Well, you've read the notes, you thought the notes would never be posted, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're bored of Long Night's Journey Into Day and are doing Ah, Wildnerness instead.

And the word of the day is: COMPOST!

George, have fun at the concert. I have always liked Manhattan Transfer.

I have LOVED The Manhattan Transfer ever since I discovered them in high school...and have never stopped.

George · « **Reply #8 on:** May 10, 2006, 12:47:39 AM »

I've seen the group in concert six times and this'll be the first time that I've seen any of them doing a solo act.

George · « **Reply #9 on:** May 10, 2006, 12:48:35 AM »

Well, it's time for me to be sleeping. Good night, DakotaCelt!

Good news about the CONVERSATION....the verb not the movie.

Work today AND thunderstorms, what a combination.

And tonight is THE AMAZING RACE.

DRJENNIFER, if you have a tracking number, you can usually go to the website for the post office and find out where the package is.

Wow! I didn't know they all went to high school together! Tim Hauser looks so much older than the others.

It's happened again.

No, we're not adding another dog to the household. (Angie is growing so fast it just seems like we've got more than six.)

I've got one day off this week, and der Brucer has already found a way to book it with something that needs doing.

This time, it isn't at the grandlads' bidding, or their mother's. This time, the request has come from the teacher of the elder lad.

She and her class will be going to Philly sometime soon to see the play The Stinky Cheese Man. What she has asked of her favorite grampa (and, therefor, of myself, the "spare") is to locate a nearby place where the class can enjoy their box lunches.

So der B and I will be heading up to scout out locations, preferably close to the theater. A park with grass, or someplace with benches, will be perfect. "Ah, but what if the weather is wetish?" I asked when der B explained our mission to me. He looked at me and scowled, because he knew I was right, even if I had complicated the job.

Philadelphia, here we come, yet again. I admit, I like the city, even though I have yet to have a proper Philly Cheesesteak sandwich, the kind you have to bend over while eating so as not to get the contents dripping all over yourself.

A raid on the Reading Terminal Market is also on the schedule for the day.

I saw them twice at the glorious Latin Casino in Cherry Hill, NJ (once on a double-bill with Lily Tomlin--now that was a show!)

Good morning!

It's still overcast here, but it's a much brighter day than yesterday, and it should be considerably warmer, too, which will be a relief. When the temps went back down over the weekend, my house cooled off considerably, and I've resisted kicking the heat back on, but have had to stay bundled up to be comfortable.

Supposed to get some rain today and tomorrow, but these don't look like rain clouds to me, at least not yet.

I hope the IDOL judges' comments will help Elliott stay in the contest. If he's eliminated, I won't call for any of the remaining three. I'll watch the show, but I won't vote any more.

Oh, my! LOST tonight picks up after those shocking events at the end of the last episode. Should be mesmerizing, and then INVASION has its season finale.

I read on the internet that with the probable cancellation of COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, ABC may now give INVASION another chance next year though probably not on Wednesday after LOST. If they move GREY'S ANATOMY to Monday (as is being speculated), LOST might go there with it.

Good morning, all! I'm now at the public library after a lovely breakfast with DR Ginny and her DH Richard, who has been one of my best friends since junior high school. He was a boy of few words then, but a fantastic percussionist and musician, and now he's a gentleman of few words, but with DR Ginny and me running our mouths at full pace, we tend to leave him in the dust.

Last night I had a lovely dinner with my friend Alan, his beautiful wife Liliane and their daughter Julie, and a lovely dinner it was: fettucine in an alfredo sauce with ham and peas, fresh radishes and tomatoes, and strawberry shortcake. Lots of wine, to boot.

I'm still sorry I missed the salsa and margaritas, DR Ginny! Perhaps next trip?

Wednesday morning greetings!

And now I'm at work after the lovely breakfast described above by DR Elmore. Must go get ready for the brownbag lunch that I throw each second Wednesday for folks from nonprofit organizations. Today's speaker is February's guest - back by popular demand - ME

Today's sparkling breakfast was at

Java Johnny's

Good morning all. The Mother/Daughter dinner was a bit of a disappointment unfortunately. This was our 8th year and for the first time ever there was no dance floor, no deejay, no music of any kind... just a raffle for baskets that were donated by the troops.

When we brought in our donations for the baskets I assumed they were door prizes and each person would be given a ticket when she came in, but no, you had to pay for the raffle tickets. I am confused as to where the proceeds were going. This was the most expensive dinner yet and the food was terrible, cold and tasteless, some had burned entrees, others undercooked ones. The service was horrible and for entertainment we had a fashion show.

Since in years past we had arranged for each girl to receive a beanie baby animal, and the deejay always had leis and maracas and the girls always spent hours dancing and twirling on the dance floor there was a lot of grumbling.

Too bad. It is usually a highlight of the year.

According to dialidol.com, Taylor got the most phone-in votes last night, followed by Elliott, Katharine, and then Chris coming in last.

The text message votes supposedly will tell the story. It's going to be close, I think. Chris may be going home!

Vix Fam - sorry the evening was a disappointment - but at least you had each other, sometimes a position I truly envy.

Elmo and Gins!! I would have loved to be in your grand company - I would have guzzled a gallon of Java, while watching you eat... but I think I would have enjoyed the hilarity of the conversation.

I had such a good time with the Mirror Stage actors last night. Such a congenial lot they were/are. I look forward to tonight's rehearsal. We're going to block this very surreal script - in a way the director hopes will clarify some of the more opaque ambiguity. I just LOVE having playmates!!!

PS - first time I have ever used a Scottish accent... came off as something of a cross between Welsh and Russian, i think...
