It shouldn't take the pigeons very long... :P

Well the whole crowning thing was a bit of a let down, I didn't even get roses
-
Once the novicane wore off I was in agony, not from the tooth that was crown but from my top and bottom jaw wher she had apparently jabbed several thousand spikes
Vixdad gave me one of his painpills from his knee and I fell asleep in the recliner
-
I feel much better this morning - just a dull ache in my jaw
-
21 years ago Vixdad and I were joined in matrimony

you can tell it has been 21 years by the fact that I gave him a coffeemaker for his office and he gave me a dishwasher for the hosue and we are both estatic with these gifts

Book: BALLISTICS--poetry by Billy Collins
-
I have nothing to watch this weekend.
:'(
I'm in Austin, TX, and the hotel room doesn't have a DVD player.
It also has the worst internet signal in the world. Every 5 minutes I get knocked off the net.
So, maybe I'll go to a movie.
-
Here's one for the books.
The hotel (Comfort Suites) is on Time Warner Cable.
Time Warner is having some sort of dispute with NBC, thus it is not carrying the NBC network...at all.
No LAW & ORDER. No TONIGHT SHOW. Nothing.
I'm told that this is the situation for the entire state of Texas.
Unbelievable!
-
Good morning!
It's overcast and we may get rain today. Otherwise, it's moderately cool, but it isn't getting out of the low 70s today, so that will help.
-
As I mentioned last night, my friend Hal and I are going to participate in early voting today. Having never done it, I have no idea how long the lines will be. They were very long yesterday according to the newspaper. We'll see.

On TV Tonight!™
CBS - GHOST WHISPERER, THE EX-LIST, NUMB3RS

Good morning, all! The payment transfer landed in my bank this morning. The bad news is because of the hold up I lost nearly $100 on overdrawn fees, which really pisses me off. Once the rent check is turned over today, the account is back down to nothing, which has me hopong that the singer who asked for a new copy of my invoice on Sept 27 will send me a few bucks. The irony is, from the way he was talking on Sept 27, I thought he was going to pay off the balance.
I'm also hoping that the property closing happens ASAP. but this Ohio property is becoming a real albatross, and I wish my dad had sold it before his death.
Today, the landlord's office, then the pharmacy, and then the NYPL at Lincoln Center. After that, THE MOST HAPPY FELLA.
TOD:
DVD: too many things, in particular Season 1 of LIFE
CD: Guy Haines, Babes In Toyland, several Jerome Kern scores, La belle au bois dormant ballet
VCR: artistic anthropological studies

!!!!!!!!!!! Happy 21st Anniversary to DR vixmom and vixdad!!!!!!!!!
-
I had meant to comment on LIFE ON MARS, which is such an essentially unhappy premise that I fnd it hard to watch although I love the cast - I've known Michael Imperioli for 20 years or more since he was a student at Stella Adler's - but this violence between Keitel and O'Mara is too bizarre. I like the trippy neighbor, but I think she's essentially there to establish the openness of the early 1970s and the frankness of casual sex and drugs. I had a college friend who drove a taxi in 1972, and he was always bringing home passengers for threesomes with him and his girlfriend. I must say, though, that the city in the tv show looks nothing like I remember New York to look on my frequent trips during the 1970s.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'm watching "The Doctors"... Well, I think it should be called the "If You Watch This Show You Will Realize That You Are Unhealthy In Some Way Or Fashion". -Accompanied by the big "gloom and doom" music cue.
-
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO DR VIXMOM AND THE VIXDAD!!!!!
-
DR elmore - ...On the bright side, just remember you've lost 24 pounds (and counting), and you can see again with your new glasses. Just remember to breathe... And keep making those "reminder" phone calls. Then breathe again. ;)
-
...And the rain - and cooler temps - did come during the night, and I can definitely tell that the extra humidity has helped my sinuses. :)

Boy, Vixmom! You've got me beat for celebrating your wedding anniversary!

NBC Stations Will Ditch Time Warner Cable Unless They See Some Cash (http://consumerist.com/5056294/nbc-stations-will-ditch-time-warner-cable-unless-they-see-some-cash)
This may sound familiar to some of you, as the same struggle is going on all over the country, where other stations owned by KXAN's parent company, LIN TV, will also be dropped from TWC on October 2nd if a deal isn't reached.
There are 15 LIN TV-owned stations carried by Time Warner: Austin, Texas; Buffalo, N.Y.; Columbus, Ohio; Dayton, Ohio; Fort Wayne, Ind.; Green Bay, Wis.; Indianapolis; Mobile, Ala.; Springfield, Mass.; Terre Haute, Ind. and Toledo, Ohio.

Happy Anniversary to DR Vixmom!!!!!!!!

I got an interesting email yesterday from some guy in West Seattle who is the "event coordinator" for an upcoming Frances Farmer day, which will include her getting a "star" at Alaska Square and also a retrospective of some of her films. Unfortunately, they're also showing "Frances," which is about as "biographical" as "Harlow," and then are eating at the Shadowland Cafe, which, if you know the history of lies about Frances, does not augur well for the festival's verisimilitude-o-meter. They want me to come up and speak, but I'm booked for one of the days and not sure if I can drive up there, do my thing, and then turn around and come back--we shall see.
And they're putting in the new electricity lines for the new houses next door, so I will be without power for most of the day. Oy.

Why is your photo still squished, Missy Karen?
Can't you download it into HHW's photo cache from Photobucket?
-
They even put Love Potion #9 on here ...
-
Gloom and doom. Doom and gloom
-

What, no "I Put A Spell on You"?
-
"Zombie Jamboree" - I really like Rockapella's version.
-
I think it's time I haul out the DVD of "Hocus-Pocus" and revel in the deliciousness of Bette Midler as a witch singing "I Put A Spell On You" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDidHzwYu3E) at an adult Halloween party.

Me likes the squished look -- and the missing tooth look (just in time for Halloween)
No, I can't.

Hmmm... Is anyone else noticing a general slow-down on the Internets this morning? A lot of my usual sites - including NYTimes.com - are taking a long time to load. -HHW seems to be unaffected, however (thankfully).

Nope, not on my CDs -- and that's a shame cause that's a good one.

BTW, the Oregonian had a big feature today on Project Runway's winner. She's moving to NYC. The article stated that none of the previous winners had been able to break through as successful designers. Interesting.
-
Larry and Jose and Ben and FJL and other NYC HHWers, this may (or may not ) be of interest to you guys...but there are surely some wonderful movies being shown (Including a brand new comedy starring John Abraham and a movie about a guy who, after finding out he has AIDS, decides to start going to the gym for his health, only to eventually win a bodybuilding contest)

Speaking of S'nark attacks....part of my media check for this weekend will be a Bollywood version of JAWS.

DR Elmore, I brought all those CDS you sent to me to work...our mail guy has borrowed the Ethel Waters CD and my co-worker Bud has been enjoying the Jermoe Kern and Rodgers and Hart CDs.
The rest of my office looked at the CDs and then walked away.

It's time to walk down to 68th Street and pick up my meds. After that, the NYPL.

Funeral March from Piano Sonata
Key? Composer?

Most like the Piano Sonata, No. 2, in B-Flat Minor (otherwise known as the "Funeral March" Sonata) by Frederic Chopin.

Speaking of spirits, this new HHW site has some that like messin' with ya -- I took a break from my frenzy and when I returned I was logged off -- and I didn't log off -- SO I had to relog in -- and then when I did that last response to DR RP, it did something strange, and when I tried to correct it, it appeared as it is -- looking even stranger. (Twilight Zone music)
Attack of the creepy-looking icons. Har-rump! I'm gonna take my squished avatar and leave!

Back from the long jog - I really sweated today, which I think is great for me. It wasn't too difficult until the last couple of blocks, when my back began to really hurt, otherwise I'm glad I did it. I must now shower and be on my way to lunch with Miss Susan Egan.

Good morning all. Toby and I slept until almost 11 this morning. Of course, we were up from 3:30 to almost 7, so we needed the sleep. I am now eating a pb&j sandwich and Toby is nursing. I developed a craving for pb&j during pregnancy, and it hasn't quite left me yet.

T.O.D.:
dvds;
SUPERNATURAL SEASON 3 - what a great, truly great season! And it's nice to have the upgraded 5.1 sound, too.
INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL - I like it, I don't LOVE it, but, it's just so much fun. Still, there's too much CGI-work.
Some hand made things I cannot name, but, Cheyenne Jackson has hit another home run and Jennifer Holliday was NOT going while Judy Kaye was not in love and David Hyde-Pierce took to the stage with Debra Monk.

SAAWARYIA - original soundtrack
Kristen Chenoweth - A Lovely Way to Spend Christmas

Also...the lovely Marathi actress Jayshree Gadkar passed away, at age 66 in Mumbai. She starred in a number of Bollywood films, including several mythologicals made in the late 60s and 70s.
She was also quite popular in Marathi cinema in the early 60s.

Early voting couldn't have been easier or more convenient. The voting place was not far from my house. We got there about 25 minutes early and were out in 10 minutes.
The parking at my usual polling place during Presidential elections is always a nightmare, and there is anywhere from a 45 minute to 1 hour wait almost always for the big elections.

And from the "Things I Wish My Parents Had Told Me And My Brothers Before Now" department: My mom is a diabetic, and has been taking metformin for a couple of years already. However, she's never owned a blood glucose meter. Hmmm... I may have to speak to her nurse about this. ???
*In better news, I also found out that my parents had not bought any of the plane tickets for our now-postponed family trip to the Philippines. From the wording of my Dad's "confirmation email", I thought everything had already been bought and paid for.

When I came in and got the groceries unpacked, I settled in for my work film of the afternoon - Kenji Mizoguchi's SISTERS OF THE GION. I liked it more than yesterday's OSAKA ELEGY, and even though the films were made in the same year, SISTERS engaged my attention much more than the one yesterday. The transfer was in better condition, too.

Here, too. The cats didn't like going to the vet in the rain, even though I covered them with towels as I carried them in.
We thought my big love cat might need surgery for the tear duct that has been blocked for over a month, and hasn't responded to antibiotics, but today the vet drained it with a needle and was very relieved that it did the trick. My kitty never stopped purring the whole time and afterwards rolled around on the table and nuzzled everyone. Elmo, the shy cat, stayed in the cradle of the scale with a blanket over him, hoping no one would notice that he was there. Everyone found them very entertaining.
I chatted with the vet tech, and he was the one who told me about Neal Hefti! (I'm way behind in the HHW world...)

We are very frustrated.
While in L.A. we got a parking ticket. Since the information sign for the meter was hidden behind a tree, and the next sign down had different hours, we tried to talk the guy out of the ticket. Not only did he refuse, he seems to have given us a second ticket for another parking meter. The city doesn't care that these tickets are in different 100 blocks & one minute apart. They say we have to pay the ticket & then request a hearing to get our money back.
I asked the guy on the phone if he really believes it is physically possible to get two parking tickets within one minute of each other in different locations. He said "I can't comment on that". Why should we trust the city to return the $45 if we pay it. The first review of the facts resulted in a letter stating insufficient evidence to dismiss our citation. ???

I had a fabulously fabulous lunch with Miss Susan Egan, and talked of many things, some of which could be a whole lot of fun.

I then came home and had our LACCTAA meeting, which was also fun - I've got some big plans for events for early next year - whether I can pull off one of them in particular will be interesting to see. If I do, let's just say it will put us on the map like nothing else.

DR Cilla, good luck with Weight Watchers.
Thanks Jane. I think I will. My real goal is to be in shape before I turn 50 which is 2 1/2 years from now. While I've tried to lose weight for others before or so I'd look better before this event or that event, I haven't just done it for me. I'm planning to go back to Curves again. There is a new one in my neighborhood and although I like walking and will continue that, I really miss the strength training. So, I think I'm going to join.

I've been at work all day and now I'm leaving now. I'll be working concessions for The Presidential Elections and the Future of the Middle East (http://www.washingtoncenter.org/calendar/calendar_detail.asp?event_id=1064) discussion at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts and I need to be there by 5:30 pm. It should be interesting. :)
Until later!

Nobody Gives A Damn, But TCB
Last night, Jane posted a link to a story of Millvina Dean, the last survivor of the Titanic sinking. This story was in regards to her selling off some items in the hope of staying in the nursing home where she has been living. Like Jrand, I hope that someone will come forward and pay a great deal more for the items so that she may remain where she is living for whatever time she has left.
Inclued with the story was this picture of Millvina Dean.
(http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u271/actr2000/MillvinaDeanandRoyalMajesty.jpg)
In the background is the ship Royal Majesty on which, according to the caption, Ms. Dean sailed out to the wreck site in August 1996. Since I was on that ship, I was confused because, although Ms Dean was at the dock when we arrived back in Boston, I did not remember her sailing out to the Titanic site with us on the Royal Majesty.
I did some research today, and, although she was at the dock in Boston, as I remembered, she was the only one of the then four suvivors who decided not to go to the site. She was at the dock for our arrival and the expected reception honoring the arrival of the "great piece" of the ship which broke free and sank back to the bottom of the ocean, the day before.
-
Other than being very tired, I am feeling better today.
-
DR TCB, I give a damn :)
Don't you feel better knowing you had the facts straight :D
-
Tee hee. Jane said "damn."
-
I am glad, also, TCB, that you remembered everything correctly. I have found that newspapers are frequently incorrect.
-
Tee hee. Jane said "damn."
;D Once in awhile I do, but never ever with the G word in front of it.
-
We don't get a newspaper anymore, which reminds me to check out our local paper online & see if there is anything worth reading.
-
There was something work reading, one of the local restaurants had a fire in the kitchen. :o
The restaurant was closed at the time but fortunately the fire trucks were already out & got there quickly, keeping damage to a minimum.
-
Is a 1 hour wait the norm in the US for federal elections?
Here there are so many places that having polling stations. And then when you get to your location there are a lot of individual stations depending on your address. I've never waited more than 5 minutes.
-
BK, i agree with DR jane re: jogging while you're sick. I think your body would heal better without all the strenuous activity.
But i'm actually amazed that you are able to jog at all. I know when i am even a little bit sick i have absolutely no energy to exercise like that.
-
Tee hee. Jane said "damn."
She only curses when she drinks. ;)
-
DR Jane re: your ticket. I'm not sure if it works the same way in the US. but could you send someone to go to the hearing on your behalf. Here, the police rarely show up and so if you contest it the charges are usually dropped.
-
The library left a message saying they had a book for me. Only they did not say which one (i hate when they do that).
I'm hoping that it's Stephenie Meyer's other book, The Host. Dr Singdaw (or anyone) have you read this?
I am currently on page 400-750 of the last Twilight book (Breaking Dawn). And i am on page 50-270 of the online 5th book Midnight Sun.
-
Vibes for Cilla ---- you can do it!!!
Thanks Vixmom, you're an inspiration! Happy Anniversary

Our local paper says that the polling places will have a dress code that will be enforced.

The parking ticket was given by a separate department then the police. I doubt the meter guy has to appear in court. I'm not exactly sure how the procedure would be in person, I can however contest it in writing. I don't think it is right that I can't contest it until I have paid for the ticket. If I win, then I get the money back. Since I don't trust I'll ever see my money again I'm not paying for it up front.

TCB, I definitely give a damn.If you only knew how into the Titanic I was a few years ago. I'm not talking just about the movie, although I was into that too. Right now I am readling "Titanic's Last Secrets....." http://www.amazon.com/Titanics-Last-Secrets-Adventures-Chatterton/dp/0446582050/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1224294143&sr=8-1 (http://www.amazon.com/Titanics-Last-Secrets-Adventures-Chatterton/dp/0446582050/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1224294143&sr=8-1) I am very very jealous (in a good way) that you got to go on that trip. I was so excited to see the Exhibition on one of it's first tours. I was in St. Paul the day after they tried the horn and it worked! I saw the "great piece" of the ship...or at least a big hunk of it, that I think they may have brought up after your trip. (Is that right?) I find everything you say about the trip fascinating. Thanks for sharing

Watching some old TV shows right now, about which more later.

'night
-
Hey TCB, you up for ice cream sometime?
-
td - Had dinner with Ann Miner and some other folks. Were your ears burning briefly around 7:05 pm?
BK - Ann couldn't imagine any reason that the "Back to Bacharach" press release wouldn't have been posted on All That Chat. Are you sure it was sent to them?
-
Good Evening!
So, it looks like tomorrow night's "Saturday Night Live" could be a quite a doozy. Sarah Palin is confirmed as a guest - the rumor is that she is going to play "Tina Fey". ;) -And Josh Brolin is the host - and he's currently starring in "W" as "W". Hmmm... Set your VCRs/DVRs now!
-
DR TCB, I give a damn :)
Don't you feel better knowing you had the facts straight :D
Thank you, Jane. Yes, I do.

Just got my first ever bile-spewing, death-threatening "fan" mail about one of my reviews. Ready for the punchline? It's in response to my review of the Alice Faye boxed set. I am LMAO.
-
I had a good visit with my Mom at the hospital. I do have to admit it was a little difficult watching her having to be helped around in her bed when the nurse came in to take her vitals. It was the first time I saw just how weak she is right now. And I could also tell that she was trying to "show off" for me when she was doing her breath test too.
I did get a chance to talk with her nurse, and her basic response was, "I know what you mean. I've had parents in the hospital too." ;) I asked a bunch of questions, and she gave me the same follow-up literature that she gave my Mom and Dad. Thankfully, my Dad was already committing to memory the dietary guidelines. :)

Yes, Cilla, although the piece dropped off back into the sea, they had a tracking device attached to it. That was important because it dropped off several miles from the orignal location. In August of 1998, RMS Titanic, Inc. went back to the site and raised the piece to the surface. Although I missed out on my chance to be photographed touching the piece, I did see it in the touring exhibition at the Seattle Science Center.
-
Hey TCB, you up for ice cream sometime?
Yeah, sure. I know I owe sunny boy an e-mail.
-
G'night!

I was also glad that my Dad took as long a "break" as he did. He had been there since this morning, and while he was down in the cafeteria, he was able to call his friends and relatives and give them updates.
My brother, Don, is coming down from Fairfax tomorrow morning, and I think we're going to do some "re-wiring" of the computer set-up here at the house. Right now, everything is upstairs, and I think we're going to move it all downstairs to make it easily accessible for my Mom. -And she wants us to set up a Skype account too. -Apparently, everyone "back home in the Philippines" is now Skype-ing.
-
In Oregon we vote by mail. It is most convenient.
-
DR Jose, if your mom is diabetic...well, you might want to be checking your blood sugar now and then as well.
-
I sounded just like Jose in that last post.
-
After I left the hospital, I headed over to Steve's... -After I finished crying (finally), we headed to Joe's Inn for dinner. I satisfied my craving for their Spaghetti a la Greek - baked spaghetti topped with feta, provolone and romano cheeses, and meat sauce, and Steve had one of the cheesiest Chicken Parmigiana's either of us had ever seen.
We were going to go to Bev's for dessert - more ice cream - but Steve mentioned that the small market across the street from Joe's Inn was now carrying baked goods and other treats from one of my favorite Richmond restauranteurs, Stella Dikos. :) And when I looked at the display case, I saw a lot of wonderful "memories": Greek Wedding Cookies, Greek Style Cheesecake, Pumpkin Cheesecake, Banana Pudding, etc. They were also selling some of her savories: tzatziki, house-cured olives, marinated fava beans, moussaka, pastitsio... However, what I was most pleased to see were the loaves of Stella's famous breads. Not only were they selling her amazing "table bread", but they also had loaves of her Apple & Black Walnut Cinnamon Streusel Bread.
Each Christmas, Stella would give me a loaf of that bread as a Christmas present, and I would also buy a couple extras to give to others or for parties. It's been four or five years since I've had the bread, and, well... I bought a loaf of it tonight to take back to New York, as well as a "muffin loaf" of it for tomorrow's breakfast. Alas, Stella was not there tonight, but they did have a little notebook where people could write messages for her. So, I did. :)

Interesting Frances Farmer news from DR JMK....a star for Frances.... Does she have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame or whatever that is?
Happiest of anniversaries to DR VIXMOM and VIXDAD.
DR CILLA LIZ - I will be interested to hear how the WW goes. As I wrote, my friend Jerry conducts the classes and they have a great success rate.
-
DR JOSE what a LOT of life you are having in all in ONE visit!
-
I want one Tonto Shirt and one Tonto brief. Two of each would be the height of extravagance.
-
I am shocked and appalled at the saga of DRJANE's tickets....kind of like DR VIXMOM's microwave.
-
DR Jose, if your mom is diabetic...well, you might want to be checking your blood sugar now and then as well.
Trust me, I'm way ahead of you on that one.
Oh, I do have a correction to make. When my Dad got back to the room, I asked him why my Mom was not using a blood glucose meter since she's a diabetic. He said that she has been using one, and is hoping to get a better one. I guess she's just been "hiding" it well. However, I have to say that with the contents of the fridge and pantry here, and just watching how and what my Mom eats whenever I'm down here for a visit, I never would have guessed that she was a diabetic. ???
...And since my Dad is a prostate cancer survivor, I have a bit of a laundry list of things to get checked for at my next physical.

Well I bought an HP Pavilion 6635 Computer and printer from EBAY on Wednesday. It is for use at work. Not much memory, but we just need it to load BookLog and run the cash register....
It arrived today!! And it works. I will be taking it to the store on Sunday, and my brother in law will try to load BookLog onto it....hopefully he won't crash and burn it.
Total for the entire system, with all cables, disks, and shipping: $51.......

Nice cool evening here now.
Tomorrow would usually be a work day for me, but I am not working, I have another task to accomplish.

What did you say about the Alice Faye box?
I evidently had the audacity of not thinking it was the greatest boxed set of all time. :)

FJL - maybe he screwed up, but I gave him all the online addresses, including Ann's specifically. I'll ask him.
-
DR JOSE what a LOT of life you are having in all in ONE visit!
<nod>
I had actually hoped to meet up with a couple of more friends, even see a show, but I'm glad that this past week has turned out the way it has. It's been both emotional and low-key at the same time.

I just got offered the MD position for The Producers at Portland's biggest musical company for next summer. Closing weekend is the Saturday of Gabe's Bar Mitzvah, so I need to work out some scheduling issues before I accept.
Ohh... Well, the reason I turned down that gig was to make sure that I could attend Gabe's Bar Mitzvah...

And on a related note... Pardon me for almost-getting political here for a moment, but...
During the second hour of today's "All Things Considered" on NPR, they had some "incredible" coverage of the current political climate in West Virginia. Well balanced, and it showed the good and bad of both sides of the issues and the aisle.
West Virginia Voters Wrestle With Race, Rumors (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=95837817)
*They also ran a wrap-up of the debate, and what it revealed about both candidates. Well worth a listen too.

Bk - FYI, Ann is in NYC (and therefore not at her home base) through Tuesday - so of course no big rush in getting the new release to her.

Just got my first ever bile-spewing, death-threatening "fan" mail about one of my reviews. Ready for the punchline? It's in response to my review of the Alice Faye boxed set. I am LMAO.
Wow! I can't begin to count the number of negative responses I've gotten to reviews over the decades. Yep, some threatened death or at least serious injury.
-
This is my friend John Cavins Baughman, Jr. Here he is in the Bahamas last winter. This is the photo he enclosed in last year's Christmas card.
I first met him in 1985 when he played Sir Joseph Porter KCB in a "young people's" production of HMS PINAFORE. He was so funny and a very nice guy and an audience favorite.
We did several shows together. He was Mr Applegate when I directed DAMN YANKEES and he was Boris Kolyenhoff the ballet instructor when I was Grandpa Vanderhoff in YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU. I was Froggy when he directed THE FOREIGNER....
He always came to see my shows even though he moved up to the big city of Indianapolis and moved on in his life.
Some emotional troubles - but we were always only a phone call or email away for each other.
-
I began my evening viewing with CINERAMA ADVENTURE. I very much enjoyed the documentary, seeing clips from all those wonderful Cinerama travelogues, and finding out the histories of some of the men responsible for its creation. I didn't know much of that.
-
Last Saturday, John C. Baughman, Jr. died at age 42 of complications of HIV.
Tomorrow I will be one of three people who speak at his memorial at Gobin United Methodist Church in Greencastle.
It never gets any easier. That's for sure.
-
Next I pulled PINOCCHIO off the shelf and watched it. I got the notice today about the Blu-ray release of the movie next March (and a new Platinum edition of the DVD, too), and it reminded me I hadn't seen it in a long time, so I watched it tonight. The color on that old DVD is very rich, but I could certainly see places where I'm sure there will be clean-up and repair. Even this old DVD had a Dolby Digital 4.0 audio track, but no mono track. That won't make folks happy today if they don't include the original mono along with any repurposed audio mix.

I'm very sorry for your loss, DR JRand. I've lost folks close to me, too, so I know what you're feeling.

I wasn't thrilled with tonight's GHOST WHISPERER episode. It was OK, but once again, Jim doesn't get to play any part in the story, and I'm just not digging Jaime Kennedy. Also, I'm really tired of these stories based on computer alternate realities. This is the third one I've seen on CBS.
-
LIFE had a good mystery at its core, but I can see why the show just isn't catching on with more viewers. What with him still trying to find her framed him and the story with Adam Arkin's rather uninteresting character, the show definitely seems scattershot in its storytelling.
-
DR Jane- Sounds like the cop was just a jerk knowing that you'd be leaving town and that it would probably not be worth your while to fight the tickets. I've never heard of fighting a ticket after you pay it. But then it is California...:)
-
Jack, I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your friend. When I saw your first post, I had thought it might have been some sort of "death notice", but since it was not mentioned... Then when I read your subsequent post...
I hope that amidst the tears, tomorrow's memorial service will be filled with many happy memories and even some laughs. Celebrate His Life.

I'm heading downstairs to bed now.
Good night!

Thank you DRs MATTH, CILLA LIZ, and JOSE....much appreciated. And yes when we get together to talk about John, there will inevitably be laughter.

Has Mr. Michael Shayne been here in the last two weeks?
Yes.

Maybe... I remember him posting under his "other name" recently.
-
OK... It's been a sort of long day today, and tomorrow will also be quite the "stretch", so...
Goodnight.
-
I remember he posted the first two days under the new name, but he certainly hasn't been back since - he's obviously missed out on Laurette, and knowing him as I do it's not going to make him happy.
