Chas - Thanks for that comment. The Liberace museum closed to the public a few years ago. They seem to say in articles still that they l hope to reopen somewhere on the Strip, but they haven't announced anything on that.
I find it hard to believe some hotel on th Strip wouldn't love the traffic the musuem would bring.
Did anybody watch the finale of SMASH last night?
A tree Grows in Brooklyn is one of my favorite Books and also the movie with Gregory Peck.
Good Morning Bk,
I just finished the first Chapter of your Book Murder at the School Musical.
I really enjoyed the part about the Book Fair. I can so relate to Adriana's love of the Classics.
Yes Elmore, I agree.
Yes and everytime the movie is shown on tv I try to watch it. I never tire of it and find new meaning and lessons.
Gregory Peck was perfect for the role of Atticus and the little girl was tremendous.
And the word of the day is: SENTIENT!
That means the movie features Michael Douglas, Billy Joel, and Matt Damon?
Will we have room for food in our luggage (Rose trys to give us food to take back to Manhattan)?
Those are the questions of our lives.
DR Ginny, I just drove through Mariemont on my visit there. Then I went out to Terrace Park, a few miles east, to see the house my parents lived in for about 15 years beginning in 1969. It was one of more modest houses there when they bought it for $24,000, but a lovely house in the most lovely of neighborhoods. It has changed hands a couple of times since they sold it, and the last owners completely changed it. The original foundation and fireplace are still there, but they made a whole outlandish McMansion out of it, and it's now for sale and listed at $569,000.
Boy, did they ever not know what they had. Terrace Park was always lovely, and they were so fortunate to have bought that house back then. If they had just hung on to it, because now it is Super Lovely, and only for those who are in the market for million dollar homes. But what a place. Just beautiful.
And I always loved visiting there, and going to Mariemont, too, if for nothing more than to see a movie or have a meal.
Good Morning All,
Had a great memorial weekend with my family. Celebrated my handsome son Matt's 27th birthday. He restrung my acoustic guitar for me. Now my playing should sound much better.
We had pizza and cake and hot fudge and ice cream and had many laughs.
What a horrible headline on AOL News.....Are New Yorkers Ready For Another Hurricane?
TOD:
I love all things Japanese! And of course movie wise I enjoy all things from Toho studios, but for the TOD I am going for American films with Japanese themes...so...
SAYONARA
JAPANESE WAR BRIDE
To MBarnum's list I would add:
THE BARBARIAN AND THE GEISHA,
THE TEAHOUSE OF THE AUGUST MOON, and
BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S. :o (Oy! Sorry! Shame on me!) :)
I have been scarce around these here parts, if anyone has noticed. Have been having a very, very productive 4 day weekend working on Bollywood related writing projects and am finally seeing some progress! Whew...but it makes the days go by so fast that before I know it I have neglected not only HHW but just about every other part of my life!It has been noticed, but glad it's been productive.
La de dah dee DAH DAH! as Madame Rose would say.
This is very unusual, but really really good.

I'm home. The drive home from the airport wasn't bad at all. Maybe most people on the road got an earlier start (or later).

THREE hours on the phone with these idiots.

The Damned Printer -- my favorite Moliere amusement.
I certainly enjoy SAYONARA very much....and also I like BRIDGE TO THE SUN with Miss Carroll Baker, and although it is based on a true story...it is not exactly a study in fact....
I picked up a fun looking dime store novel from the 1960s..."There were two kinds of love, innocent and wanton...but Teresa never thought to choose between them."
How could I resist a book with this kind of introduction! (not that I'll likely get it read anytime soon.)
We parked right across the street from the carillon, in front of THIS HOUSE (http://www.sibcy.com/m/Mobile.aspx?mls=1354914&b=1&p=0) that's for sale. We figured you could probably get it for half a mil. Richard says this is the perfect example of location, location, location.
Not a church, DR Jane. It's a free-standing bell tower in a city park.
DR Jane - I love the photos Keith is scanning and you're posting!

I believe BRIDGE TO THE SUN was aprt of NBC's SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES. I enjoyed the film, and Miss Baker, but I didn't think the film was exactly a factual look.

Thank you. Penny and I were 22 in that photo taken in front of our apartment. All our friends hung out at our place instead of their parent's houses where they still lived. :)
Keith isn't the only one scanning in old photos. Here is the darling daughter at her absolute cutest.
And here is the darling BK at HIS cutest.

22! You looked about 14!
I think something was dangling in my last post. I hate when that happens.
As I remember it, in the 70's we had minis, midis and maxis.... maybe it was NY thing?I remember my sisters using the same terms. That was in Kentucky. (Maybe it was a Lutheran thing, Vixmom. ;) )

Okay, here's one from a lifetime ago.
At Van Nuys Airport. I think this was the day I'd just flown my first solo.
(Not to be confused with the day I sang my first solo.)

Legal Question..........................
Now that the jury has had a mistrial on the sentencing phase of the Jodi Arias trial; does the new jury have to hear all of the evidence from the initial trial, in order to vote for Death or Life in Prison?
What lovely photos we are seeing today!
DR TCB Madame Rose is the mother of Gypsy Rose Lee....

vixmom and george - I've left instructions about posting an event to the calendar - give it a try. Also, I think I've enabled the posting of attachments, so give that a try, too.

Is that what I had to pay my wife after the divorce?

I just ordered the CD. I didn't want to wait until the morning and miss out because when I wake up, I plan to stay upstairs in my bedroom and watch TV up there...I have several shows to watch on that DVR. :)
