TOD: Somewhere in Portugal. I've been to the country twice now, and can't get enough. The lifestyle is quiet, unassuming and relaxed in a way that welcomes you without being overbearing. The seafood is the freshest you could ask for, and the cuisine is rustic yet full of flavor.
I put the finishing touches on a new magazine this morning that is set to come out in March. San Antonio Taste, a food and lifestyle publication that will appear quarterly -- if we get some subscribers and enough newsstand interest. It's quite exciting, if we can get the corrections made and the printing looks even better than the proofs. So, if there's such a thing as editing/printing vibes, please send them along.

Good morning!
Warmer this morning than it's been for quite a while, so the walk was non-taxing. The forecast had called for possibly more snow, but it was too warm for that, and it's been raining for the last half hour, very gingerly.
-
TOD:
I have two friends who just got back from a week in St. Croix, and that sounds marvelous to me. Anywhere to escape this snow and cold for a bit.
-
Today I get to a movie I've been looking forward to, one I've never seen before by one of America's most famous film directors: MAKE WAY FOR TOMORROW directed by Leo McCarey. Love all of the cast members (all character actors, not a Box Office star among them but plenty of stars to suit me) and I can't wait to finally get to see it.
The film's only a bit over 90 minutes, and the bonuses aren't plentiful either, so I should be able to complete it this afternoon unless lunch runs long.
-
Most of the networks are playing semi-dead tonight due to the Olympics. There is a new BACHELOR episode on ABC and a new '24' on Fox. DAMAGES, of course, has a new episode on FX.
Most everything else is either preempted due to the Olympics or a rerun (including CASTLE).
-
TOD: I live in Phoenix. It is spring. I don't want to go anywhere.
Ask me again in July.

I noticed from the TV listings that FROST/NIXON is finally making its pay cable appearance this Saturday on HBO, so that'll be another Oscar contender from 2008 I can cross off my list once I record it and watch it.
-
Unless some review material comes in this week, I will be done by mid-week. I have the SHAW ON FILM set of three movies and the DVD release of HOWARDS END (which I've already reviewed on Blu-ray), and that's all that's here. Could I be looking at a potential run of days off near the end of the week? That would be GREAT!

Just a tip if you're curious about Blu-ray. Amazon today has a combo VHS/Blu-ray machine on sale for $140. It's a Panasonic which is a company which supports its products with firmware upgrades when needed. Of course, being Blu-ray means it also plays regular DVDs too, so this is a unit that plays tapes, DVDs and Blu-rays all in one unit. And for a steal of a price.

The Hollywood Video site has a lot of PV DVD's and a few BluRays on sale. Free shipping, and the code 25PV will get you an additional 25% off....
HOWEVER after you place your order (create an account first) - if you get a page that says WHOOPS TRY AGAIN....don't try again...wait a few minutes and check your account to see if the order is processing.
I tried twice more and then got three orders processing.....the charges are pending and NO RESPONSE to an email, so if I don't hear from them today, when the charges post, I will have to dispute two of them.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.......year of the Tiger!

That code is 25 PV without the space....it looks like an 'S' in my post above.

re: the discussion of toffee on the snow yesterday.
I've never seen anyone do it themselves. I've always either had it when we went sugaring off. Or at carnivals or things like that.
But I would imagine that you could probably boil real maple syrup, drop it on clean snow and then you take a popsicle stick and twirl the syrup on it (that is how it is served). It is really good. One of my favorite things.

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I did not have oatmeal for breakfast this morning. -However, I may have a small bowl later.

re: the olympics last night
I know they made a big deal about it on NBC. But last night was one of the most thrilling moments for Canadians.
I'm talking about the men's moguls. That was the first gold medal EVER for a Canadian for an Olympics held in Canada.
I thought it was thrilling to watch (especially after the disappointment the day before in women's moguls).

The Chocolate-Zucchini Cake from City Bakery - Soooooo Good!

On TAR - I like the Cowboys.
Yes I think they (Jet and Cord) will be quite entertaining...but who named them? Henry Willson?
I was shocked at how well Jeff and Jordan did. I hope they last a while, as I certainly enjoyed them on BIG BROTHER. And Jeff is certainly nice to look at.
I also am rooting for the Grandmother and her grand-daughter.
The brothers I could do without...if I hear "Snap!" one more time I will have to through a shoe at the TV.

I think many DRs will be interested in this new DVD release of BELL TELEPHONE HOUR (1960 to 1966), featuring Broadway's leading ladies plus Keith Andes, Patrick Cassidy, Gordon MaCrae, and others.

I didn't watch THE AMAZIN' RACE last night because of the Olympics. But it's early in the game and I'm not too concerned about reading spoilers.
I'll probably like the Cowboys, too. Especially if they're dumb....
-
That is my thought as well, DR derBrucer - about Bayh.....he has been in the Clintons' pockets since BEFORE he was elected to the senate - and his father is a long time bleeding heart liberal who catered to no one but the lobbyists and couldn't get his wife to even visit Indiana once they moved to Washington......

Well they were going to Santiago Chile - so they traded their dollars at the airport for Brazilian currency.

Unlike the rest of the world, which has the day off, I am spending my first day at my new place of employment in Conshohocken, PA. It took me only twenty minutes to get to my office in Philly via a car drive--it took me over an hour to get here by a car drive and two train rides... :-\

My pre-therapy meal is just a small container of yogurt which I like to eat at noon with my pain pill.
I zipped through my home exercises. I should have held the counts longer, on the upside I was fast & strong. James, the wonderful therapist, will be holding the counts very long in just a short while.
I'm a bit nervous about PT today as I reduced my med from 1 pill to half a pill. I have a suspicion the pain level will be the same, only one way to find out.

It turned into a beautiful day (though still cold). The rain from this morning was gone by the time I got back from lunch.

Before I headed out to lunch, I had time to watch last Thursday night's THE OFFICE. A very entertaining and funny episode.
Kathy Bates was simply wonderful on the show; I wish she'd be a recurring character. She mixed in very well with the regulars.

When I got in, I sat down and watched my work project for the day: MAKE WAY FOR TOMORROW. What an interesting film, especially for an America still in the depression. No wonder it wasn't a popular success!
Surprisingly, though I had a lump in my throat, I didn't cry. I think I didn't because I wanted to punch out every one of those children. Oh, I understand the hardships and that they were barely making ends meet as it was, but they didn't have to be so COLD and so dismissive.
But that last half hour - how idyllic! Then, it hits you that it's kind of like the last meal before an execution.
-
There were only two bonus features on the disc: interviews with Peter Bogdanovich (who does try to mimic Orson Welles early on but later on doesn't try) and critic Gary Giddins.
I got all of those watched, too, with time to spare.
-
Then I skimmed through ONE LIFE TO LIVE. Yes, my guy was on and was once again the most level-headed and clear-thinking of the guys, a hero once again. Loved it, but the rest was beyond tedious.
-
But tedious is the kindest thing you can say about AS THE WORLD TURNS. Dr. Pill was on, trying to play the game a little bit more but still obnoxious and irritating.
-
And I ended my afternoon watching Friday night's SPARTACUS. Very graphic episode, more violent than any previous, and I think maybe I'm done with the show. I'll continue to read the recaps to see if I'm missing anything of interest, but this level of bloodthirsty mayhem just gets old after a while.
-
So, that leaves me with the evening free (well, until '24' comes on). I may go ahead and watch MAJOR BARBARA tonight to get it out of the way. Then I can watch the other two G. B. Shaw movies tomorrow and be done with that box set.
-
OK, I got my afternoon surf finished, so I need to hop off-line now and get some writing done.
WBBL.

I put the finishing touches on a new magazine this morning that is set to come out in March. San Antonio Taste, a food and lifestyle publication that will appear quarterly -- if we get some subscribers and enough newsstand interest. It's quite exciting, if we can get the corrections made and the printing looks even better than the proofs. So, if there's such a thing as editing/printing vibes, please send them along.
~~~Successful Magazine Vibes for DR John G.!!~~~
Have you thought about contacting your local libraries to see if they might want (potentially multiple) subscriptions?

WOW!!
Check out the photo credit!?!?!? :)

What about "milk and cookies for all the children of the world"?
...and World Peace!

Greetings from Amherst! I am on the Hampton Inn computer after a day at the library at Amherst College. I finished my research by noon, but my friend Joseph, who's going through all the George M Cohan scores was busy copyting orchestra parts until 3:45. Tomorrow morning we will check out, go back to the library and he will finish his copying. I will take my work on WIZARD OF OZ and work on it.
Today, while he was copying, I explored the campus, found a student computer location and dealt with 130 emails. Then I spent some time in the music library looking at scores and books. Tonight I will try to finish my Broadway Fights AIDS chart so I can begin copying it on Wednesday morning.
We need travel vibes tomorrow because we may be driving back through a lot of snow. So, please keep them vibes coming!
Speaking of vibes:

Jane, unless I am missing something, my Groups are nowhere under my avatar pic on FB. I did find them on Info per Jose's recommendation.
Keith is a wizard. But you knew that already. :)
(For you DR's who may not know, Keith has been able to track down an incredible amount of information on my father's family. My father was orphaned at an early age and always refused to discuss his childhood and Keith has really helped to fill in some missing bits).
-
Got up to page 370, but from here on out, it gets a little more complicated. I still haven't decided whether to add two little things in two earlier sections (both having to do with the same show), so I'll continue to think on that. But I've got some major moving of stuff around coming up and then the major restructuring and cutting of the final chapter.

He is sending you a photo of your grandmother's grave, along with an explanation. When you see the photo you will understand why an explanation is needed.

And I am doing A Happy Dance right now since I just found out a dear, dear friend of mine is flying in tonight from Chicago for a last-minute work meeting - which is not until tomorrow morning. So, I'll get to see him for a bit tonight... After some Vietnamese Cinnamon Hot Chocolate... And some great Chinese food... :) :) :) :) :)
Just a question, Jose. Do you ever eat what I would call normal Chinese food?

TRAVEL VIBES TO ELMORE AND JOSEPH!

SAFE TRAVEL VIBES FOR ELMORE AND HIS DRIVER JOSEPH!

I'm beginning to get nervous. While I continue to get stronger, the mobility in my shoulder is not improving. This is the second visit now that my therapist has not been able to stretch my arm farther. I will be very unhappy if this is all the mobility I will have. The therapist said sometimes this happens for a couple of weeks & then it begins to stretch again.
-
I watched a very interesting sport (Olympics). It's called snowboarding cross, where 4 snowboarders race each other at a time. Very excting. I have never seen this sport before.
-
Over Valentine's Day I got to sample some new (and some new to me) flavors of Hershey's kisses.
One was caramel, which i have tried before and which i like very much (caramel inside with chocolate over it).
A new one was cherry (i have not seen this one here before). It's basically a cherry cream filling. Not bad.
Also i had hugs (white and chocolate over a chocolate inside). I wish they would put a white chocolate inside.
The best one, and one i've never seen or tried was cookies and cream. It is basically like the cookies n' cream chocolate bar (white chocolate with oreo cookie bits). Very yummy!
-
I am going to watch the pairs finals later (figure skating). And now i'm watching the men's 500m long track speed skating finals. I have my fingers crossed for Canadian Jeremy Witherspoon.
-
Also, I don't rate an office in this new place--I'm in a cube. My computer screen is also rather exposed, so I have to be careful of my internet usage. Until I'm feeling a little more secure, my daytime posting might be on the limited side...
Good idea even if you will be missed.
Condolences on the new situation & vibes you quickly settle in. At least the ride is lovely. Are you able to read on a train?
I didn't read today but I do plan on doing so when I begin my routine. But because of some computer issues we will be going back to the Philly office for the next three days. My commute to "Conshy" won't be regular until the week after next.

re: the olympics last night
I know they made a big deal about it on NBC. But last night was one of the most thrilling moments for Canadians.
I'm talking about the men's moguls. That was the first gold medal EVER for a Canadian for an Olympics held in Canada.
I thought it was thrilling to watch (especially after the disappointment the day before in women's moguls).
I was jumping up and down cheering for him, well, as much as one can jump up and down while seated in a recliner..Congrats Canada
-
If I could go anywhere right this minute, I'd go to the Olympics in Vancouver

What a great answer, DR Cillaliz - I'll meet you there!
Actually, it meets my qualification, too, as a place where it's not snowing :-\

DR Jose - you asked last night about the Library Hotel. I've looked into it, but it's pretty pricey. In fact, when ALA was last in NYC, there was a lot of discussion in the library world about how real librarians probably can't afford to stay there!
You should call and ask if they have a discount for retired librarians
-

Actually you see more on TV, most likely, but I really want to go to the winter olympics some day.
-
One of the US pairs men....can't think of his name at the moment....is the nephew of a Sioux City Cop
-
Bode Miller reminds us of our nephew Christopher, who's a search and rescue helicopter pilot in the Air Force.
-
I accidentally saw the results earlier today, but I'm still enjoying watching
-
Today I went to the office this morning and had a very nice day. I did lots of odds and ends before really focusing and completing the motion and brief that's due tomorrow and has been weighing on my mind for weeks. I was there until almost 5:00 PM, but I left feeling about 15 pounds lighter just getting the worry off my back

Boo thinks the horn at the start of the downhill is a car outside. She keeps jumping up to see who it is

Hello, everyone.

KEEP WARM & DRY VIBES TO ALL DRS IN THE MIDWEST AND EAST!
-
I "talked" to Singdaw today (via email) and he is doing well and likes his new part-time job. I told him he is sorely missed.
-
One thing I love about this Olympics is the number of athletes who are in their late 20s and 30s who are doing great and even medaling.
-
DR Jennifer, I'm jealous at the amount of coverage you can see there
-
TOD:
Well, I'm quite happy to stay in one place for a while. I have little interest in traveling after all I did this past year.

Mark Ladwig is the skater I was talking about

Travel Vibes to Elmore and Joseph~~~~~~~ If it looks really bad - don't take chances!!

I love watching figure skating. I can't remember a year when the pairs were all this good. Maybe I just don't remember it, but man they all seem to be good this year
-
Travel Vibes to Elmore and Joseph~~~~~~~ If it looks really bad - don't take chances!!
Ditto~~~~~~~~~and Ditto!
-
More travel vibes for Elmore.
-
I was hoping that our one and only Canadian station (from Vancouver) might be able to give me an update on the figure skating before I head off to bed. Unfotunately, they are showing CORONATION STREET instead.
-
I had planned to watch last nights pairs competition tonight, only I have been busy working on insurance.
-
Back from a lovelier than lovely early dinner at Nate 'n' Al's. I shall now go watch a motion picture on Blu and Ray.
-
Many good travel thoughts to DR Elmore....
-
Since I had the time and had never seen it before, I went ahead and watched MAJOR BARBARA tonight. My lord, what a cast of British stars and soon-to-be-stars and famous character actors. Ways down the cast list there's Stanley Holloway a decade and a half before he and Rex Harrison (also in the film) would work together on MY FAIR LADY.
And Robert Newton was SEXY. Couldn't believe my eyes. And Emlyn Williams and Deborah Kerr in her movie debut in a small part. And even with people you may not know by name, you knew their faces. How grand.
Movie was very enjoyable, I thought. Maybe a little long. That tour of the factory and adjacent village could certainly have been shortened.
-
Next I watched a cartoon series which had been recommended to me - ARCHER. I didn't much care for it.
-
With the men's figure skating beginning tomorrow night, I went ahead and rewatched the national championship finals again. OK, I have their routines set in my head. It'll be interesting to compare what they do in the Olympics to what they did at Nationals.
-
And I concluded my evening with '24.' More great action and excitement, much more in the realm of '24' from previous seasons. Really Enjoyed tonight's show.
-
Well, I think I'll head down to bed and write up MAJOR BARBARA tomorrow morning. I'm just too tired tonight to think any more.
Good night!
-
Any one know of where I can find replacement costs for Irish trad sheet music....
Most of my books are from Ireland and Britain...
I have not had a lot of fun since Thursday night when the Bongo boys punctured a water pipe to cleen out the pot that they ceremoniously plugged...
and Yes, part of my apartment was swamped. I was using rubbermaid tubs and towels to stemm the water from spreading into the rest of the apartment. I am not amused with Bongo boys. It is not the first time they have been busted for Pot....
-
Aside from that DH did treat me to a nice supper on Saturday. ...
I have been busy with getting ready for the conferences I am attending in april in Cincinnati.
-
I am hoping something good happens... Granted a few thigns have since the first of the year but there has been a lot of set backs.
-
I tried to watch Lola Montes on Blu and Ray but kept falling asleep. Tomorrow night, methinks.
-
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your stuff, DakotaCelt. I hope they step up and take responsibility.

Try SheetMusicService.com.
And I know this probably won't make you feel better, but it gave me a huge laugh on Sunday. One of the very oldest members of the congregation I play for came up and asked me if I had heard about the "Drama" they were experiencing at her retirement home. When I told her no, she informed me that a couple had moved in next door to her that was smoking huge amounts of pot, filling the halls with smoke. "At least it's taken our minds off our gall bladders," she said, without missing a beat. :)
-
Travel Vibes to Elmore....
-
JMK, thanks for the laugh....
I did check the site but they do not have one of the peices due to it being out of print. The other is presently out of stock. Hopefully it is just out of print, temporarily. I have found copies of the Long Black Veil release for as much as 76 American dollars...
-
There's always eBay for out of print music.
-
Good Evening!
It was another very good day. Quite wonderful, in fact. :)
-
As for the Vietnamese Cinnamon Hot Chocolate...
Yes, I could tell it tasted different from the Chinese Cinnamon Hot Chocolate last week.
::)
-
I enjoyed the Olympics tonight and was pleased with the results.
-
I bought some hazelnut hot chocolate mix. Not even a good substitute for the wonderful flavors Jose experiences, but for me it's going out on a limb ;)
-
As for tonight's Chinese culinary adventure out in Flushing, Queens...
WOW! We tried something called "Muslim Lamb Chops" on the menu, and it was a true taste sensation! All of us at the table literally made noises of delight as we bit into the pieces of lamb encrusted with cumin and sesame seeds. -And the rest of the meal was quite tasted too.
-
I recorded the Westminster dog show tonight. I don't know how I'm going to avoid seeing the winner before I have a chance to watch, but I'll try
-
And another Twitter-friend joined us tonight. Not only did she speak Chinese - which made ordering quite easy tonight - but she also brought three bottles of fine champagne with her: a blanc de blancs, a rosé and a Brut. She "does wine" for a living, and had received the bottles as part of a promo. :)
-
As for the Vietnamese Cinnamon Hot Chocolate...
Yes, I could tell it tasted different from the Chinese Cinnamon Hot Chocolate last week.
::)
that sounds good...
-
And then my friend, David, met us out at the restaurant in time for dessert. He flew in LGA, and then had to make an emergency trip to Macy's to buy some shoes, and since he was two blocks away from the restaurant, well...
After dinner, we cabbed back into the city, and then spent about hour at his hotel catching up on each other's lives. A perfect way to cap the evening and the day.
-
And since I have an all-day audition session tomorrow (and Wednesday)....
-
~~~~~SAFE TRAVEL VIBES TO DR ELMORE AND JOSEPH~~~~~
-
DR Dakota Celt - Sorry to hear about your neighbor-induced(?) water damages woes. I hope your building's management is able to help you out in some sort of capacity.
As for replacing your sheet music, as DR JMK mentioned check on e-Bay. I know an antique sheet music dealer in Richmond, and I'll try to pass on her contact info to you later.
-
DR Jane - Patience ~~~~~ Patience ~~~~~~ Patience.
-
Thanks Jose...
I play bodhran and whistle. It is an escape for me...
-
Positive thoughts Jane...
-
The Landlord is not happy with them. They tried to tell the landlord the pipes froze. Very odd since Ice would force out and the pipe had an inward puncture mark.
-
DR George - What typo? The capital "I" instead of the lower-case "i"? -Or has something been corrected in the meantime?...
Oh... After enlarging the print, "l" see it now. ;)
-
DR TCB - Yes, I do eat "regular Chinese food" every now and then. Golden Empire Takeout is two blocks from me. I usually call the order in, and by the time I walk there, it's ready for pick-up.
-
Hi
HAPPY DAYS TO EVERYONE
AND LOTS AND LOTS OF HAPPY VIBES
:)
-
And now I really do need to log off, shut down and start slowing down my brain. I have a feeling my 8:00am alarm is going to be a bit "rough".
Goodnight.
-
I think there is a light at the end of the tunnel slowly moving this way and I might just see it at the end of the month.
But all the things I own seem to be multiplying as I'm packing. Where does it all come from.
One day soon I will be able to actually sit down and read the posts again. Right now I have not even had the time or energy to read bk's. Sorry bk.
-
Loved Elmer Gantry. Listened to the cd all weekend.
-
Night everyone.
Sleep tight.
:)
-
Jose - Have you already done a list of what the younger folk are singing at auditions these days?
-
DR George - What typo? The capital "I" instead of the lower-case "i"? -Or has something been corrected in the meantime?...
Oh... After enlarging the print, "l" see it now. ;)
Yes, they have it as JoseSPLano. They've got some SPLano to do!
;)
