Well, you've read the notes, you are aware that the notes were cut and dried, and now it is time for you to post until the cut and dried cows come home, so to it, baby, to it.
-
And the word of the day is: SPORE!
-
For those who may have missed it - yesterday was our fifth highest posting day since this board was birthed.
And now - Dino at the piano.
-
Any berry flavoured ice creams. Least favourite is coffee. (I've not been game to try licorice).
-
I also like "Rum and Raison" and "Plum Pudding" (aka as "Christmas Pudding").
-
It's only about 9:30 here in Hawaii... I'm about to head for bed - ten days here, and I am still sorta on West Coast time. anyhow, see yall tomorrow. Nighty nite-
-
I do not wish to try beri-beri ice-cream.
-
Oreo cookie (or "cookies and cream") ice cream is one of my favorites. Schwann's (a home delivery food company) has a chocolate fudge brownie ice cream that's to die for! My sister loves peach ice cream (I certainly do like it, but it's not a favorite). Banana shakes (with real bananas and real ice cream) is my favorite ice cream shake. A place in Tumwater (a couple of blocks where I live) makes shakes and I always get a chocolate/peanut butter shake. The best! ;D
-
I just had some coconut custard ice cream made locally. Mmmmmm
-
Tomorrow we are going to visit some friends of OzDerek. The sister of one of the friends has an ice-cream shop in the town. I am hoping for a warm day!!
-
Hi, George. Hi, Oz!
-
I've had coconut ice cream...it was very, very, very (that's three verys) good. I don't remember the brand, though. My sister got it at a grocery store, but it wasn't Ben & Jerry's or Breyer's.
-
HiO, PennyO! ;D
-
Bye, George. Bye, Oz! (Sheesh, what time must it be in Oz?)
-
Feels like about a hundred o'clock right now... gotta hit the rack. More tomorrow, guys.
-
Hi Penny. Coconut and Pineapple Ice-cream sounds very Hawaii - with macadamia nuts. (the native nut of OZ)
-
5.50pm Saturday in Oz DR Penny O.
-
My friend Margo just spent a week in Hawaii, last month. She had used all of her vacation time and had to use "leave without pay," but she said that it was totally worth it She took all three of her kids and met some friends there. I don't remember which island that they were on, but I'm pretty sure that wherever they were, they stayed there. They didn't island-hop.
-
'Night, Penny!
-
Well, after last night's co-frenzy with Tomovoz just a few minutes ago, I'm hittin' the hay (but without Tom ;)). Goodnight, Tom and BK and the previously good-nighted Penny!
-
Hello DR JRand55. Another person who has spent recent time on an island in the sun. (Someone reads your posts).
-
Hello
-
Sounds sort of like Media Play which opened two BIG stores in Indy about ten years ago.....and closed up after about two years! They had cds, magazines, books, and DVD's. GONE GONE GONE.
-
Back when I weighed over 230 pounds and didn't care, my favorite ice cream was Breyer's Butter Pecan! Now I don't eat ice cream.
I do like my freeze pops. And yes Drumsticks are also very good. Haven't had one in a long time. They are also sometimes called Nutty Buddies.
I also like Butterscotch - hmmmm.....ice cream squares with vanilla ice cream and a butterscotch shell. Can't remember the name. But now I want one.
-
"Gone Gone Gone" an Everly Brothers reference.
-
LOL.....so I found out, DR TomovOZ. And I think that DRMBARNUM paid full price to see BEYOND THE SEA and liked it very much as well....I think he even bought the Kevin Spacey CD of the soundtrack.
-
No trivia contest....means no headache this weekend! LOL. :)
I am very happy to have a completely FREE weekend with nothing to do....and so that is what I am going to do: NOTHING. Not as exciting as doing nothing in NYC or Hawaii or LA....but fun.
Watched the PBS documentary about ABBA tonight. Very nice. They also showed a bit of the London opening of MAMMA MIA!
-
Well that's all I know. That is ALL I know. So I will be heading out. Hoping to reach the new plateau tomorrow. I know we can do it.
We haven't seen nearly ALL the photos taken in NYC, I know we haven't!
-
Bye Bye Love.
-
I can recommend the movie "Comfort and Joy" as a suitable link to TOTD.
-
Guess you'll "Walk Right Back" later JRand. If there are no "Problems".
Always thought "The Girl Who Sang the Blues" was a very under-rated song by the Everly Brothers.
-
I guess I'll toddle off to the bedroom environment, as she of the Evil Eye gets here earlier and earlier every week.
But we have quite a good start on the posts, so maybe we'll have achieved our new plateau by the time of my returning.
-
Me want ice cream.
-
I'm up! I'm up! Well folks, today ends my NYC adventure. I've had a wonderful, wonderful time thanks to all of the DR's both local and the ones who came in for the gathering.
We WILL have to do this again!
I'm trying to watch the weather--the first time I've turned the TV on in this hotel room in the whole week! Looks like I might have a rough trip back home. Lots of rain!
I may not post again until I get to the airport (if I can) as I have to give the room up by noon. I'm going to finish packing and be off to Breakfast!
I may not post when I get home as it will be very late at night but I will try.
Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart.
-
Good morning, all! I meet DRDanise in another hour or so for breakfast and then head down to the recording office for some work. It's a warm and very humid day, since it's raining, and I'm feeling like an extra in a revival of RAIN.
I am amazed at the number of posts yesterday.
DR td, I'd love to hear more of your colorful encounters with naked cowboys but DRCillaliz is my first acquaintance to actually encounter Times Square's one and only Naked Cowboy.
I have to call DRJose and see if I can drag him out of bed. I hope he's back at his apartment by now.
-
The word of the day is Spore? May i assume this is in honor of my trip today to see the wonderful Heather Spore in UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG? (That would be a little self-absorbed on my part, but it's a nice coincidence.)
In honor of the word of the day, as well as the rainy weather in NY, here's a link to some pictures of Heather Spore (who was the luminous Miss July and many other roles in LAST STARFIGHTER), as well as Dearest Friend Maureen Silliman [plus this Guy Max Von Essen, whom I've never met, but whose perfromances I've always enjoyed] in the Two River production of UMBRELLAS:

DRFJL, thanks for the photos. I've known Max since 1999, and he has a wonderful voice. My last encounter with him in London was a bit bizarre, however, and I will be charitable and blame it on the events of 9/11 and Maestro McGlinn.
-
He shoots! He spores!
-
TOD: Ben&Jerry's Karamel Sutra. I forgot to buy some for my birthday last month. Oh well, next year.
Today, while the cat is away, the mouse will play. The controlling person who tells me I can't put anything in my office yet hauls boxes of stuff in my office himself, is out of town. I shall paint while he's not here to tell me I can't.
-
Larry and Danise, enjoy your breakfast. I'm not at work today since we have Columbus day off. They decided we didn't need to work today also.
I have to go shopping for a present for a dear friend's 50th birthday; The party is this evening. I'm meeting another friend at noon to go DVD shopping. Our friend's wife said that George has decided that he wants to collect the DVD of each Academy Award winning Best Picture. He (George) has none of them, so David and I will begin his collection with 1955, 1965, 1975 and 1985 (Marty, Sound of Music, Cuckoo's Nest and Out of Africa).
It's a dreary, rainy day and is predicted to be dreary and rainy for the rest of the week, not just the weekend. Spoo!
-
Good morning!
Another icky wet day here (three in a row) with fitful rain and humidity that makes things clammy and yucky. And the forecasters are saying we're going back into the 80s mid-week!
Argh!
-
I have not yet caught up with BEYOND THE SEA, but I want to as I love Bobby Darin and will be interested to see for myself what Mr. Spacey has wrought. I have read so many conflicting opinions on the movie, so I'm anxious to see it for myself.
I suspect it will be on one of the pay-movie channels, however, rather than on DVD.
-
I have to add that I really did not like DE-LOVELY at all, so that's why I am a bit wary about BEYOND THE SEA.
-
Favorite ice cream: all chocolate, all the time!
Right now, I have about half a container of Healthy Choice Chocolate Chocolate Chip to finsh, and then I have Edy's Triple Chocolate waiting for me.
-
I like Drumsticks a lot, but I haven't had one in quite awhile. The grocery stores around here don't ever seem to put them on special, and I just won't pay that when I can enjoy the other brands which ARE on sale just as much.
-
All alone, I'm so all alone . . . .
-
To our intrepid New Yorkers:
here's something to give to the terrorists:

All alone, I'm so all alone . . . .
Surely there must be someone you can invite over to help dust?

How about:
-
Sorry, Matt, I'm sure you want the wide-screen version;
-
DR Danise have a safe trip home!
You know, the ladies of HHW are the best! Vixmom, TPunk, Danise, Cillaliz, Jane, Danise, Ginny and of course the Vixter, were all so much fun to hang out with! Wonderful, wonderful gals, each and every one of them! I miss you guys already!
And the HHW guys were pretty darn neat to! :D
-
DR JRand55 is correct, I did pay to see, and mostly enjoyed BEYOND THE SEA. Kevin Spacey is a wonderful singer and I do need to pick up that CD.
The only thing about the movie that I did not care for was the foul language...there was just no need for it.
-
Well, a busy day today and I best get started on it.
-
Good morning Der Brucer, Rodzinski, and Jason. The board is yours...make BK proud.
-
I'm waiting to hear if Jason enjoyed "HONK!".
This is one of the best family shows in a long time.
Any theatre group that does this show, and has a success, can follow up with "A Day With Frog and Toad" - which has an even better score.
der Brucer
-
You're up early on a Saturday MBarnum!
-
"Gone Gone Gone" an Everly Brothers reference.
Also a reference to one-hit wonder Canadian band Chilliwack?
-
Lately I have been enjoying cake batter-flavored ice cream from a shop nearby my homestead.
-
Sorry, Matt, I'm sure you want the wide-screen version;
Ah yes. You know me too well!
-
Does Dairy Queen still make the Buster Bar? I've been craving one. Of course, I don't know where the nearest Dairy Queen is. New Jersey somewhere, I guess.
-
PS: While searching for Buster Bar info online, I found a site called complaints.com where one can go and lodge a complaint about anything. Other folks can then do a search and see if people have had the same complaints as them. Or businesses can do a search and read complaints about them. Interesting.
(Someone in Ohio in 2002 was lamenting the shrinking size of DQ buster bars)
-
DR td, I'd love to hear more of your colorful encounters with naked cowboys but DRCillaliz is my first acquaintance to actually encounter Times Square's one and only Naked Cowboy.
Ah, but Larry, this is a family site. (cue Sister Sledge).
TOTD:
Barbara Cook's VANILLA ICE CREAM. :P
I loathed and despised BEYOND THE SEA, I agree with MBarnum about the language, something I think writers who cannot write use as a crutch. I could go on and on about how misguided and misdirected I thought Mr. Spacey and the whole film were, but, let's just say that immediately after the movie was over I watched a great musical film entitled LES DEMOISELLES DE ROCHEFORT.
On the other hand, listening to the cd of BEYOND THE SEA is one hundred times better than actually seeing the film.
IMHO

A hearty thank-you to DR Rodzinski for the NYC mementos:

Splendid Playbill glasses (filled with Amontillado on the rocks).

Fact learned from the chapter I read today in THE MAN WHO INVENTED ROCK HUDSON:
Rock was turned down not once but twice by MGM's head of talent acquisition. She later regretted the decision after he became a huge superstar, but she said MGM was homophobic in casting potential stars and never even seriously considered him.
-
My copy of BROADWAY LOST TREASURES III came yesterday, so my houseguest and I are looking forward to watching that this afternoon.
-
And tonight we will be attending OLIVER!
Thus, I will be E&T for a goodly amount of time this afternoon and evening.
-
I'm up, I'm up. Very overcast here in the City of Studio. I feel confident that we shall achieve our new exceptional plateau this very day, perhaps whilst I am out this morning.
-
Good Morning!
Ah, yes, it is a rainy day here in NYC, but we were due for some rain - and in need of it too. So, it was a perfect day for sleeping in...
My apologies to DR Danise and elmore for missing breakfast this morning. I had to be up "early" to sign for another FedEx package - which actually came this morning - but then I sat back down on my bed, and the next thing I knew it was 11:30... -And I still had my cell phone's ringer off from the movie last night, so I didn't hear Danise calling me... But I did just speak with both of them... So..
DR Danise - I hope you have a wonderful afternoon in NYC before heading back home. -And it wouldn't be a day in NYC withouth some rain. And Safe travels.
-
RE: The Naked Cowboy - Whenever I've seen him on the streets, he's usually just posing for tips and/or just the attention. But I could be wrong.
And I'm sure if someone started Googling, he must have a website by now.
-
Rainy and foggy in the NW, too. Perfect day for listening to Celtic music, so I began with Alan Stivell and am now listening to some celtic harpist whose name I can't recall. :(
I am a cut-and-dried chocolate fan. I really like chocolate ice cream with nuts, preferably almonds, though walnuts will do in a pinch.
-
Topic of the Day - Anything Chocolate. And I'm also a big fan of mix-ins: almonds, marshmallows, fudge swirl, chocolate chips, espresso beans, etc. The chunkier, the better.
However, there are those times when just plain ole vanilla will do, preferably Breyer's.
And then there's gelato - especially hazelnut, strawberry, amaretto and coconut.
Drumsticks, Klondike Bars (chocolate-chocolate, almond crunch), Chocolate Eclairs, Strawberry Eclairs, Fudgesicles, Dreamsicles, etc., etc., etc...
-
Tomovoz: Glad you like Stillness. It's a very atypical album for Sergio, a lot of people hate it with a passion, but I've loved it for close to 25 years (oy). I made a mistake in my letter--it was "For What It's Worth" that was the hit off the album (though "Chelsea Morning" did get quite a bit of AC airplay). If you ever get a chance to pick up the 45 version of "For What It's Worth," get it--it's radically different than the album version, something quite unusual for those days. Lani had done some comping tracks, but the 45 version is pretty much all Karen all the time with a much different instrumental mix.
PennyO: I've been E&T lately--are you performing in Hawaii? Are you on the big island? I can send out invites to people if you're there to come see your show.
-

There are quite a few. One said he makes $1000 a day posing in Times Square!
-
Well... Time for me to get cleaned up, and head down to SoHo. I got me some shopping to do!
*Thank you again to everyone on the Walking and Eating Tour for my "hostess gift". I've had this list of gadgets and smaller items I've been wanting to add to my kitchen arsensal, and I believe I should be fully stocked after this afternoon. *Don't worry, I'll take pics!
:)
OK.
Laters...
-
I do not like walnuts, in a pinch or otherwise. They skeeve me.
-
I suppose I shall have to be on my way to the storage facility now, before she of the Evil Eye casts her gaze in my direction.
-
Less than seventy posts to go until we reach our rather astonishing new plateau.
-
My current favorite ice cream is Blue Bunny Carb Freedom Peanut Butter Fudge. My mom and I went through two quarts of the stuff when she was visiting :o
-
TD, I did very much like the musical numbers in BEYOND THE SEA....they were done quite well and not unlike the musical numbers of the 50s. The costumes and sets were fantastic as well.
-
I am watching/listening to a DVD of music videos of various popular Pakistani pop singers/groups. Very nice music. I am now a fan of Pakistani pop! And I didn't realize that the pop due STRINGS was Pakistani...I thought they were Indian..who knew.
DR Rodzinski, when you get around to listening to STRINGS, I do want to know you thoughts on them.
-
I think I am having a frenzy.
I will now leave to pick up my NY photos and CD disc from Walmart, with a stop at Best Buy to survey the new releases (including the purchasing of a couple of Val Lewton films.)
Oh, I forgot...tonight I see BEA ARTHUR at the Elsinore Theater with Mark and James and James' mom who is visiting from Nevada.
-
Yes, Rodzinski, I was up unusually early (for a weekend) as Freddy did not see any reason for me to sleep in...I imagine a nap will be in my future.
-
And the word of the day is: SPORE!
Ah, yes, S'pores! That ol' capmfire treat, pade frop pelted parshpallows, graphap crackers, and pilk chocolate. (As der B just noted, a dish that's been around for at least a hundred years; as in the Dicken's quote, "Please, sir, may I have some spore?")
-
My friend Margo just spent a week in Hawaii, last month. She had used all of her vacation time and had to use "leave without pay," but she said that it was totally worth it She took all three of her kids and met some friends there. ...
It used to be that women, when they took all the kids and were vacationing for an extended period, headed towards Las Vegas.

Fact learned from the chapter I read today in THE MAN WHO INVENTED ROCK HUDSON:
Rock was turned down not once but twice by MGM's head of talent acquisition. She later regretted the decision after he became a huge superstar, but she said MGM was homophobic in casting potential stars and never even seriously considered him.
Hmmph. I've heard that kind of excuse before. Back when I was at that insurance company I retired from, the continual line I got from Human Resources was that the company couldn't extend partner benefits to significant others was because it would discriminate against the married couples. Bull-loney! The real reason was that the head of HR was a homophobe herself! Homophobic HRs always use their companies to excuse their own failures. (The company later extended the benefits, with no problems.)
-
TOD: Not much of an ice cream man, at least not in the specialized flavors. But whilst in NYC, I did pick up a bottle of pommegranite syrup, which should taste magnificent on a scoop of vanilla. (The syrup, not the bottle. Glass doesn't have much taste to it, after all.)
-
I have just caught up with yesterday and today.
Thank you MBarnum for the kind words. I am very grateful to how the group took the Vixter under their wings She kept floating from one to another. Chatting about dogs with SWW and Der B, Vegan dietary habits with Jane, the zoo visit with Danise etc etc.
Thank you all for making her (and me) feel so welcome.
and yes, there was a moment when Jose said," Oh lets stop in here , it's an adult toy store." and I rapidly headed down the sidewalk to qucickly find something else for her to look at before it was understood that it was a place with collectible toys rather than , well than the kind of things that may or may not be stockef in Condomania (which we did wander on past at the head of the line and let the stragglers go where they may!)
-
My current favorite ice cream is Blue Bunny Carb Freedom Peanut Butter Fudge. My mom and I went through two quarts of the stuff when she was visiting :o
Cool, did you know that Blue Bunny is made in the Ice Cream Capital of the World, otherwise known as Le Mars, IA!
-
I am sorry Danise, but I am afraid we MAY just have to remove the blame for all things from Jose and pass it on to you...
Since you were in NYC...
1. Lady hit on the head with a light in the theatre where you were attending
2. Escalators break down in American Girl Store while you are visiting
3. Lady hit by a bus in front of us
4. Cillaliz hit by a bike messenger while she & Jane were on the phone with you & me
5. Lady falls down in the street next to you while you are walking to theatre
6. Penn Station closed for suspicous soda can while you are there...
The heck with the terrorists.... look out for Danise!!!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
You know I love you sweetie!!!! :-* :-* :-*
-
It is so nice to see DR PennyO postingagain you have been missed.
I hope that beautiful Hawaii helps in your spiritual healing.
I went to Hawaii for a week a bout 25 years ago , I was on the "big Island" of Oahu , staying in Waikki for most of it but did have a one day tour of Maui. Itis a very beautiful place and I hope to someday have the opportunhity to visit it again.
I would love to see your new look. Please do post a picture.

Then how did Van Johnson, Charles Walters and several others get through the MGM doors?

I took the Vixter and her friend to see a local prodcution of Jane Eyre.
The live orchestraleft sonething to be desired and there were a few microphone issues in the first act, the costuming and bad bad wigs was really qquite awful
BUT!!!!
The voices! The actor who played Rochester and the actress who played Jane were absolutely superb, as were the children who played young Jane, Helen, and Adele.
The ones who played Robert the butler and the housekeeper (who's name has momentarilly escaped me) were also very very good, especially the housekeeper who had a wonderful comic touch
Both the girls loved it, but the Vixter especially was on the edge of her seat as Enmily had seen the movie and is actually currently reading the book, whereas Victoria was completely unfamiliar with the material.
She cried, she laughed, she cheered.
I'm tellinm g you peopel if you are puting on a show, get the Vixter sitting amongst your critics her reactions to a show will have them all writing raves!!

Since Jrand asked, let me dig up a few more NYC photos

Oh Cillaliz I loved your photos!

I am looking forward to seeing everyone elses.

HI Guys I'm at the visitors center in Times Square. Just trying to find someplace dry to hang out.
Went to the wax museum--it was very fun. I got to sing for the Amerian Idol part of the tour. I did "Crazy". Simon said I did the song proud and I even had a couple of people come up to after to ask if I was here to try out for a Broadway show!
Well, you only get a moment on these computers so I have to go.
I saw DR Elmore this morning and then DR Jane. DR Jose called me. I LOVE NYC!
Laters!

And I'm sure if someone started Googling, he must have a website by now.
But of course! It's www.nakedcowboy.com. What else??
-
I am watching/listening to a DVD of music videos of various popular Pakistani pop singers/groups. Very nice music. I am now a fan of Pakistani pop! And I didn't realize that the pop due STRINGS was Pakistani...I thought they were Indian..who knew.
My ex-boyfriend is from Pakistan. He likes to sing, but...he would never be able to make a career out of it. ::) I was supposed to visit him a couple of weeks ago (we're still good friends) but he got called in to work at the last minute and had to cancel. :-\
Just had to share. :)
-
Yea!! I just finished one of my papers. One down and one more to go before Tuesday. I may be mostly E&T until then.
It's a good thing that the weather is so crappy outside, at least I'm not tempted to play hooky.
-
I must be off and (practically) running. I have to shower and shave, walk my sister's dog, find a wedding present for my former housemate whose wedding reception is tomorrow, come back home and walk my sister's dog again (she and my niece will be gone all day), usher for a local semi-professional production of The Woman In Black (http://www.harlequinproductions.org/seasonpages/05WomanInBlack.html), then start house-and-cat-sitting at the house with no computer access. That's a long day!
-
Then tomorrow, I have to come back to my house, feed my cat [actually, my former housemate's cat...his former fiancee, now wife (they got married last week in Las Vegas), is allergic], go to my former housemate's wedding reception with the gift that I get today, come home, feed my cat then house-and-cat-sit at the house without a computer. The house-sitting will continue until Wednesday. But they pay! ;D
-
Then on Monday, the entire library district where I work is having our annual "All Staff Day." We all get together for training and free food. This year it's being held in the Centralia/Chehalis area, about 30-40 minutes south of where I work. Since several of us are carpooling, I have to get to work at 8:00 a.m. (I usually get to work at 10:00 a.m.) That's just too darned early for me. ;)
-
So, I'm off. I won't be around for the latest plateau of 150,000 posts, but I certainly put in my share! ;D Have a good day all!
-
More pictures! Lovely.
DRLAURA we must see a photo of your painted office when you are done.
All kinds of things happening today. No rain here, but very cool. And that is okay!
I think I will watch THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON today.
-
Cool pictures of the glasses. SWoody and DerBrucer, have a couple on me!
-
The DP and I are off to the Land of Disney in the Heim of Ana this weekend (until Tuesday) so I will be E&T the next few days - not like I've posted a lot recently, but i won't be able to read the site while away. Love the stories and the pictures from the Eating and Walking tour :)
-
Cool, did you know that Blue Bunny is made in the Ice Cream Capital of the World, otherwise known as Le Mars, IA!
I did not know that! I only knew it was de-lish-us!! And Walmart seems to be the only place in these here parts that sell it.
-
Ok, time for some NY pics from MBarnum!
Here we have the lovely couple DR Jason and DR Cillaliz.
-
Here I am enjoying a cool beverage (it was hot in New York, after all ;D )
-
And the always entertaining Vixmom!! I think this is my favorite photo of all that I took on the trip! LOL!
-
Rodzinski blaming Jose while Jose gives it right back to him! (In front of Caregie hall)
-
More photos later!
-
More photos later!
Don't forget those photos of you in the black briefs.
-
I think I am having a frenzy.
I will now leave to pick up my NY photos and CD disc from Walmart, with a stop at Best Buy to survey the new releases (including the purchasing of a couple of Val Lewton films.)
Oh, I forgot...tonight I see BEA ARTHUR at the Elsinore Theater with Mark and James and James' mom who is visiting from Nevada.
What are Mark and James (and James' mom) doing in a show with Bea Arthur?
-
Back and surprised to see we have NOT achieved our new thrilling plateau. Where in tarnation IS everyone? We don't want to hear errant and truant excuses when we're having a major landmark. Everyone needs to get their complacent butt cheeks back here for the turning of the number.

Great photos! Carnegie Hall!
Last night I watched a 1972 movie I had never seen. It was called Wrath of God - Robert Mitchum, Rita Hayworth, Frank Langella, Victor Buono - directed by Ralph Nelson. It may have been mentioned here before.
I started watching after it had been on for about an hour or so, so I am not sure how it all started, but it was VERY good. I seem to remember it when it was on at the drive-in and wondering why ANYBODY would want to pay to see a movie with Mitchum and Hayworth in 1972.
Not available on VHS, too bad. Has any other DR seen this movie? What happens at the beginning....why is Robert Mitchum pretending to be a priest.
There is a Scottish or English actor in it also named Ken Hutchison who is VERY good, but he seems to have worked mostly in England, maybe DR CP knows him.
I recommend THE WRATH OF GOD - made in Mexico, Rita's last film, and a lot of fun. The print seemed to be fairly pristine with rich dark colors and no splices, jumps, or flecks.

I will be errant and truant when the move to 150,000 happens. I will be celebrating a friend's 50th

A friend's 50th what?
Speculations are endless.

Magnolia
Does this slice of Carrot Cake make me look fat?
:P

Don't forget those photos of you in the black briefs.
Oh!... I've been to come by to check the tapes from the surveillance camera we placed in the bathroom and bedroom... That night vision feature better have been worth the extra fifty bucks!
;D

A friend's 50th what?
Well, at the rate I've been going...
Oh, nevermind...
;)
*Besides, I have a feeling DR elmore was already beating me to the punch on this one.

Good Afternoon!
Greetings from the Apple Store in SoHo - otherwise known as the unofficial logging in place for Hainsies and Kimlets while staying in New York City.
It is indeed a not too nice day weather-wise, but I have a good umbrella, and I managed to be inside during the past two major downpours.
I just treated myself to a nice chocolate break at Marie-Belle around the corner. I order a cup of their amazingly rich Aztec Hot Cocoa as well as a plate of their signature cookies - and I have to say my server was quite generous with the cookies. -There were 10 on the plate - usually there are only 6. I actually ended up with one of everything today. :)
-
A friend's 50th??? And what about our hainsies/kimlets 150,000th? Is that chopped liver or borscht or stuffed grape leaves.
I'm tirrrred. I'm watching Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat. Did you all know that Alfred Hitchcock had a lifeboat? He did, and I'm watching it.
-
Shall we begin our countdown to 150,000? A mere twelve postings to go before our phantasmagorical new plateau.
-
Before hitting the Cocao Bar in Marie-Belle, I spent a good amount of time in the Sale Tent at Broadway Panhandler. WOW! Now that's what I call a sale! There were some clearance items - discontinued stock, old models, etc., but most of the sale items were overstocks. And on one side of the tent there were boxes and boxes of Le Creuset, and on the other side there were boxes of All-Clad - along with representatives from each company. Thankfully, I was not in need of any new cookware. Instead, I stocked up on a bunch of little items. I even got a nice mandoline slicer - one of the nice OXO ones.
And since most of what I bought was at least 40-50% off, I managed to "double" the gift certificate I was given the other day!
Once again, Thank You to those DRs who joined me on my trek across Manhattan the other day. *I shall take a pic of all my loot once I'm back at the apartment.
**And I have a feeling I may head back to the sale tent again sometime in the next two days. There really are some incredible deals to be had there. Fellow New Yorkers, you've been "warned". -The sale ends Monday.
-
Who would have thought that the Apple Store would be hainsies/kimlets-friendly.
-
Shall we begin our countdown to 150,000? A mere twelve postings to go before our phantasmagorical new plateau.
Well, I might as well do my part to contribute to the phantasmagoria!
-
Ten more postings to go.
-
Nine more postings to go until we reach our spectacular new plateau.
-
Who would have thought that the Apple Store would be hainsies/kimlets-friendly.
I'm thinking HainesHisWay.com may be in need of an official technology and computer sponsor.
It's all about the discount!
-
Would this make it seven?
-
Well, at the rate I've been going...
Oh, nevermind...

*Besides, I have a feeling DR elmore was already beating me to the punch on this one.

Moi?

Here we go - we're very close.
-
Almost there to our orgasmic new plateau.
-
I've caught up! It's the season for such things and I forgot to have my immunization booster.
We are about to leave for Victoria's Spa country. Not to be confused with Spore country.
-
Hi all. I'm at the airportl.
It was raining so hard that I simply took soaked self back to the hotel and waited to leave at about three o'clock.
I look like a drown rat. I was able to dry my hair by going into a ladys bathroom and using the dryer you use for your hands for my hair. Wish I could do the same for my jeans/socks/shoes. They all all wet as can be. I just hope I don't catch a good(or a bad) cold from it.
Jane may not have told you but we saw the naked cowboy AND is wife/girlfriend with the pasties on. If I had known it was such a rare sighting, I would have taken a picture.
I am sorry Danise, but I am afraid we MAY just have to remove the blame for all things from Jose and pass it on to you...
Since you were in NYC...
1. Lady hit on the head with a light in the theatre where you were attending
2. Escalators break down in American Girl Store while you are visiting
3. Lady hit by a bus in front of us
4. Cillaliz hit by a bike messenger while she & Jane were on the phone with you & me
5. Lady falls down in the street next to you while you are walking to theatre
6. Penn Station closed for suspicous soda can while you are there...
The heck with the terrorists.... look out for Danise!!!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
You know I love you sweetie!!!! :-* :-* :-*
Hey, I just make life exciting for those around me. 8) :-* You may now return to your normal scheduled lives.
-
A friend's 50th??? And what about our hainsies/kimlets 150,000th? Is that chopped liver or borscht or stuffed grape leaves.
I'm tirrrred. I'm watching Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat. Did you all know that Alfred Hitchcock had a lifeboat? He did, and I'm watching it.
And Tallulah received complaints for not wearing panties on the lifeboat.
-
This could be IT :o
-
SPORE, baby, SPORE!
-
What are Mark and James (and James' mom) doing in a show with Bea Arthur?
Well, I believe is playing Bea Arthur at age 20, and James is playing Bea Arthur at age 30. James' mom is, of course, playing Bea Arthur's father.
;D
-
And speaking of "Spa". I wonder if the Hoffman movie "Agatha" had made it to DVD yet. I must check that.
-
Congratulations All and ONE.
-
Are we there yet?
-
Well, hold your hats and hallelujah, we have achieved our incredulous new plateau! Congratulations to one and all and also all and one. And for the errant and truant who missed the turning of the number - you simply won't be able to tell your grandchildren that you were here during the great event.
-
Are we there yet? Huh?

DRTomovoz, I mailed your sparkling TURNING POINT this morning.

Agatha is not on DVD yet.

Are we there yet?
Pardon me, DR Elmore but I think that's MY question! ;)
-
We're so there we're here.

Question asked and answered!
:)
Congratulations, Everyone!

Gee, to think I was in the airport, posting away on my lap top. Wow!
-
I now feel completely confident in saying that soon we will be the most popular site on all the Internet. And when we are, we shall laugh and laugh and just when we think we cannot laugh any more, we shall laugh again.
-
Hmmm... To iPod or not to iPod...
Must resist... must resist...
-
As my tape ended, I started to rewind....and what would be on TCM but WEST SIDE STORY.....the dance at the gym.
In spite of its much discussed short comings and controversies....I love this movie.
-
Or not...
Stay tuned...
But until then...
Laters...

Thank you DR Elmore.
Thank you BK - I shall now not need to check.
-

Well I did my part, BK. Do you have any idea how many people I told about the site this weekend?
Even this afternoon when I stopped off to get out of the rain and have a nice hot cup of soup (which was wonderful by the way), I started talking to the lady next to me and I told her all about it.
-
Let us raise our collective glasses in a toast. Wait, let's all go make some toast and raise it in a glass.
-
I sometimes raise toast in a glass. It grows quite nicely.
-
CONGRATULATIONS, TO MR BK AND TO ALL HHW'ERS!
-
I am giddy with our miraculous new plateau.
-
Or not...
Stay tuned...
But until then...
Laters...
I'm sorry but I still don't see what the big deal is about an IPod vs a Pocket PC. Matter of opinion I guess but I wouldn't waste my money on a IPod that only plays music when my Pocket PC does so much more.
You have no idea how much I used it this week to jot notes/directions down and I loaded my "Once Around The Sun" soundtrack onto it. I can't stop listening to it!
-
I am also starving, but shall not eat until Mr. Nick Redman and company arrive.
I saw a reading of the second act of a musical about Ginger Rogers. It was the most dreadful thing I've ever seen. Someone who does copyist work for me here in LA wrote the music. The book consists of Ginger and her mother reciting facts about her life. To say that this is dramatically inert would be an understatement of the highest order.
-
Congrats to one and all!
-
I meant to say how happy I am to see PennyO posting!
I hope you having a good time in the Islands!
-
Oh, and I also wanted to tell DR Jose that I was buying dog treats when you called me. I figured if I wanted back in the house, I had better have something good to offer by way of saying how sorry I am to have been away for so long.
-
Congratulations too HHW!! Wow!
Ok, now more photos....(no black underwear, however)
-
At the final HHW dinner, Rodzinski looks lovingly into TPunks eyes...or was he wiping off a spot of ketchup, I don't remember.

Tonight on Animal Planet! The Eukanaba Dog Show.
One of the winners in the non-working class is a Shar-Pei who is a cousin of the late Miss Holly! I am sure Gone Hollywood would have gone on to a great career, if she hadn't had her tail broken as a puppy!
:)
-
Did you get the Cat People, DR MBARNUM?
-
DR Ginny and DR JosePiano relax on the subway....at this point we had the subway car all to ourselves as we had evidently scared the other commuters away.
-
Did you get the Cat People, DR MBARNUM?
No, Best Buy didn't even have it (or any of the other Val Lewtons)! What is up with that??! Sometimes that store is not all it should be. They also did not have the new Race Gentry release MEN IN WAR >:(

HHWers Ginny, Cillaliz, Jane, and Jose shop-around-the-clock!

Well, it's been fun but I need sign off now.
Next post will be from home (hopefully). It depends on what time it is when I get in--it might be sometime tomorrow.
Laters Gators!
By and by NYC. Till the next time.

By request (DR Rodzinski's) here I am in my brand new Kurta which I purchased in Little India. This one is rather plain and used for wearing around the house and out shopping (though probably NOT in Salem, Oregon). It is most comfortable to wear.
I might even spring for a fancier one someday!!
-
And also by popular demand (DR JRand55's) a shot of Freddy with his human. Freddy is wondering where is his kurta!
-
And lastly, but not leastly, the gang eating at a diner/deli/restaurant (I can't recall where this was at!)

My Report on the B/K-less Hainesy/Kimlet gathering of 5 October 2005, Part Quatre:
Unfortunately, when we got to the Subway, the New York Theatre Police arrested Jason on an outstanding warrent of Scenery Chewing.
We had to go to the Central Park Zoo to bail him out.

I am tired and my back hurts. But the painting is done.

Ohh...
And the iPod was not to be. I was actually thinking of getting the 4G Nano, but they were out of them. They only had the 2G in White in stock. I guess it was not que sera.
*However, I'm sensing that I will most likely splurge on one at Christmas as a gift to myself. And by that time, the next generation of iPods is supposed to be released too.
**And it didn't hit me until today, that the iPod Nano replaced the iPod mini. So, no more choice of colors - unless you get the sleeves. Ah, well...
***I also sense that once I do buy one, it will most not likely get as much use as it "should". I really do like listening to the radio during the day whether at home or in my car.
****So... I may not buy one after all.
;)

Ah, yes...
DR PennyO - Soooooo good to see you on board again. Enjoy your time in Hawaii!
Are you taking hula lessons while you're out there?

In spite of its much discussed short comings and controversies....I love this movie.
Not wanting to beat a dead horse (what am I saying, of course, I want to beat a dead horse), what are the short comings and controversies in WEST SDIE STORY? Other than the fact that almost no one actually sings in the film, I thought everyone loved it?
-
Well... I don't sense any sense of "complaint" in that statement.

I will always have fond memories of our ride in the elevator, DR JoseP! LOL!
-
OH!!!
I popped into Best Buy in SoHo just to check it out - I had never been there before. Well...
*Warning to DR Ron Pulliam - You may not want to read the rest of this post.
As I was walking in, they were putting out a display of the new Cinderella DVD boxed set - the two-disc edition with the small book, and the artwork. They were marked down to only $16.99. $16.99?!?!? I asked the guy who was setting up the display if that was truly the real price - since it was cheaper than the standard edition. Well, it turned out that someone in their stock room got a little carried away with the box cutter, and managed to slice into some of the boxes a little too deep. The DVDs are fine. The DVD cases are fine. But there is a gouge/slice on the slipcase - and, consequently, through the plastic overwrap. So, since technically, they were now damaged goods, the manager marked them down for quick sale.
Well... By the time I had finished talking with the salesperson, all the copies were snatched up - I think there were only about 20 copies anyway. Except for the one still in my hand! So... Since it was my niece's birthday last week...
:)
-Aren't I a good uncle?

Just finished watching Lifeboat. Shortly I shall be on my way to sup with Mr. Nick Redman and company, then I shall return to watch a DVD that I'd wager most of you don't know is out - one of our beloved ABC Movie of the Weeks. I bought that little ABC Movie of the Week book (less than 100 pages of actual text) and it's the disappointment of the year. It's more about the fellow who wrote it (telling us what year he came out, how "hunky" all the male stars are, etc.) that about what it should be about. What we need is a comprehensive book with complete credits, and what we get are chatty paragraphs that only occasionally mention a writer or director and almost never mention any other behind-the-scenes folks like a composer or cameraman. It's filled with shoddy errors that any semi-competent FRIEND could have helped him catch (Jaime Smith Jackson indeed). In one entry, he talks about director Jerry Paris and lists some of his sitcom directing credits - he doesn't mention Happy Days, which Mr. Paris directed every single episode of.
It's a self-published book through iUniverse - nothing wrong with that, as long as it's good - sad to say, it's probably ruined any chance of getting a decent reference book on this wonderful series of films. Feh.

And Liz Callaway will be at the Colony Room in West Palm From November 3 – 6, 2005

I think DR JASON is auditioning for the remake of I WANT TO LIVE!!
-
DR TCB - I think some of the "Hollywood" casting came in for comment, and of course as you mentioned....the dubbed voices.
I think it was Pauline Kael who said that WSS was advertised as "The Musical for People Who Don't Like Musicals" - and she agreed.

Ms Kael's review for WSS was particularly scathing, but my only real memory of the review was her putdown of the score. She did like some muisicals: SINGING IN THE RAIN, THE BEGGAR'S OPERA, Fred and Ginger, NASHVILLE.
-
Oh my....she also declared that: "Lana Turner is not Madame X, she is Brand X..."
-
I think DR JASON is auditioning for the remake of I WANT TO LIVE!!
DING! DING! DING! You guessed it! I was actually "screaming" I WANT TO LIVE! as DR WilliamFOrr was snapping that shot.
Regarding all the pictures: Is it fat in here or is it just me? No. It's just me. All y'all look great, but I really need to hit the gym instead of the Krispy Kremes. (He says as he eats a Galaxy bar...) Why didn't anyone tell me my hair was such a mess? Or that my forehead took up the entire upper west side? I thought photo approval was part of my contract. Someone call my agent! :)
DR MBarnum: Shakalaka, Baby!! I love the new outfit. And Freddy is ADORABLE!
I'm finally home from a long trip to PA to see HONK! JR. It's a cute show - I'd rather have seen the full-length version, especially with the direction of this version being so bad - but it is a sweet show and I wish more people would do it. I've been pushing it for a year and a half now. And as much fun as a day with Frog & Toad sounds, A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD sounds much more enjoyable. ;)
-
And also by popular demand (DR JRand55's) a shot of Freddy with his human. Freddy is wondering where is his kurta!
Freddy is the cutest thing ever! And his human's not too bad either. ;)
-
Oh Cillaliz I loved your photos!
\
I am looking forward to seeing everyone elses.
Thanks! and thanks for sharing yours too!

If you're unhappy with any of your pictures, Jason, it just serves you right for not having briefed me on the "suck in your chins" trick. :)
Well, HHW is certain to be the most popular site with the ladies of UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG, especially after I told them today's word of the day on HHW was in honor of the stunning UMBRELLAS leading lady Heather Spore. (OK, I know that's probably not why the word was picked, but still - anything to enhance the popularity of HHW.) Over dinner, we talked about how the 1980's clothing in STARFIGHTER made the teenagers look like they had excess poundage (Heather called it "wigglage") until we couldn't talk about it any more, and then on the ride home by train Milla, Julie and I talked about wigglage some more. The wigglage talk was over a delicious low-calorie :) Italian dinner with the three leading ladies of CHERBOURG, who were careful what they ate because they had an evening show to do after dinner.
And I came very close to meeting Max Von Essen, but dear-fiend (sp?) Milla monopolized him and then he was tied up with his fans who had come from NYC (very popular Guy, this Max Von Essen, seriously), plus it was raining out by the stage door. so I never did get to tell Max about HHW.
-
MBarnum - great photos and Freddy is adorable, not unlike his human!
Well once again an orgasmic plateau was reached and I wasn't there to enjoy it.....such is life. Congrats BK and everyone on the achievement

I did make a trip to Best Buy (didn't look for Cinderella) but I did get an XM radio. Since I live in the middle of nowhere, the pickins on the radio dial are slim almost as slim as the tall buildings that could block the signal!
-
BTW, thanks for the heads up on the dog show. I love to watch it and forgot it was on

Jose, can you post or email our route on the tour? I did this trip sans map so I didn't have a chance to keep track of where we went.

The lovely Shar-pei won best of breed and was 4th in her Group! I don't remember when a Sharp has ever placed that high at Eukanuba!
Beth looked so pretty and I am very happy for her and her doggie.

I have a question for all you experts out there: How many years did the Mickey Mouse Club Show run?
-
Oh...
My parents called me while I was out this afternoon... They wondered when I was coming home. -Apparently, the DC TV stations have been giving a lot of airtime to the possible terrorist threat here in New York City this weekend.
I told them that I'm not really worried, and that I do feel safe. -And I really do.
*Heck, most of the time I work in DC... -And Ford's is just a few blocks from the White House, and a block away from FBI headquarters. Seeing all the "presence" down there most definitely made me shakey at times.
But I appreciated their concern. And their love. And I will see them next weekend.

I love Haagen-Dazs RICH MILK ice cream. And it’s going to be the best ice cream of the world when I put some CC Brown’s Hot Fudge Sauce, which I’ve got at Farmer’s Market, on it! (dear BK told me how to put it on ice cream.) It’s an incredible delicious sauce.
-
ORIGINAL one and only Mickey Mouse Club ran from 1955-1959, it was then syndicated in many markets.
In fact this week was the 50th anniversary of its original premiere. ;D

Thanks, Jrand!

Well, here's my take from this afternoon's trip to Broadway Panhandler. I can finally portion out my cookies in various sizes! And I can make waffle cuts!
:)
-Once again.... THANK YOU!
-
Great kitchen utensils, DRJOSE! Ice scream scoops are one of the best inventions ever!
-
DR LAURA - you are welcome. Once the original series was syndicated for individual stations, I think they were edited into thirty minute segments.

Portion control, baby! Portion control!

Hmmm... There is currently a slow drip, drip, drip in the downstairs bathroom - "my"bathroom - here in the apartment. And it seems to come and go according to the rain fall outside, so... Hmm... The landlady has been called. In the meantime, we've placed a bucket on the floor and we've checked elsewhere in the apartment for any leaks and damp areas in the wall - and we've found nothing else. So... We shall see...
-
...And I guess we should check with our upstairs neighbors since there are four floors above the bathroom. We were thinking it could have been from the pipe that runs to and from the washing machine, but since the flow of the drip does not seem to correspond to when the washer is running... Again, we shall see...

Just a very quick post to let you all know that contrary to popular belief, the back of the plane did NOT fall off and I am not lost (a Lost reference) on some island someplace.
There was a Bear but not one of the polar type. More of the I’m so happy to see you but I’m so mad at you that I’m going to wag my tail and put my face in Mom lap not yours but don’t you dare think of going anywhere again type of Bear. ;D
I am, in fact, safe and sound in the home environment.
Good night, Ladys and Gems. I will talk with you Dear people sometime tomorrow. Afternoon. Possibly evening. Well, maybe Monday morning. Errr, let's just make that sometime on Monday and call it square, Ok? :)
Nighters!
-
Did you try the dog treats on Bear yet, DR Danise?
;)
Glad to know you made it back safe and sound. Welcome home.
-
Hmmm... It appears that I got bit on my arm this afternoon while walking through the subway. I don't like having a case of the itchies.
:-\
-
Can't anyone translate that Roumanian? Remember how amusing it was when we translated the Russian tribute?
Had a marvy dinner and am now going to watch the new ABC Movie of the Week DVD.
-
Well... I believe I am going to get ready for bed. All this rain has made me sleepy...
Goodnight.
-
LOL Jason, I would guess that none of us are pleased with our photographic image! My face always looks twisted, somehow, I don't know what the deal is.
Thanks for the lovely comments about Freddy...he is a fine feline and he sends his love to Walty and Kilbot...two other fine felines who I just realized I never got a photo of!!! Doggone it!
And despite what Jason may think of himself, he is a very cute guy with one killer smile!
Jose also has a killer smile...and a dirty mind...but that is another story.

Well our evening out was not all it was cracked up to be. After settling in to our seats up in the second balcony (!) the lights came down and the man walked onto the stage to announce that Bea Arthur was very ill and unable to perform tonight :-\
In her 25 years of performing this show she has only missed one show...and now this is the second...I hope it is nothing really serious, however.
We were very disappointed (as were the other people in the theater...and it was packed) but decided to just head to dinner three blocks south at J. James, Salem's swankiest and fanciest restaurant. We arrived to find that the place was short staffed and they were turning people away as there was no one to serve them. Again we were disappointed, but not as disappointed as some of the others who were there and yelling at the poor girl who worked there.
So we treked back to the downtown core and at at McGraths. I had the Mango Tilapia.
James, Mark and Linda (Jame's mom) are now heading back to Wilsonville and she flies back to Nevada tomorrow.
-
One very good thing about this evening was getting to meet James' mom. She is great, and is a big movie fan...she has even seen ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE...and ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN! She loves, loves, loves the old horror and sci-fi which she used to watch every Saturday at the movies when she was a kid! She said AOPP scared the bejesus out of her!
She picked out several DVDs from my collection that I am going to copy for her!
-
I'm still up. Why am I still up, you ask? I don't know is the only reply I can give. I'm currently watching "Bedknobs and Broomsticks," which has nearly ended, so bed (appropriately) won't be too far off.
Thank you, Shakalaka Barnum, for your kind sentiments. I suppose none of us would choose to sit and look at photos of ourselves. Still - that's one heck of a forehead that I've got! And I can tell I've slacked off on the situps.
Jose, when are we starting that food diary?
As it has been announced that tomorrow may be the day of the subway attacks, I have decided that I'm not going to risk anything as it is a day off and I have no reason for going into the City, thereby meaning I have no reason to board a train. I do have that dinner on the Upper West Side at 6:30, though... Hmmm...I'll keep you guys posted on whether or not I'll be able to attend. I do hope you all will understand if I don't make it up there. I'm low on cash and that's a heck of a train ride from Queens. But I may still show up - I haven't decided yet.
-
Copying DVDs, did you say? Gosh, I wish I had that ability, even if only to make back-up copies of the stuff I've already got. People borrow things and never return them...you know the sort. And it'd be nice to build my collection, too. Not that I would EVER consider doing that. ;)

Priscilla - I saw something on TV tonight about a murder case in Iowa. I kept looking to see if you'd be in the courthouse scenes. Then I realized there is probably more than one courthouse in the state of Iowa so I stopped looking. :) It was covering the Proleen or Preleen or something "-leen" murder case. The husband was the primary suspect and, even though 10 of the 12 jury members thought he most likely did it, they voted not guilty due to a lack of concrete evidence. Very interesting stuff...

Hmmm don't know that one. I've really only done one murder trial. My client was 16 at the time. A group of kids kidnapped, beat and then shot another kid who was a big drug dealer. I got a lesser included on the murder, but he still got life on the kidnapping. It was pretty gory, but it was fascinating to work on. I really don't think they intended to kill the kid, but apparently the jury disagreed with me and with the lawyers in the other cases that went to trial. No one walked.
There aren't too many murder cases in federal court, mostly guns, drugs, aliens and internet porn with a little counterfeiting, telemarketing fraud, and other assorted misdeeds thrown in. But thanks for thinking of me!
-
And yes, there are actually 99 county courthouses in Iowa and at least 5 ot 6 federal courthouses, so there's a really good chance I wasn't there!
-
Jason and Michael, you are both very cute and both look fine in the photos...as do the other dashing men of HHW
-
And on that cheery note, I'm going to have to get some sleep.
Good night
-
I am a party of one. Just finished the ABC Movie of the Week. I suppose I shall now write tomorrow's notes.
-
Why are Hisaka and Ann just sitting there like so much fish?
Hisaka, don't you miss being here? Don't you miss your HOST?
Has Ann caught up?
-
I 'm showing this beautiful site to my friend, Michiko, eating Chocolate licorice and she likes very much.
Oh, yes!, I miss my sweetest HOST very much.
-
I have caught up. I have returned from a glorious day of theater. DB Jed and I saw not one but two shows today. More details later.

Hello Michiko!
