Otherwise, it's sort of on the mild side. But we are suppose to plunge into the teens tonight and remain in the twenties for the coming week and unfortunately, we are not talking about our age here.

I've been in Phoenix in the middle of August. It was hell on earth. The street was so hot I could not stand in one place for any length of time because the heat from the sidewalk would transfer up through my sneakers and my feet got incredibly hot!

I think I passed my cholesterol test this year but I won't know until later this afternoon.

Had an original guac on Sunday night that was made with fresh pear, apple, dried cranberries (CRANBERRIES!) and pomegranate seeds with a touch of jalapeno to give it some heat. Very nice mixture of flavors and textures.

I remember my winter in Middletown back in the mid-'80s had days where it didn't get above -2. I had to walk to work because the streets weren't clear and nobody really wanted to do anything about it. Did all my work over the phone.

Never go near Mobile, Ala., at the same time of year. It's the same, only with humidity. You can see the waves of moisture and heat wobble and stagnate about you.

And they cancelled school here in NYC for the mere three inches of snow that fell overnight. -Most of which had already been plowed and shoveled by the time the morning rush hour began.

Title: Re: REEKING OF ORANGE CHICKEN
Post by: MBarnum on January 21, 2011, 10:01:13 AM: I had a weird dream last night also. I dreamt that I lived ina nice house up on a hill in a nice old neighborhood. Two killers, a man and a woman, busted in through an unlocked door, sort of held me hostage for a couple of days and contemplated stealing some old movie posters and stuff. They also were planning to off me, but they did not know that I knew this, nor did they know that I knew they had parked their clunker van in an alley several blocks away and that in that van were 4 dead bodies.

It was all very strange, but my buddy Ron and the police eventually came to the rescue.

I think this dream came about from my realizing last night that my walk home from the gym (which is about 5 or 6 blocks) is very dark and scary and that, although I now live in a secured apartment building (as opposed to the "easy to break into" cottage house I used to live in, there are still dangers around. That is my guess, anyway.
Title: Re: REEKING OF ORANGE CHICKEN
Post by: MBarnum on January 21, 2011, 10:03:42 AM: Also in that dream, I had great difficulty reaching police by dialing 911. First I kept dialing the wrong number, then the operator berated me, and then no 911 operators would answer or the call just wouldn't go through.

I think I have had this occur in dreams before, along with dreams where I am unable to dial a phone number correctly, over and over.

She's quite spry physically, able to move OK, but she can't really talk yet and even her writing is often confused. We sat and sang together, since music and lyrics are stored in a different part of the brain from language, and she was able to at least hum along. But she then picked up a piece of paper and wrote in a scrawl: NORSE MUSIC. I started laughing and asked her if she wanted me to bring Norse music, and she just started giggling hysterically, obviously that was not what she intended. The funny thing is, I just a couple of days ago got a new audio BD to review of the Norwegian choral group Ensemble 96 and I told her I could bring her a copy! Still not sure exactly what she was asking for. :)

I saw this on "The Simpsons" once. Bart, in a spoof of "Vertigo," dials 911. He gets a taped message and just starts hitting buttons. "You have selected regicide," the taped voice says back. "If you know the name of the monarch or royalty that has been killed, press 1 ..."

Had a kind of funny thing happen this morning. I went to visit one of my choir members, who had a devastating stroke in December. She's quite spry physically, able to move OK, but she can't really talk yet and even her writing is often confused. We sat and sang together, since music and lyrics are stored in a different part of the brain from language, and she was able to at least hum along. But she then picked up a piece of paper and wrote in a scrawl: NORSE MUSIC. I started laughing and asked her if she wanted me to bring Norse music, and she just started giggling hysterically, obviously that was not what she intended. The funny thing is, I just a couple of days ago got a new audio BD to review of the Norwegian choral group Ensemble 96 and I told her I could bring her a copy! Still not sure exactly what she was asking for. :)

My scattered brain interpreted that as "more" music.

Nice story and I'm sure your visit was very beneficial physically & emotionally.

Maybe--except that after giggling, she crossed out NORSE and wrote NOSCW and underlined it vigorously. ;)

Nothing on the viewing horizon.

On Sunday we will be going to Lehman College in the Bronx to see a production of The Wizard of Oz starring Antonia (AKA TPunk) as the Wicked Witch of the West!

DR Ben - please give TPunk a big "break a leg" hug from me!

Will do. We haven't seen her in ages. We're looking forward to seeing the show. It's a Childrens Theatre Production produced by

Riverdale Childrens Theatre (http://www.riverdaletheatre.org/Riverdale_Theatre/HOME_Riverdale_Childrens_Theatre_Bronx_NY.html)

located in the Bronx (or Riverdale as those residents who don't like to say they live in the Bronx call it ;))

Isn't Riverdale where Archie and Jughead and Betty and Veronica and Reggie live?

As for low temperatures...

It's supposed to get down to a low of 5 degrees on Sunday here in New York City - with a high of 17.

Layers. Lots and lot of layers.

During my first year of college in Ellensburg (Jed and Ann's hometown), the snow started falling on Veteran's Day weekend and the snow stayed on the ground (and increased) until sometime in March. One night we hiked down to the movie theater in town and it was -12 degrees. When we came out of the movie, we all noticed how warm it had gotten. Sure enough, it had warmed up to zero.

When Mia Farrow and Robert Redford made THE GREAT GATSBY, Theoni designed the costumes. A friend of mine worked on it as a beader and at one of the fittings with Farrow, she didn't like something about the costumes and asked Theoni to change it.

Media report - DVD: we just watched the first episode of a BBC series called NEW TRICKS. Richard loved it and I found it OK. Alun Armstrong, who played Threnardier in the 10th anniversary Les Mis, is in the cast.

we love this show. It airs on our local PBS weekly

Post by: FJL on January 21, 2011, 07:24:21 PM: This is from the Times blog. Was Theoni Aldredge 78 or 88? (Rep[orts seem to conflict.)

"January 21, 2011, 12:46 PM
Theoni V. Aldredge, Costume Designer for ‘Chorus Line,’ ‘Annie,’ Has Died
By PATRICIA COHEN
Theoni V. Aldredge, the designer of the fabulously feathered transvestites in the original stage version of “La Cage aux Folles” and Little Orphan Annie’s red dress on Broadway, died Friday morning in Connecticut, said her husband Tom Aldredge. She was 88.

Considered one of the greatest costume designers of her era, Ms. Aldredge created the clothes for more than 300 stage and film productions, including “Gypsy,” “A Chorus Line,” “Dreamgirls” and “42nd Street.” She won an Oscar in 1975 for “The Great Gatsby” with Robert Redford and Mia Farrow, and three Tony awards for “Barnum,” “Annie” and “La Cage.” In 1984 it was nearly impossible to take in the Broadway season without seeing one of Ms. Aldredge’s deliciously innovative costumes: five concurrently running shows (including “La Cage”) put 1,000 of her creations on stage at the same time.

A full obituary will follow.

An earlier version of this post gave the wrong age for Ms. Aldredge when she died. She was 88 not 78."

I just remembered I took the photo of the clouds over pilot rock through the car window while Keith was driving, plus Pilot Rock is very far away.

Post by: bk on January 21, 2011, 08:57:38 PM: Very worrisome Word issues today - first time ever. Started on the liner notes - I got a pop-up window that said I had too many windows open and to close them - of course, I had no windows open whatsoever. Then I tried to save and another pop-up window came up that asked if I wanted to save a rescued version - I said yes, but it never did it. I went to close the document and it wouldn't close - got another pop-up that said Word didn't have sufficient memory - say what? I finally highlighted everything and saved, then finally was able to close the doc. When I opened it again, the last section I'd been working on wasn't there. Luckily, I just cut and pasted it back and all was well and I had no further problem.

Then when I was writing just now for the book, the same thing happened and THAT scrared me like crazy. I went through the same things, highlighted the previous twenty pages just in case, then closed out of the document. When I reopened, everything was there. But I sent a copy of it to myself via e-mail, and I know the computer itself saves everything via Time Machine every forty minutes or so - still I really don't like that sort of stuff. I haven't been able to find out anything online about it, and I may call Apple tomorrow to see if they have any suggestions, although I'm sure they'll just tell me to call whoever makes Word for Mac.

BK, I believe you had this problem a long time ago, maybe when you were PC'd (so to speak). You can alleviate it sometimes by deleting NORMAL.DOT (yes, that's DOT after the .). That file will automatically reconstitute itself when you start Word the next time. I have to do it occasionally.

Post by: bk on January 21, 2011, 09:21:23 PM: Finally found something about the problem and the solution seems to be, as Cilla notes above, to restrart the computer. Sometimes if you're working a lot in Word and you don't restart, it saves up all sorts of things that eat up memory - when you restart apparently all those useless things go away and you start with fresh memory. It's just odd I've never had this problem on any Mac before.

It's more of a Microsoft Word problem. ;)

Encore Westerns has been showing a lot of old Universal studios westerns, which are my favorite westerns of all.
