I slept late.
We are driving a car with 3 wheels off the cliff and the fourth wheel is barely still on the ground.
I expect sometime in the next two weeks we will go over the cliff.
CD: Kim Robertson. I'm sure once DougR mentions her, you'll all go ga-ga. ;)Now you're just being bitter :)

Tonight, the other fairy tale series begins: GRIMM at 9:00 on NBC. I'm looking forward to it.

Got an email from Peter Filichia about the demise of his column. For those who are disappointed that theatermania.com has dropped his column and want to voice their displease, he suggested the following:
(Write) to editorial@theatermania.com
Then, notice at the very top of the front page, there’s a tiny blue banner that says “Click here to check out the NEW Theatermania.com BETA.” Once you do, you’ll see an orange bar at the lower right hand corner of the screen that says “Feedback.” If you’d put your message there, too, I’d be grateful.
So, that's that.
I know that after Ken Mandelbaum's column disappeared from Broadway.com, it was not worth checking out that site, and I think theatermania.com will be much the worse without Filichia's. Regardless of what your opinions of his opinions are, he is sparking discussion. And that's good.
I wrote Mr. Filichia yesterday when I heard and offered him a column on the Kritzerland site. We're trying to work it out.

I'm up - got almost eight hours of sleep. If I'm to jog it will have to be in thirty minutes or so. Looks like a pretty day out.Eight hours of sleep. A concept I don't understand.
And the word of the day is: SUBDUCT!

And The Song Of The Day Is: DON'T LOOK AT ME
If all goes according to Hoyle (just waiting for confirmation, but details have been worked out), Mr. Filichia and his column will become a regular part of Kritzerland. I would have done it here at haineshisway.com but I can't do it until the site is completely redone because our technology is so far out of date and there's no one who cares to deal with anything new here, content-wise.
Methinks Betsy and I are going to refinance the new house with this new ING Direct Easy Orange product where (I'm not kidding) interest is only 2.75% for 5 years and you can prepay as much as you want. At the end of 5 years you either have a balloon or can refinance (with more closing costs, tied to what your bi-weekly mortgage payment is). With the amount we'll overpay and with that interest rate, we'll have this house mostly paid off in 5 years, at least that's my hope. But I hate having to collect all the paperwork to jump through the refinancing hoops.
I've been watching a streaming version of the 1937 film "Sh! The Octupus" which the Warner Bros Archive has just made available to view until midnight today. I've never heard of the film before but apparently it's been on TCM.

the Vixters front teeth seem to be abnormally large lately.... should I be concerned?
and EVERY single person she told the story to said .... "why didn't you just tip over the garbage pail?"

I am gobsmacked again department: just like when we bought this house, ING prequalified us and approved the loan without me needing to provide any of my self-employment income, which is much (as in MUCH) larger than my W2 salary income.I love that word, gobsmacked. But I hate getting gobsmacked. Sorry.

DR Vixter, sorry to hear about your bite. I actually was thinking while reading it that i couldn't believe you were going to stick your hand in there and not just dump it out.
I actually don't really like squirrels. But I was traumatized over the summer by maybe killing one.
I was driving. And unfortunately my sister and niece were driving behind me. The strangest thing happened. I've never seen anything like it. Two squirrels were playing and they literally jumped into the middle of the street.
There are lots of squirrels here. And they usually ran across the street. But these 2 squirrels were on the side. And in one jump they somehow were right in front of the car.
I wasn't really sure what to do. Do i try to stop (then my sister might go into me).
If there hadn't been anyone behind me i might have tried to stop. But i actually thought that if i just went straight that the squirrel would be in the middle and not get hurt. But unfortunately it seemed partially hurt.
I don't know what squirrel protocol is (do you call someone?).
Anyways the worst part was that my niece saw it. She was upset, as was i. She told me "just don't think about it". I actually could not stop thinking about it for many weeks. :(
Friday morning greetings! Gradually getting over my jet lag - I managed to sleep until my "normal" time today, which is encouraging. Went for the routine blood test that determines my Coumadin dosage and I'll spend the rest of the day organizing our trip notebook and digital photos.

That was fast! Congrats!
The "struggling actor" who's a recently released from jail family murderer, himself a horrible burn victim and now dying from brain cancer (hence his release from jail) has had some hysterically funny bits, as strange as that may sound. He's stalking series star Dylan McDermott and I LOL'd during last week's episode when he starts jogging next to McDermott with a script in his hand, begging McDermott to run lines with him. "Here, I'll read Oscar," he says, referring one assumes to The Odd Couple. It was funny. To me, anyway. :)

I'm sitting the furry grand kids this weekend. Currently DS Craig is at the airport waiting for the first of his two flights, final destination San Antonio.What's he coming here for?

Well, we're "approved" pending approval, if you know what I mean. I just emailed them all the tax stuff, W2s, pay stubs, insurance, blah, blah, blah, and we need the appraisal, but I'm expecting everything to go OK.

Here's a photo Richard thought you'd like. It's the current view from his desk:
Is anyone else watching AN AMERICAN HORROR STORY? I must say, I'm beginning to enjoy its wacky melange of horror and just kind of out there comedy. Plus Jessica Lange is a dead ringer for 1960s era Frances Farmer in this.
Great photo, Ginny.

It should be an exciting game tonight & I know Craig wants to watch it. The last game in the World Series (for those of you who don't know what game I'm referring to) begins at 5:00 and Craig's 5 1/2 flight from Salt Lake City doesn't arrive until 9:00.
Well, I hope he enjoys his stay. It's party time not just because of Halloween, but Day of the Dead is also approaching.I'm sitting the furry grand kids this weekend. Currently DS Craig is at the airport waiting for the first of his two flights, final destination San Antonio.What's he coming here for?
Someplace new to go to. He is meeting up with friends from the east coast. I understand Saturday night will be Halloween on the River Walk. If so he is prepared for it.

Where is Rudolf Nureyev buried? Obviously in Paris, but I mean is it a cemetary, a church, or a mausoleum?

I do enjoy that song. However, Sirius XM's "On Broadway" has this fascination for the song "To Keep My Love Alive" from THE CONNECTICUTT YANKEE. How many damn verses does that song have? It was probably amusing during the course of the show, but as a song on the radio, I have to turn it off!

It depends on who sings it. Elaine Stritch performed it on PBS and I made a CD with that song and she's a hoot...even just listening to her! It's just the kind of song that you can't do "straight".

That's why she's wonderful. I think the last movie I saw her in was "Grosse Pointe Blank" and she's mute in her two scenes and yet she's so memorable, so touching that it made the movie for me.Not related to anything, but I hear Barbara Harris lives in Arizona.That might get me to Arizona.
