Some comments on the weekend's posts:

MBarnum - congratulations on your new great-nephew! He has a very distinguished name.

SWW & derBrucer - although I'm not an animal person, I admire your rescue efforts and thank you for sharing your adventures and photos.

BK - congratulations on your eBay purchase and vibes for that cell phone message.

Jose - thank you for your reports from the conference - see you soon in NYC!

Jane - you're a skating-on-TV fan, too? Another thing we have in common.

Ben - great plans for the holidays! Looking forward to meeting you (and Anthony?) soon.

Ben · « **Reply #33 on:** March 07, 2005, 06:00:05 AM »

Yes, Anthony will be at the show on Saturday.

Vixmom - Did you have to go back to work today to get some rest?

Your weekend sounded like fun, although busy. With our son off to college, we miss participating in his activities.

Good Morning all. I am feeling the complete opposite of splendiferous... I have a headache, my eyes feel like they will explode any moment ( and I believe it may be a blessed relief if they do) and it seems some invisible person is poking a an invisible, but extremely sharp ice pick into my left ear drum.

Other than that I'm fine.

Congratulations on your baeseball purchase bk, that does indeed sound like a splendiferous win!! I look forward to the photos.

Just 13 days until PeenyO's show and my very first Hainsie/kimlet meet..I think that is splendiferous!!

Ben - I just listened to your current review on Showtime. I'm enjoying the entire program and appreciate your email notifications. When I lived in Ann Arbor (late '60's/early '70's), our local station had a similar program on Sundays at 1pm. I remember first-hearings of such shows as Pippin and Follies on that program. Your BBC show will now become a weekly must for me.

Ben, is there any chance you could make me a tape of your reveiews? I would love to hear them . Unfortunately, the fast computer at workl has no speakes and my home computer is so slow that we cannot listen to the radio on it so I have no way of picking up the broadcast myself.

I'll bring you a CD of Volume 1 (the first 21 reviews plus some extras) on Saturday the 19th and then we can discuss trying to get a way for you to hear at least my segment if not the whole program. I will make Volume 2 sometime in the late spring or early summer so if you aren't able to listen to the program, at least you will have the CD.

Ginny, thanks for the kind review. I'm glad you enjoy the program. It's been a real treat for me to have a creative outlet after 14 years of dormancy. Tomorrow I'll be recording another 12 reviews. They should start playing sometime in the late spring after this current set is broadcast. There are 3 left from the 12 I recorded last fall.

I too enjoy DRBEN's radio reviews! And Dublin....oh....I was Dundalk north of Dublin about 18 years ago....we drove through Dublin to get there. I loved the country. And the people. Everyone met for lunch at a pub and watched television and sang.....it was a lot of fun. Much poverty....and no drinking age, so teens and younger were in some of the bars at night....but it was a beautiful country.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #42 on:** March 07, 2005, 06:51:09 AM »

Didn't I get you a '59 Chevy for your birthday, MBARNUM?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #43 on:** March 07, 2005, 06:51:29 AM »

And congrats on the new great nephew!

MBarnum · « **Reply #44 on:** March 07, 2005, 06:51:48 AM »

DR Kerry,
You must post a photo of your Metro! I love Metro's. My friend Ryan, who used to work for Judicial, but who now works for a different agency, has a Metro and his father has a Metro! They are such fun to drive around in.

As a matter of fact you did JRand54! But until I get hold of Mr. Franz's shrinking machine I will be unable to drive it around much! LOL!

And thank you all for the grand-nephew congrats!

I did not go up to the hospital to see the baby yesterday as I figured there would be more then enough visitors...so I will get a gander at him next weekend, hopefully.

MBarnum · « **Reply #47 on:** March 07, 2005, 07:03:31 AM »

Imagine my surprise to see this keychain on Ebay!

I think Cal would have gotten quite a kick out of it! LOL!

After I got home, I was pleased to see that I’d won a fabulously fabulous item on eBay – a baseball from Dodger Stadium circa 1959.

Well, we best expand the range of "circa" because Dodger Stadium wasn't opened until April 1962!

Quote

During the 20th century, the only privately-financed ballparks in Major League Baseball were Yankee Stadium (built in 1923) and Dodger Stadium. Walter O'Malley and architect Emil Praeger set the stage for baseball's most popular and beautiful showplace when they began designing the Dodgers' new home after moving to Los Angeles in 1958. The stadium opened its doors on April 10, 1962 and the Dodgers won their first game at their new home the next day on April 11 when they defeated the Cincinnati Reds, 6-2. The Dodgers drew 2,755,184 fans at Dodger Stadium during its inaugural season.

The 1959-1960 date seems reasonable for a Paramount Day ballyhooing Li'l Abner, but it would have been held at the Coliseum (LA, not Rome).

Perhaps for my TOD wish I could have this baby:

Then I could hop into my DeLorean Time Machine and return to LA in 1958 and hasten the construction of Dodger Stadium.

I thought about DR Jed this morning while reading an article in today's newspaper about the alarming dirth of teachers in North Carolina, and how recruiters have been going to Illinois and Michigan trying to lure prospective teachers to seek employment here. Just wanted to pass the information along if you feel the need to expand your job search to the East Coast.

COLD CASE had a very touching story tonight, and as usual with this series, I am usually watching the last ten minutes through tears. Certainly did tonight.

Fortunately for me, I had a furry Puppy with which to wipe away the tears.

I'm afraid I'm not a car fan. Can't tell one from another, and as long as they get me where I need to go, I don't generally fantasize about them.

I had been thinking of buying a new car this year, and I will definitely go the Saturn route when the time comes, but really, I don't have any "dream cars" out there.

vixmom · « **Reply #55 on:** March 07, 2005, 07:31:28 AM »

Does anyone else here watch "Arrested Development'?
We are addicted to it.

Matt H. · « **Reply #56 on:** March 07, 2005, 07:32:37 AM »

Another astoundingly beautiful day in NC. Supposed to get into the 70s, and the bright blue sky is blinding. Heard on the weather that there is still some winter weather in our forecast, but for now, it might as well be spring (a Rodgers & Hammerstein reference).

Jrand73 · « **Reply #57 on:** March 07, 2005, 07:33:32 AM »

I have been accused of having arrested development, DRVIXMOM.

Matt H. · « **Reply #58 on:** March 07, 2005, 07:34:26 AM »

No, I tried getting into ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, but I just didn't key into it. I am looking forward to seeing the premiere of Kirsti Alley's new series FAT ACTRESS on Showtime tonight. I'm not a big fan of hers, but the show has gotten good reviews for the pilot, so I'm anxious to see it.
