Just at the tail end of last night's posts, MBarnum said...
Nice cookies DR Panni!
Trying to make up for the previous night's "collapsed rack" comment, eh? :D

Well, what a wonderful late-night group --Joey; my son, Jed; and Betty Crocker!
-
...........and now, my daughter, too!!!

Feeling any better tonight, dear father?

......and now, Uncle BK is back!

Feeling any better tonight, dear father?
Actually, at the moment I am, son. We had a great show tonight, a very responsive crowd, AND our very own DR George was in attendance. We have now actually met face to face!! Thank you. George, for driving up to see the show.
Unfortunately, as good as I feel at the moment, I am going to be in a lot of pain in the morning.
-
What is this all of a sudden, All My Children?
-
Although I can't really remember, I think Mr. Computer Man set my computer to do something at midnight on Fridays, because every Friday at midnight everything gets really slow and lethargic, like clockwork.
-
I actually haven't watched all that much TV this year. I've certainly hardly watched ANY since I moved. I'm sure something will come to mind later.
As for cake, my favorite is a cake my mother used to make called Pisinger Torta. (And before you start making pee jokes, all you silly non-Hungarians out there in the dark, it's pronounced: PISH-inger.)
I haven't thought of this yummy cake in years and I'm stunned I remember the name of it. Layers of thin wafer-like cake with the most delicious chocolate cream between the layers. I used to lick the bowl my mother made the cream in. Heaven! I don't know if I have the recipe - I've never made it.

Welcome seven GUESTS. We're talkin' about TV.

Did anyone read the notes??? Birthday wishes, peoples.

Welcome nine GUESTS and one HIDDEN. We're havin' a late-night frenzy is what we're havin'.
-
I could be mistaken (it happened once before, many many years back), but I do believe we've got us a late-night denizen posting frenzy going on!
-
I don't think I've ever discussed my favorite cake, have I? Parisienne Cake. Have I ever discussed that? I want cake. Parisienne Cake is yellow cake with layers of very light chocolate, with chocolate flakes on top.
-
Good evening all!
Hello dear father...I do hope you feel better soon. Many vibes being sent your way....
Had the second of four performances of the Messiah with the Seattle Symphony tonight. My mother and sister came to watch. My sister brought a book, my mother fell asleep. Can't blame her, though...my mother has conducted and/or played the Messiah so many times...she gets a bit bored by it now. But it was nice to see them there.
I am eating mashed potatoes, but now craving cookies, bagels and lox, and all manner of salads...
-
Let's freak everybody out - let's have three hundred posts by the time people check in in the morning. If our nine GUESTS and one HIDDEN would only join in, we could each make approximately fifty posts.
-
Dear reader Ann, just come to Los Angeles and all can be yours.
-
and cake...did I mention I was craving cake?
-
I'm closing in on 7600 postings.
-
bk - throw in some of that Parisienne Cake and I'm there :)
-
It's a late-night/early-morning birthday party complete with cake!!!
-
I am off to bed. I have an early morning rehearsal, plus I will have to hire a crane to get me out of bed!
-
I googled Pisinger Torta to see if there was a recipe somewhere - and I stumbled into an alternate universe... a Hungarian board somewhat like ours (I said "somewhat"). And there's someone posting named "Panna" - which is another nickname for Panni. And they're discussing food. Cue Rod Serling.
If you want to take a look
Look Here (http://www.randivonal.hu/forum/index.php?oldal=hozzaszolas&katazon=1&vfazon=23)

Good night, kids! Let's do this again, soon.

Goodnight, TCB. Feel better! ***Vibes your way***

We had a great show tonight, a very responsive crowd, AND our very own DR George was in attendance. We have now actually met face to face!! Thank you. George, for driving up to see the show.
Yes, I drove up to...wherever the heck TCB's Scrooge is playing. Port Orchard, that's it! I decided on a whim to go tonight because I said that I'd like to see the show and meet TCB in person! I called the box office of the theater and they said that Sunday was sold out! That would have been the best time for me to go. I was also told that Saturday was sold out! I said "how about tonight?" (Friday) and was told, "We have four tickets left." I said, "I'll take one!" And I did. I left work early (I have to go into work today and make up some more hours, anyway) and drove as fast as I could go. There were several stretches of road where I was cruising at 80 mph! :o What was I thinking?? Anway, I got there at about 7:00 (whew) and the performance started at 7:45. Plenty of time.
-
Ok, Panni, if there's bitchslapping, page dancing, and any Hungarian equivalents of "unseemly" and/or "ginchy" at this other site, then I'll be afraid...
-
The Hungarian site, BTW, is called "Habostorta.hu" which translates as "cake with whipped cream." The "subtitle" under the site name is "the biggest cake"... An alternate universe, I tell you!
-
That's it, George? You leave us hanging like that? You got there with plenty of time and...
-
Dear reader Ann, come to the Christmas bash and Parisienne Cake will be yours.
-
Christmas EVE bash, that is.
-
I believe you'd meet other dear readers, such as Jay, Panni, and the Pogues, and even PennyO.
-
That's it, George? You leave us hanging like that? You got there with plenty of time and...
Here you go:
I must say that the theater was small. I think they said it holds 78 people. It's a true community theater. People putting on a show because they love it. It was delightful. Tom (a.k.a. TCB) was quite the Scrooge. His transformation from miser to...no-longer-a-miser was very effective. Their Tiny Tim was the cutest Tiny Tim that I'd ever seen! I'm glad I went. Tom and I chatted for a bit afterwards. He introduced me to a couple of friends of his and then he had to mingle with the rest of the adoring crowd. Since I had a long drive back home, I left shortly afterwards.
-
We are havin' a regular partay here at haineshisway.com. But, who among us has their pointy party hat on as well as their colored tights and pantaloons?
-
Happy Birthday, Dan-TM and PennyO.
Vibes to DR Ann, to DR Jose's family, to DR TCB, and to everyone else who thinks they need them.

Check it out for yourself, son of TCB and brother of Ann and nephew of bk. Do I have it right? And does that mean that bk and TCB are brothers? That they're part of the bktcb clan? A clan which eschews vowels? (That's the first time I've ever said "which eschews" and I must add that it requires a "Gesundheit!")

-
I'm tired, but I'm enjoying this here partay so much that we'll just stay all night and sing 'em all.
-
And, simply in coincidence with today's title, der B and I feasted on goose breasts tonight!
They were simply grilled, but I served them with a fruit compote made of apples, oranges, and raspberries and simmered in a pomegranite/apple cider.
I also roasted a big batch of chestnuts, some of which i included in the rice I served on the side, and I boiled up some boiler onions, which I then cooked a little further with some butter and five-spice powder.
We do eat yummiliciously in this house!
-
I haven't got my partay clothes on. In all honesty, I don't own a presentable pair of pantaloons. I do have a rather elegant pointy hat with an ostrich feather. As for colored tights - Is black considered a color? I think I still have my black ballet tights somewhere. Perhaps even a white pair. I could be a vision in black, white and ostrich, no?
-
I'll stick around until we get to Page 3, then I need to put on my bed partay clothes and call it a day (or Fred).
-
Well, I must end my portion of the par-tay. I have to get up early in the morning, so I'd like to get some sleep before then...and not just a nap. So, goodnight all! I hope PennyO and Dan-the-Man each have a great day today! ;D And Great Job with Scrooge, TCB!!
-
I'll stick around until we get to Page 3, then I need to put on my bed partay clothes and call it a day (or Fred).
Okay, here's my one gratuitous post to get us closer to Page 3, so that Panni can go to bed. Goodnight! :D
-
DR George - great that you jumped in your car and went to see TCB! A true HHW kind of thing to do.
-
Why do I always feel the need to clean up before she of the Evil Eye gets here?
-
I tried to jump in my car but it's very difficult. Not enough room really and very hard to jump when you're seated.
-
While you're all thinking of clever posts, I'll take Abie out for his evening pee. I forgot to do it earlier. He's sound asleep and is not going to appreciate being woken up to pee. But he'll thank me later.
-
Abie's Evening Pee. Isn't that a play in three acts?
-
Ann left. She must be on her way to Los Angeles.
-
Why do I always feel the need to clean up before she of the Evil Eye gets here?
So she won't give you the Double Evil Eye? (I guess that would be the Evil EYES.)
-
Abie's Evening Pee. Isn't that a play in three acts?
No, you're getting it confused with Abie's Irish Poo.
-
Are we there yet?
-
Yes!
-
Well, I myself must WUSSIFY because she of the Evil Eye will be knock-knock-knocking upon my door very soon. Keep the home fries burning. Can you imagine how surprised our early morning denizens will be when they see three count them three pages of postings? And we shall laugh and laugh and then just when we think we cannot laugh any more, we shall laugh again.
-
Okay, I'm leaving the partay. It's been real... in a surreal sort of way.
-
Leave it to Panni to take us directly into the toilet.
Leave It To Panni - isn't that a musical comedy from the golden age. I believe it is, and I believe it was adapted from the three act play, Abie's Evening Pee.
-
THREE PAGES OF POSTS!!!
AM I SURPRISED....YOU BET I AM!!!
The Amazon rating of WRITER'S BLOCK at this early EST time is holding at 33,357!
Happy Birthdays to DR PENNY-O and the DR DtM!!!!
Now it is 5 a.m. and I must go to the grocery store before anyone else in the entire town of Mooresville gets there! yes, I must be first.
I will think about my television choices and get back to you on that...them...those... Uh...I will think about it.
-
LEAVE IT TO PANNI was indeed a short-running show on the DuMont network that featured Rose Marie as Panni and Morey Amsterdam as Guy Haines......no kinescopes exist....
-
Well - well - I pulled up to the Kroger Store in the JackMobile, as I always do at 5 a.m. on Saturday, and on the door was a handwritten sign:
"Store will be closed from 5 am to 6 am Saturday. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Oh my! Well what to do, go home and wait an hour? Nope, I went to the Marsh Supermarket, the only other grocery store that I have a SuperSaver Scanner card for.
I tell you, I am a Virgo, I am a creature of habit.....and going into a different and unfamiliar grocery store is like journeying to another planet. Everything is in the wrong place....and do not know which aisles to walk up and which aisles to walk down....I do NOT know how to shop. It was a nightmare, Dear Friends....a Nightmare. It was like....it was like Fellini Shopping.
I did not buy everything I needed, I just bought what I could find.
I am now going to rest....hopefully the rest of the day will not be such an ordeal.....or rather....such an ordeal should be the most gruesome one I face in my life, and I will consider myself LUCKY!!
-
I was about to say good morning, all! and I had to read three pages of posts! This only happens when I oversleep and it's around 7:10 am on the East Coast! What a partay for the West Coast, and I slept through all the noise.

Not to kick a corpse, but, Dear Friend BK, you were the producer of the album for Miss Mayes. Of course she was nice to you! She just didn't have to be nice to other folk like the orchestrator. And she still owes me for the CDs of UNSUNG MUSICALS I left for her at SHE LOVES ME while she was still being nice. Before the recording sessions.
TV of 2004? Right now, it's DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, and last spring it was WONDERFALLS and DEADWOOD on HBO. I think the biggest disappointment was JOEY, since I thought Matt LeBlanc was wonderful on FRIENDS, but I find the show a letdown in so many irritating ways.

Happy Birthday Penny and Dan. Does that make you fraternal twins?

DR BK, It's 12:17am. I'm in seventeen hours ahead of you, and other LA dear readers.
You're in seventeen hours behind me. So it's hard for us to meet here on the board, always chasing each other...
Why don't you make a musical comedy movie like the golden age's? I want to see a REAL American musical film, again. I think it's possible for you to make it.
Good night.
-
Last night, BK wrote: "This whole Writer's Block thing makes me want to put aside what I'm working on and write another mystery."
I really think you should, BK. You seem to have a knack for it, and everyone's enthusiasm should make you eager to try your hand at it again.
-
Happy Birthday to DRs PennyO and Dan. Hope you both have great birthdays today!

My favorite TV moments of 2004:
The final episode of FRIENDS, beautifully written and performed and filled with laughs and quite a few tears.
The season finale of '24' with a breathless plot finally brought to an exhilarating conclusion and followed by one of the most heartrending private moments ever shared by a leading male action character in a drama.
The astonishing series premiere of LOST, one of the most surprising, action-filled and yet thoroughly character-driven pilots I've ever watched. And the subsequent series has lived up to this fantastic first episode.
-
A few more:
The AMERICAN IDOL episode where Fantasia Barrino first sang "Summertime," by far the best solo of this year's competition.
ANGELS IN AMERICA (actually I think this premiered in December 2003, but what the heck! It was great enough to deserve inclusion for this year, too).
The series finale of SEX AND THE CITY with each of the characters have satisfying and believable conclusions to their stories.
and from a purely lascivious point of view:
the episode arc on QUEER AS FOLK which featured Matt Battaglia as a bisexual pro football player having a clandestine affair with one of the show's main characters. The sexiest scenes of 2004 in my eyes.
-
Another party to attend tonight, so I have to get my DVD watching done this afternoon. However, that's up to question, too, since a friend has asked me to accompany him as he buys components for his new home theater.
-
Oh, you dear dears! I'm about to head off to the airport for my day in LA - and find three pages of lovely birthday wishes!! I had no idea that Dan the Man was my Twin! Happy Day to you, DtheM!
I'll be back at the cabin tomorrow - then hit the road in my car for LA and BK's annual Christmas Eve bash. I've been living on the road for 4 and a half years... maybe at some point I'll perch somewhere semi-permanent... I love this life, but I do get weary sometimes.
Okay - Birthday Wish - somebody find me a sublet in NYC for at least Feb-March, while my JEWISH THIGHS are off-Broadway!!! Otherwise, i do have everything I ever wanted. (as my friend Felice used to say, "Penny's so lucky -- she doesn't WANT anything..." Well, I DID-DO want: freedom and time. Those have been-are the greatest gifts of my life, and I have them)
And to you, DR's, my Family of Choice, my birthday wishes for you are joy, wisdom, astonishment, clarity, love, serenity, self-awareness, choice, courage, optimism, freedom, and TIME. Bless you all, with my whole heart. Happy Birthday to me. To you. Every day.

Happy Birthday, PennyO!!!

Good Morning!
Well... I slept in. Actually, I did find myself awake at 5:30AM?!??! -Must have been all the late-night denizen-ing going on here. But I eventually made it back to bed... The next thing I knew it was 10:30, so...
As for TV moments.. Hmm... I didn't get to watch much TV either... But...
"Sex and the City" - The final episode. -Actually, episodeS.
...And there were some surprising room reveals on "Trading Spaces" and "While You Were Out"... ;)
Hmm....
-
DR Panni - Even the best of ovens have hot-spots, so... The next time you bake a batch of cookies, just rotate the sheet(s) back to front and/or top to bottom halfway through the cooking time. Yes, it takes a little extra effort, but it can be worth it. However....
Your cookies look wonderful!
*And I'm really hoping I can get some baking done early next week... Of course, now they're forecasting our first possible snowfall, so...
-
Good morning! I can’t believe I am up so soon. It seems like I barely went to bed (barely being how I normally go to bed). I went to bed with high hopes of reviewing my scenes for this morning’s rehearsal, but fell asleep immediately. I am indeed very sore today and very tired, but I thank those of you who sent Good Vibes.
Thank you again, DR George, for journeying through the hinterlands to see SCROOGE. It was such a pleasure to finally meet you. I apologize that I didn’t have more time to chat. The theater is very small and very cute, but I am very impressed with the quality of the production in such a small space. And what is it about everyone thinking that damn Tiny Tim is so adorable? He should get his own damn musical and leave me in peace! (KIDDING)
-
LEAVE IT TO PANNI was indeed a short-running show on the DuMont network that featured Rose Marie as Panni and Morey Amsterdam as Guy Haines......no kinescopes exist....
Wrong, DR Jr - I believe it was Mary Tyler Moore who played Panni. Or perhaps Joi Lansing.
-
elmore - of course I know Miss Mayes can be a pill, but at least she knew better than to be a pill with me. Just a couple of other performers were pills to me and they learned that being a pill is not the way to win with me.

I did not buy everything I needed, I just bought what I could find.
Dontcha just hate when that happens?!?!?!?
What I don't like is when stores in the same chain have different layouts. Yes, I know, sometimes building codes come into play, but, come on!!! It's called planning!?!?!?!?
Targets have this "problem". Some of the location are just flipped around. Even my beloved Ukrop's in Richmond have interesting layouts for some of the "other" locations. ;)

Lovely photo, DR Hisaka.
Thanks for the cookie advice, Jose. I'll be making the second half of the batch today (the dough is in the fridge) - so that's what I'll do.

Yes, I was correct, DR Jr, about who played Panni in Leave it to Panni. For some great shots of Panni as portrayed in the show, go to the

What a lovely day to have a Birthday! It's so nice, I think there should be TWO birthdays! Why what is this? Did I get my wish? Yes, in fact! There ARE two birthdays!
Have a WONDERFUL day, DR's Penny and Dan-the-Man!
I must be getting used to the cold. It's only 63 degrees F. Notice I remembered the F this time. And I think it is warm and lovely.
Read the movie! See the book! Abie's Evening Pee! I think they are going to make a musical out of it well! :D
Well, I'm off to do normal Saturday chores. There must be dog food in the house. And dog goodies. Must not forget the dog goodies. The world as we know it will end if there is not any dog goodies in the house.
I do what I can to protect mankind from those type of disasters.
Talk with ya'll later!

Ah yes, I believe DRMBARNUM owns a copy of that photo of you, dRPANNI.
I have enjoyed THE AMAZING RACE, a new show called KEVIN HILL, and RENO 911!
But my favorite TV show this year, so far, has been LUCILLE BALL on PBS' AMERICAN MASTERS series. A nice look at her tv work with some film I had never seen.....
Images of Michael Jackson and Scott Peterson and their various legal problems. And sports wise some ice skating moments with John Weir.

I think Joi Lansing was nominated for an emmy for her role as Panni, wasn't she? And not a collapsed rack in sight!

Which reminds me that I must call Joi Lansing's sister today. Although I did notice that in Joi's obituary there is no mention of a sister?? Just her surviving parents and her brother...maybe it is a sister-in-law?

Or a hidden sister.....Whatever Happened to Baby Joi?

elmore - of course I know Miss Mayes can be a pill, but at least she knew better than to be a pill with me. Just a couple of other performers were pills to me and they learned that being a pill is not the way to win with me.
Dear Friend BK, I've never said Miss Mayes was dumb! I only know of one person, a conductor, who's dumb enough to fight with the person holding the checkbook. I just know I gave her better charts than her treatment deserved. Even if they were late!
DRMichael Shayne, I'm not yet dismissed by the surgeon, but I am in so much better shape than I was in August that it's amazing. Thanks for asking. How are you these days?

As for my mission impossible...mission accomplished: I bought a new car! Yes, a brand spanking new 2005 Hyundai Elantra Hatchback...blue to match my eyes, LOL!
I am happy to report that I dealt with the most wonderful and helpful salesmen ever...it was a nice, although LONG, car shopping experience. My neice Katie's husband Brian assisted me and I think I got a good deal.
I would snap a photo of the new automobile but for some reason my camera won't work. I tried new batteries but for the life of me I cannont get the shutter to open??!! I guess I will be making a trip back to Best Buy today!

Favorite TV shows of the year: DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES for sure, along with the old standbys THE AMAZING RACE, SURVIVOR, and BIG BROTHER...that is about it for my 2004 TV watching I guess. I did watch an episode of COLD CASE and enjoyed it, but I keep forgetting to tune in regularly.

TV: Not much this year. Still "Six Feet Under" and thanks to DR Panni, "M.I.5" ("Spooks" in the UK and OZ). Tonight is the first of "Carnivale" which I shall try.

Happy birthday, Dear Readers Dan the Man and Penny!
I am hungry.
The end.

Ooh, page five!
***Dance of the Seven Underpants***
I'm still hungry.

I tell you, I am a Virgo, I am a creature of habit.....and going into a different and unfamiliar grocery store is like journeying to another planet. Everything is in the wrong place....and do not know which aisles to walk up and which aisles to walk down....I do NOT know how to shop. It was a nightmare, Dear Friends....a Nightmare. It was like....it was like Fellini Shopping.
I did not buy everything I needed, I just bought what I could find.
There are three grocery stores that der B and I can go to, along with a few other places that sell food items. We have one grocery store that is a favorite (the closest to where we live), but the other two also get our patronage. Why? Because occasionally the favorite store will be out of an item I want. Or sometimes one of the other stores will be closer to where we are, if we are out doing other shopping.
I like having more than one store handy, and learning where they all keep things. Sometimes, while I explore the less familiar stores, I'll find something else that will give me ideas on what to cook, if not that night than for some other time.
Having more than one grocery store handy also means we can find the right roses to give to our favorite performers!
As for those "other" stores I mentioned, there is a produce stand where der B likes to get his scrapple (they make their own in their kitchen in back). There's a cheese and spices store that we both like. And life would not be as good without our favorite fishmonger.
I say, get out there and live! Go to these other stores! You never know what you'll find! Life is a banquet, and most poor beggars are munching on corn flakes with soy milk!

Why don't you make a musical comedy movie like the golden age's? I want to see a REAL American musical film, again. I think it's possible for you to make it.
Dear Hisaka: As much as I admire our BK, who can do almost anything he likes, even he would have trouble making a musical like they used to make. It's not his fault, it's because the movie studios don't exist like they did in the Golden Era.
Back then, a producer could decide to make a film, and he would have all sorts of specialists who could do all the work for him. The costume designers, the set designers, the cameramen and choreographers, everyone right down the the piccolo player in the orchestra were already under contract to the studio, ready to ply their specialty and help make a perfect film.
That system for making films doesn't exist any more. The studios don't have anyone under contract the way they used to. All those specialists have to be called up one by one, and when they do get together they don't work as a team the way they used to.
And that is why we don't have musicals the way we used to.

There is a funny smoky smell outside. Methinks our neighbors are smoking those funny cigarettes.
In other news, I am eating a yummy breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes with powdered sugar and a Cherry Coke.
-
Wrong, DR Jr - I believe it was Mary Tyler Moore who played Panni. Or perhaps Joi Lansing.
Mary Tyler Moore was in the first pilot. They only showed her legs.
-
Oh that's right drSWW....MTM didn't have the rack for the subsequent series it turns out.
Well.....different stores....well....I don't know....I just don't know.
-
I think Joi Lansing was nominated for an emmy for her role as Panni, wasn't she? And not a collapsed rack in sight!

Happy Birthday DR PennyO!!

OMG, there are too many pages of posts for me to read!
DR Jrand, I have no idea how you are able to go shopping at 5am. I left today at 7:30am (and there were hundreds of people in line). And I think that is slightly crazy! They were giving $10 off coupons and wrapping paper.
-
BK, I think the reason Writer's Block is so popular has more to do with it being theatre related vs it being a mystery. I could be wrong, but that is what I think.
-
Congratulations on your NEW CAR MB! I have to do the same sometme this year!

Some of my favorite 2004 TV shows were "Amish In the City", "Alias", "Nanny 911" and "Trading Spouses", plus all the Food Network people except Rachel Ray, I find her 30 Minute meals boring, BUT I like her $40 a day. Speaking of Food Network, Paula Dean made this Krispy Kreme Donut Bread Pudding the other day, it looked so good, that I'm making it for a Christmas gift!!

Well today, in my mail, was a copy of a revue entitled WHAT IF?
I watched it, enjoyed it.....have some first impresssions, but want to watch it again before if give my review of this revue!
Super talented cast - super production that enhances the material - top rate staging and choreography - Perfect costuming with the exception of one unfortunate dress!
Songs and "what-ifs" perfectly done. Outstanding piano playing by DRJOSE.
All in all - a great entertainment! When ALL the performances are outstanding no one stands out, but there were outstanding songs. More after I see it again tomorrow.
Bravo and congrats to Mr BK for a terrific show. All the hard work pays off - but it doesn't show. Seemingly effortless ... and wonderfully complex.
-
LOL DRJENNIFER it's the thoughts of those crowds that motivates me to leave the house at 5 am. LOL

Getting back to Hisaka's question about sushi...
We have three restaurants that serve sushi here in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. That's not bad for a town with less than 2000 population. (Of course, the rural areas outside of town also come in for the restaurants during the winter, and RB is a resort town during the summer.) I would personally recommend two of the three restaurants.
My partner, der Brucer, decided to give sushi a try less than a year ago. He's discovered that he loves eel and tuna, among other kinds of fish. He's still unsure about eating urchen, however.
That's the good news. The bad news is that very little Japanese food other than sushi. One of the three restaurants is noted for it's teppan grills, which is more about the chef's performance with his knives than great food. I personally love sukiyaki, but nobody prepares it here. We don't even have a place where good noodles can be found!
Part of why Japanese food is taking so long to become popular here in America is because of the insistance on great ingredients, and knowledgable chefs to prepare the food. Sushi became popular because the different kinds of fish used could be flown from coast to coast in the 1970s. Before then, finding the top quality fish was very difficult. Good sushi chefs from Japan took advantage of the good fish available, and moved to America to introduce us to what delicacies they could serve. However, other kinds of Japanese foods haven't become as popular yet, because we don't have the chefs who can properly prepare them.
-
On the Food Network, Alton Brown ROCKS!
Rachel is OK, and Tyler Florence is eye-candy to serve lots of appetites. Emeril is loud and obnoxious.
On the other nets, I regularly watch Lost, and that's about it. Der B adds Kevin Hill and some of the police proceedural shows. I just wish I could break him of his habit of watching Bill O'Reilly. That guy is Emeril without food.

Tom,
Our friends are not THAT old that they can't SEE! :o ;D

Lesson learned: Don't go to a large, major electronics store (like Best Buy) to exchange a camera on the last Saturday before Christmas! LOL!
Holy cow, it was a little busy in there! But they looked at my digital camera, decided it was not working properly (or at all) and gave me a new one. Whew!
Oddly, enough, the traffic wasn't all that bad...maybe because ALL of the people are in the stores!!

Freddy is not so sure about my new car. He is used to the sound of my Tercel and comes running when I pull into the driveway. He couldn't understand why I was arriving in the big blue thing instead of the big white thing.
-
Well today, in my mail, was a copy of a revue entitled WHAT IF?
OK! OK!
Go ahead! Show off!
Ask us if we care! :D
-
And speaking of the big white thing...I must hie myself outside (it is sunny and cool) and clean it out so that someone might feel the desire to buy it from me!!
-
LOL DRJENNIFER it's the thoughts of those crowds that motivates me to leave the house at 5 am. LOL
You mean..... EVERYBODY works during the week and ALL go shopping first thing on Saturday morning??
Strange!
I guess people attrack people!
Now, even here in Paris (France, Old Europe! ;D) I could NOT go shopping at 5 am! Nothing's open at 5 am... except the Hotel where i work...(and some) ... and I only sell rooms!
And I'm NOT sorry for it! (that nothing's open!)
-

It has to be the sound and the shape of the car because, they told me ;), cats are colour-blind! Meow!
-
Well, I can never remember specific moments of shows, but in general, some of my favorite shows this season have been:
The Apprentice
Desperate Housewives
Lost
Star Trek: Enterprise
-
When it comes to new TV in 2004, I have to jump on the Desperate Housewives bandwagon, too, but I'll also add Boston Legal.
-
well counting derBrucer and me....that's two of us watching Kevin Hill.....
LOL -- you didn't TRADE your old car MB?
-
Off to a party.
-
When it comes to new TV in 2004, I have to jump on the Desperate Housewives bandwagon, too, but I'll also add Boston Legal.
Jed, do you want to jump on the bandwagon, or you do want to jump on the Housewives? Be careful, I think it was that damn bandwagon that I fell over.
-
As for television, I don't ever stop doing theater long enough to watch much television. I have not seen LOST or HOUSEWIVES or KEVIN HILL. Come to think of it, I didn't even see the FRIENDS final episode.
-
No JRand54, I didn't trade the old car in (1994 Toyota Terel with only 75K miles) as they don't give you much of a deal on that...and I have a couple of people already interested in driving it.
One thing about my new car I will love...it has air conditioning!! Woohoo! I have NEVER had a car that had air conditioning, before! I am now living in the lap of luxury! LOL!
-
My next door neighbors, Mike and Clara, are having there 15th yard sale of the year! I swear they must have one every other weekend, rain or shine!
I have yet to go over and see what they have for sale...and there is someone crawling on the roof of there house for some reason!
-
Congratulations, Mr. Barnum on the new car! I think you will love your Elantra.
-
What jrand did not point out is the most fun thing about the What If DVD - it's in 1:78 and enhanced for widescreen TVs.
-
I'm back. I'm going to sit in the yard for a few minutes - it must be in the eighties here, and it's absolutely beautiful outside. Perhaps I'll take a photo or two whilst out there.
-
No JRand54, I didn't trade the old car in (1994 Toyota Terel with only 75K miles)...
What? You have a 10 year old car with only 75,000 miles?? My six-and-a-half year old car just rolled over 87,000 miles!
-
My next door neighbors, Mike and Clara, are having there 15th yard sale of the year! I swear they must have one every other weekend, rain or shine!
Here in Olympia, you're only allowed to (legally) have two yard sales a year. And you have to get a permit and have it on display, so if you try to get that third one, they'll know!
-

I don't have a widescreen TV, but my sister's boyfriend does! I've never watched anything on it. I will have to ask Larry to let me watch it!

Fandango FINALLY posted the theatres that will show the limited release of "The Phantom of the Opera" starting on Wednesday. The nearest theatre (that's basically new with a good sound system) that's showing the film is in Daly City, about 20 minutes North of San Mateo. I'm so excited about this film, I think it will be the highlight of my year.
-
Yes, I'd like bk to know that my copy of WHAT IF? also arrived today, and I'm livid that it came too late for me to watch it this afternoon. I'm tempted not to go to this drop-in at all tonight, but I kind of committed myself to going last night, so I will. But I will watch WHAT IF? when I get home and post thoughts tonight or tomorrow morning.
And a big, big thank you in advance to bk for the early, much treasured Christmas present.
-
Enhanced for widescreen TVs!!!!! bk, you never cease to amaze me.

Yes, I'd like bk to know that my copy of WHAT IF? also arrived today, and I'm livid....
Livid?
Well, you should see US!
Us without it! -- the copy of it, that is! -- ;D
Anyway! We'll get the book when it's out! ;)
-
Today I have made a big decision, about which more in tomorrow's notes.
I'm listening to the first of a whole slew of new CDs I picked up this morning - the currently playing CD is Howl's Moving Castle, which just came out in Japan and which I got an import of at a friend's store. It's the latest Miyazaki film, and as always the score is by Joe Hisaishi, who I think is the best composer working in film today. It's a wonderfully melodic score with none of the usual sops to temp tracks or other people's scores.
-
Well, Barnes and Noble was jumping today! This morning, Jerry Zaks came up and said hello to me. I hadn't seen him since I worked on a benefit for the Brearley School with him. I told him he should be happy with the success of LA CAGE AUX FOLLES. He's a very sweet guy.
Then David Eigenberg, who played Steve in SEX AND THE CITY, was in, and he made the manager Patty's day. Also, very nice guy. He was great as the dumb jock in TAKE ME OUT.
Then my favorite talking head Robert Kimball and his beautiful daughter Miranda, the spit and image of her lovely mom Abby, stopped in to say hi. While I was out Kevin Bacon was in, and around 2:00 or so Steven Spielberg showed up! The only person missing who comes in a lot was Jerry Seinfeld.
-
David Eigenberg was in "Take Me Out"?? I'm soooo sorry I missed him, I always found him, well.... uh.... cute :) And to have seen him in "Take Me Out" would have just made my .... uh.... well.... hmmm.... oh... nevermind :)

What's air conditioning? I've never had a car (or a house for that matter) that had that. :)
MBarnum, Congrats on the new car! I'm still looking and oddly enough, I found a Chevy Blazer that I kinda like that is blue as well.
I bought some more chestnuts today. Panni, how did you tell me to make them without boiling them first? I think you said to just put the X on them and bake them. I may boil some of them and try the others your way.
I also want to save a couple out for that receipe SWW told us about the other night. The gravy. Would you please e-mail/PM it to me?
The stores are a madhouse. I only went to Walmart and the grocery store--didn't even go anywhere NEAR Brandon and it took me almost all afternoon to get the shopping done. Still the dogs have their food and their goodies. The world is safe once again.
I just put Christmas Vacation in the DVD player. It's one of Mom's favorites. I have to admit its one of mine as well.
-
You missed Kevin Bacon??? elmore3003, what have I told you about leaving the store? Oh, I haven't? Well, don't!

All this chatter about Abie's pee reminds me of William Kotzwinkle's children's book: WALTER, THE FARTING DOG.

We went to the office party last night of the law firm where Betsy's job rents a room. $46/plate dinner for this froo-froo s*** that no one could stand (but the wine sure was good, LOL). Anyway, they handed out gag gifts to all of the staff (Betsy got this cool wind-up Rube Goldberg looking thing that sparks out its tail and climbs anything in its way). One of the clerks is evidently from Boise, and they gave him a bright green t-shirt with an image of his homestate emblazoned on it, on which in big bright letters was written:
IDAHO?
NO!
UDAHO!

Speaking of which, that dear elmore recommended the movie which I just finished watching! Claude Chabrol's LA CEREMONIE. Thanks for that heads up, elmore! Truly beguiling, surprising and compelling. Now, I believe I shall hie myself to Barnes & Noble to see if I can pick up the book that it was based on. . .

Oh, td, I spoke of La Ceremonie right here in BK's Notes months ago - a marvelously marvelous film.

Such a day here in LA. Here is where I just was - in my yard sitting at the table, working. This is the view from there.

DRTCB, Mr Bacon lives within four blocks from me, as do Cynthia Nixon and Mandy Patinkin. I see Kevin occasionally on Amsterdam Avenue, and Seinfeld once in a while on 83rd Street, where his garage is located.
-

Well, BK, as often as I take your film advice (which is quite often), it might not have registered at that time. You see, over dinner at Joe Allen's on Thanksgiving weekend, DR elmore and I were discussing the simply fabulous LATTER DAYS together, particularly Jaqueline Bisset's performance (and Mary Kay Place's, too) when Larry brought up how wonderful J.B. is in LA CEREMONIE. When I returned from NYC, I immediately added it to my Netflix queue, and it finally became available this week.
So, has anyone read Ruth Rendell's JUDGEMENT IN STONE?
-

DRtd, I don't know if JUDGMENT IN STONE is available any more in this country. I saw some imported copies at Partners & Crime the night of BK's reading, and I bought my copy at Foyle's in London, 1997, when I was recording THE MOST HAPPY FELLA with Jo and Emily Loesser.

Wonderful novel! Similar but extended ending. I can't remember now if the novel is set in England or France. I saw the film when it first was available in VHS, and at that point the book was O.P. in the States. Foyle's had a ton of Ruth Rendall novels. I like her quite a lot.
-
I love Howl's Moving Castle and can now not wait to see the film. Unfortunately, we're probably six months to a year away from any import DVDs.
-
I can't remember the name of the other Chabrol I saw back to back with La Ceremonie, but it, too, was excellent - maybe it was Masques.
-
I love Howl's Moving Castle.

you guys are making my shopping list longer. . . . ;D

I love Howl's Moving Castle.
And I love your home, BK. Great photos, and it looks beautiful. Would that I were at your Dec 24 par-tay and not peddling books at B&N!
You know, in all the time I came out to LA to work with you, I never saw where you lived or your fabulous collection. You never saw my place because it's always a mess, though I did clean up for DRs PennyO, Jane, and Ben and Baxter. After the bookcases fell down, I had to throw out a ton of unnecessary crap, so all the visiting DRs have seen my necessary crap.
-
And do you ever say hello to Mandy?
Yes.

The owner of the Drama Book Shop when I worked there suffered from terminal flatulence. He'd walk through the shop dropping loud bombs right and left to the amazement and dismay of staff and customers. When I read WRITER'S BLOCK, I thought of him immediately.

I'm so glad only my bookcases collapsed. There are no collapsed racks in this place. I thought that happened only during implant operations. My cousin had a collapsed rack, I do believe.

WARNING POLITICALLY INCORRECT, ETHNICALLY INSENSITIVE, FEEBLE ATTEMPT AT HUMOR AHEAD:
CHRISTMAS
The teacher, Ms. Pelzner, was very curious about how each of her students celebrated Christmas. She called on young Patrick Murphy.
"Tell me Patrick, what do you do at Christmas time?" she asked.
Patrick addressed the class, "Well Ms. Pelzner, me and my twelve brothers and sisters go to the Midnight Mass and we sing hymns, and then we come home very late and we put mince pies by the back door and hang up our stockings. Then all excited, we go to bed and wait for Father Christmas to come with all our toys."
"Very nice Patrick," she said. "Now Jimmy Brown, what do you do at Christmas?"
"Well, me and my sister also go to Church with Mom and Dad and we sing carols and we get home ever so late. We put cookies and milk by the chimney and we hang up our stockings. We hardly sleep, waiting for Santa Claus to bring our presents."
Realizing there was a Jewish boy in the class and not wanting to leave him out of the discussion, she asked,
"Now, Isaac Cohen, what do you do at Christmas?"
Isaac said, "Well, it's the same thing every year. Dad comes home from the office. We all pile into the Rolls Royce, then we drive to his toy factory. When we get inside, we look at all the empty shelves and begin to sing, 'What a friend we have in Jesus.' Then we all go to the Bahamas."

More Joi Lansing in panties, please!
elmore, Sad to say, they have revamped Foyles since I was in it last year. While there are still 3 or 4 floors of books (as opposed to the original 5 or 6), the stock is not quite as electic as before and they have gotten rid of a lot of the older stock that used to sit on the shelves. I think it must be trying to compete with Borders (as is Waterstones) and other American chains. While it's still a good bookstore is not nearly as wonderful, weird, musty, and dusty and full of surprises as it used to be. And it seems to carry most of the stuff the other bookstores carry. Also Charing Cross Road has lost close to half its bookstores to rising rent.

Congrats on the new wheels, Dear Reader MBarnum.
As my mother might say, drive it in good health!

DRJane sent me a wonderful package yesterday: two books, some red hots, and some yummilicious chocolate fudge with pecans (?) and raisins. The fudge carried a warning about never weighing more than a refrigerator. At the rate I'm going, I'll weigh as much as two refrigerators by the time I finish it all. If I were staying in DRPanni's lovely guest room and attending BK's fab Dec. 24 bash, DRPanni and I could decorate her cookies with my red hots. I would guarantee no collapsible racks.

More Joi Lansing in panties, please!

Oh my!
The hours I spent there.... when I was ..... young! ('60s/'70s!)
Found the very first book written about Julie Andrews there, (by John Cottrell, 1967) and some nice stuff about Animation art and technique too, as well as "early" books about the Hollywood and Broadway musicals!
Those were the days!.... here comes that song again! (td!!)
Did not they use to have two Foyles locations not far from each other?
-
Yes Joi in panties brings joi to the world.

I loved spending hours on the top floor of Foyle's among their opera scores; they had a fantastic music selection. I almost spent around 100 pounds on a Heugel et Cie. orchestra score for Saint-Saens SAMSON AND DALILA, chickened out, and about a year later, Dover Books reprinted it for about $20.00. Such luck!
I also had a couple of nice emails from Brent Barrett in the past two days. He leaves tomorrow for Germany, then Wales, then Germany, I think.
Now for the bad news. I think I have a stalker. Seriously. I'm feeling spooked.

May I state for the record (Dear Reader Tomovoz, you may ignore the following for the next six months) that I really do not like (I shall abstain from using the "H" word, Dear Reader S. Woody White) how short the days are this time of year? It's dark when I arise and it gets dark long before it "should" in the evening. Am I the only one counting the days until Tuesday, after which the amount of daylight we see, at least in the Northern Hemisphere, begins to increase?

I am hearing Handel's The Messiah this evening, Dear Readers, as performed by the Pasadena Symphony and the Los Angeles Master Chorale. The big news is that the performance is at the Ambassador Auditorium, in my home town of Pasadena, California. This is a hall that, it is said, has absolutely marvelous accoustics. It served as a very popular concert venue for all the top names in classical music and pop music from about 1984 to 1994, at which time it was closed to the public when it was acquired by the Worldwide Church of God. The hall changed hands recently (a different church now owns it) and this Messiah performance is the first of several musical events that have been announced to be held there.

Well I have my first twenty minutes or so of my new play done. I had one of my friendly neighborhood actors read it and so far so good.
This is something totally new that I started today and was really inspired. The other play although I think a great idea in my opinion would not fill out an evening's entertainment.
The inspiration for the new play came from a song that BK has recorded on three different albums, but sung by two different different people.

Dr Elmore:
Things are getting better. Starting next week I only have to see my chiropatric doctor once a week. The constant pains are not all that constant any more.

Any fans of the Capitol Steps here? And their Lirty Dies?
One of my favorites involved Dincess Priana (defore she bied) and her little affair. The Capitol Steps' line was "someone phook a toto. And a tideovape."
Of course, Clill Binton was president at the time, and we still celebrated the American lay of wife.

I still for the life of me can't remember who the Joi Lansing type well-racked blonde actress was that I doubled for as a very young actress in an episode of a schlocky Canadian-American TV show. (We were around the same height and had somewhat the same coloring. The resemblance ended there bigtime.) In the same show, I played a nurse when not doubling for the buxom blonde. Unbeknownst to me, lit a certain way, my nurse's uniform became a see through number. I was quite flattered that the handsome star of the show was paying quite a bit of attention to me. Obviously, even though my role is small (along with my rack) - he sees my burning talent, thought I Then he took me aside and commented on my cute white panties. (Cotton, of course.) Never have I felt so deflated.

College's Decision to Allow Men Irks Women
Wednesday, December 08, 2004
NEW YORK — A decision by Wells College , which has been all-women since 1868, to begin admitting male students in order to boost enrollment has riled female students
…
"We all leave our doors unlocked. We can run around in our nighties. It's all girls and we feel really safe and that will change," said student Starbuck Hersey.
A hearing on the lawsuit against the school is scheduled for Dec. 16. Until then, the school is actively recruiting male applicants.
Advertising the bit about running around in nighties should aid in recruitment.

Good Evening!
Good shows today. However - and this isn't really a good "sign" - I seem to get sleepy right after the opening number is finished. Hmm... I even took a cat nap on the floor of the "pit" during the intermission of the second show. -However, everyone seemed a bit "yawn-y" today, so... -Now, that was "yawn-y", as opposed to "yanni" which are Greek-style green beans, or "Yanni" which is Greek-style "cheese". ;)
In other news...
I was a "bad son" today. I did not make it over to the hospital this morning before the show to visit my father. Yes, I do feel guilty about it, and my mom's "stare" when I came into the house tonight didn't help matters either. Of course, when I asked how he was doing and when he was due home, all I got was, "He's fine. In a few days." So... Information, please! But I will try my best to be a good son tomorrow morning. *I'm also feeling much better today - no more sniffles and throat stuff, so... -When I walked out of the hospital the other day, I actually wasn't feeling too hot. Hospitals are full of sick people, ya' know. ;)
OH! And on Page 10 already!!!! WOW!!!!!

Well, I'm sorry I'm so late logging in tonight, but naturally I couldn't rest until I had seen WHAT IF? and one viewing led to another, and well, you know how it goes. . . .
It's inventive, hilarious, touching, and loads of fun. Kudos to all.
Favorite first act moment - "Audition" (The FIDDLER What If?). As someone who has done two different productions of A CHORUS LINE with the original Bennett choreography, your choreographers did a fabulous job sticking in moments from those steps throughout that number. It was delirious delight watching it.
Favorite second act moment - not sure of the title, but Track 21 solo "Beautiful Inside" maybe? Beautifully sung with just the perfect sense of poignancy. Memorable.

Good evening, fellow dear readers. What a long day it has been.
Happy Birthday (although a bit late) to Dear Reader Dan the Man and to Dear Reader PennyO!! It's not too late for a cake report!
Note to DR Jose: if you have a sniffly nose, the nurses would probably prefer you not visit the hospital.
Tomorrow is our Christmas Pageant at church. The director (who seems to want to keep the program a surprise from everyone) had to leave the state for a family emergency. No one really has any idea what the program is supposed to be. I guess it will all be a big surprise tomorrow. On us all.

This morning I went on a bird walk and saw 41 different species of birds. Here is one of them, although not x-rated:
-
TOD:
The Blackwater Lightship
The Presidential Debates
The Fraiser Finale
The Apprentice (first go-round)
-
I didn't know how to put the program info in the DVD package, as its in that slimline case. I think Michael Shayne has it up at the bk website.
-
There was a finale for Frasier? What happened?
-
Happy Birthday (although a bit late) to Dear Reader Dan the Man and to Dear Reader PennyO!! It's not too late for a cake report!
Last night I had a chocolate cake with rum chocolate frosting and rum whip cream. Tonight, I had a traditional pound cake with buttercream frosting. Lots of rosettes, along with scoops of chocolate mint ice cream.

As long as a certain roommate hasn't decided to make toast with your DVD player. :P

He left Seattle to follow his true love.

...Which I tried to explain to my Mom, so...
Also... I don't mind visiting people in the hospital, but when a visit more or less amounts to sitting - and sometimes sleeping - in the room while the person you are visiting is sleeping, that is not my idea of a good visit. Especially if the diagnosis is very good. Yes, I know that sounds very selfish, and it is. But when you keep being "told" that it's "OK" to keep going on with your normal daily routine... Ah, well...
Sorry to vent... All better now.
However, I am truly thankful that my Dad's surgery went well. That they caught the cancer very, very early. And, most importantly, that he'll be home in time for Christmas.
And.... Ssssshh... My brother, Jay, was able to work out some extra time off next week, so he'll be flying in from San Diego on the 29th to surprise my Dad. He'll be able to stay for a week or so. Additionally, my brother Jay's birthday is January 1, so we'll all be able to celebrate his birthday and the New Year together - and that hasn't happened in years.

Don't even go there!!!....
However, if that were the case... That would take care of January's rent!
-
"He left Seattle to follow his true love."
I guess I'll catch it in re-runs, which is the only way I see any shows.
-
"Girls in white panties with blue satin sashes,
These are a few of my favorite things."

This is a happening place, baby. I just finished the first of four Edgar Wallace movies, a box set from Germany. These films all had horrid English dubs here in the US (the dub is included), so it's nice to see them in German with English subs. That said, there's something wackier about the dubs. The first film in the box (I started with Box 3 - there are, thus far, six box sets with four films each), 1962-1963. The first film isn't so hot, but the second one, which I've begun is much better, directed by the man who did most of these, Alfred Vohler. The first one wasn't directed by him and it really shows. I think ninety percent of the films were directed by Vohler - I've also got boxes four five and six on their way.
-
I'm thinkin' this jernt is gonna be jumpin' well into the evening.
-
Well... As much as I would like to be a part of the late night partay festivities, I'm afraid I'm must head to the Burger of Wuss now...
Goodnight.
-
No more wire WUSSBURGERS, ever!
I'm loving this second Edgar Wallace movie - filled with style and atmosphere and wackiness.
-
Welcome five GUESTS. We're talkin' about this and that and also that and this. Who ARE you people? Come in and say hello, why don't you?

I remember seeing some of those films back in the 70s on late night TV...I enjoyed them, as I recall...but they all blend together in my mind. As you watch them I would be most curious to know which titles you enjoy...I know some of them are available from Alpha video in the English dubbed versions and I have thought about picking them up.

Last night I had a chocolate cake with rum chocolate frosting and rum whip cream.
Now I love whipped cream about as much as bk loves white cotton underpants (UNDERPANTS!)... but I've never heard of run whipped cream. Please describe in glorious detail.

And one for Mahler.

No DVD of WHATIF, however . . .
Me either. <sigh>

Somehow I accidentally logged on to Nov 13, 2003 -- a day in which there were over 500 posts. Yikes!
Today's number is most excellent, as well.
I'm still trying to figure out how I jumped back in time that way. Oh well.
-
I just realized that we're on Page 12!! Wow! After work this afternoon (so that I wouldn't have to use what little vacation time that I have), I went to Barnes and Noble to wrap items that people purchased for donations to the American Cancer Society. I was there for four-and-a-half hours and wrapped about 15 or 16 packages. There was almost $70 in the donation can when I got home! (and no, there wasn't more before I left the store ::) )
So now I'm home and am going to catch up (and maybe even ketchup) on the posts. I was just about to click to Page 8 (which is where I left off reading)...
-
All DVDs were sent out at the same time, so it's just the vagaries of the various post offices.
-
I tell you, we'll stay all night and we'll sing 'em all.

Back from a visit to my 98 year old father. Still walks unaided, is on no medication but has substantial short term memory problems. He assure me he will make it to 100 (he wants to live to a greater age than his Maternal Grandmother who died at 99).
-
Well, I just went to page 8 and this is the first post on that page (otherwise it's post #210):
Yes Joi in panties brings joi to the world.
I don't know what I got myself into! :o ;)
-
And they say Saturday night is the loneliest night of the week. Not on your tintype.

Panties.

We're dancin', we're singing', we're havin' a partay.
-
We're swingin', baby - we are the swinginest and the ginchiest site on all the Internet. Let the others scratch their collective heads in wonderment at the swingin' site we are.
-
Sorry, Jay!
I forgot you ALSO belonged to the exclusive and private HHW Naughty Mind Club!
As do I. ::) ;)
-

I forgot it was Saturday. ...I'm sleepy. Some people around here go to bed late, then sleep in. I don't. Sleep in that is. So now I'm getting sleepy.

DR MBarnum - Congrats on accomplishing your misson!!
Btw, my Ford Escort Wagon - blue - is 11 years and 4 months. And it's about to hit 200,007 miles! And it still gets about 35mph! Sometimes more if the moon is right!
Jose -- Aren't you required to drive faster than that on the Beltway?
