Hello, fellow Dear Readers. I have missed you all! I do not yet have wifi or the computer set up, but wanted.to let all of you know that I (and all my stuff) arived safe & sound in St. Paul - move-in day on Saturday was a balmy 7 degrees. The neighborhood, house, and apartment are beautiful, and lovelier than I ever could have dreamed of.  I know that we will be very happy here. Looking forward to being back with you regularly very shortly. Thanks for all your support and good wishes, and see you all very soon!

Good morning, all! I have a new nervous tic in the sole of my right foot; it's a sharp pain that happens about every 10-15 minutes, and it was a real hurdle to getting to sleep last night. For the first time in a month I took some Tylenol with codeine, and I slept rather well.

This morning I have physical therapy, and, since everything's doubled up so they can close Thursday and Friday, I may be there longer than usual.  That's my day.

Sorry the show didn't go as well as you 'd hoped (although it sounds like you learned a lot from it).  There are times when you'll get an audience that just seems to suck up all energy and positive vibes and spontaneity-- no matter how hard the actors perform.  I've never understood that.

Thanks for the congratulations for my niece.  IT's funny that I was at the meet and yet the results can still be surprising.  Unless you are timing the races (which many parents are doing) you don't really know what place you'll get.  I saw at least 5 girls that I knew were faster than my niece in the 4 lengths individual medley (fly, back, breast, free). So i figured she could not have done better than 10-15th place. What a nice surprise to see she finished 6th. It's actually shocking. 5 of the top 6 were from her pool (and 2 of them are swimming with the 9-10s but just haven't turned 9 yet).

Watched several more episodes of the old tv show JULIA.

Some episodes were better than others, but the good ones are quite enjoyable. And no laugh track...I guess they added a laugh track for syndication, but I prefer this show without it and it is nice that they are airing it minus the laugh track.

I'm still not sure an intermission will work with such a short show, but I'm sure willing to give it a try.  I'll do one of our two rehearsals with it and see how it feels.  Having it solves one definite thing, which is the placement of one song in the non-intermission version - it would be better earlier and has never felt right to me where it is, but sans intermission something has to go between what would have been the end of the act and the beginning of the next act and what that something is is tricky.

Thanks, DR JRand!  Kroger wasn't bad at all, but I'm glad it's done.  It will probably only get worse as we get closer to Thursday.  The only shopping we have to do between now and then is picking up 2 fresh turkeys at the butcher's and delivering one of them to Mary Linda.  She's going to cook one with gluten-free stuffing and I'll do the other with regular.

This whole nonsense with my brothers and that damned property has really screwed up things; I have no idea on how to proceed.  What i would like to do is sue my brothers for hindering rather than promoting its sale and my dad's attorney for letting him sign it over to us on his deathbed, knowing that we'd end up having to pay inheritance taxes on it, no matter what. In my current financial mess, I am in a murderous frame of mind over the whole megillah.

Hello Everyone:


TOD;

ANNIE HALL
HANNAH AND HER SISTERS


Title: Re: FINDING THE SHOW
Post by: Ron Pulliam on November 25, 2013, 11:18:30 AM
TOD:

"Hannah and Her Sisters" -- This is Woody at "perfection" level on all counts -- story, script, performers/performances, combination of humor/wit/drama, and on an equal level his music selection. Woody, Mia Farrow, Barbara Hershey, Dianne Wiest, Michael Caine, Maureen O'Sullivan, Lloyd Nolan, and all the other superb supporting cast are absolutely riveting throughout the film. I have many "favorite" scenes in this film, but my "most favorite" is Woody spying Dianne Wiest (Holly) in a record shop and going in to remind her of the worst date of his life. It's an amazing, very funny, beautiful scene.

"Manhattan" -- This is the finest valentine ever filmed to/for a city (or anything/anyone else). The Gordon Willis b/w cinematography is masterful, the Gershwin score is sublime and the story is very New York and very Woody (and not a little bit disturbing given Allen's romance with a teenager, wonderfully played by Mariel Hemingway at her most beautiful).

"Love and Death" -- Hilarious homage to Ingmar Bergman with some fantastic sight gags, silliness, mayhem and an hysterical "Death" giving Woody the sort of "ending" he obsesses upon in nearly all his personal films.

"The Purple Rose of Cairo" - Wonderful "little movie", filmed to perfection. Great central performance by Mia Farrow and wonderful conceit of movie character coming off the screen because a "real person" has seen the film so many times he just had to say something. This movie was a "gift" when it was released and always seems to be a "gift" upon repeat viewings.

"Annie Hall" -- I'm not the biggest fan of this film, although it IS wonderful and funny and kooky and brilliantly done. Woody has had better stories, but it's the central character and Woody's interactions with her that make the film work wonderfully.

ANNIE HALL remains a favorite. at least in memory. I really should go back and re-watch these again. I do recall some of the lines from this film, like "Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach, teach gym."

Always loved the wacky early films, like TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN, SLEEPER AND BANANAS.

ANNIE HALL remains a favorite. at least in memory. I really should go back and re-watch these again. I do recall some of the lines from this film, like "Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach, teach gym."

When I was in college (to become a choir teacher...which, obviously, DIDN'T happen), I had a psychology instructor who quoted: 

Those who can, do. 
Those who can't, teach. 
Those who can't teach, teach teachers to teach.

Last night we watched THE WORDS, starring Bradley Cooper and Jeremy Irons.

I thought it was good and I think I figured out the mystery just before it ended.


Have any DR"S seen it?

I haven't seen it.

Interesting movie.

DR JRand, did you get a gander at that rather revealing negative of Allison Hayes that is up for bid on Ebay? Allison was certainly not shy. I would love to know more about what led her to do some of those photo shoots.

That's the second one that's been up.....last week there was one that was even more revealing.  I think there were a lot of magazines that published pictures like that.....probably in Europe moreso than the US....

We've been busy rearranging some furniture to accommodate the 17 (or 20) people we're expecting for Thanksgiving dinner.  I also prepared a nice dinner for us of meat loaf, baked potatoes, and green beans.

I'm not sure we even had that many when I was but a wee lad and we all went to grandmother's house.

I had an appointment in town and followed it with a long walk in the park.  I was looking down and almost walked into 4 deer that were on the path.  Three of them were still on the young side.  I was sooooo close to them and they were sooooo cute.  They were munching away on bushes and alternately looking up at me with their sweet faces.

Driving home up our road a hawk flew in front of my car and then along side it. :)

Yesterday while walking we probably saw the same hawk as I was close to where we watched it fly over our heads from tree to tree.

Thanks DR Ginny.  I think sales were down some, not sure.  I'm curious exactly what changes this will lead to. 

"The foundation said the grants were part of a pilot project to help organizations deal with changes in demographics, audience behavior and the effects of technology".

Ashland has no shortage of deer and they are very relaxed with people around, especially in the park.

They hang out in my yard too much.  They've destroyed 2 trees and I about had a cow when they started in on one of my apple trees....but they are nice to look at

My home town is about a three hour drive from Minneapolis/St. Paul.   We always went there to shop etc when I was growing up.  I'm about 5+ hours from there now.  I used to use my Northwest airlines miles and fly there free from Sioux City, but our airport board is headed by a guy with a condo in Chicago, so now we only have American Airlines and they only fly to Chicago.  A little tougher to get to MSP

2 birds, 10-12 pounds each.  Mary Linda is cooking one with gluten-free stuffing and we're doing one with regular.  The other guests are bringing most of the sides.

It did warm up to 52 this afternoon but the shady areas still had patches of ice.  I was walking on the sidewalk along the park and looking at a dog instead of the ground.

The ponds in the park also had pieces of ice on the top layer.

Could not get a new DVD player at Costco, because I have an old-fashioned tube TV and these newfangled machines aren't compatible without some connection. I have a 20-year-old set that is in fine condition, but I have a feeling, I'm going to have to get a whole new setup, TV, DVD player and sound system. I'm going to wait until Black Friday sales are announced and may have to buy things bit by bit.
