Come to think of it, the title reads right for that!
;D
Doesn't it? Nope, it's pretty Miss Jane Powell and the ever-wonderful Kaye Ballard with Cliff Robertson, Keith (sit down, MBarnum!) Andes, and Lesley Brown's father Kelly; Ms Brown is my goddaughter's ballet teacher and co-star o f THE TURNING POINT.

As if we needed any more proof that comedy is such an individual thing:
My local film critic in today's paper gave the new Steve Martin/PINK PANTHER film 1 1/2 stars out of 4 finding almost nothing about it funny (did like Kevin Kline in the part Herbert Lom made so memorable).
Mike Clark, the USA TODAY film critic, gave the film 3 stars out of 4 finding much of it reliably amusing.
How about The Brotherhood of the Traveling Speedos?
OK
Nothing....NOTHING in the world could compel me to watch a movie called THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS....
It was bad enough that I once had to sit through THE SECRETS OF THE YAYA SISTERHOOD....
Speaking of Netflix and Broadway's Lost Treasures--have any Netflix people here ordered Broadway's Lost Treasures: The Plays? From what I understand, Netflix is the only place where this is available for viewing--it's not for sale anywhere.
How about The Brotherhood of the Traveling Speedos?
Yes, I'm still waiting for my BAKER STREET CD to arrive. So far, nothing.
DR RLP, thankyou for the Times link... a well written op-ed piece indeed, unfortunately it probably won't be read and appreciated by the people who so desperately need to get the message!
Well...that's true....but then there are people who read The Bible daily, and they STILL don't seem to have gotten the message.
Weather update: We are having THE MOST UNUSUAL February...temps in the 70s every day...gorgeous evenings...clear skies....balmy everything.
Why, it's almost like being in paradise....(or so I'm led to believe).
They only seem to read Deutoronomy! (which I find odd in self professed Christians... they seem to miss the whole message of the fella whose teachings they purport to be following!)
DR JRand - I was glad to read yesterday that you'd received your To Kill a Mockingbird materials. It has just come to my attention that there's also an article about Monroville, AL, in the January, 2006, issue of National Geographic.
DR RLP thanks for that photo of Marge and Gower from LOVELY TO LOOK AT....it's a stunner!!
Jose: Have a safe trip!!!
If wishes were horses,
Beggars would ride.
If turnips were watches,
I would wear one by my side.
and if "ifs" and "ands,"
Were pots and pans,
There'd be no work for tinkers!
It'd be nice if my parents would read that article and actually hear what the author is saying. Of course, they don't hear what I say, either, so wishing is futile...
Jose: Have a safe trip!!!
By George, we've done it! We've gone and started another page.
Who's looking forward to the first blizzard of the season? I AM!!!
BRING IT ON!!!
"The Best of the Tony Awards: The Plays" is the only title that I could find, but it has a 2004 date, so I don't really know if it is part of the same series. I couldn't find it on the usual places that I order, so I added it to my Netflix queue.
DR Ginny your post reminded me that the Opening Ceremonies are on here live now.
Will there be any live coverage of the Olympics in the US? Or is everything tape delay?
Here they do both. They have everything live on the CBC, and then they also do what NBC does by showing the good stuff at night.

That's TWP movies I ordered this week on account of you DR RLP.
Who? MOI?
I think maybe I'm owed a commission....
Is it still snowing there, DR DAKOTA CELT?
We just have wind now and the snow is VERY, VERY sideways....
I have VIXMOM typing fingers today! I must learn to proofread!
Good Afternoon!
Hmmm... Well, I just need to clear off and pack up my "desk" here, and I'll be all set to go. I finally got over not getting on the road by 10:00am this morning, but I'm over that... basically. ;)
I also realized that I do want to be up there next week, and it looks like if I headed up on Monday, it could actually be a bit tricky with the snow on the ground. So...
I should be hitting the road in about an hour, and, Good Traffic Vibes would be appreciated.
Laters...

The best part is that they bought the lengths of the two spots. They originally wanted a :15 and a :30, but I was told if I wanted to go to a : 30 and a :45 that that wasn't a prob. I ended up doing a :30 and a :60 just because it felt really good and never seemed like it WAS those lengths. My editor, having done many of these, was sure their note would be to cut them down, and he was delighted that we don't have to, as am I.
The printer was beeping at me and I don't know why.

I don't remember Ann in anything like that in LOVELY TO LOOK AT.
LOL...I love Red Skelton!
I think Ms Grayson has said her chest was big enough without BUNCHES of grapes accenting it...LOL
DR Jose should be hitting the Lincoln Tunnel right about now. Good travel vibes to him...
I am helping Adair (of the Bacharach revue) put a new cabaret together. Now she is using a young (and cheap, as in free) pianist for this event, who it turns out cannot deal with key changes and/or learning/notating charts from CDs. So, Adair came over with a stack of stuff today for her cabaret, which is jokingly entitled "It's All About Me." After listening to some of the tunes she needs help with, I jokingly suggested she change the name of the cabaret to "It's All About Liz Callaway." :) (Of course those of you who have heard Adair will know that she and Liz could be sisters, vocal-quality wise). So, anyway, BK, I am ensconced in various of your Liz CDs. Larry, did you orchestrate any of them?
Yes, and when singers ask me for my charts for Liz, I tell them they were arranged for her. I hope Adair has enough brains and taste not to be ripping off Liz.
No, she is using Liz's keys (as I think I stated) for various songs she's doing.
She's also doing "Not While I'm Around" in Barbra's key of C, so maybe someone should alert David Foster or whoever arranged that one. ;)
I wonder if the dress Katie is wearing in this photo is the "finale" dress:
Ms Grayson should be grateful that God gave her the chest so no one had to focus on her voice!
Wow DRRLP - a set of lobby cards like you've been showing us - from LOVELY TO LOOK AT- is going for more than $122 on EBAY!
Well where the heck do you think I got my screen captures from?
LOL...
Turkish Delight has been replaced by local quantity and quality perhaps.
Whew, that is a lot of guys coming and going in the last few days...what must the neighbors think.

DR GEORGE www.irs.gov tells me that my refund should arrive by February 21!
Whew, that is a lot of guys coming and going in the last few days...what must the neighbors think.
After all the men leave I will hie myself up to Mark and James' house. James went to Nevada to help his parents move into there new house, so Mark and I are going to eat home-made chicken noodle soup and watch Ma and Pa Kettle movies, of which he is a fan of.
Whew, that is a lot of guys coming and going in the last few days...what must the neighbors think.
I thought they were from the Pulliam Collection of Ephemera! ;)

Since she's from Winston-Salem, NC (i.e. not a native Idahoan)...I'd say she's probably endowed the music department at Idaho.
Yes I should invite the hunky neighbor over to see meetchingsfurnace.
Too many hot boxes in my book!
Either you're very popular or very lucky...or both! ;)
I think the opening ceremonies of the Olympics are on....

Greetings from British Isles.
My name is Michael Mann. I am the Head, Audit Committee of a reputable and well known Financial Trust here in Isle of Man. I am contacting you in a non-official
capacity and therefore require your utmost confidentiality.
The purpose of my writing to you is because I am searching for a foreign business partner who is in a position to assist me with an urgent business
proposal, as time is not on my side. A partner, who understands what confidentiality means and who has the necessary facilities required in
embarking on this important venture.
We had a client who deposited a huge sum of money with one of our branches in Europe, who later died in a fatal car accident on November 12,
2001. The client died intestate and nominated no successor in title over the investments made with our bank. Since the death of this client, I personally
have watched with keen interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his funds of ?11,700,000.00 (Eleven
Million, Seven Hundred Thousand Euros) deposited with our bank in 2000. This client shares the same surname with you. It is for this reason that I am
contacting you.
In accordance with the European Trust and Federal Laws, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, his investments with our bank shall revert to ownership
of the government of the country of the said investments if nobody applies as the next of kin to claim the investments.
Since you share the same surname with this client, I want to present you to stand in as the next of kin so that you and I can benefit from this
investment equally (i.e. 50% for you and 50% for me). I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any
breach of the law, as I will use my position to secure approvals and guarantee the successful execution of this transaction.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, kindly indicate your full names, your private telephone, fax numbers and location where the money will be
remitted. I will instruct you on the next step to take.
I look forward to your earliest response.
With warm greetings,
Michael C. Mann

If Wishes were horses...

Loyalty of the heart would reign

Carrot Stick Girl has left the building. Permanently.
That is all.

Tomovoz shall I ask my cousin's if they know Michael Mann? We can have their son in-law, the policeman, check him out.I doubt that Michael Mann exists DR Jane.
Just get your butt up here. I've had no one to be mean to since you and Barnum left town!
I watched a great little movie the other night from Netflix -- ALL OVER THE GUY, a very sweet, semi-gay (okay, very gay) comedy. Directed by Julie Davis, and staring Richard Ruccolo, Doris Roberts, Andrea Martin, and Dan Bucatinsky. I really liked this movie.
I doubt that Michael Mann exists DR Jane.
Of course he may be a good friend of Jane Ashland or Jeff Portland.
DR Jose should be hitting the Lincoln Tunnel right about now. Good travel vibes to him...
I'm here... Whipping boy, reporting for duty.
:o
:P
;D
DR TCB, I liked this film a lot; I'm a big fan of Adam Goldberg, and I thought Andrea Martin was wonderful as well.
Thank you, Larry, I thought maybe I was the lone ranger. Adam Goldberg was quite delightful, and I have always enjoyed watching Mr. Ruccolo.
And Jose as for your comments:"I'm here... Whipping boy, reporting for duty."[/u][/color]
Even I draw the line at some comments!
It's a complicated relationship.
That was rather a harsh comment from me, DR JMK, but it's theft. Alex and Liz worked very hard on her arrangements, and Bruce as producer had his input on them as well. I'm flattered that she likes their work, I'm proud of my involvement with them, but it's still theft. She should hire you, or another arranger, to arrange some songs she'd like to sing for her, but transcribing Liz's charts, or another singers', is something I don't approve of, even though I have been equally guilty of the same crime in my work for various projects.
I am watching the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics - the music is all old disco tunes.
The inspector man has come and left. Inspection went fine.
A heating guy came and picked up tubing and tools that he left behind.
The gas company man came and installed the meter.
Now two young guys are under the house hooking things up.
Shortly another heating man will arrive to show me how to use the new furnace.
Whew, that is a lot of guys coming and going in the last few days...what must the neighbors think.
I know. that's as weird as the pageant was.
Last night we watched CAPTURING THE FRIEDMAN’S. This documentary of the family is just as gripping, frustrating and sad as any good crime show. I kept waiting for the team from IN JUSTICE to sort out the truth for us.
Vixmom and other New Yorkers do you remember this case and the family?
Ben, at the end of the film it’s mentioned that David Friedman is the number one clown in New York. Does Anthony know him?
And Jose as for your comments:"I'm here... Whipping boy, reporting for duty."[/u][/color]
Even I draw the line at some comments!
...I still remember how "freaked out" I got when I heard the "Fresh Air" interview with Susan Orlean a few years ago. Ms. Orlean had written a story about the Friedmans - I believe it first appeared in "The New Yorker". Stranger and sadder than any fiction.
It's a complicated relationship.
Well, more like an "arrangement" or a "transaction".
:-X
I hoped you'd get in earlier so we could do something tonight, like dinner or a movie. Perhaps tomorrow night?
When they got to Botticelli's Venus on the half shell, I would have preferred Bette Midler had jumped out. At the news of "more drama to come," I decided it was time to turn it off, and now there's this strange man in red and blue doing something "modern." Basta!
Oh but Elmore you missed the guy in the Formula One Ferrari doing donuts and burning rubber....no lie! LOL
...I wonder if the "donuts" made their way down to the field surface?
::)
DR Cillaliz - Congrats on your move!
I envy you. It's gonna take me at least two more trips back and forth between here and Fairfax (and Richmond) to get all my stuff up here. *I've done the math, and renting a moving van would be sort of "silly", even if it would take care of things in one fell swoop. And the thought of driving a moving van on the NJ Turnpike and over the GW Bridge and through Washington Heights does not appeal to me at all.
Have fun in your new castle!
Well, the presentation of the Olympic Flag is starting off in a cool way...
DR MBarnum - I also really enjoyed GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK. I highly recommend CAPOTE. Philip Seymour Hoffman is just incredible. He really should win best actor for that performance.
I sang the priases of both of these movies back in November when I first saw them within a week of each other. I found them both marvelous, especially CAPOTE. I was thrilled when both got Best Picture nominations.
I saw CAPOTE last week and was really blown away. It was much better than I expected.
IN JUSTICE left me with tears in my eyes tonight. The show has really grown on me in the past few weeks.
I missed the last episode, but I think it's getting better.
Sorry Jose. Guess it was kismet!
Interesting François. She also recorded it in Spanish as "Extranos en el Paraiso."
TPunk is watching that Jane Monheit show now. She saw her live and met her at the San Jose Jazz festival. Nice voice.
Congrats on the official status, Jose.
MBarnum, the moment has finally arrived. I am watching Allied Artists' FROM HELL IT CAME!
Greetings from my new home!!! Moving was well moving. I still have some stuff at the old house. But there is no hurry to get out and the movers got all the furniture and most of the boxes, I just sort of hit the wall and didn't get everything packed. My handyman said he'd get a helper and move the rest for much less money. Can't beat that with a stick
IN JUSTICE left me with tears in my eyes tonight. The show has really grown on me in the past few weeks.
LP Cover of the night: Roslyn Kind "Give Me You." I know nothing about this woman. Has anyone here ever heard of her? The cover just kinda drew me in. Alas she is not a very good singer.
