Just that he and his cameraman are in stable condition and will be transferred to a hospital in Germany.

Today we have been working on a delayed project. We had decided two years ago that in 2005 we would make a CD of our favorite love songs since 2005 was our 10 year anniversary. Well, it never came about. We did get disc one made but Anthony was in Virginia doing a show and then he had his foot problem and we were on vacation, etc. etc. etc. Today after breakfast we decided to push ahead and start on disc 2. We now have a temporary disc. Soon, we hope, both discs will be finalized and notes will be made and then in August, one year late, we will send out "Ben and Anthony's Love Songs"

What a wonderful project!! Can I get on your mailing list? :)

Good afternoon!

The day has continued to be gray and blah though the rain stopped mid-morning.

Actually I do, but I think I'm all set as far as boxes go, actually I probably have more than I need. That could change quickly since I haven't done the kitchen yet, but I only have about 3 or 4 more shelves of books to go, so that's a good thing

From Matt H:As I mentioned yesterday it is possible to have missed it.
Might you please do what Jennifer does and leave a space between the name of the shows and your comments, unless they are completely generic?  


But since you don't watch SMALLVILLE, you really wouldn't be looking at any information for it, would you? I don't watch GILMORE GIRLS and thus I never read anything about the show though the newspaper has capsule comments about it every week just like it does for SMALLVILLE. That was the point I was making.

I have already apologized to Jennifer though it was an innocent and honest mistake.

DR Ben and a few "oldies" who may remember:  UK ex Hainsie Allan went through the official "marriage" ceremony in the UK on Saturday. He and partner John now at least have legal status in so many areas. They've gone to Geneva to celebrate.

Above mentioned Allan is still also in contact with WEL I believe. HHW has created some wonderful friendships.

Continued with the figure skating marathon. What amazed me watching year and after year of national championships was the ebb and flow of careers. A skater like Scott Davis comes into the nationals, skates in 4th or 5th place for a couple of years, gets his bearings and wins two national titles back to back, and then kind of loses it in successive years scoring progressively lower in successive years. Saw this kind of dynamic happen year after year in both the men's and women's events. Truly gifted skaters like Michelle Kwan maintained a level of excellence over a long, long period, but for most, it seems a couple of years at the top is all they usually can muster.

I see that Ang Lee has won the Directors Guild of America Best Director award for BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN.

Which reminds me that the Screen Actors Guild Awards come on tonight, too. I had pretty much put them out of my head, but I guess I'll record the show and watch the 9 o'clock hour when HOUSEWIVES and L&O:CI are both reruns.

I think so too! We have a bumber of coffee shops here that are really good, but everyone went nutso when Starbucks came to town and I just don't get it

I am not a big fan of Starbucks either... I prefer Seattle's Best. There is a local roaster in Grand Forks I really like also.

DakotaCelt SMOKE SIGNALS is a good movie.  

Is VOAGER on DVD?  I think you would enjoy the series.  I also liked the shows final episode very much.


Just checked Barnes and Noble and it is available....

Der Brucer, are they still going to call her Peggy?

I presume so; they've given no indication to the contrary (and she does respond to her name). We shall refrain from telling them her whole name given her by Woody.

Continued new home vibes to Cillaliz.

My Internet Explorer has been giving me lots of trouble again.  And our friend Ellen seems to have noticed that my Internet Explorer problems seem to coincide with hers, so I'm wondering if she and we are on the same internet gateway or whatever you call it.

We had a guest who can't eat sugar the other night, and Skip bought a box of Godiva sugarless chocolate as dessert especially for him.  I just had a piece of the leftovers and discovered the sad truth that even Godiva can't make sugarless chocolate taste good.  :(

The Godiva sugarless wasn't  just "I didn't have another piece" bad, but "I had to spit it out and get the taste out of my mouth by gargling" bad.

Back from the matinee - a nice-sized house of mostly elderly people.  Pretty quiet after last night's rousing audience, but they were rapt and enjoyed the show - performance was not as good as last night, but still fine.  One funny thing - we had our second walkout at the end of the act (I mean, just prior to the end of the act).  Too intense for the 82 year old woman.  But, her 83 year old friend wouldn't leave because she was loving it.  So, the 82 year old woman comes back in for act two.  Unfortunately for her, act two begins with a video replay of the end of act one.  Oops.  She left again.

I'm now in for the evening to have a litte "me" time and to watch DVDs.
