MOST SIGNIFICANT CURRENT EVENT:
ASSOCIATED PRESS (http://news.aol.com/strange/story/_a/catfish-assault-reported-at-diner/n20070307064509990006?cid=936)
::CUE UP BANJOES::
Catfish Assault Reported at Diner
BULLS GAP, Tenn. (March 7) - The folks at Di's Diner were assaulted with a catfish dinner of their own making.
Employee Tina Henry and owner Dwight Jenkins told authorities a "blond, heavy-frame female" tried to slip out of their Bulls Gap eatery, about 60 miles northeast of Knoxville, with a pilfered catfish meal Friday night.
"Tina states that as the suspect was paying, they told her she would have to pay for the dinner in her purse," Hawkins County Sheriff's Cpl. David Lafollette wrote in his report.
"She then became mad, throwing money at the cash register. The suspect then walked outside, and Tina and Dwight followed," the report said.
"The suspect then threw the fish out of her purse at Tina, hitting her in the back."
Henry wasn't hurt, but the $7.99 catfish dinner was ruined.

Good morning. With this stupid cold I didn't sleep too well last night, but it does seem to be getting better. I have a very busy day at work so I decided to just get up and get the day started.
-
Good morning Ben, Have you washed your oatmeal bowl yet?
-
I better get going. I must get ready for work and I do have some things to do there before meeting my client at the courthouse at 8:30 AM
-
Now that I'm caught up I will head into the lounge and wash my bowl and my coffee cup.

DR MattH, you said something about frenchie davis/American Idol. You said that Frenchie had not told the producers about her photos. I don't think that's right. I'm not positive, but i just read an article today that said she HAD told the producers.

It's not what I usually have, oatmeal with cranberries and walnuts, but it will do. I can't find a picture of oatmeal with raisins. I sometimes put cranberries in with the raisins or I will chop an apple and put that in as well. I've never put almonds in my oatmeal. I also have a cup of black coffee with my oatmeal. I've cut down to about 2 cups of coffee a day. I used to drink much, much more but I am now only a moderate drinker of said beverage.

I've never seen any of the earlier episodes. It plays in order on Channel 21 here in the NYC area on Saturdays, although it's off schedule right now due to fundraising. They are in the later episodes but Mr. Humphries is still there at the counter with his gap-toothed smile.

Us early morning folk are a sedate bunch, aren't we? We rarely do the page dances that crop up later in the day.
Speaking of coffee, DR Ben, a friend of mine was once put on a caffeine restriction for a short time by his doctor. At the diner, the waitress was reaching to refill his cup with the leaded variety. As he realized, he reached out to cover the cup with his hand, saying, "No, no, decalf, DECALF!" to which the waitress replied, deadpan and without skipping a beat, "Well, I can see why!"

FYI for those newcomers who were wondering, each page has 30 posts but they flip to the next page on a 9 count because the very first post of each day is not numbered. It's BKs post introducing the notes. The post after that is Number 1 and then we go to 29 (really 30) and flip to Page 2. Post 59 is the last before Page 3, Post 89 is the last before Page 4 etc., etc., etc., (A King and I reference).

Thinking about the TOD:
- One "accomplishment" is close to 30 years ago, but having gotten into Harvard Law School seems (rightly or wrongly) to say a lot about me to people who see my resume, so it's an accomplishment that has had a major impact on how people react to me professionally. I happen to know it was all about a quirky facility with standardized tests, and I know what my classmates were like in law school and on average they weren't all that special as human beings :) - but that seems to be the accomplishment that others put a lot of stock in.
- getting to work with the ridiculously talented Bruce Kimmel, who was one of the mavericks I admired certainly since my college days, and even before. This is probably an "accomplishment" I got through my association with Skip rather than through my own abilites, but it's been a very happy situation.
- Being in a relationship with Skip for (at this point) over 17 years. That's not a big deal to most people, but in my twenties, i never thought that was in the cards for me.

Good morning DRs Fred and Woody and Matt.....
It is a very pretty early morning in Arizona, and we are having lots of sun, and a high of about 85 today. That is really quite pleasant here, because it doesn't really reach that until 1:30 or 2 in the afternoon. Yes, July and August are usually killer-hot (from 104 to 109 average), but I'd still much rather keeping cool, than shoveling driveways or scraping icy windshields.
I guess I didn't get much of "the Pioneer Stock" from my grandparents from the midwest.
-
As to the TOD --
I think my proudest accomplishment would be the fact that I was given the chance to have a very active role in the first 3 or 4 years of the life of my nephew. I never thought anyone would catch me changing a diaper or walking back and forth slowly with him in my arms to calm him and let him get sleepy, but we were lucky enough to get to babysit him quite often. To this day, he still has the "guest room" as his own here at the house.
-
It's time for me to get ready for work.
Everything is quite pretty outside. The sky is bright blue, the ground is covered with sparkling white stuff. I love this part of the world.

Dear Esteemed, well-written, and hopefully rested BK --
I was sorry to hear that craft services were so glum back in the 70s, but I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. Even at the General Hospital set, there wasn't the table of goodies like you would see nowadays. We had to grab our own coffee or soda from the cafeteria, and then I'd try to hang out with Lucille Wall because she always brought good stuff from home to her dressing room.

Thursday morning greetings! As a follow-up to yesterday's medical appointment, I had to go for fasting blood work this morning. One of my veins "blew" (don't know exactly what that means, but it doesn't sound good), so the tech had to abort that attempt and go for the other arm. Fortunately, I had a nice breakfast date with DH Richard to look forward to and now I'm at work.
-
I've done a great many shows that I'm very proud of, both the show itself and what I did within the show.
However, if I had to say the thing I'm proudest of, it's my thirty year career as a junior high school (later middle school) English teacher. I stayed at the same school for the entire tenure of my working life and because I did, I taught in some cases two generations of children in the same families. I had students of mine come back and become teachers in the school where I worked. I had parents insisting that their children be placed in my class. And I had the high school English teachers who to a person said they could pick out my students from their classes.

I have to end early today and head down to clean up for lunch with friends. We're doing it early today: 11:30.

Ah, SINGDAW. Let me explain about my "BK trivia." Bruce and I knew each other as teenagers--Bruce was my very first boyfriend. I recall many things from those years, but unfortunately, Bruce and I lost contact about the time he graduated from high school. I happened across him last summer while doing a web search, emailed him, and ta-da! here I am. (Bruce's version of events is in the archives under "I Dream of Jeannie.") I deeply regret that we lost touch for so long and I am still trying to catch up on all he's done in his career! Yes, still. So, I know lots about him in some ways, yet there are huge gaps I'm still trying to fill.
I'm also not a YouTube person. May I suggest DR MICHAELSHAYNE as the official BK documentarian? He put together brucekimmel.com.
I'd be happy to answer whatever else I can--of course, then I'd have to kill you. :)

My DH and I had dinner with our own DR Jose last night! He was amazingly chipper running on such little sleep. We picked him up from his hotel and headed to Rathbun's, which is a nice example of adaptive reuse in an industrial area, across from Tyler Perry's studio. Jose and I each had "Crispy Duck Breast with Thai Risotto with Green Curry Essence", which was very yummy, and Greg had chicken and mashed potatoes, which I tried, and was not impressed with. The chicken was dry and the potatoes were rather soupy. But dessert mafe up for it: "Dark Chocolate Orange Cheesecake
Grand Marnier Sabayon" which, thankfully, was a round confection about the size of a can of snuff (we are in the South) and Jose had some yummy special dessert that perhaps he will describe.
Thankfully, the restuarant is casual, since Jose's suitcase was MIA and hadn't arrived before we'd left.
We of course discussed various HHW'ers, but I hope we will discuss much more the next time I see him, which will either be tonight, at puppet beer night in The Graveyard, or Saturday, during auditions. . There were some things I wanted to find out, like the whole story of MBarnum and the fire escape...something that was discussed before I was a member and is referred to now and then.
I hope the hotel has solved their network problems and Jose will let us know how day one of auditions went. And I hope we get to see him tonight, too!

RE: LOST
* * * * * HERE THERE SPOILERS BE! * * * * *
I was a bit disappointed in last night's episode. I don't like the split stories--it reminds me of when NORTHERN EXPOSURE began doing three story lines each episode to utilize its large cast with the resulting plot never having much to do with one another. The ping pong match with Sawyer and Hurley just seemed like more comic relief against the other intense goings-on with Kate, Locke and Sayid.
Another disappointment was the killing of Miss Clugh. This show has constantly introduced new, intriguing characters and then almost systematically killed them off. Of all the Others we've seen so far, I thought that Miss Clugh was one of the most interesting. So much for her...
Sayid's flashback seemed to me a little too much like DEATH AND THE MAIDEN. But even so, it reminded me why I still prefer LOST over HEROES--that the people who populate this show are so beautifully written and not just stock characters caught up in fantastic drama. LOST can be frustratingly stingy in it's storytelling compared to the jam-packed HEROES, but I think it's ultimately more satisfying.
-
Personally, I am most proud of recognizing that Greg was the love of my life when I fist met him (although it was years before we got together)
Professionally, I am most proud of
1. steering a course towards finally getting to work with my hero, Van Dyke Parks
2. making a comfortable living supporting myself doing something I love for the past 20-odd years (some of then VERY odd!)
3. my partnership with documentarian Peter Miller, which has enriched my life in too many ways to count (apart from financially!).

Let me just say i loved last night's show.
It's hard for them to do things to change things up. But last night's show was quite a departure for me.
Even though teenage allison did not seem like allison to me (the way she spoke, her body type...). But i guess as long as the actress does a decent job it's okay.
Anyhow. at first i was thinking that things were hapenning to big allison in real time. But that we were also seeing a teenage allison's life and dreams at the same time.
It was only at the end did i realize that we were really seeing teenage allison's life and seeing older allison only through teenage allison's dreams.
Did that make sense?
I thought that it was really interesting. And how things ended up surprised me.
Oh and seeing Frasier woman as allison's mom. Do we know anything about allison's mom? Gosh that must have been so hard having those abilities and having her mom discount everything about her life!
Great show.

I liked this show too. I thought that sayid's backstory was fascinating and showed some stuff i did not know. And it made me wonder if he had really tortured that woman (or if he just wanted to give her peace).
The whole pit with sayid knowing the patch guy was an Other was also cool. And then the end with locke and the computer.
It was actually quite an interesting episode.

Our Log Cabin organization weighs in on Ann Coulter:
(Washington, DC) – Log Cabin Republicans President Patrick Sammon made the following statement about pundit Ann Coulter's remarks at CPAC:
"Ann Coulter should be embarrassed by her anti-gay remarks at the Conservative Political Action Conference. Coulter's words are not worthy of this event or our nation's political dialogue. Intelligent people engage in political debates using ideas not insults. Unfortunately, she has made a career out of saying increasingly outrageous things just to garner headlines and shill her books. Ann Coulter is more interested in soundbites than substance and she has become more ridiculous than relevant. She obviously has no shame."

DR Edisaurus, I can 'splain the fire escape....there was a wonderful HHW gathering in NY, NY in October of 2005 which I flew in for...because I am a practically destitute state employee DR Elmore, along with DRs TPunk and Rodzinski, opened up their respective homes to me during my visit.
Of course the joke was that, curmudgeon that he is and because I would never be as good of a guest as DR Joey had been, Chateau Elmore only had room for me on the fire escape.
In actuallity, however, I was allowed to sleep indoors on the floor using a very nice air mattress that Larry purchased just for my trip! Well, for me and later for DR Jane, who used the air mattress when I moved over to The TPunk-Rodzinski Arms for the final few days of my visit (where I shared a room with two delightful furry felines).
So you see DR Elmore is really not such a curmudgeon (although now that I have revealed that fact, he will probably have me killed).
I also was offered quarters at Jose's NoTel Motel where I understand the place is decorated with etchings. But I never did make it over there.

I think Haley, Antonella and, possibly, Sabrina are the most likely to go. Not one of those three were memorable, IMO. I think Stephanie might be on the edge, as well.
I think Melinda, LaKisha, Gina and Jordin are the four strongest women, though that may not translate into popularity votes for any of them.
For the men, definitely Sanjaya. It's a crap shoot whether Sundance, Jared or Brandon go with him. All were equally miserable...IMO, of course.

OK, can someone 'splain something to me about American Idol?
I've never really followed it, but I did see an episode once - I guess it would be one of the early ones, where the unwashed masses are all going for it.
What I didn't understand was: are some of these people play-acting for the camera to get their 5 minutes of fame - coached by the producers to get great drama out of it? Or is it really possible to be that deluded about your talent quotient? Can some of these people really not hear what they sound like?
It was fascinating and disturbing at the same time.

What I didn't understand was: are some of these people play-acting for the camera to get their 5 minutes of fame - coached by the producers to get great drama out of it? Or is it really possible to be that deluded about your talent quotient? Can some of these people really not hear what they sound like?
are some of these people play-acting for the camera to get their 5 minutes of fame YES
- coached by the producers to get great drama out of it? YES
Or is it really possible to be that deluded about your talent quotient? OH YES
Can some of these people really not hear what they sound like? YOU BETCHA RED RYDER
I can handle two more: I have the POPE-CATHOLIC and BEAR-WOODS lines ready.

Good Afternoon!
Greetings from Atlanta!
-
The short version:
I made it in yesterday afternoon, even after my departure from La Guardia was delayed.
Alas, my luggage did nor reach me until 3:30AM(?!??) this morning, so.... :-\ Of course, it did get delivered to the Hilton... Just the wrong one! !@#!@#&!@^#%!@&#^%!
-
I put "Song Cycle" and "Jump" in my amazon basket - is that a good start?
der Brucer
I would sample them before buying, since my tastes in music don't often agree with other people's. I wouldn't want to lead you astray! (Remember Cowboy Troy!)
I would recommend as a good introduction: "Moonlighting", which is a live recording and features Grant Geissman. "Song Cycle" is at the top of many critics all-time best album lists, and is distilled Van Dyke. One of the things I appreciate about him is that he has led me to so many other genres of music. He has 2 wonderful albums of calypso music, which introduced me to a genre I came to love very much and have sought out since then. I even tried to get funding for a calypso documentary, but I didn't have a track record at the time. (My title: CALYPSO FACTO.)
"Tokyo Rose" is also a great album about the US's relationship with Japan.
Let me know what you think!

Hope everyone is well. Hopefully, I'll be able to catch up on things tonight.

Nope. My son used to listen to the show when we lived in Claremont in the early seventies. I came late to the party via CDs.
When I was in college, the guilty pleasure was the 10" vinyl "Songs Of Tom Lehrer".

DR MattH, when are the audition dates for THE MUSIC MAN? Will there be an orchestra for the performances?
Thanks for asking. The auditions won't be until August - the show goes up in the fall. This is the same director that I did Max in THE SOUND OF MUSIC and Bob Cratchit in SCROOGE for, and we had at least 10 pieces in the orchestra for each, as I recall.
-
Had a nice lunch and some excellent telephone conversations. And since lunch was early, I was able tosqueeze in a long film in the afternoon.
-
I began the afternoon with last night's MEDIUM, an excellent episode, once again changing things up just a bit to keep the viewer off balance. A really fascinating story with the teen Allison (whom we've seen before on at least one previous episode and maybe more.) I was hoping we might get to see the college aged Joe Dubois, but they didn't allow it, at least not in this episode.
-
The movie I watched this afternoon was recorded last night off Showtime-HD - it was Don Roos' HAPPY ENDINGS. At first, I thought there were too many stories and characters with vignettes not developed enough from one to another. However, I have to give him credit for looping everything together by the end in most ingenious ways. I ended up liking the film quite a bit. I didn't find it as cynical or as heartless as his first film THE OPPOSITE OF SEX, and thus I ended up liking it more.
-
Since tonight's schedule is dotted with reruns, I'll have only the IDOL results show, SCRUBS, and 30 ROCK (Nathan Lane is guest starring as Alec Baldwin's brother; I guess his real brothers were otherwise occupied). By 10 p.m., I'll be watching the last Mr. Moto film in the package.

Good afternoon DRs, H/Ks, and dear Esteemed BK --
Today was productive, but nothing at all fun..... it was time to pay the second half of the year of property taxes for the Ranch here! UGH!!!
-
I, too, enjoyed "Medium," and I particularly enjoyed the jumping back and forth in time...present day Allison dreaming, and then teenaged Allison dreaming, with each of their dreams shaping their alternate realities.
Very clever use of the space/time conundrum....can Allison, facing a horrible truth about someone she knew in her youth, change the past in order to alter the future?
Several memories surface in dreams, and the teenaged Allison dreams of a future in which her adult Allison provides a validation of her talents that her mother (who apparently uses drugs to suppress any talents she, herself, may have) cannot/will not.
Peri Gilpin was excellent as Allison's mother.

Isn't one brother still in drug rehab?

I've done three-and-a-half pages - might do another half in a little while. As I've said before, normally I will not finish chapters before ending a writing session, because I find it very difficult to start anew on a new chapter the next day - whereas, if I pick up where I left off, in the middle of a chapter or the end of a chapter, I know exactly where I am and how to proceed, which will then lead me directly into the new chapter.
But, I'd finished the last chapter because I didn't want to give Margaret an incomplete chapter. So, I spent a lot of today starting and re-starting and shifting things around and smoothing things out to get an opening to the chapter that I was happy with. I think I finally got it right and now, thankfully, I'm close to four pages into it.

It's not what I usually have, oatmeal with cranberries and walnuts, but it will do. I can't find a picture of oatmeal with raisins. I sometimes put cranberries in with the raisins or I will chop an apple and put that in as well. I've never put almonds in my oatmeal. I also have a cup of black coffee with my oatmeal. I've cut down to about 2 cups of coffee a day. I used to drink much, much more but I am now only a moderate drinker of said beverage.
I have heard that the best way to eliminate coffee from your diet, is to substitute one 8 oz. glass of whiskey for every cup of coffee you normally consume.

It wasn’t a long surgery, just began much later than expected. She had to be at the hospital at 9:00 this morning & they didn’t operate until at least 1:30. I hope they fed her, she needs to gain weight, not loose any more.

I liked DR MATTH's and DR RLP's paragraphs, but I have enjoyed them all. Just surviving to 56 is about all I have done. Taught some people some things, made some people's lives better, and haven't been too bad to too many people.

The butterflies like sunshine and heat. The trouble here is that stuff that isn't native (or from desert areas of Australia) dies out pretty early. So the butterfly mat would pretty much die out in June from the heat.
Desert soil is difficult to garden in, so I would put lots of organic stuff.

FJL-Seventeen years with Skip is a great accomplishment, any good long term relationship is and it doesn’t happen.
My parents loved each other but their relationship was often not the best. I cherished the happy times and was determined, at a very young age, to have a good marriage.
I think that is my greatest accomplishment. I hope I can take some credit that my children are nice people who have attempted to make a difference for the better in this world.

I'll probably trench out a spot, line it with crushed stone to help with drainage, then add a sack or so of Miracle-Gro soil.

Speaking of Humphries (albeit spelled differently), John Inman, the actor who played Sales Clerk Mr. Humphries on Are You Being Served? (http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/guide/articles/a/areyoubeingserve_7770355.shtml) has died.
John Inman (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070308/tv_nm/inman_dc)
What a shame. Vixdad and I met him once when we used to be regular volunteers at our local PBS station. Back in the late 80's I was chosen to be in a documentary the BBC was doing on the popularity of 'Are You being Served?" in the US, we all went to the assistant staion manger's home and watched a tape of AY.B.S. on the tv while the BBC crew filmed us watching. Then they interviewed us and put little `30 second blips of us saying how we enjoyed it.... Vixdad's family still in England called us when it aired...
ANYWAY.... when John Inman came to be a guest speaker at one of WLIW21's begathons pledge drives, Vixdad and I were invited to be part of the on air volunteers and invited to a private room to view the BBC film . John Inman was standing next to me while we were watching , he had just autographed something for me, when suddenly my face filled the screen answering a question about whether I felt the humor was accessible to the average American... and John Inman turned to me and said "Why that's you!! I had better have your autograph!"
So the only time in my whole I was ever asked for my autograph was by John Inman.
He was very a very pleasant and very funny man and I am very sorry to hear abot his passing

I began my evening with BULLITT. I'm rewatching this very old DVD issue to see if I want to upgrade to the Blu-ray version.
Yes, the transfer does look old, but some shots look very good, and as seldom as I watch the film, this one might do me just fine right for now.
Amazon has a 50% off sale on Fox and Sony Blu-rays right now, and if they extend this to Warners discs eventually, I'll buy it. I'd rather spend that $20 on something I don't have yet in any version. I've been thinking about FOURTEEN HOURS which Amazon also has on sale right now.

I watched the IDOL results show live tonight. Not used to that since I've recorded it and watching other shows opposite it during the past two weeks. Tonight, everything was repeats, so I went ahed and watched live. Never again. I'll record from now on so I can zip through all the manufactured tension.
At any rate, we at least lost one very, very poor singer though we had to give up one good one in the process. Of the two men, neither was going anywhere anyway, so losing them now was no loss. I still think it abominable that something other than talent and stage presence can get people voted into the finals, but this isn't the first time it's happened, and I suspect we'll be rid of the untalented ones soon enough.

Back from a really nice meal with a faculty member from LACC. I shall now attempt to watch a motion picture on DVD - I remember it being quite bad but so bad it's actually entertaining on some level.

SCRUBS tonight had a new episode, but it was a fairly talky one that didn't have much funny in it. A patient who found out the Army didn't want him back attempts suicide, and the cast makes many efforts to explain why there's so much to live for.
-
30 ROCK's episode tonight featured Nathan Lane doing some funny stuff as Alec Baldwin's ne'er-do-well brother. Molly Shannon was also featured as his sister. I enjoyed the show but wasn't bowled over by it.
We'll see what Andy Richter's new comedy is like next week.

I am sorry that, in his strong dislike of BYE BYE BLACKBIRD (A Luxemboug movie! Not French) BK "forgot" to mention what a great acrobat AND actor Mr James Thiérrée is!

Oh, Mr Ozon ("8 Women") has a new film out ALL IN ENGLISH ("Angel") and he's French!

We will need a Graveyard Report sooner or later.
We had about a dozen for puppet beer night. One of them is a regular on GOOD EATS, usually playing a bad uncle, a repairman, or whatever calls for a tall, skinny wacky and slightly sleazy guy.
The place is huge, very nicely done (it used to be a motorcycle repairshop called Motorcycle Graveyard, and they kept the big Graveyard sign. The food was delish, but when the blue singer started playing and wailing, I was really glad DR Jose wasn't there. We must protect his ears!

Here's a synopsis of "Meet the Robinsons" from IMDb.com:
Lewis is a brilliant inventor with a surprising number of clever inventions to his credit. His latest and most ambitious project is the Memory Scanner, a machine that will help him find his birth mother so they can become a family. But before he can find her, his invention is stolen by the dastardly Bowler Hat Guy and his diabolical hat and constant companion, Doris. Lewis has all but given up hope when a mysterious stranger named Wilbur Robinson whisks our bewildered hero away in a time machine and together they team up to track down Bowler Hat Guy in a showdown that ends with an unexpected and unbelievable twist of fate. Written by John
It's called a bowler hat...
