Keith figured out how to make the original speakers he purchased work :)
Ah, yes, Britten's Beggar's Opera! DR Elmore, I was thinking about you right about the time you posted that, but because of a different show that we worked on together - the Rodgers and Hart revue. I was looking through the sheet music that my mother-in-law left in the piano bench for some Easter-y things to display and came across "Soon." That wasn't one of the songs we searched for and couldn't find, was it?

Isn't "Soon" by the Gershwins?

This one is "from the Paramount Picture Mississippi starring Bing Crosby and Joan Bennett.
BK, what's the email to send PayPal to for CUBA? For some reason there's no Kritzerland in my history there, though your White Sheik addy is in there--is that the one?
I thought Snow White was the daughter of the king and stepdaughter of the Evil Stepmother Queen.
Isn't this movie set in Louisiana? Are there princesses in Louisiana?
This afternoon I was cleaning up some things around the house and came across the file of the history of my house that was left for my by the former owners. There were letters and articles written about the house from the daughter of the original owner. There was a 10 year old phone number in the file....so I picked up the phone and dialed it.....she answered!!!
I told her I was the current owner of this house and she was delighted. We talked for over an hour all about the house the neighborhood etc. Her parents were looking through a magazine and saw a house that they liked in the French Normandy style, so the made a few alterations and had it built. They moved in during the spring of 1934. She was 5 years old. They had the house until her mother went to a nursing home in 1970.
It was a great conversation. I had most of the info in the file, but I did find out that my bomb shelter/storm shelter is neither. It's just a cement block building her father built to store his lawm mower and yard equipment!! Too funny.
DR Jennifer, your criticism of Tiana's time as a princess is really not very sensible. She doesn't become a princess until she marries the prince, and that doesn't happen until the end of the movie. Or is that too much of a spoiler since you haven't seen the movie yet?
I mean, Snow White and CInderella don't become princesses until the ends of their movies either.

Well i read the book so i know the story. I guess what i wrote did not come out as i meant it. i did not mean that i wish she was a princess for more of the movie. I meant that i wished she was a real person and not a frog for more of the movie.

Not a spoiler even though I haven't seen the movie yet. I didn't know the roles were reversed from the original story. I suppose it is good to be prepared ;)
Snow White & Cinderella were beautiful & visible throughout the story so I personally don't think you can compare them to a character that begins in the form of a frpg. ;D
Also re: the PRINCESS AND THE FROG.
I know when i read the book (i haven't watched the movie yet) I wished that she was not a frog for most of the story.
It is a perfect 70 degree sunny day today. We had a lovely hike, even if it was too short for me. When we pulled up in the driveway Keith noticed a Red Tailed Hawk gliding & circling above us. We watched for awhile. I then noticed a Bald Eagle flying our way. Briefly we had them both above us. Such a special treat, especially the hawk gliding as it did right above us.
Oy! I just ate a piece of cheese and didn't notice the mold on one side on the chunk I cut it from. I hope it was penicillin and not deadly.
Lunch at SAIGON was delicious. I had Lemongrass Chicken and Jim had Pho. The elderly asian couple who run the place were delightful and very friendly. My worry is that they use MSG. I have a terrible headache which even a 2 hour nap has not taken away.
Jim and I plan to indulge in SAIGON's weekday buffett soon, so if I get another headache I will know if it was or was not the food, I guess.

Usually when I have a bird circling above me, it turns out to be a vulture. Not that I blame him, I would probably make a pretty large buffet.
I did take this photo last month (been waiting for the new computer to share it). I use the orange toy as an arm rest during my exercises. As soon as I'm done Sherlock likes to pile more toys on top & reclaim it. ;D
I am not a seller on EBAY.
I won an auction while at work. I can't read my COMCAST email while at work. There was NO mention of Invoice or problems. Trying to be a good winner....about ten minutes later, I used PayPal to pay for the item & shipping.
When I get home a few hours later, I find the seller telling me that shipping was more than I paid, and that PayPal is telling him something is "not Available" to print out the label. I guess because the shipping amount is different. I sent him an additional PayPal payment for the difference but he tells me it is still "unavailable" and I don't know what the hell he's talking about since the payment has been made.
Can some seller tell me what the hell he's talking about? I have emailed PayPal about the problem....but who knows when I will hear from them.
I have to tell a children's story at church tomorrow. I better come up with something.
... both her and her husband were a bit saddened that they bothered to have the first black princess. Yet the character was barely in the movie.

Bentley is a very cute puppy! Whom does he own?
Cillaliz, that's such a wonderful thing. Given our penchant for old houses, we treasure information like this, and spend a lot of time searching for it.
