Once in college, I was driving back to school from Atlanta to Oxford, Miss. It was a rainy sunday night after Christmas break had ended. My car broke down in the middle of nowhere, Alabama. This old guy stopped and inquired as to my trouble, brought me to his brother-in-law's house and these people spent the whole night fixing my car in their home garage. They didn't even know me! I have sent them a Christmas card every single year since then, and we have kept in touch that way, so that was a happy ending to a bad situation.

I have always relied on the kindness of strangers

That's a lovely tale DR Rod....it was good of you to keep in touch with them as well

Ha! Yes, it was basketball. We are talking about me lingering in the background of the game here, not like anyone would see me who I didn't warn in advance I could be seen. I'm going NETWORK tomorrow, as the Final will be on CBS. I'll wear a red shirt so any HHWer should be able to see me.

Jed should be happy his Washington team won a close one against Stanford. It broke my heart, only because I had become a big fan of the Stanford "Dollies" over the past 10 days. This is their little dance troupe that accompanies the band. Lovely and skillful ladies.

To answer Pogue, I edit the daily programs for this event. Traveling to an event is supremely uncommon, but this particular one demands it for whatever reason. Sorry I missed you and Shakey's. I may yet try to sneak some mojo potatoes before I fly out tomorrow night.

Speaking of the Gal, we are going to have any interesting time next Saturday, not knowing each others names! Vixmom and DH meet Rodzinski and the Gal! LOL

It is a wonderful thing when people come through for you like that.
Here's the funny postscript: I had a cherry pie with me in the car that day from my mom, and I kicked myself when I realized I could have given it to those people who fixed my car. It would have been perfect! I arrive back at school in the middle of the night, and it turns out I am a night early, the dorms aren't open yet, nothing in the god forsaken town IS open, except a cruddy motel which I had to stay in, and all I had to eat was that pie. So it was lucky I didn't give it away, and they got so much more out of me writing to them, which I might not have done if I gave them the pie. Make any sense?

vixmom · « **Reply #42 on:** March 12, 2005, 03:00:27 AM »

Perfect sense...I must admit I am very bad at notes and folloqwing up..I have good intentions and then stuff gets in the way and I forget until I'm in the shower or falling asleep or drving through a snowstorm then I make a mental note that that the second I walk in the door I will sit down and WRITE THAT LETTER and then I come in and there's a phone message, and dinner to make and laundrey to fold and another six weeks wanders away.....

Following up can be difficult.
Game's on at 3 pacific time. Actually, I don't know if it will be nationally televised. CBS could choose something else to show out there, but I think perhaps I will bring my copy of BENJAMIN KRITZER and prop it up for our amusement.
Why does nobody believe Rodzinski is really my name?

vixmom · « **Reply #44 on:** March 12, 2005, 03:09:56 AM »

and the Gal was so named by her parents? LOL

vixmom · « **Reply #45 on:** March 12, 2005, 03:12:08 AM »

I shall try to get control of the TV remote at 6 PM . I would LOVE to see Benjamin Kritzer propped up on the table...do it do it!!

We'll also have to talk about psychotic and incompetent school administrators, as your tale remineded me of the kind of people my schools in Indiana were plagued with.

vixmom · « **Reply #47 on:** March 12, 2005, 03:13:24 AM »

Its been lightly snowing here all night, we have about 2 inches of new stuff....

Rodzinski · « **Reply #48 on:** March 12, 2005, 03:16:31 AM »

Don't tell me that. I will just stay here. I will just not come back.

This may not be the most snow in inches we've had, but it seems like the most days of snow we have had in my 8 years in NYC.

Is really infuriating... the K - 5 years were really good, the teachers (with the exception of ther 3rd grade teacher but that's a whole other story) really were enthusiatixc about teaching and helping the children succeed. But the whole Middle school experience is a nightmare... and with school taxes at $4,000 a year, we can't affpord to pull her out and spend another $5 or 6 K for private school

I am seriously considering going to the school board but I am concerned about being dismissed as a crank, and having my daughter get stuck bearibg the brunt of payback by the miserable cretins that call themselves "educators"

Well I've been living here fro 47 years and although it is not the most in inches it sure seems like it's the longest winter in a long tome... of course it's not as bad as 96 when we had FEET of snow... and we had those huge blizzards in the late 70's and early 80's... but pretty much the snow knew enough to go away by early March....

Tales of the Unexpected starring VixMom! Whew! What a week!

And it sounds as if DR DANISE's week was pretty harrowing as well.

Yes we need burgers. Double cheeseburgers with green onions and tomatoes and salt and a fresh fresh bun.

Last night I started to watch DR CP's PSYCHO 3. I didn't see PSYCHO 2 so I think I missed some of the backstory although there was a little flashback. Anyway - I really liked the Vertigo-like beginning, and I liked the guy driving the car, but I am an anti-fan of Miss Diana Scarwid - so I didn't watch all of it. It didn't help of course that it was on AMC with all the commercial breaks. Maybe I will give it another try when it comes on again.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #55 on:** March 12, 2005, 04:17:56 AM »

DR CP must tell us some Cyd Charisse stories.....what was the audience response to her....was she EVER casually dressed....I imagine her in tailored clothes 24/7.....was she a good actor to be onstage with?

Best farces....hmmmmmmm.....stage for me would be the aforementioned A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM (which I loved being in as Hysterium).

DR RODZINSKI what two teams are playing in your game?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #57 on:** March 12, 2005, 04:43:05 AM »

Ah....Washington vs Arizona on CBS at 6pm EST. It is on the schedule from the Staples Center! Very exciting.

Michael · « **Reply #58 on:** March 12, 2005, 04:50:32 AM »

I agree with all those farces that people mentioned. Now I have to remember what else I have seen.

Thank you, DR Tom, for the information on the new MISS MARPLE films. There are dozens of Miss Marple short stories that I wish they had filmed rather than re-doing the Marple novels. Still, I'll be very interested to see these. Thanks again for the information.
