Mr Matt Munro singing "Born Free"
Okay, the first big question of the day: do i wash the winter bedding and put it away?
Just spoke with WFO - Joe's surgery was a success -
WFO has been given a knee brace which will allow him some movement in the broken knee. He hopes to be released sometime this week -we don't know how long Joe will be in as of yet
And the word of the day is: PECTINATE!
DR Jane, THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST is in at my library. They have 6 copies, all on hold. But i won't know until later if one is mine!

Good morning. I was a little dizzy when I got up this morning...ok, a lot dizzy, so I'm taking it easy. I got so involved in taking the wall paper off the entry way last night (inside the turret) that I forgot to eat dinner. I just ate a little and am feeling better. Think I'll go to the farmer's market and get some fresh food. I haven't been eating well lately and want to try to get back on track.
I'm also going to go get some paint color strip thingies so I can pick out my colors for the bathroom and the entry. I need to scrub the wall paper paste off the walls in there, but almost all the paper came right off the walls without water or chemicals, so it won't be a bad job at all. The area is small and other than two doors, there isn't anything to have to paint around, so it will go very fast once the prep is done

From what I can tell there will be 31 copies, if they ever arrive. I should call & ask.
DR Jane i've never heard of anyone making bagels. Are they very hard to make?

Dennis Hopper dies at 74; actor directed counterculture classic 'Easy Rider'
Hopper made his acting debut in 'Rebel Without a Cause' in 1955. He later descended into years of drug and alcohol abuse, but made a comeback in 1986 with his Oscar-nominated role in 'Hoosiers.'

Cilla, it sounds like your electrolytes are out of balance. Gatorade!
For ths being Fleet week, I am surprised to have seen not one sailor on the Upper West Side; usually they're all over the City and everywhere you look at this time of the year. My father's favorite New York tourist spot, the aircraft carrier The Intrepid, is having some festivities and a showing of the movie TOP GUN (oy!) so perhaps they're all hanging around that part of town.

Hasn't Monkey asked to go to Coney Island for the grand reopening of Luna Park?

I've been listening to recordings of my friends Joan Morris and Bill Bolcom this afternoon and I'm thoroughly outraged that several of my favorite albums have never been released on CD by Nonesuch or RCA. I really want to hear "These Charming People," their wonderful recording of duets with Max Morath. I cannot even find a cassette on Amazon, Abebooks, or eBay to buy for Anthony to transfer for me. Damn!

Hey, Larry, I just spoke to Anthony. We have These Charming People on LP and Anthony said he would transfer it for you. He's not sure exactly when he will have it done but rest assured that you will have a copy soon. You have been very generous to us over the years with books and CDs so this one will be payback to you.

Well I think your library is for a bigger area. Mine is just for one suburb of montreal. There is another library 10 minutes away in every direction.
But alas I was not one of the first 6. I called to check. And i am number 5 (after the first 6 go out - they are on hold). So i guess it will probably be around 2 weeks till i get it.

Salmon is in the oven and I'm about to add side dishes - fettucini alfredo and sugar snap peas - for our Saturday dinner.
DR Jane i've never heard of anyone making bagels. Are they very hard to make?
Not really. The difficult part is making them taste good. Have you baked bread before?

Okay, here's something that should upset fans of Film Noir:
Yesterday, I watched 2 movies: THE CRIMSON KIMONO and MURDER BY CONTRACT.
The direction for both of them was absolutely terrible. The scripts were boring and often didn't make sense.
So, why are these two films so revered?
For the record, my DH is eating some garden tomatoes and says they do not taste like rotten chicken.

No.
It is fairly easy. The hard part is kneading the bread.

Well, that is silly. You wouldn't make the bread if you didn't need it!
Thanks to DR JENNIFER and DR VIXMOM and DR TCB and DR MBARNUM and all DR's from yesterday and earlier today for their thoughts a prayers.
It is a difficult situation, and right now news is sparse.....but I am sure that my cousin and her family feel the strength of the patented HHW vibes.

I was mistaken. At long last, page six.
So, this high school (like some others I know) just watch whatever the latest video incarnation of a show is and copy it, right?

As for the Topic of the Day...

Hmmm...
As for the Topic of the Day...
Well...

Contemplating your own personal stash of it? Or just the container?

Got one big box o' stuff today - somewhat of a mother load of source material for potential upcoming Kritzerland projects.
Well, no one can say we didn't get to page four.
Someone on the film music board just posted this lovely thing about the new book:
I received my copy earlier this week, and it has been an absolutely enjoyable read. I blazed through it in two sittings and loved every sentence of it. Mr Kimmel tells us about his years as an actor-director-composer, through the struggles and successes and friendships along the way. It's a side of "Mr Kritzerland" that I think many film score collectors (myself included) don't know about.
It's written in very honest, unpretentious prose, and the passion he has for his craft (acting, writing and film-making) is genuine and palpable. It is filled with joys and triumphs as well as failures and mistakes (one line in which he talks about a particular film music label, "...if I'd invested my $2,500 back in 1978 I would be a millionaire", made me wince and go "Ouch!") I wouldn't hesitate to give this my strongest recommendation to anyone who's interested.

I don't know if it's the same thing (and I haven't looked it up), but one of my sister's favorite drinks is called a Fuzzy Navel.

A Fuzzy Navel is usually just Peach Schnapps and Orange Juice. Sometimes "extended" with some vodka.
